Things to do in Longquan

I drove to Longquan Mountain Scenic Area by self-driving navigation. I started to take the cable car at 8:30. It was very stable when I climbed up slowly. It looked very new. I felt very safe for someone who was a little afraid of heights. Then I took the scenic shuttle bus and got off at Huangmaojiandian. It was early in the morning and there were not many tourists. Now it is the off-season, so there is no need to queue up, which is very powerful. I started climbing. Today's hike was relatively easy. I like the steps here. They are very neatly paved and gentle. It took about an hour to reach the highest peak in Jiangsu and Zhejiang at about 400 meters. I walked and stopped, and the scenery was beautiful along the way. Plants such as azaleas and red bean trees are now in bloom, and many bees are collecting honey. The large tracts of Huangshan pine are more spectacular as you go up. Standing on the commanding heights, you can see all the small mountains. As far as you can see, there are rolling mountains, blue sky and white clouds. The temperature on the top of the mountain is only a dozen degrees. Don't be too cool in summer. I didn't choose to return by the same route, but walked towards the source of the Oujiang River. It was a different scenery. I passed by Fengyang Lake, which was very nice. I left the scenic area at about 2 o'clock. If there were more people, I would have played for a whole day. In short, it was worth the trip. I recommend everyone to go there once if they have the chance.

I went to Xitou Village for the first time in 2020 and was attracted by the quietness and simplicity there. I went to Xitou Village again in 2022. Because of the repeated epidemic, there were not many people. Walking into the village, local specialties are sold all the way. Every family is similar. Because there is not much rain this year, the water in the stream is small, so you can go in the water at noon. But it is very cold at night, so you have to wear a thick coat.

The ticket price is too expensive; 50 yuan is the most it should be. The Jiuqu Yunhuan Scenic Area is a meticulously crafted terraced field for tourists; it's okay for taking photos. Qixingdun is best viewed from a distance. The Yunhe Terraces can't compare to the Yuanyang Terraces in Yunnan. Just take a casual look.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, sword-making master Ou Yezi forged three famous swords at the foot of Qinxi Mountain in Longquan: Longyuan, Tai'a, and Gongbu. Longquan was named after the sword. It was originally called Longyuan and was renamed Longquan in the Tang Dynasty. Longquan City has a civilization history of more than 5,000 years, with sword style and porcelain rhyme, surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on four sides. In the depths of each mountain, there are several such small mountain villages. Due to inconvenient transportation and lack of supplies, they have always maintained the most primitive state, isolated from the world, like a fairyland on earth, just like a paradise on earth. Yunwu Ancient Village is one of them Yunwu Ancient Village has a history of thousands of years. Later, it was renamed Xiazhang because of the ancient camphor tree at the entrance of the village. Guan Shifu, a famous scholar who lived in seclusion here in the Song Dynasty, once described it to Emperor Renzong at that time: "The white clouds in the full valley are endless, and the bright moon in the pool is fishing without a trace", outlining the boundless pastoral artistic conception of the village.

Looks old and beautiful. Makes me think of what old China might of looked like. Shops have wooden doors and many people making handmade items. there is also a hidden gem of a coffee shop!

松弛感满满，一步一景老少都可以安心游玩时长也比较合适， 建议专门抽出一天时间来玩这里和附近的景点，最主要的特色就是瀑布和玻璃栈桥，还有一个朔溪，下山的路可以沿着小溪走，还有特殊的地理环境，还是很不错的，夏天肯定是很舒服的。 玻璃桥还要另外付费，我是觉得还是走小溪下山好一点，路面基本上算是平坦，老人和小孩也能走。就是路上没有什么卖吃的的地方，你饿了的话就没辙了。唯一就是里面没有卖吃的地方，全靠自备

Huangmaojian is so beautiful after sunrise! Standing on the top of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you can see all the small mountains. The surrounding mountains are covered by the morning mist, which is hazy and beautiful! The mountain breeze is gentle, and the birds are chirping, which is refreshing!

My second visit to West Lake was great; the boat tour was excellent. The dock was easy to find, the staff were very friendly, provided clear explanations, and helped with any issues. There were also sightseeing buses, which were nice but a bit pricey. Taking the boat tour and then walking around was both perfectly fine.
