    In history, Nianbadu was the only ancient road leading to Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi. It was once the most prosperous commercial port on the border of the three provinces. It was not only a commercial port, but also an intelligence exchange point. In this ancient town, there are more than 140 surnames and 13 dialects. It was once a place where secret agents appeared. Now Nianbadu still retains very well-preserved Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings, and the military officer's office and old bank can still be seen.

    The Buddha Kingdom of Zhangzhou Gengong is the only root carving cultural theme in the world, known as the "first strange garden in the world". More than 20,000 root carving works are gathered here, more than 40 tons of Sakyamuni master Buddha and 680 meters 500 Luohan array shocking people, can be called "turning decay into magical" art hall. The scenic spot cleverly integrates Buddhist culture, historical long rolls and garden landscapes, Zuigen Pagoda, Yunhu Zen Heart and other attractions one step at a time, and Hanfu is excellent for taking pictures. Although the niche is low-key, the harmonious coexistence of nature and humanities is immersive, suitable for meditation and taste of the craftsman's spirit and Zen aesthetics. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes, reserve 4-5 hour in-depth tour, free period (November to March) is more value-for-money.

    In the ancient city of Quzhou, every scene bears the thousand-year story of a thoroughfare connecting four provinces. Climbing the Shuiting Gate, you'll find yourself at the foot of a postal route connecting Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Anhui. Countless merchants bid farewell to the waterways and embarked on land journeys. Cruise the Qujiang River at night, where the sounds of oars and the shadows of lights intertwine the silhouettes and reflections of the ancient city walls, recreating the grand spectacle of sails vying for power and the convergence of trade from four provinces. The Tianhou Temple on the riverbank, a rare inland Mazu temple, silently bears witness to the expansion of Fujian merchants along the river, a living reminder of Quzhou's status as a water transport hub. This intertwined history is woven into the flavors of the city. The century-old sesame cakes of Shao Yongfeng, crafted with the intangible heritage of handmade "sesame-making," blend the sweet and savory flavors of northern and southern China, seemingly encapsulating the customs of four provinces within a single, crispy, fragrant cake. In the ancient city of Quzhou, experience a commercial legend fueled by water and take away a sweet lingering touch of culture, both ancient and modern.

    The difficulty level of the climb is relatively low, and it is generally quite relaxing. It is cooler in the mountains, but the transportation is not very convenient. You can only take the bus or drive yourself, and the bus usually takes a long time to wait. The ticket price is a bit expensive.

    Scanning the QR code to enter was very convenient! The staff at Tianji Longmen were all very welcoming! Hiking with my parents took a little over 3 hours, and the scenery was beautiful! We were a bit startled when a monkey suddenly appeared halfway up (the staff warned us about monkeys before we entered), but thankfully they were quite well-behaved and didn't steal anything!

    The round trip is approximately 4 kilometers, and the drive from the entrance to the fourth checkpoint is approximately one hour. The distance between the first and second checkpoints is longer, while the distances from the second to the third, and from the third to the fourth, are relatively short.

    An interesting museum made of old houses relocated from all around the province to Longyou. Old wood smells amazing. It feels like aromatherapy to walk through this museum. Would recommend for a leisure stroll during the weekend.
