Top Things to Do in Quzhou-2024

TOP 1
Jianglang Mountain Scenic Area
Jianglang Mountain Scenic Area
4.6/5 · 1,906 review
Highlights:
Jianglang Mountain is formed of the three enormous rocky peaks that dominate its summit, appearing to grow out of the earth like three rock bamboo shoots that resemble the Chinese character chuan (川). It is a classic karst topography. Mountain climbing here is a thrill. A good portion of the trail up consists of a near-vertical stairway with only a thin strip of tranquil and remote sky visible. Climbing the near-vertical stairway along the rock wall to of Jianglang Mountain is no less difficult than climbing the famous Mount Hua.

4.8/5 · 1,787 review
taCommentInfo-imageBased on 4 review
Highlights:
Geographically, the Tianji Longmen Scenic Area—formerly known as Longmen Canyon—is a volcanic rock canyon. The scenic area has more than fifty peaks over 1,000 meters above sea level towering hundreds of meters over the valley floor. The valley is a typical "V"-shaped gorge with a very deep valley floor. Together the high mountaintops and deep gorge form an undulating valley and peak landscape. Each of the peaks in the scenic area is different in its own way. Every mountain peak has its own distinctive characteristics. There is a 1.8-kilometer-long boardwalk called "Flying Dragon in the Sky” which floats above the mountain landscape at nearly 1,000 meters above sea level. Walking along the boardwalk, visitors will find their feet wreathed by misty clouds. With the cliffs to either side, this is definitely a special experience.
