Another fun place in Sanshi Stone Forest is the suspension bridge, which is more than ten meters long. It is very exciting to walk up and tremble. The naughty male students are running and jumping on it, deliberately scaring the timid girl. Connected to the suspension bridge is the glass plank road. Imagine standing on the glass with a width of 1.5 meters to 2 meters and a ground drop of 400 meters. Looking at the distance of the distance from the far side of the road is nearly a kilometer. Can you not be afraid?
I personally like the slippery lock, and the feeling of flying in the air is particularly cool. You can see the beauty of the mountain all the way. The friends also agreed to capture each other's moments of flying.
There are many types of stone forest scenic spots, and all kinds of animal shapes are vivid and vivid. It is known as the world's largest pictogram stone zoo.
The stones here are different in shape, and people with wide brain openings can always find out what they are like. Some can see the "image" of the form at a glance, and some "images" that need to be squatted or standing on the heights to be vaguely seen; others are "images" that are all guessed by mind. The last one is to kill the "like" you can't see...
I was originally a child who didn't like to climb a mountain, because when I was too tired, I didn't have the mood to appreciate the beauty around me. The scenery in the eyes of others, I am actually not willing to pay too much physical strength. However, if you are a little bit fun during the mountain climbing process, it may not be too painful for this very tiring process.
After returning from Sancha Stone Forest, I no longer resist the heavy physical activity like climbing a mountain, because it is easier to find fun than to discover the beauty.
IMMERSING Hotel QuZhou Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Yinmo Liangting Bay Hotel
Travel, for me, is about relaxation and pleasure.
It's not about completing plans or posting on social media.
Only when a trip allows me to fully relax do I feel it's worthwhile.
The choice of hotel is crucial; we can put aside other aspects, but the decoration must create a cozy atmosphere. I'm not very fond of the pure commercial style of black, white, and grey. I prefer a warm, everyday home decor. In this regard, I recommend the Yinmo Liangting Bay Hotel. The room decor is warm, offering a sense of relief as soon as you enter, without too much stark white or dark black. Everything is warm, and the blackout curtains can even create a restful environment during the day. In a room, just the right decor allows you to sit back on the sofa and release the fatigue and weariness of a long day. At this moment, the hotel's other services, such as smart guest control, cost-effectiveness, and warm hospitality, are to me already more than worth the price.
Quzhou high-end mountain forest hotel, super healing
Breathe in the forest, empty yourself and feel the present
Yinmo Hotel, built by the mountain, stay here to feel the embrace of nature.
The scenery inside the hotel is very special, with 3 buildings and a million gardens. There is a kind of feeling of hiding in the city
The flowers and plants here can take away my fatigue for a day. Inside the hotel, mountain view rooms, gym, audio-visual room, buffet bar are all available. It's no problem to stay here for a week for rehabilitation

In the south, there is a fine tree, its flowers are like white jade cups
Camellia oil, known as the 'Oriental Olive Oil', is one of China's oldest woody edible plant oils.
Camellia oil is also known as tea seed tree, tea oil tree, white flower tea; it belongs to the tea family, a perennial small shrub. Its seeds can be pressed for oil (tea oil) for consumption, hence the name. Tea oil is the best edible oil. Its main components are unsaturated fatty acids, mainly oleic acid and linoleic acid, accounting for more than 90%, cholesterol-free. Therefore, consumption does not increase cholesterol in the human serum, and is not prone to cause arteriosclerosis and blood pressure increase. It does not contain aflatoxin that causes cancer in humans.
Camellia oil has also made many cosmetics, and in 2020, Changshan was recognized as a Chinese characteristic agricultural product advantage area.
Longyou Caves Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Longyou Grottoes
The Longyou Grottoes were the second stop on our Longyou trip, located in Xiaonanhai Town, Longyou County, hence also known as the Xiaonanhai Stone Chambers. They are listed as a key national cultural heritage site in the seventh batch. We visited the Longyou Grottoes more than ten years ago, but this time, the development of the scenic area feels particularly good, like entering a beautiful garden. The opened five grottoes have very proper cultural relics protection and safety measures, and they are also very user-friendly.

📷'About the check-in spots'
✅Huxi Time Art Corridor
A place that amazed me, where farming culture, natural beauty, and modern art collide. The rapeseed flowers in Ting Tang Wei Village are in full bloom recently, making for stunning photos. The art installations in the middle of the flower sea are passionate, rustic, and modern, each with its own style.✅Remember to check in at the bookstore in the flower field, with its red brick design it feels like you've arrived in Jingdezhen.
🌼The rapeseed flowering period will last until mid-May
✅Mahogany Town
A spectacular complex of buildings, with architectural styles from the Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties, mostly made of mahogany, hence the name 'Mahogany Town'

The largest ancient residential relocation protection project in the country, a gathering place for southern ancient residential architecture. Here you can see the well-preserved ancient residences with southern waterside pavilions, ancestral hall gatehouses... telling their stories
✅Longyou Grottoes
Called the 'ninth wonder of the world', the shock of witnessing it in person is just a small part of the grottoes. The neat carving marks and the noticeable drop in temperature inside the cave stimulate your curiosity to explore it

Longyou Grottoes | The Ninth Great Wonder of the World
Longyou Grottoes, also known as the Underground Pyramids, are hailed as the Ninth Great Wonder of the World.
Having never been to the Longyou Grottoes, I've always been fascinated by them and wanted to explore what they're all about. On February 8th, I visited the grottoes and experienced firsthand the difficulty and hardship ancient people must have faced when carving out these caves. Moreover, considering the lack of advanced technology in the past, how did they manage to construct such deep grottoes in an environment filled with carbon dioxide, where even candles would extinguish?
I also looked into the history of the grottoes. On June 9, 1992, Wu A'nai and three other villagers used four water pumps to drain water for 17 days and nights, finally revealing another mystery of the world that could be compared to UFOs. Led by Wu A'nai, they entered a mysterious underground world, grand and spectacular, full of bewildering wonders.
All five caves are connected, making the visit very convenient, walking from one to the next. The entire tour takes about 30-40 minutes to complete.
How to book?
Follow the Quzhou Culture and Tourism official WeChat account, click on the free tour, and all scenic spots in Quzhou are free to visit on weekdays. If you have time, you can come on a weekday to climb Jianglang Mountain, Lanke Mountain, Medicine King Mountain, and visit the Sanqu Stone Forest, as well as explore the Twenty-Eight Towns and the Root Palace Buddha Land.
