Quzhou City is a thoroughfare connecting Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi and Anhui provinces, and a sacred site of the Southern Confucian Sect. Key attractions include Jianglang Mountain (a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, with three towering stone peaks and Danxia landform wonders), Nianbadu Ancient Town (a thousand-year-old town, known as a kingdom of dialects, featuring Ming and Qing dynasty architecture), the Southern Confucian Ancestral Temple (second only to the Confucius Temple in Qufu, a sacred site of Confucian culture), and the Longyou Grottoes (an eternal mystery, an underground grotto complex). Local delicacies include Quzhou's "Three Heads and One Paw" (rabbit head, duck head, fish head, and duck paw, spicy and flavourful), Quzhou baked cakes with a crispy exterior and soft interior, and Changshan tribute noodles, smooth and delicate, showcasing the bold flavours of western Zhejiang.
