[2025 Kaihua Attraction] Travel Guide for Root Palace Buddhist Culture Tourism Area (Updated Jul)

This park is a fantastic place which is worth visiting in Quzhou, Zhejiang Province. There is huge carving sculptures and great lakes with carving zoo animals museum. Also there is ice palace, where the temperature is lower than 0°degree. There is many sculptures made from ice cube. From October there is opened a glass bridge under the park and there is every day shows with light and music from 6.30 p.m. The prices are not cheap but I highly recommend to visit that place!

Tired of the crowds in cities and tourist spots, I came to a secluded small town tucked away in the western edge of Zhejiang—Kaihua. Here, the landscape is picturesque, the crowds are few, the ancient villages are tranquil, and the forests are lush green. It truly is a rare paradise for escaping the world. Spend your weekend here and give your body and soul a healing two-day trip. Day 1: Qianjiangyuan National Park - Tantou Village - Jingu Restaurant Day 2: Gengong Buddha Kingdom - Cultural Living Room Recommended check-in spots: 1. Gengong Buddha Kingdom An awe-inspiring world of root carving, with over ten thousand root carving artworks all crafted from ancient tree roots. Visiting here is a double shock of nature and craftsmanship! Besides root carving art, there are plenty of other activities! You can even take a helicopter ride to overlook this fairyland small town hidden in the mountains. Attractions: ⭐️ Enter from the North Gate: "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories: Westward Journey" National Trend Immersive Theater, Helicopter Experience ⭐️ Huaxia History and Culture Hall: Creation of the World, Jade Emperor ⭐️ Children's Fun Park: Root-carved animals like the twelve zodiac signs and giraffes; fun rock climbing, jungle adventure, spider tower, and other amusement facilities; plus photo spots like the pink castle 2. Qianjiangyuan National Park Recommended to come here for hiking and creek tracing in summer! This is the source of the Qiantang River, covered by primeval forest with waterfalls and clear pools scattered around. Hiking and breathing in the fresh air will instantly lift your mood! 2.5-hour route: Source Monument - Yuanjing Waterfall - Zen Cottage - Lotus Pond - Rainbow Waterfall - Triple Waterfall - Yuejian Bridge 3. Tantou Village An original and rustic village with clear mountains and waters where time flows leisurely. The hundred-acre lotus pond is now in full bloom, graceful and varied in shape~ This is also a preservation area of She ethnic culture. Admire the colorful ribbons, costumes, and artifacts in the Tantou Rural Culture Museum. She totems, family traditions, and teachings are everywhere in the village, immersing you in the thousand-year heritage of the She people. 4. Cultural Living Room Kaihua’s artistic landmark, featuring a museum, library, cultural center, and more. Books, intangible cultural heritage, and art exhibitions intertwine here. Sitting down for a moment brings inner peace. 5. Food Kaihua cuisine is a taste of the mountains and waters! I went to Jingu Restaurant and recommend the signature roast duck, with thin and crispy skin; the clear water fish, fresh and tender without any fishy smell, with a milky soup color; and Kaihua green snails, which are amazing when paired with perilla leaves—truly love it~

Tired of crowded tourist spots? Hidden in the western edge of Zhejiang is a secret small town privately featured by National Geographic—Kaihua! With a forest coverage rate of 80.54%, the source of the Qiantang River flows through the town, weaving ancient villages, waterfalls, root carvings, and starry skies into a picturesque Jiangnan secret realm.

Root Palace Buddha Kingdom! Let the root carvings give you a little shock. There are two things to do in Root Palace Buddha Kingdom!! One is to take pictures, and the other is to be shocked by the root carvings! The garden design of the entire scenic area is very beautiful, with a scene at every step. It is very suitable for ancient style and new Chinese style photography. Sisters, go ahead The entire scenic area is currently open to six spots. It is recommended to start the tour from the South Gate. The whole journey takes about 3-4 hours. You can also consider buying a ticket for the small car in the park and get on it whenever you want. There are many themes of root carvings, and it can be seen that the ambition is to fit all of China's 5,000-year-old civilization into it. The most fun part is the Children's Park, which houses a group of statues of the twelve zodiac animals. Everyone must take a photo with their own zodiac animal! The dog in Figure 1 is very majestic, as much as five or six meters tall. Each zodiac animal is huge and very shocking. The various themes are full of cultural atmosphere. I feel that there is not enough culture when I walk around. From Pangu creating the world to the philosophers of the Spring and Autumn Period, from the 72 sages of Confucius to the 108 generals of the Water Margin, from the 81 chapters of the Tao Te Ching to the 24 Filial Piety Pictures, from the 56 ethnic groups to the important historical figures of various dynasties. Too many to count and too many to see. There are more than 20,000 works in total. If you look at each one carefully, it will probably take a whole day! The potted plants in Zuijing Garden are also unique. Various potted plants are arranged in an orderly manner, lush and green, with shape and style. Each pot looks very precious. The Guanyin in the pagoda is also unique. In the main hall is a ten-meter-high Thousand-armed Guanyin, calm and peaceful. In addition, a series of Guanyin statues are displayed on the second floor. They are of various shapes, vivid and detailed, and every hair is clearly visible. The works are basically taller than a person, and the size and number are shocking enough. Although I am a novice in carving, it does not affect my appreciation of its beauty!

✨ The "World's Most Unique Garden" created by the millennium-old tree god, the first national 5A-level tourist attraction in Quzhou City, with over 20,000 root carvings spread across 3 square kilometers. In 2021, it was awarded the title of "World's Largest Root Carving Museum" by the Guinness World Records. —— 🌈 The Root Palace Buddhist Kingdom Scenic Area combines Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, history, and folk culture, creating numerous root carving works, mainly with Buddhist themes. The Five Hundred Arhats, the Laughing Buddha, and the Future Buddha are all made of root carvings, vivid and lifelike. The largest is the main Buddha, Shakyamuni, weighing over 40 tons! However, I personally find the most impressive to be the group of Arhats under the long corridor❗❗ Layer upon layer, with various postures, stretching as far as the eye can see. In addition, there are many idiom root carvings, historical figure root carvings, ethnic theme root carvings... —— 🌈 Besides the root carving landscapes, the scenic area itself is also a large Jiangnan garden, with towering pagodas and Zen-like cloud lakes. As the scenic area is located in the mountains, it is particularly beautiful with mist lingering after the rain. —— 🌿 Kaihua is located at the junction of Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangxi provinces, known as the "Hometown of Zhejiang Cuisine." I had the impression that Zhejiang people don't eat spicy food, but Kaihua cuisine seems more like Jiangxi cuisine, combining fresh, fragrant, and spicy flavors. Qi cake, green snails, clear water fish, and Suzhuang rice noodles... are all worth trying. —— 🎐 Address: No. 1, Genbo Road, Kaihua County, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province ⏰ Opening hours: May 1 - October 31, 08:30-18:00; November 1 - April 30, 08:30-17:00 🎫 Tickets: Adult ticket 120 yuan; children under 1.3 meters, seniors over 70 years old can enter for free; children between 1.3 meters and 1.5 meters, seniors between 60 and 70 years old, and students can enjoy discounted tickets. —— 🚇 Transportation: ...

From "Kaihua Station," take bus 211 or 212, get off at "Shangmaocheng" station, then walk or take a taxi —— 👉🏻 Tips: ... Kaihua Station is far from the county town, and the interval between buses 211/212 from the train station to the county town is very long ... The scenic area is large, with fewer tourists on weekdays, slightly more during holidays

In today's society, information is open and transparent, and logistics are well-developed, so it's hard to find a good place that is not known or imitated by the outside world. But if you come to Kaihua, a small city in Zhejiang, you will definitely feel the same as I do: the things here cannot be copied by other cities, and you can only experience them in Kaihua. . 🍲 Clear Water Fish & Kaihua Green Snail, the first time I came to Kaihua, these two delicacies really subverted my perception. 🐟 The old saying goes, "When the water is too clear, there are no fish," but in Kaihua, the farming of clear water fish can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty. Today, there is a Clear Water Fish Museum in Kaihua, and a Clear Water Fish Culture Festival is held. There are also folk customs such as "sticking fish tails," which are unique in the country. 🔩 Kaihua Green Snail is also not found elsewhere. This type of snail is relatively small, with green meat and a more delicate taste, making it irresistible. 📌 Root Palace Buddhist Kingdom, a 5A-level scenic spot in Kaihua, is very suitable for shooting Hanfu. By visiting the root carvings here, you can learn about the world! From gods and Buddhas to the twenty-four filial pieties; from the Qin King to the fifty-six ethnic groups, there are countless root carvings here, and each one is exquisitely carved and can withstand careful scrutiny. Unlike natural scenery, ancient villages, and towns, the world of root carvings is too costly and difficult to replicate elsewhere. So, if you want to travel without following the trend and want to find a unique place, Kaihua is the right choice!

After leaving the second area of the Root Palace Buddha Kingdom, we arrived at the third area, the Chinese Culture Root Carving Art Museum. There was an event going on here, with lion dances, children creating calligraphy and paintings on site, and explanations and introductions. It felt like a provincial or even national event. Although there were more people here than in the first and second areas, it didn't affect those of us who really wanted to visit. What attracted me most about this museum was the series of root carvings "Daoxing Tianxia" that recorded Laozi's life from birth, study, growth to preaching. After a tour, I took pictures of this group of root carvings and shared them with the readers who are destined to read them. Another interesting thing is that the root carving art records the living conditions and classic customs of 56 ethnic groups. I took special pictures of the root carving displays of the Han, Mongolian, Manchu, Gaoshan, and Oroqen ethnic groups. In the Chinese Culture Root Carving Art Museum, you can not only appreciate the art of root carving, but also learn more about the condensed history of Chinese civilization and the living conditions of various ethnic groups. It's worth reading carefully.

These days, the temperature in Quzhou and Kaihua has been around 37°, to facilitate the tour of the Buddhist country of Gengong, we stayed in a hotel across the block from the scenic spot. At about 8 am, we entered the park from the south gate, there were very few people, slowly walking, quietly watching. Entering the south gate, climbing up the steps, 2 huge root carvings as standing pillars, supporting as soon as you enter the main gate, the palace of roots, the kingdom of Buddha, all the shocking pavement comes. Then enter the Buddhist Culture Root Carving Art Museum, the earliest area of ​​the Gengong Buddhist Kingdom, with more than 1,000 giant root carving works. Inside the Wu Buddha Happy Pavilion, a total of 15 groups and 81 Maitreya group root carvings, implying "nine-nine to one", the various forms of laughing Buddhas are lifelike, marveling at the craftsmanship, while relaxing the mood. To get to the Zuigen Pagoda in District 2, you have to walk the 680-meter-long corridor built along the hillside, also known as the Rohan Cultural Corridor. The five hundred Rohan root carvings are majestic and elegant. We also visited the Zuigen Pagoda in District 2, saw Qingmei Garden and Yunhu Zen Heart, and then entered the Huaxia Culture Root Sculpture Art Museum in District 3 (described in another article). The Buddhist country of Gengong, started as a small root carving workshop in the 1990s, completed a district in the first 10 years, became the only 5A-level scenic spot in Kaihua County in the second 10 years, and became a state-owned sole proprietorship in Kaihua County in the third 10 years and received the Guinness World Record, founder Xu Guqing outstanding achievements. Later travel itinerary, we stayed in a B&B, the owner is a carpenter, he gossip Xu Guqing, said that in the circle of Kaihua carpenters, said that Lao Xu is not into the circle of fools, one mind doing root carving, backed a lot of debt, poor I can't even afford to marry a daughter-in-law. Later, the county state-owned capital invested, until the last 120 million yuan to acquire Lao Xu's shares became a sole proprietorship, Lao Xu is now considered to have turned over. Visited the shocking Gengong Buddhist Kingdom, combined with Master Xu's experience of enduring success, and feel that it is a very worth visiting scenic spot, see the scenery people, very thick!
