🎒Summary of the two-day tour:
During this trip to Quzhou, there were no noisy attractions to check in, no rush to catch up with the itinerary, only the evening breeze under the city wall, the sunshine on the grass, the poetry in the museum, and the fragrant aftertaste of the bowl of Quzhou vermicelli. This small city does not fight or compete, but quietly touches you at every glance. I look forward to visiting Quzhou again next time! #QuzhouTravel #QuzhouFood #QuzhouJiangshan #MuseumDaShang
