Introduction of Shuitingmen Scenic Spot

Introduction to Shuitingmen Scenic Area:

"I don't know that Shuitingmen is a native of Quzhou". Shuitingmen is an important part of the core area of Quzhou National Confucian Cultural Industrial Park, and it is also the main scenic spot of the 5A-level scenic spot built by the central leisure area of the ancient city and the municipal government.

It's like a book, with the once stormy clouds quietly embedded between the lines. Shuitingmen historical and cultural block is the block with the most concentrated traditional buildings and the richest historical and cultural relics in Quzhou City. There are 14 national, provincial and municipal key cultural protection units and 36 historical buildings in the block, and the architectural style and street texture are well preserved.

The area is dotted with temples, ancestral halls, halls, towers, historical sites and patches of traditional houses.

Shuitingmen historical and cultural block takes "Confucian culture" as the background and "China's southern pilgrimage site and Shuitingmen" as the goal. The area includes leisure experience, cultural and creative retail, food and beverage, art space, fitness, VR technology, Chinese academy, hotel inn and so on. It has become a fashion gathering place for "urban tourism, cultural and creative business".

Name source:

According to the place name of Quzhou, "Because there is a snow pavilion on the waterfront outside the ancient city. Qujiang River flows through the pavilion, so it is commonly known as Shuitingmen. " And folklore: "Standing on the gatehouse overlooking the west, the gatehouse, the snow pavilion, the river and the gatehouse water are three points and one line." The reverse reading is the water pavilion door. "

Water pavilion gate and water stop gate can also be interpreted as water can only stop outside the city gate and never let water enter the city.

The Shuiting Gate looks at Qujiang River in the west, and behind it is the ancient place name of Quzhou. Shuiting Gate is a common urban architectural style in southern China in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is built in four directions, with double-decker pavilions, overhanging hills and elegant manners. The flying pavilion and Liudan on the tower are elegant and magnificent. A bird's-eye view of the majestic ancient city, towering pavilions and long Qujiang River bears the heavy historical vicissitudes of the ancient city and witnesses today's future.
