Go to Baoxi to meet the summer at 24℃
Baoxi Township is located in the western frontier of Longquan City, located in the border area of Zhejiang and Fujian Province. It is one of the most remote townships in Longquan City. Baoxi Township is surrounded by mountains, with fresh air and pleasant climate, with a forest coverage rate of 88.3%. There are many waterfalls and pools in the area. It is known as the "natural oxygen bar" and "a place to bathe with mineral water". It is an excellent place to escape the summer heat and cool off in summer.

The Piyun Mountain in Baoxi is 1,680 meters above sea level. It has high mountains and deep valleys and abundant rainfall. It is named after it is rare to have no Piyun all year round. This is also the birthplace of Oujiang River, Minjiang River and Qiantang River, with rich natural and cultural landscapes. The forests are dense, the mountains and rivers are magical, and the climate is pleasant. The forests and seas are isolated from the heat. The average temperature in summer is around 24℃, and the night is even cooler.

Thanks to the abundant rainfall, the mountains and forests are often filled with fog, and the eyes are filled with refreshing green, as if walking into the foggy forest, the fog is lingering, making people floating in celestial spirit, like dreams, as if falling into the Wizard of Oz...
Climb up Piyun Mountain in summer, watch the sunrise of the sea of clouds at a high altitude, watch the strange peaks and rocks, enjoy the "forest breathing" in the primeval forest, taste the "Piyun Water that can breathe", and harvest a cool summer.

Check-in international building complex in Xiaoshan Village
When you come to Baoxi, you must not miss the internet celebrity check-in point here - Baoxi International Bamboo Buildings.
The 16 bamboo buildings in this complex were completed by 11 architects from eight countries: the United States, China, Colombia, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam. They are quietly located in the embrace of the mountains, facing the quaint villages across the stream and blending with the green mountains and green waters. They seem to be like "growing out of the soil of Baoxi", which is quite spectacular. The entrance of the building complex is a double spiral stone arch bridge. Through this bridge, it seems to pass through a time tunnel, dividing the world into two, half of which are the beautiful mountains of Jiangnan and half are the Eastern Shenyin of bamboo.

The wonderful things in Xitou Village where the bamboo building complex is located are more than these. When you come here in summer, you can wander in the lotus base in Hou'an, travel through the dreamy firefly canyon, watch the stream flowing around the village, the smoke rising from the mountain village, the fireflies cross the lotus pond, watch the ancient water pestle flowing day and night, and feel the vicissitudes of the ancient village.

In addition to traveling around, relieving the summer, you can also go to Mr. Sheep’s farm in the village to see the healed cute pets. The super large open-air grass and more than a dozen super cute pets, the completely open viewing mode, playing and interacting with the cute pets at close range, completely healing the heat in my heart!


The night in Baoxi is not as sultry as the city. What blows on your face is the clear wind in the mountains, sootheing the heat in your heart. Looking at the stars from afar by the bamboo buildings in Baoxi is the most romantic thing in summer.

Immortal Dragon Kiln Fire under the coolness
Do you know? Baoxi is also an important inheritance of the "traditional firing technology of Longquan celadon" in human intangible cultural heritage. There are 13 well-preserved ancient dragon kilns in Baoxi Township, which is the largest ancient dragon kiln group in the world.
"Dragon Kiln" is not the name of the kiln, but the shape of the kiln. It is named after it is built on the mountain and looks like a lying dragon. It is the main form of celadon firing in Longquan celadon. It has been passed down for thousands of years and has not yet been extinguished. Almost every month, a traditional kiln opening ceremony is held in Baoxi Township.

In Xitou Village in Baoxi, there is also a B&B with the theme of dragon kiln celadon. This is not only a homestay, but also a living museum. The B&B still retains this dragon kiln rebuilt in the 1980s - Jinpin Kiln. The B&B is the eighth generation descendant of this kiln. The B&B also has a celadon exhibition hall and a celadon hand-made experience area. If you want to learn about celadon culture at all times, you might as well stay at this B&B for a few days.

This summer, you must come to Baoxi to escape the heat and wipe out all the stuffiness!
