Wuxi River

The Wuxi River is a first-level tributary of the Qu River. It originates from the mountainous area of Xianxia Ridge in southern Quzhou, with its primary source being Qingjing in Longquan, Zhejiang Province, and its secondary source being Shiziyuan in Pucheng County, Fujian Province. The river flows through Longquan, Suichang, Jiangshan, and Qu County, and joins the Qu River approximately three kilometers east of Quzhou City. It has a total length of 150 kilometers and a drainage area of 2,570 square kilometers. The Wuxi River winds through majestic mountains and hills, creating a picturesque landscape where lush green mountains meet crystal-clear waters. Some high-altitude areas still preserve large tracts of pristine forests. The Jiulong Mountain Nature Reserve has been established in the upper reaches within Suichang. Additionally, there are several potential sites suitable for nature reserves in the middle and lower reaches, within Jiangshan and Qu County. The region boasts a beautiful natural environment with a pleasant climate that remains warm in winter and cool in summer. There are over 50 scenic spots across the entire basin suitable for tourism development, and more than 10 areas ideal for establishing summer retreats and health resorts.
The Wuxi River Scenic Area is a river-and-reservoirs scenic zone centered around Hunan Town. It is located along the middle and lower reaches of the Wuxi River and within Qu County, representing the most densely clustered section of attractions. The area encompasses four tiers of interconnected hydropower station reservoirs—including those in Hunan Town, Huangtankou, Shishi, and Naqiao—as well as their adjacent shoreline regions. This scenic zone features over 30 major and minor attractions, characterized mainly by its idyllic lakeside mountain views, the grandeur of the hydroelectric stations, and opportunities for summer retreats and wellness.
