(ezhejiang.gov.cn) Updated : 2018-12-17

Located in the west of Zhejiang Province in the upper reaches of the Qiantang River, Quzhou has long been known as the thoroughfare to the four provinces, namely Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi and Anhui.

As a nationally renowned historic and cultural city, Quzhou was built in Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 25-220).

Considered as the dwelling place of Confucius's descendant in South China, Quzhou has Confucius' South Zen Ancestral Temple, one of the only two Confucius ancestral temples in China.

衢州位于浙江省西部,钱塘江上游,是浙、闽、赣、皖四省边际交通枢纽和物资集散地,素有“四省通衢、五路总头”之称。这是一座具有1800多年历史的江南文化名城,素有“东南阙里、南孔圣地”之美誉,是孔子后裔的第二故乡。
