Practical Travel Tips
- Transport: Jinhua’s attractions are fairly spread out. Within the city, you can ride shared electric scooters. For surrounding sights, driving yourself or renting a car is recommended for greater flexibility.
- Reservations: Remember to make online reservations in advance for museums, intangible cultural heritage venues, and similar places to avoid a wasted trip. For the boat ride at Shuanglong Cave, you need to check in at the service center first.
- Timing: The highlight of Youbu Ancient Town is morning tea, and many stalls are closed by evening. Guzi City can be quite sunny at midday in summer, so it is better to go in the evening and enjoy the night view.
