Quzhou, Zhejiang

People's Republic of China

Quzhou, Zhejiang shares 31 connections with 3654 other places across 12 topics, from nature and wartime history to classical Chinese culture. The city sits on the upper Qiantang River; almost all of its rivers feed into the Qiantang, which empties into Hangzhou Bay. A landmark connection ties Quzhou to Qufu: during the Southern Song dynasty, Duke Yansheng Kong Duanyou fled from Qufu to Quzhou, splitting the hereditary Confucian title between north and south. The city also appears in contemporary architecture through Ma Yansong's Quzhou Stadium.
