Come to Shenxianju to get some fairy air

The seafarer talks about Yingzhou, but the truth is hard to find in the misty waves. The Yue people talk about Tianmu Mountain, and the clouds and mist that flicker may be seen. Tianmu Mountain stretches across the sky, its might surpasses the Five Mountains and covers Chicheng. This is Li Bai's vivid description of Mount Tianmu in his poem "Dreaming of Wandering on Tianmu Mountain and Chanting a Farewell Poem", and Mount Tianmu is today's "Shenxianju". Shenxianju is located in Baita Town, Xianju County, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is famous for its volcanic rhyolite landforms and has "the depth of Tiantai and the strangeness of Yandang". The scenic area is known as the "abode of immortals" for its strange peaks, cliffs, plank roads, ancient bridges and sea of ​​clouds. We entered from the south gate, took the Nantian Cableway directly to the halfway point of the mountain, and then took the escalator to the Nantian Peak. We had a sense of exhilaration as if we were soaring into the sky, as if we had really become gods riding on the clouds. [South Zenith Observation Deck] is 869 meters above sea level. Standing on the fully transparent glass platform, you can overlook the misty canyon and experience "walking in the clouds". [Buddha's Shadow and Lotus Melody] is the best camera position for taking photos with Guanyin Peak. There is also a hidden camera position in the northwest corner of the observation deck, where you can take photos of Guanyin Peak and the sea of ​​clouds at the same time in the early morning. You can visit the Lotus Platform along the high-altitude plank road, where the glass lotus is particularly unique in shape. There is also the internet-famous Ruyi Bridge, which is shaped like a jade ruyi. The fully transparent bridge deck is thrilling and spectacular when viewed from the air. The transportation here is also very convenient, and you can choose to drive or take the high-speed rail. It only takes 3 hours to drive from Hangzhou, and 1 hour by renting a car from Taizhou West Station. Search for "Shenxianju South Gate Parking Lot" or "North Gate Parking Lot" on the navigation. You can take the high-speed rail to "Xianju South Station" or "Xianju Station", and then transfer to the scenic area special shuttle bus. Shenxianju was rated as "the last secret place in Jiangnan" by National Geographic China. Take an exploration trip this Spring Festival to add some fairy spirit to the new year. I wish you all your wishes come true in 2025!
