[2025 Tiantai Attraction] Travel Guide for Shiliang Waterfall (Updated Jan)

is a relatively far attraction. We took the bus from the Guoqing Scenic Area Visitor Center, and the round-trip fare is CNY 40 per person. The bus departs on the hour, and returns on the hour. The mountain road is nice, and it takes about 40 minutes to reach the entrance. We followed the standard route, and it took us about 2.5 hours to exit the scenic area. Now it's winter, and there are many withered branches, which looks a bit desolate. The stream is gurgling all the way, and it must be beautiful when spring comes. It is definitely worth a visit. In addition, if you drive to the entrance, there is a shuttle bus at the exit that can take you back to the entrance for free.

Shiliang Waterfall is located in Tiantai Mountain, 22 km north of Tiantai County, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is the essence of Tiantai Mountain National Scenic Area. The following is a detailed introduction: Natural Scenery • The uniqueness of Shiliang Waterfall lies in a huge stone beam about 2 zhang (6.6 m) long, which spans between two cliffs. The Jinxi and Daxingkeng streams flow from the left and right, and after four turns, the streams gather into a huge snow wave, rushing towards the stone beam. Most of the water flows through the bottom of the beam and falls into the deep valley, making a thunderous sound. • There are many attractions around it, such as the ancient Xiafangguang Temple, which is the place where the 500 Arhats of Buddhism should be true. It preserves the camphor wood carvings of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the oldest gilded 500 Arhats in China. Zhongfangguang Temple is located beside Shiliang Bridge. In the temple, there is a copper pavilion built by the eunuch Xu Gui, the governor of the nine gates in the first year of the Ming Dynasty. There are miniature 500 Arhats carved in the pavilion. Tanhua Pavilion was originally built by Prime Minister Jia Sidao during the reign of Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty. It is said that after the pavilion was completed, when the monks offered tea, strange flowers appeared in the teacups and disappeared suddenly, so it got its name. History and Culture • Tiantai Mountain is the birthplace of the Tiantai Sect of Buddhism. There are more than 20 cliff inscriptions near Shiliang Waterfall since the Song and Ming Dynasties, such as the "First Wonder" inscription by Mi Fu, a great calligrapher of the Song Dynasty, and the "Shiliang Waterfall" inscription by Kang Youwei, a leader of the reformist movement in the late Qing Dynasty. • Many literati and poets, such as Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, and Wei Yuan, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, were attracted by it and left magnificent poems. Travel Tips • Opening hours: 08:00-16:00. • Ticket information: CNY 60 for adults, CNY 30 for children, students, and seniors. • Transportation: You can drive there. From Hangzhou, take the Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway to Shangyu, then take the Shangsan Expressway and exit at Tiantai. You can also take public transportation. Take Bus No. 7 from Tiantai Bus Station to Guoqing Muyushan Parking Lot to buy tickets, and then transfer to a tourist minibus to the scenic area.

After visiting Guoqing Temple, I hesitated between the large waterfall and Shiliang Waterfall. Finally, I decided to go to the natural Shiliang Waterfall. I trusted Xu Xiake. Instead of taking the shuttle bus, I drove directly to the top of the mountain. Here is a shortcut for you: If you are traveling by car and don’t want to climb a lot of mountain roads with your elders, Amap can directly navigate to the southeast parking lot, because there is also an entrance to the scenic spot, just walk along the small shops As you can see, not long after entering here, you can directly see the waterfall, the highest attraction. If you enter from the main entrance, the walk will be quite long and tiring. If you want to see other scenic spots inside, you can walk a little further, but this waterfall is already pretty good, very suitable for taking pictures🤳, and friendly to the elders. And when I left at five o'clock at the end, no one collected parking fees🤫 (Confidential) 🎫Ticket💰60

Shiliang Waterfall is an old attraction in Tiantai Mountain and one of the most classic attractions. You can search for the meaning of the keyword "Shiliang" first. "Shiliang" itself is also a major village and town in the north of Tiantai, located about 27 km north of Tiantai City. The scenic area is a one-way route, and the whole journey requires climbing, but not much and not very steep. 1.5 hours is enough for the whole journey. In the scenic area, although the main waterfall Shiliang Waterfall and the Jianjian Spring near the exit are small, the height is enough, and the momentum is there. These waterfalls are "pure natural" since ancient times. The "water" is the biggest highlight in the whole scenic area, such as Xiaotonghu Waterfall, Yingzhen Bathing Pool, Shiliang Waterfall, etc. There are also "Waterfall Viewing Pavilion" where you can't see the waterfall, "Xu Xiake Statue", and an ancient Fangguang Temple below Shiliang Waterfall, which you can visit. The Zhongfangguang Temple above is under renovation, but the "balcony" outside can be used to enjoy the panoramic view of Shiliang Waterfall from the side above. The lush greenery and comfortable wind in the scenic area, combined with the waterfalls of various sizes, make it a great attraction. The ticket price is not low, with the original price of CNY 60.

Taizhou is a land of magic and beauty. With a longing for nature, I embarked on a journey to explore Tiantai and Shenxianju. Upon arriving in Tiantai, the first thing that caught my eye was Guoqing Temple. This ancient temple, nestled in the mountains, is like a wise man who has been left alone in the world. The architecture of the ancient temple is simple and elegant, and the eaves and arches exude a strong historical atmosphere. Stepping into the temple, the incense is curling, and the Sanskrit is lingering. The branches and leaves of the thousand-year-old camphor tree sway gently in the breeze, as if telling the story of the long years. Walking on the path in the temple, feeling the tranquility and solemnity, the hustle and bustle of the world is left behind at this moment. Leaving Guoqing Temple, I came to Shiliang Waterfall. I saw a huge stone beam spanning between two peaks, and the waterfall poured out from under the stone beam, splashing water. The majestic momentum is awe-inspiring. Standing on the viewing platform, listening to the roar of the waterfall, watching the falling water like the Milky Way, my soul seems to be baptized. The water droplets form beautiful rainbows under the refraction of the sun, adding a touch of gorgeous color to this spectacular scenery. Then, I rushed to Shenxianju. As soon as I entered the Shenxianju scenic spot, I seemed to have stepped into a dreamlike world. The mountains are undulating and varied. Some are like swords piercing the sky, some are like fairies dancing, and some are like old people sitting and thinking. The clouds and mist in the mountains gather and disperse from time to time, and the peaks are looming in the clouds and mist, like a fairyland on earth. Walking along the winding plank road, every step is a new beautiful scenery. Under Guanyin Peak, I stopped and looked up. The mountain is like Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting on a lotus throne, with a kind face, awe-inspiring. Continue to move forward and come to Ruyi Bridge. This uniquely shaped bridge spans between two peaks. The bridge body is transparent. Walking on it is like walking in the clouds, exciting and fun. Looking from the bridge, there is a deep abyss under your feet, and there are strange peaks and rocks around, and the scenery is beautiful. The waterfall in Shenxianju is also a highlight. Different from the majestic Shiliang Waterfall, the waterfall here has a bit more agility and beauty. The waterfall falls from the mountains, like a white silk hanging in the mountains. The water flows through the rocks, making a crisp and pleasant sound, as if it is a beautiful movement played by nature. In the depths of Shenxianju, there are also dense forests. The trees are lush, and the sunlight is sprinkled through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light. Various rare plants grow here, making me feel the magic and vitality of nature. Here, I seem to be one with nature, forgetting all my troubles and fatigue. The trip to Tiantai and Shenxianju in Taizhou made me appreciate the magnificence and magic of nature. The tranquility of the ancient temple, the majesty of the waterfall, the peculiarity of the peaks, and the misty clouds are all deeply imprinted in my mind. This is an unforgettable trip, a spiritual journey of intimate contact with nature.

Shiliang Scenic Area (Gufangguang Temple - Shiliang Waterfall) If time is limited, you can choose between this and the Tiantai Mountain Great Waterfall. Shiliang Waterfall is not as spectacular as the Great Waterfall, but I prefer the quiet atmosphere of the waterfall + temple combination. The whole scenic area requires 2-3 hours of walking, with almost no climbing, very relaxing. Remember to do sun protection and bring mosquito repellent when traveling in summer Taizhou attractions are some distance apart, so it's more convenient to drive or rent a car

I finally made it to the other side of the Anywhere Door - the Tiantai Shiliang Waterfall! The first stop in Tiantai was the Guoqing Temple, and the second stop had to be the Shiliang Waterfall, just to witness the breathtaking view of the temple on the waterfall. However, before going, I was a little hesitant. First, because I saw online that there are snakes at Shiliang, and I was going alone; if I encountered a snake, could I handle it by myself? Second, with only three to four hours, should I go to Shiliang, Tongbai Palace, or the Tiantai Mountain Great Waterfall? After much thought, I still chose Shiliang, because a temple hanging on a waterfall is not something you can see just anywhere! I shouldn't be so unlucky to encounter snakes, and the Tiantai Mountain Great Waterfall is man-made, so I chose the natural Shiliang Waterfall this time! After making the decision, I drove to Shiliang. There are several must-see sights at Shiliang: first, the Little Copper Pot Waterfall; second, the Number One Seal in the World; and third, the most stunning view - the Shiliang Waterfall! Shiliang is a natural granite bridge, uncarved by human hands, naturally formed, spanning between two cliff faces, with the waterfall flowing beneath it like frost, pouring down like the Milky Way. The ancient Fangguang Temple is conveniently located on the mountaintop to the left of Shiliang, overlooking the waterfall, presenting a beautiful picture of the temple above the waterfall. This is the essence of the Shiliang scenic area. Seeing this magnificent scene, the longing and anticipation in my heart were instantly fulfilled. When you want to go somewhere, that place takes root and grows in your heart, and when what you've imagined becomes the beautiful scenery before your eyes, the inner peace and satisfaction are beyond words. No wonder Xu Xiake visited Tiantai three times; the natural wonders of Tiantai are like the work of gods, full of surprises! A lineage of Tiantai mountains and waters, half of China's complete Tang poetry.

Mount Tiantai, a severely underestimated cultural and scenic mountain. When it comes to famous mountains in China, everyone is familiar with the 'Five Mountains' and 'Three Mountains'. Mount Tiantai, for most people, is unknown. However, it has a brilliant culture and beautiful scenery, and is known as the 'source of Buddhism and Taoism, and the beauty of mountains and rivers'. It is the birthplace of Tiantai Buddhism and Southern Taoism in China, the hometown of Jigong Living Buddha, and the dojo of the Five Hundred Arhats.

In the verdant valleys of Mount Tiantai, a stone spans the sky, and the waterfall gushes down, 'winds and thunder rise day and night', one has to marvel at the wonders of nature. The flow of the Tiantai Mountain Waterfall has been criticized for being artificially controlled, but here, the waterfall is naturally formed, and it shines with the surrounding temples, giving people a sense of being in a painting.

The temple is surrounded by mountains and accompanied by the sound of waterfalls, making it a good place for self-cultivation. As a tourist, you can also experience the beauty of the mountains and rivers and the tranquility of the temple.

The Shiliang Waterfall in Tiantai Mountain is not more spectacular than other waterfalls, but it has its own unique features. The Shiliang Waterfall is divided into two entrances and exits, most of which are entrances to the scenic area, and the upper exit is out of the scenic area. The bus goes back and forth between the two exits, so the self-driving tourists don't have to worry about stopping the car at the next entrance without going back. The entrance enters the scenic spot, the terrain is relatively flat, and the small copper pot waterfall all the way down. After the Shiliangfei Waterfall, it is necessary to climb up the mountain and it is not difficult. The scenic spot is basically finished in one hour. If it is slow, then it is slow. It takes 2 hours to complete the tour.
