Visiting Taizhou in early winter was a stroke of luck! The weather was perfect, with blue skies, white clouds, and autumn leaves in shades of red and yellow falling in the breeze. It was simply beautiful. Taizhou gave me a sense of comfort, as if life had slowed down, making it an ideal place to relax. Let's talk about Taizhou's morning tea, which is a must-try! The dried tofu, fish soup noodles, and crab meat buns were all delicious. The dried tofu was especially tender and flavorful, making it a satisfying treat. The fish soup noodles had a rich broth that was invigorating with every sip. The crab meat buns were bursting with the aroma of crab roe, making them incredibly tasty. Strolling along the Fengcheng River, I was captivated by the beauty of Taizhou's autumn. The river was calm, and the red and yellow leaves danced in the wind, creating a serene atmosphere with only the sound of rustling leaves. As I walked, I discovered some old street attractions, which exuded a strong sense of history, as if every corner had a story to tell. I visited the museum, which appeared ordinary from the outside, but the exhibits inside were truly impressive. The second floor had a section that opened my eyes to Taizhou's history, including the story of King Wu boiling seawater for salt and the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms. It was a testament to history. In addition to these, there were street snacks and a vibrant atmosphere. While wandering the old streets, I stumbled upon a music competition. The young performers sang with such energy that it instantly lifted my spirits. I then visited the Plum Garden, which has a deep connection to Peking Opera and Mei Lanfang. Listening to the stories of Peking Opera there felt special. Overall, Taizhou left me with the impression of a quiet and comfortable place. It lacks the hustle and bustle of big cities, with a slower pace of life, making it perfect for leisure. The local cuisine, history, and culture are all fascinating, making it a place worth visiting again and again!

Can't stay at home during the holiday, so I chose Taizhou, which is not far from Nanjing. 🚘It took more than an hour to drive there, and the highway is 🆓 during the holiday, which is really nice! It's like a reverse tourism, there are not many people in Taizhou, and the road is smooth🚙 🕛Arrived at noon, just in time for brunch. 🏮Huibin Building, open during the Spring Festival, and it's easy to park nearby. ✔️Signature crab roe bun, 30💰 each, big size, full of crab roe inside, not fishy, tastes quite fragrant, the bun skin is also sweet, it's indeed a local specialty. ✔️The fresh shrimp dumplings are also very fragrant, the meat filling is firm, there are shrimp inside, the soup is fresh and sweet, tastes good～ ✔️Rice straw bun is also quite special, it has a refreshing taste when you eat it. Also ordered hot dry silk, beef bun, thousand layer cake, shumai, fish slice wonton, they all taste okay, just over intake of carbohydrates😂 🕜After eating, walk for 20 minutes to the Plum Garden, visit Mr. Mei Lanfang's house, no need for tickets, just make a reservation by scanning the code. The garden is not big, but it's quite exquisite, has the atmosphere of Jiangnan garden, there is also an introduction of Mr. Mei Lanfang, it's good to bring children to see. 🕝After visiting the Plum Garden, cross a bridge and you are at Taizhou Old Street. To be honest, the old streets everywhere are quite similar, just some snacks and toys. Had a lotus root starch ball, it tastes okay～ ⛲️Taizhou is not big, there are also morning tea museum, peach garden near the old street, but we were a bit tired, so we went back to Nanjing. 🌆No plan for a long trip, a day trip city walk is quite relaxing, change a city, eat some delicious food, walk around, see different scenery～
