Inspired by a photo, I decided to go on a whim! I came across a picture of the Ruyi Bridge in Taizhou Shenxianju, a glass bridge shrouded in clouds and mist, seemingly suspended in mid-air. I was instantly captivated! After some research, I discovered Taizhou not only boasts mountains and seas, but is also a paradise for soft and chewy delicacies. I immediately grabbed my friends, booked tickets, and set off! Day 1: A Day of Exploring Natural Wonders 📍 Tiantai Mountain Grand Waterfall The "Grandest Waterfall in China" lives up to its name! Standing on the viewing platform, the mist sprays your face, and rainbows appear and disappear. Wearing a *hanfu* here makes for stunning photos (non-slip shoes recommended). After descending the mountain, I stopped by the former residence of Ji Gong and listened to the fascinating stories of the Living Buddha. 📍 Guoqing Temple A Sui Dynasty temple with a 1,400-year history, it's bustling with worshippers yet tranquil. The temple grounds are filled with ancient trees, and the vegetarian meal is only ¥5 for all you can eat, adding to the Zen-like atmosphere. Photo tip: The temple's yellow walls + rice paddies make for perfect ancient-style photos! Day 2: Shenxianju + Xiaoruo Village 📍 Shenxianju The Nantian Peak glass viewing platform offers a panoramic view of the surrounding peaks, and the Ruyi Bridge stretches across the valley like a jade *ruyi*. Adventurous friends can challenge themselves on the high-altitude rope bridge! I recommend taking the cable car up the mountain to save energy and walking down the cliffside plank road. The whole trip takes about 4 hours. 📍 Wenling Xiaoruo Village In the evening, I rushed to the "Chinese Cinque Terre"! Colorful houses + sunset fishing boats, add a creamy filter, and the photos are divine! Stay at a nearby B&B and wake up early to watch the first rays of sunlight hit the sea at Millennium Dawn Park. It's incredibly romantic! Day 3: Slow Living in the Ancient City 📍 Taizhou Fu City Wall (Jiangnan Great Wall) Even more beautiful than the Great Wall of Beijing! Climb the 198 steps from Lansheng Gate to the top for a panoramic view of Linhai. The ¥70 combined ticket includes East Lake, where the Jiangnan gardens and the reflection of the ancient pagoda make for stunning photos in a *qipao*! 📍 Ziyang Old Street A paradise for lovers of soft and chewy treats! Seaweed cakes, egg white sheep tails, *wufan machi*... ¥10 will get you more than enough to eat! I recommend the time-honored brand "Wang Tianshun" for freshly baked, crispy, and fragrant cakes. Tips: 1️⃣ Transportation: 2-hour direct high-speed train from Shanghai/Hangzhou. Carpooling or renting a car is recommended for traveling between attractions. 2️⃣ Accommodation: B&Bs near Ziyang Street in Linhai are highly recommended, averaging ¥150/night. 3️⃣ Things to avoid: Changyu Dongtian is quite far, so you can skip it if time is tight. Be sure to ask about prices before ordering at seafood restaurants! Taizhou, a city of "mountains, seas, and cityscapes," is truly worthwhile! Whether you're an introvert enjoying the scenery alone or an extrovert having fun with friends, you can find your own sense of relaxation here.

It follows the contours of the mountain, overlooking the river, and is especially steep in the north.

Taizhou Linhai Mountain and Autumn B&B Linggen Village, Dongcheng Town, Linhai, Zhejiang Located at No. 3-33, Qiansizhuang, Linggen Village, Dongcheng Town, Linhai, Taizhou, this B&B is surrounded by 16 acres of mountain wilderness and is only a 20-minute drive from Ziyang Street, Jiangnan Great Wall, and other attractions. It is a perfect place to escape the world and explore the ancient city. After 3 years of construction, the B&B was built with the concept of "natural symbiosis" in mind. It was built with local materials such as stone, wood, and tiles, and decorated with dark straw paint and light wood, creating a rustic yet gentle wabi-sabi style. The dark-toned public living room creates a sense of "escape from the city," while the long windows offer views of the terraced fields, cherry blossoms, and camellia forest, creating a dynamic picture of the four seasons. The minimalist design of wood floors and white walls, combined with custom furniture, creates a high-quality feel! The rooms are equipped with high-star bedding and toiletries. Some rooms even have bathtubs, either by the window with a view of the mountains or hidden in the courtyard, allowing you to breathe with nature while bathing. The restaurant faces the terraced fields, and the chef buys fresh local produce every day. In spring, you can taste fresh bamboo shoots and river fish, and in autumn, you can enjoy crabs and mushrooms. Taizhou's small seafood is cooked in a "home-cooked" style to lock in the original flavor, while creative dishes subvert tradition. Afternoon tea is also not to be missed, as you can enjoy tea and spring under the cherry blossom trees, as if you were transported to the Tang and Song dynasties.

In the small coastal town in the first month of the year, the sky is slightly gloomy with occasional drizzles. This was once the seat of Taizhou Prefecture, and the city walls, ancient neighborhoods and folk culture are relatively well preserved. Although it is still chilly in spring, there is still a huge crowd of people. The tour starts from Chonghemen Square. The eastern section of Taizhou city wall has been basically demolished. Passing through Chonghemen from east to west into the ancient city, you first come to Taizhou Confucian Temple to pay homage to the eternal teacher, and then stroll south along Ziyang Ancient Street. The residential buildings on Ziyang Street have some old-time charm. Although there are many shops in the street market, the degree of commercialization is not too high. The small shops on both sides mainly sell local snacks such as seaweed cakes, egg white lamb tails, plum cakes, pickled shrimps, etc. The former site of the People's Bank of China and the Zhu Ziqing Memorial Hall are also worth a visit. At the end of Ziyang Street is Xingshang Gate, near which are attractions such as Longxing Temple, Tianning Temple and Jinshan Park. After a quick tour, you can climb up the Taizhou City Wall from Xingshang Gate and start your journey to the Jiangnan Great Wall. The city wall from Xingshangmen to Chaotianmen is relatively flat, and is mainly used to enjoy the view of Lingjiang River, and the scenery is also relatively plain; from Chaotianmen to Lanshengmen, the city wall is built against the mountain and beside the water, with ups and downs, and winding. Enemy towers one to eight are connected one after another, and the city wall forms such as urn city, horse-faced castle, and artillery platform are all available. In the plum garden, plum blossoms of various varieties such as Gulihong, Gongfen, Zhusha, Fandie and Canxue are in full bloom, with refreshing fragrance. Together with the city wall, they form a beautiful spring picture. The city wall from Xingshang Gate to Lansheng Gate is about 4 kilometers long. It takes about three hours to walk along the way, stopping frequently. Looking down from the highest point, Baiyun Tower, you can have a panoramic view of Linhai City. The beautiful East Lake, which is like a Jiangnan water town, is also right in front of you. There is also a statue of national hero Qi Jiguang under the Lansheng Gate Tower. If you go in the opposite direction, from Lansheng Gate to Baiyun Tower, you will need to climb hundreds of steps in a row, and the slope is quite steep, so the elderly, young and weak should be careful. The Jiangnan Great Wall is worthy of its reputation as the majestic tower in the southeast.

Come to Taizhou Linhai on the first day of the Spring Festival holiday to avoid the crowds in the first month of the year. This time I visited all the old streets of the city. By the end, I was exhausted when I reached the most prosperous part of Ziyang Street. You should read the guide and don’t be so casual as me. I walked until I was exhausted. Taizhou City Wall Ticket: 55 yuan/person. It is the wall of Taizhou Prefecture facing the sea, known as the Great Wall of Jiangnan and Badaling of Jiangnan. Taizhou City has a long history, dating back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is 6,280 meters long, with more than 5,000 meters of existing city walls, which have basically retained their original appearance. Like the Great Wall of Jiangnan, the city walls of Taizhou Prefecture have their own characteristics, including city gates, towers, horse heads, enemy towers, urn cities, moats, etc. Ziyang Old Street: 💰Free admission When you come to Linhai, you must come here to check in, eat and drink. There are delicious foods here that you will never get tired of, such as green grass paste, egg white lamb tail, embedded cake, pickled shrimp, small intestine rolls, and various glutinous foods. There are also quaint bluestone roads and Chinese-style buildings that look thousands of years old. There are also many local residents living here, giving it an unparalleled atmosphere of life that is unparalleled elsewhere.

Taizhou Linhai Day Tour Unlock Taizhou Linhai: I originally drove to Yongquan to buy honey tangerines, but they ripened half a month late this year, so I changed my route to a scenic spot I saw on the highway: Taizhou Prefecture City. I read the online introduction, a 5A-level historical and cultural city, hey, I like it. We went to Taizhou Prefecture City Wall and Ziyang Street, and looked at Donghu from afar. At the "Great Wall of Jiangnan," we chose a relatively strenuous route, going up Langsheng Gate and down Xingshan Gate, totaling 4.7 km, walking and stopping for 1 hour and 49 minutes. The city wall was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, expanded in several dynasties, and is well preserved. There are 6 enemy towers, multiple city gates, the calligraphy of Emperor Yongzheng, a Sui camphor tree, sika deer, a quiet City God Temple, lush green trees, the Wangtian Altar where Fang Guozhen worshiped the heavens and proclaimed himself king, and the Wengcheng defense facility... The Ming and Qing buildings in the city can be seen along the way. Thinking of the fierce battles of the past, I can't help but feel emotional. It wasn't easy for our country to develop to where it is today. We live in a prosperous time and should cherish it! Ziyang Street has a strong commercial atmosphere, and we returned home after visiting one-tenth of it.

The Jiangnan Ancient Great Wall is located in Linhai, Taizhou. It is said that the Great Wall of Beijing was also built with reference to this. The Jiangnan Great Wall was built by national heroes Qi Jiguang and Tan Lun to resist foreign enemies. It fully reflects the wisdom and tenacity of the Chinese people at that time. The most outstanding feature is the invention of the double-layer hollow enemy tower. We went up the mountain from Lansheng Gate early in the morning (it is said that this is a route that is bitter at first but sweet later). It is difficult to climb the 198 steps in one breath. There are two platforms for rest on the way, and there are gentle slopes on the left and right sides of the platform to reach Lansheng Gate. There is an iron chain handrail in the middle of the steps. People who are afraid of heights should never look back, or their legs will become weak. It takes about 2 hours to walk from Lansheng Gate to Xingshang Gate. The first section of the Great Wall has ups and downs, which requires some physical strength. The second section is relatively flat, but there are not as many attractions as the first section. There are also several city gates along the way that you can go up and down. The city wall can be entered for free from Xingshang Gate after 6pm, and there is a short section that can be visited for free. Mainly, you can see the night view of Ziyang Street. If you pass through the toll gate at the Range Rover Gate before 7am, you can walk the entire section of the Great Wall for free.

Walk along the city wall to the No. 1 enemy tower, feeling the wisdom of the ancients and the weight of history. Then pass by Chaotian Gate and descend from Xingshan Gate.

It is recommended to reserve two days: take the high-speed train on the first day and stay overnight near the south gate of Donghu. The prices here are affordable. I booked a single room with air conditioning and bathroom for two nights online, costing seventy yuan per night. On the second day, you can walk a few hundred meters to reach the south gate of Donghu.

Zhejiang Taizhou, at the entrance of Linhai Donghu Park, there is now a more than ten-meter-wide "big picture frame" that frames the beautiful scenery of Linhai Donghu and the Jiangnan Great Wall. From a distance, it looks like a natural postcard. This installation is inspired by the artist Guo Xi's work "Endless Cinema", framing this beautiful scenery, adding subtitles and sound, creating a personalized "painting" of Linhai Donghu that has surprised many tourists. Linhai Donghu was excavated in the Song Dynasty and is a typical classical garden park, with pavilions, water pavilions, corridors, rockeries, and stone bridges. Below, we will appreciate it from two perspectives. The first perspective is an aerial view, highlighting the panoramic view of Linhai Donghu. It can be seen that Donghu has a long strip layout, with the pavilion in the center of the lake as the focal point. The second perspective is a walking view, highlighting that you can stroll among the garden buildings such as pavilions and towers, appreciating the beauty of each individual building, and you can also capture the spring flowers and the poetic scene of "the ducks know the warmth of the spring river first".
