Travelogue Content: Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area in Taizhou, an impromptu 'celestial' trip!
Dear friends, today I'm going to take you to a place filled with celestial vibes—Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area in Taizhou! Not only does it boast scenic beauty, but it also has a rich cultural charm that will make you linger and forget to return!
1. Setting off, heading to Tiantai Mountain!
On a sunny weekend, with a longing for nature, I embarked on a journey to Tiantai Mountain. Along the way, my mood became as bright as the scenery outside the car window. Arriving at the scenic area in the morning, the sunlight sprinkled across the mountains, making everything look so beautiful.
2. First stop, exploring the Qiongtai Fairy Valley!
Our first stop was the Qiongtai Fairy Valley. Here, the peaks are stacked, and the rocks are rugged, as if they are masterpieces meticulously carved by nature. Walking north along Lingxi, with mountain walls on both sides, the peaks are varied and dazzling. The most unforgettable for me was the 'Li Bai Poetry Rock.' Standing there, I could almost feel the poet's lofty aspirations and bold ambitions.
3. Lunch, tasting the delicacies of Tiantai!
After half a day of fun, my stomach started growling. Fortunately, there were many snack stalls in the scenic area. I ordered a Tiantai specialty wheat cake and a bowl of steaming tofu pudding, both delicious and affordable. After eating and drinking, we continued our journey.
4. Shiliang Waterfall, a spectacle of water and rocks!
In the afternoon, we arrived at the Shiliang Waterfall scenic spot. This place combines the wonders of nature from all over the world and is the essence of the 'Tang Poetry Road' in eastern Zhejiang. Standing on the Shiliang Bridge, I saw a rock spanning the sky, with the waterfall gushing down, creating thousands of splashes, like piled snow and scattered pearls, never ceasing all year round. I was deeply shocked by this spectacular sight, as if I was in a fairyland on earth.
5. Guoqing Temple, where history and faith converge!
Leaving the Shiliang Waterfall, we came to Guoqing Temple. This ancient temple, which was built during the Sui and Tang dynasties, has a history of more than 1,400 years. As the birthplace of the Tiantai sect in China, it attracts countless believers to come and worship. Walking in the temple, feeling the weight of history and the power of faith, purifies the soul.
6. Huading Forest Park, a natural oxygen bar!
Our last stop was Huading Forest Park. With an altitude of 1098 meters, the air is fresh and pleasant, making it a natural oxygen bar. We climbed up the mountain road, enjoying the scenery along the way. When we reached the top, a three-hundred-acre primitive rhododendron forest with a hundred years of tree age came into view, and the sea of flowers, as splendid as clouds, intoxicated us.
7. Return journey, returning home full!
As the afterglow of the sunset gradually faded, we ended this pleasant journey. Back home, I was still immersed in the beauty of Tiantai Mountain and couldn't extricate myself. This trip not only allowed me to appreciate the natural wonders and the profound cultural heritage but also brought me full of happiness and memories.
