🌟 Attractions
1️⃣Changyu Dongtian⛰️
This is a severely underrated attraction. Since ancient times, it has been a quarry, and after being hollowed out, the interior is full of various shapes, truly a work of man that seems naturally formed. There are giant grotto Buddha statues, displays of the history of quarrying, and adorable giant pandas. You can also enjoy boating, water play, and the pleasure of cooling off in the summer.
2️⃣Xiaoruo Village🌈
Known as the 'Chinese version of Italy's Cinque Terre', it once won the title of China's most beautiful fishing village. The ancient colorful stone houses, rainbow stairs, and the harbor filled with boats⛵️, and from the top of Qilin Mountain opposite, you can watch the stunning sunset.
3️⃣Duijie Viewing Platform💍
Known as the Eastern Cape of Good Hope👀 Be sure to choose a sunny day to visit, when the azure sea is intoxicating. The huge double-ring-shaped viewing platform, named 'Duijie Viewing Platform' because of its shape like a pair of rings, is dazzling with golden light at sunset, and romantically beautiful when lit up at night. Facing the sea from the mountain, it is an excellent place for couples to stroll.
4️⃣Sansuan Island🏖️
An isolated island paradise, with ancient stone houses, azure sky trenches, giant rocks, and black sand beaches like those in Iceland. This is a very special and niche attraction, where you can experience the island scenery of Iceland without leaving the country!
5️⃣Jinsha Beach/Shuitongdai Beach
Choose one of the two; I went to Jinsha Beach, which is closer to my accommodation. Shuitongdai Beach is known as the 'Mount Fuji on the sea'. Go to Jinsha Beach early, or the sun will soon be gone.
6️⃣Ziyang Street
A characteristic old street with many ancient buildings, suitable for eating and strolling. The Taizhou Prefecture City Wall is nearby. Find a favorite small shop, taste some snacks, rest for a while, very comfortable.
🍜Food
Recommended: Qian Cake (cheaper and delicious outside the scenic area), Qing Cake is very authentic, Shanfenyuan is similar to sweet glutinous rice balls, Pao Shrimp is average. The locally recommended (Zhangyuan Cooking) has delicious eel soup, fried glutinous rice with eggs, and noodle knot soup are all good.
🏠Accommodation
Recommended to stay in Shitang Town, where attractions are concentrated, accommodation options are abundant, covering different price ranges, a variety of design styles, and by the mountains and water, you can always find something to your liking. The homestay I chose was very quiet, with a full atmosphere of lawn, floor-to-ceiling windows that can be opened, and the Duijie Viewing Platform can be seen from the room.

Wenling, Zhejiang, by the seaside, step into poetry and the distance, take a break for your mood
They say travel is from a place where you're tired of being to a place where others are tired of being. Nowadays, people's attitudes towards travel are evolving, not satisfied with just passing through in a cursory manner, nor limited to famous mountains and rivers or well-known scenic spots. Finding a comfortable place to stay for a few days, to live a different life, is also to change a mood, to give a vacation to the body and mind.
Wenling, Zhejiang has such places, find a homestay nestled between mountains and sea, with the sea breeze, the sea view, the seafood, experiencing the slow life of a seaside village. Isn't this the poetry and distance you yearn for?
The clear morning with the sunrise over the sea, the time at noon, the lazy afternoon, the pleasant dusk, the peaceful night... In the slowly passing time, release the tension and anxiety, completely heal the restless mood.
Pick up the camera, record what you see, collect the fragments of the holiday life, leave the memories to the future self. Perhaps, this is what life should really be like.

Recommended Itinerary
Wenling: Shitang Peninsula Resort - Xiaoruo Village
Linhai: Taizhou Prefecture City (Donghu - Jiangnan Great Wall - Longxing Temple - Ziyang Street)
Tiantai: Guoqing Temple - Shiliang Scenic Area (Gufangguang Temple - Shiliang Waterfall)
Specific Attraction Introduction
Shitang Peninsula Resort
Here, you'll see houses built of stone as far as the eye can see, and any homestay you choose feels like living in an anime. Recommended spots include the Couple's Ring Viewing Platform, the Coastal Greenway, and Jinsha Beach, fulfilling all your imaginations of the sea.
Xiaoruo Village
Dreamy colorful houses, known as the 'Zhejiang version of Cinque Terre'. Go to the viewing platform on the mountain top at sunset, and you can see the panoramic view of Xiaoruo Village + sunset + fishing boats. Navigate to 'Tianhou Palace', and follow the path up the mountain for 15min to get there.
Taizhou Prefecture City (Donghu - Jiangnan Great Wall - Longxing Temple - Ziyang Street)
The spots are all close to each other, the Jiangnan Great Wall requires a ticket, enter from Donghu's Lansheng Gate, circle around to exit at Xingshan Gate on Ziyang Ancient Street, where you can see a panoramic view of Ziyang Ancient Street from the city wall, and Longxing Temple is right next to Xingshan Gate, well worth a visit.
Guoqing Temple
'If the temple is established, the nation will be pure,' hailed as one of the 'Four Wonders of Chinese Temples'. With a history of over 1400 years, it's a rare 5A scenic spot with no admission fee. I would call it the most beautiful temple, with mottled light and shadow casting on the yellow walls making for great photos.
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
