The environment is very quiet, about 6 kilometers in the whole journey, the 198 steps of Range Rover Gate are the most tired place. The Great Wall in the rain is very quiet, that is, the ticket price is slightly high during the day, and there is no one at the gate after 6 o'clock in the evening, and many people go in for free.
From the 98 steps of Range Rover Gate to the Xingshan Gate, it took more than 2 hours to stop and rest. Xingshan Gate came down to visit Ziyang Street and felt the charm of the ancient street in the crowd. A beautiful day was perfect!
Taizhou Fucheng Cultural Tourism Zone is located in the ancient city of Linhai, with a total area of 3.12 square kilometers, including Taizhou Fucheng Wall, Ziyang Ancient Street, East Lake, Jinshan and other attractions. Tang Wude was in Taizhou for four years, and since then, Taizhou's state, road and government offices have been in the sea. Linhai has the reputation of "Xiaoyulu" and "Culture State".

Taizhou Fu Great Wall has four regular entrances and exits: Xingshanmen, Chaotianmen, Chenghuang Temple and Range Rover Gate. Personally, I think the best section to go is Chaotianmen to Chenghuang Temple. No matter the slope of the opposite direction, it is suitable. There are some S-types and undulatings, and there are green trees and flowers. It is not tired to walk. The Chenghuang Temple to Range Rover Gate section is too steep, Chaotianmen to Xingshanmen are all flat roads, and the scenery is also general.
The first time in Jin Dynasty, after more than 1,600 years of change, constantly build the "Jiangnan Great Wall" - Taizhou ancient city wall, through the Ming Dynasty, remember General Qi Jiguang in Linhai for eight years, fight the nine wars and nine Jie! In the middle section of Ziyang Ancient Street under the ancient city wall, there is a two-story wooden courtyard house - No. 249 Ziyang Street, the former site of the Taizhou Sub-branch of the People's Bank of China, the earliest bank in the sea during the Republic of China, with a strong color of the times.
