🌟 Attractions
1⃣Changyu Dongtian ⛰
This is a seriously underrated attraction! It has been a quarry since ancient times, and after being hollowed out, it presents a myriad of forms, truly 'man-made, yet as if created by nature'👏. There are giant grotto Buddha statues, a quarry history exhibition, cute giant pandas, and you can also go boating and play in the water, and find a cool retreat in summer, which is super awesome😜!
2⃣Colorful Xiaoruo Village 🌈
China's version of the 'Italian Cinque Terre', it was once rated as China's most beautiful fishing village🛖! Ancient colorful stone houses, rainbow stairs, harbors full of boats⛵, and from the top of Qilin Mountain opposite, you can enjoy a stunning sunset🌅!
3⃣Duijie Viewing Platform 💍
Known as the Eastern Cape of Good Hope👀, be sure to visit on a sunny day, when the azure sea is simply breathtaking! The huge pair of ring-shaped viewing platforms are named 'Duijie Viewing Platform' because they resemble a pair of rings. At sunset, the golden light sparkles✨, and at night when the lights are on, it is even more romantic and beautiful, with mountains and sea views, especially suitable for couples to take a leisurely stroll.
4⃣Sansuan Island 🏖
An isolated island paradise, with ancient stone houses, azure sky trenches, giant rocks, and black sand beaches just like those in Iceland, a super special and niche attraction, where you can experience the scenery of an Icelandic substitute island without going abroad!
5⃣Jinsha Beach/Shuitongdai Beach
Choose one of the two, I went to Jinsha Beach which was closer to my accommodation. Shuitongdai Beach is known as the 'Mount Fuji on the sea'! Go to Jinsha Beach early, otherwise, there will be no sunlight soon☀!
6⃣Ziyang Street
A characteristic old street with many ancient buildings, where you can eat and stroll around, with the Taizhou Prefecture City Wall right next door, suitable for finding a favorite small shop to eat some delicious snacks and take a good rest😃.
🍜Food
Recommendations: Qiangao (cheap and delicious outside the scenic area), Qinggao is very authentic, Shanfenyuan is like sweet dumplings, Paoxia is average, the local recommended (Zhangyuan Cooking) here has delicious eel soup, sesame mochi fried egg, and noodle knot soup are all good😋.
🏠Accommodation
Highly recommend staying in Shitang Town, where attractions are concentrated, with a wide range of accommodation options, different price points, various design styles, and mountain and water views, there is always one that suits you😎. The homestay I chose was very quiet, with a full atmosphere of the lawn, floor-to-ceiling windows that can be opened, and you can see the Duijie Viewing Platform from the room.
I originally wanted to go to Dachen Island, but unfortunately, the weather was bad when I got there and it was canceled😔. A 2 - 5 day itinerary in Taizhou is very good, day1 and day2 are must-visits, and the remaining three days can be freely chosen according to your own preferences, be sure to pay attention to sun protection, and you can rest at the homestay if it's too hot during the day!
Wenling Shitang Golden Beach is a good seaside. Unfortunately, the weather was not good when I came, and the cloudy day still affected the scenery. The beach here is named for its golden fine sand, which is fine and gentle, and is very suitable for family and friends to relax and entertain. Standing on the golden sand beach, you can overlook the coastal walking greenway on the other side, where the beautiful stone houses built on the mountain are connected, forming a beautiful coastal landscape. The sea breeze is light and the waves are flicking on the beach, making people feel extremely comfortable and relaxed. Although some tourists reflect that the small beach area of Golden Beach is small and there are some charging facilities, overall, this is still a good place for taking pictures and punching in, enjoying the sun and sea. Especially for tourists who like quiet and natural scenery, Golden Sands offers a quiet corner away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Shitang Shuguang Garden is located in the Millennium Sunshine Town known as "Painting Town" - Shitang, Wenling City, Zhejiang Province, with a blue sea embrace, beautiful scenery, mountains, sea, stone, landscape with the combination of natural work and artificial beauty of the characteristics known, known as "Oriental Paris Notre Dame".
Years ago, because I filmed our aircraft TV travel program "Ranger Means North", I have been to Shitang in Wenling. Now, there are already literary and light luxury homestays. Today, except for the wind, the other feelings are good. 😊 Facing the sea, spring flowers bloom, not only has the characteristics of the island, The taste of the ancient town is definitely worth a visit.
Shitang Town, which belongs to Wenling City, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, is located in the southeast of Wenling City, east, southeast, south of the East China Sea, west of the Ai Nianwan, north and Songmen Town border. Shitang Town is located on the peninsula of the East Sea, generally known as the Shitang Peninsula. It is the first dawn of the 21st century. There is now a Shuguang Garden. There are many beautiful fishing villages in the coastal sea, and the homestay industry is developed and is a resort.
Time 2022.9.15 Shitang is a hypothetical place to rest and rest, definitely worth a visit! The attractions have the right ring observation deck, golden beach, and coastal green roads in one place. Basically, one day or one afternoon is enough. The homestay group is also here; Xiaoyu Village is in the other direction, it is a small village that has painted the outer wall. If you like to take pictures, you can go and see it. The interval is about four or five kilometers.
Shanghai self-driving to Wenling Shitang, the scenery of the mountains and seas is not bad, even in winter. The traffic is a bit poor and the road is very narrow. It is difficult to turn around more cars. During the Spring Festival, many small shops are closed. Drones fly freely, the seaside is windy, and the big drones may be better. If you take a sunrise and sunset, it is best to plan the route in advance.
