Yandang Mountain is not the type to be stunning at first glance. Its beauty lies in the silhouettes of its peaks that change with the day and night. The scenery is indeed unique, but the management is really not worthy of the title of "the number one mountain in Southeast China". If you can avoid the crowds, it is a treasure.
It truly lives up to its reputation as one of the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Peaks; the scenery is breathtaking, with rounded mountains and refreshing streams. I went during the National Day holiday, and aside from the sun, there were no other problems. My time wasn't planned well this time; I only visited Fangdong and Lingyan, which will hopefully give me something to look forward to next time!

The Bai Zhang Ji Waterfall is breathtaking! The towering waterfall plunges into a deep pool, creating a misty spray that blankets the mountains, and the trails offer a refreshing coolness. On sunny days, you can even see rainbows, and against the backdrop of green mountains, every snapshot is a masterpiece.
Baizhangji truly lives up to its title as "China's tallest waterfall." The three-tiered waterfall is magnificent, the Water Curtain Cave is full of fun, and the ancient pavilions nestled in the mountains exude a tranquil atmosphere, making it a great place to get close to nature.

We took a 5-yuan super shortwave taxi to get in, then walked a bit and took another 20-yuan bus to the halfway point. The climb was truly tiring. ~ We only took a few photos at the top. The Hand of God and the slide were completely deserted and dilapidated. The best part was just a short walk down the mountain!
The scenery was beautiful, but once we got to the top, we realized the waterfall was man-made... Just walk around; I don't recommend hiking.
Lishui Ancient Street is a beautiful ancient street. Strolling along, enjoying a cup of tea and a wheat cake is truly enjoyable. The cobblestone pavement stretches over 300 meters, and lanterns draped along the corridors create a beautiful landscape alongside towering, century-old trees.

Nanji Islands: One of the ten most beautiful islands in China, the island ecology is pristine and pure, the sand is soft and golden, and the secret blue hole hides clear water. It is suitable for travelers who pursue niche and in-depth ocean experiences. However, transportation to the island is greatly affected by the weather, so advance planning is required.
During the summer vacation, I came to the beautiful Nanji Island. It was an unforgettable seaside trip.
In the early morning, we boarded the island by boat. The sea breeze blew gently, with a salty taste, which made people feel relaxed and happy. When I stepped on Nanji Island, there was a blue sea in front of me, and the waves gently hit the beach, making a pleasant sound. The sand on the beach is delicate and soft, and it feels soft when I step on it, as if it is a natural carpet given by nature.
Walking along the coastline, I saw reefs of various shapes. They became smooth and shiny under the scouring of sea water. Some reefs are like a sleeping giant beast, and some are like a small castle, standing on the seashore, guarding this quiet sea area.
The most exciting thing is swimming at the seaside. I can't wait to put on my swimsuit and dive into the cool sea water. The sea water gently embraced me, and I played in the water to my heart's content, feeling the gentleness and power of the sea. In the distance, several small boats were sailing slowly on the sea, and seagulls were flying freely in the sky, forming a beautiful picture.
Nanji Island is not only picturesque, but also has rich seafood delicacies. In the evening, we tasted fresh sea fish, crabs and shellfish in the restaurant by the sea. The delicious taste still makes me linger.
This trip to Nanji Island made me feel the charm of the sea and the beauty of nature. I look forward to coming again next time to continue exploring this beautiful island.

A stunning hidden gem! We spent half an hour driving along the mountain roads of Dongtou, Wenzhou, just to see this sea and the "Gate of Heaven"—but the moment we saw the sunset, it was all worth it! 🤩
📸The "Gate of Heaven" atop the mountain is absolutely stunning! The slate-gray stone tower frames the azure sea and sky💙, and the moment you step onto the mirrored platform, it feels like you're in Bali!
🌅Even more breathtaking is the sunset in the evening! The moment we climbed to the observation deck, the dreamy blue sea gradually turned orange-red, the sun slowly sank below the horizon, the clouds shimmered with golden light, and the sea breeze caressed our faces. It made all the fatigue worth it!
⚠️ Travel Tips:
🚗 Road Conditions: The mountain road is winding and steep, so novice drivers should proceed with caution. It's safer to travel on a sunny day.
👗 Style Tip: Wear light colors for photos at the "Gate of Heaven" (Sky Gate). The best lighting is between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM. 📸
⌛ Golden Time: To see stunning sunrises and sunsets, check the tide chart (we recommend using the "Dongtou Tide" app). It's best to arrive at least an hour early.
🎥 Movie Location: The wooden plank path down the mountain is also stunning! Stroll along the coastline, stopping and wandering, every snap will be a masterpiece.

This is an island in the Oujiang River, integrating history, culture and natural scenery. It has the East and West Towers, Jiangxin Temple, the British Consulate... as well as the Song Garden, lakes, small bridges and flowing water... It also has convenient transportation and is very cost-effective. I recommend everyone to come!
Jiangxin Island is a National 4A Scenic Area. Smaller than Xiamen's Gulangyu, it's a mid-river island in the Oujiang River, long from east to west and narrow from north to south. Access is by boat. The island offers beautiful scenery, fresh air, and numerous small attractions, making it a worthwhile visit.

The Impression Nantang Night Cruise was fantastic. The one-hour boat ride featured several performances, plays, and stunning coastal scenery. The singing, dancing, and lights were all breathtaking. I highly recommend it. The open-top boat experience was even better than the pleasure boat. Watching the moon rise in the sky, the gentle breeze blowing, it was a feast for the senses and a feast for the senses.
The daytime is not as lively as the night time, and there are fewer tourists, so it feels more comfortable. Take a leisurely walk along the lake, and you can appreciate the scenery on both sides of the river. Although there are fewer nighttime landscape lights, there is a more leisurely atmosphere.

🌞 I'm in Wenzhou!
With no plans, I just casually wandered around and stumbled upon the famous Wuma Street.
It's a bit like the bustling Nanjing Road in Shanghai, but a bit more gentle and slower.
🏛️ The buildings lining the street are Baroque-style buildings from the Republican era. The sunlight dappled the facades, creating a beautiful, mottled effect.
While walking, I came across the magnificent bronze statue of "Five Galloping Horses." It was truly breathtaking!✨
There's also the First Department Store and century-old shops—it's like you can smell the scent of bygone times.
📍 Address: Wuma Street, Lucheng District, Wenzhou (between Jiefang Street and Fuqian Street)
⏰ Hours: Open all day, feel free to stroll around.
🪶 Fun Fact: Wuma Street got its name from the fact that when Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty traveled, the street was wide enough to accommodate five horses galloping side by side. Isn't that quite poetic?
⸻
🐎 1️⃣ Five Galloping Horses Bronze Statue
The bronze horses looked particularly imposing in the sunlight, and many people stopped to take photos. On a clear day, the light and shadows on the horses made them look like they were galloping, so dynamic!
🏮 2️⃣ Chan Street Archway
The archway of the New Guoguang Building is easily recognizable from afar.
Further in, you can see the Jingguang Pagoda on Songtai Mountain.
I happened to be there during sunset, and the warm light was incredibly beautiful. 📸
🏛️ 3️⃣ Baroque Buildings
Every corner offers a great photo opportunity.
The Republican-era-style exterior walls glow golden in the sunlight during the day and warm in the light at night.
Wherever you walk by, you'll feel like you've traveled back in time.
🎭 4️⃣ Ancient Theater
The bluestone pavement, carved stone figures, and the archway across the street are all incredibly exquisite. The ancient stage and modern architecture juxtaposed side by side create a wonderful contrast, a truly Wenzhou-inspired experience.
⸻
🚶♀ I didn't take the train~
I preferred to walk slowly, take photos, and enjoy snacks.
No rush, no set route.
Just let my feet take me wherever I want to go.💭
Wuma Street is a famous commercial street in Wenzhou. It starts from Jiefang South Road in the east and connects to Chan Street in the west. It retains the original architectural style that combines Chinese and Western styles. There are all kinds of shops along the street. The great calligrapher Wang Xizhi was a military punctualist. He often drove a carriage with five horses running side by side, which is why Wuma Street got its name. So when you come to Wuma Street, you must check in at the bronze statue of five horses galloping. Wuma Street is also a place often visited by Wenzhou students.

Overall it's OK. It's a good place for children to escape the heat in the summer. You can walk around more. If you come here specifically to play, you may be disappointed compared to other aquariums. It's OK to check in for tourism. I plan to visit more.
It was a very good parent-child trip. The children were also very happy. The introduction and the interaction with the mermaid show are particularly worthy of praise. The children liked it very much. The sea lion show is also worth watching. Finally, I would like to thank the staff in the museum for their enthusiastic service!
