Hi~ I'm Xiao Xu~ Just returned from Tiantai Mountain, and the withdrawal symptoms are too strong! "One Tiantai Mountain holds half of the Tang poetry collection" Truly a fairyland praised by Xu Xiake, Li Bai, and other great masters. ✨✨✨ Tiantai Mountain 2-Day 1-Night Travel Guide Day 1: Tiantai Mountain Grand Waterfall ➡️ Tongbai Palace ➡️ Jigong’s Former Residence ➡️ Zhexi Old Street ➡️ Shifeng Lake Night Cruise Day 2: Guoqing Temple ➡️ Shiliang Waterfall ➡️ Huading Peak ➡️ Return Trip ⛰️ Tiantai Mountain Grand Waterfall: A spectacular waterfall where you can see rainbows on sunny days—highly scenic! 🎫 100 RMB 🏯 Tongbai Palace: The ancestral temple of the Southern Branch of the Quanzhen School, where Taoist priests cultivate immortality. Free vegetarian meals are available after 11:15 AM~ Surrounded by water on three sides, remember to climb high for a distant view—the best scenery is at the top! 🏯 Jigong’s Former Residence: It’s said the fortune-telling slips at Jigong Hall are especially accurate! Between ambition and work, I choose to pray! 🎫 30 RMB 🌉 Zhexi Old Street: Stroll through the night scenery, enjoy various snacks, and experience the lively atmosphere of Tiantai Mountain’s residents. 🚢 Shifeng Lake Night Cruise: Highly recommended! Beautiful! The night cruise on Shifeng Lake is a must, especially the water performances! 🎫 100 RMB ⛩️ Guoqing Temple: A free 5A-level scenic spot—highly recommended! A must-visit! It’s the ancestral temple of the Japanese Tendai sect of Buddhism. ⛰️ Shiliang Waterfall: A naturally formed waterfall, the area is more suited for hiking and stream exploration. Smaller in scale compared to Tiantai Mountain Grand Waterfall, but you can get closer to the waterfall and play in the water. 👍 What to Do: ▪ Guoqing Temple: A 1,400-year-old Sui Dynasty ancient temple, serene and rustic in the deep mountains, with a thousand-year-old Sui plum tree. If you visit in early spring and catch the buds blooming, it’s an extra treat. . ▪ Tiantai Mountain Grand Waterfall: China’s highest waterfall is no exaggeration. Looking up, it truly feels like "the Milky Way pouring from the heavens." Climbing the steps beside the waterfall is refreshing with the splashing water, but you might get wet—bring a raincoat if you mind. . ▪ Tiantai Mountain Poetry Road Digital Museum: A perfect blend of traditional culture and modern technology, filled with poetic beauty. Walk alongside ancient poets, retracing the poetic and culturally rich East Zhejiang Tang Poetry Road, and admire the beauty of Tiantai Mountain—visually stunning! . ▪ Shifeng Lake Night Cruise: Enjoy the summer night breeze, listen to the sounds across the lake, and watch the dance lights with soft music—a perfect end to the day. The unexpected delight of my Taizhou trip was the Shifeng Lake Night Cruise. Turns out, it’s the same team behind the "Meet Xishi" show I saw in Zhuji—no wonder the format felt familiar! After watching the promo at the entrance, I realized this team excels at night cruise planning. I’ll definitely return if they have more shows! Regular 🚢 100 RMB/person, VIP 🚢 130 RMB/person. VIP offers better views and snacks onboard—we chose VIP. Shifeng Lake is unique: after booking, you must call customer service to reserve seats (don’t forget!). They’ll help you pick (VIP seats are four to a table, facing each other, with similar views on both sides). Upon arrival, exchange tickets at the cruise visitor center near Zhexi Old Street, then arrive 15 minutes early at the dock in Shifeng Lake Park. The cruise lasts about 50 minutes, with performances on both shores showcasing Tiantai’s historical and cultural stories—Xu Xiake, Li Bai, the Twin Immortals of Harmony, Jianzhen, and more! The boat is air-conditioned, making it very comfortable!

Inspired by a photo, I decided to go on a whim! I came across a picture of the Ruyi Bridge in Taizhou Shenxianju, a glass bridge shrouded in clouds and mist, seemingly suspended in mid-air. I was instantly captivated! After some research, I discovered Taizhou not only boasts mountains and seas, but is also a paradise for soft and chewy delicacies. I immediately grabbed my friends, booked tickets, and set off! Day 1: A Day of Exploring Natural Wonders 📍 Tiantai Mountain Grand Waterfall The "Grandest Waterfall in China" lives up to its name! Standing on the viewing platform, the mist sprays your face, and rainbows appear and disappear. Wearing a *hanfu* here makes for stunning photos (non-slip shoes recommended). After descending the mountain, I stopped by the former residence of Ji Gong and listened to the fascinating stories of the Living Buddha. 📍 Guoqing Temple A Sui Dynasty temple with a 1,400-year history, it's bustling with worshippers yet tranquil. The temple grounds are filled with ancient trees, and the vegetarian meal is only ¥5 for all you can eat, adding to the Zen-like atmosphere. Photo tip: The temple's yellow walls + rice paddies make for perfect ancient-style photos! Day 2: Shenxianju + Xiaoruo Village 📍 Shenxianju The Nantian Peak glass viewing platform offers a panoramic view of the surrounding peaks, and the Ruyi Bridge stretches across the valley like a jade *ruyi*. Adventurous friends can challenge themselves on the high-altitude rope bridge! I recommend taking the cable car up the mountain to save energy and walking down the cliffside plank road. The whole trip takes about 4 hours. 📍 Wenling Xiaoruo Village In the evening, I rushed to the "Chinese Cinque Terre"! Colorful houses + sunset fishing boats, add a creamy filter, and the photos are divine! Stay at a nearby B&B and wake up early to watch the first rays of sunlight hit the sea at Millennium Dawn Park. It's incredibly romantic! Day 3: Slow Living in the Ancient City 📍 Taizhou Fu City Wall (Jiangnan Great Wall) Even more beautiful than the Great Wall of Beijing! Climb the 198 steps from Lansheng Gate to the top for a panoramic view of Linhai. The ¥70 combined ticket includes East Lake, where the Jiangnan gardens and the reflection of the ancient pagoda make for stunning photos in a *qipao*! 📍 Ziyang Old Street A paradise for lovers of soft and chewy treats! Seaweed cakes, egg white sheep tails, *wufan machi*... ¥10 will get you more than enough to eat! I recommend the time-honored brand "Wang Tianshun" for freshly baked, crispy, and fragrant cakes. Tips: 1️⃣ Transportation: 2-hour direct high-speed train from Shanghai/Hangzhou. Carpooling or renting a car is recommended for traveling between attractions. 2️⃣ Accommodation: B&Bs near Ziyang Street in Linhai are highly recommended, averaging ¥150/night. 3️⃣ Things to avoid: Changyu Dongtian is quite far, so you can skip it if time is tight. Be sure to ask about prices before ordering at seafood restaurants! Taizhou, a city of "mountains, seas, and cityscapes," is truly worthwhile! Whether you're an introvert enjoying the scenery alone or an extrovert having fun with friends, you can find your own sense of relaxation here.
