Scenic spot name: Yandang Mountain
Location: Yueqing City, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province
Overall score: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
Recommendation index: ★★★★★ (very recommended)
I. Overall experience
Yandang Mountain is one of the top ten famous mountains in China, and it is worthy of its name! The peaks here are beautiful and steep, and the clouds and mists are like a fairyland. The waterfalls are cascading, the streams are gurgling, and the natural scenery is so beautiful that it makes people feel relaxed and happy. Whether you are a photography enthusiast or a hiking enthusiast, you can find "poetry and distance" here. The trail facilities in the scenic area are complete, and the tour routes are reasonable, which is suitable for family outings.
II. Highlight recommendation
1. Lingfeng Scenic Area (must be checked in!)
- Day view: There are many peaks, such as "Couple Peak" and "Rhinoceros Looking at the Moon", which are vivid and changeable from different angles.
- Night view: The peaks under the light seem to be given life, especially the "Scissor Peak" is more mysterious in the night. It is recommended to reserve time to watch the night view and experience it to the fullest!
- Transportation: There are sightseeing buses in the scenic area (20 yuan/person), but walking is also feasible and the distance is not far.
2. Lingyan Scenic Area
- Xiaolongqiu Waterfall: Although the water volume is not as large as that of Dalongqiu, it is small and exquisite, suitable for taking pictures.
- Fangdong Plank Road: The plank road on the cliff is thrilling and exciting, and it can overlook the mountains from a distance. It is an excellent viewing platform.
- Lingyan Temple: The ancient temple is hidden in the mountains, quiet and deep, suitable for a short rest.
3. Dalongqiu Scenic Area
- One of the four famous waterfalls in China: The waterfall cascades down from a cliff more than 300 meters high, with great momentum and water vapor, which is perfect for summer vacation.
- Best viewing time: The water volume is larger after rain, and it is recommended to go after rainy days.
3. Practical tips
- Tickets: Each scenic spot charges separately (about 50-80 yuan/person), and the combined ticket is more cost-effective (about 200 yuan/person). It is recommended to purchase in advance on the official website or Ctrip.
- Transportation:
- Wenzhou South Station → Yandangshan Railway Station (about 30 minutes by high-speed rail), then take a taxi to the scenic area (about 20 minutes).
- It is more convenient to drive by yourself, and there is a parking lot in the scenic area (about 10-20 yuan/time).
- Best time to visit:
- Spring (March-May): azaleas bloom, everything revives, suitable for hiking.
- Summer (June-August): The waterfall has abundant water, a summer resort.
- Autumn (September-November): Maple leaves gradually turn red, and the weather is cool.
- Precautions:
- Wear non-slip shoes when hiking and prepare rain gear (the weather in the mountains is changeable).
- Sunscreen and mosquito repellent in summer, some plank roads are steep, and the elderly and children need to be careful.
IV. Summary
Yandangshan is a treasure scenic spot with "one step, one scene", where nature and humanity are perfectly integrated. Although some scenic spots require transfers or walking, the scenery along the way is enough to offset fatigue. It is highly recommended to reserve 2-3 days for in-depth play, especially the night view of Lingfeng and Dalongqiu Waterfall, which are definitely worth seeing!
Tips: There are a lot of people in the peak season (holidays), so it is recommended to travel during off-peak hours for a better experience.
Yandang Mountain is undulating and stretches for hundreds of miles. The North Yandang is in Yueqing County, and the South Yandang is in Pingyang County. The Yandang Mountain Scenic Area usually refers to the North Yandang Mountain. The Yandang Mountain Scenic Area covers an area of 450 square kilometers. There are many caves and waterfalls in the scenic area. The beauty of the scenery is difficult to describe. The ancients said, "It is difficult to write about Longqiu, and it is useless to not visit Yandang."
Yandang Mountain has towering ancient trees and green shades. Looking up, the cliffs are steep and the streams on the roadside are gurgling. Moreover, the steps are gentle and you don't feel tired when climbing up.

The scenery is charming, the waterfall falls from the sky, the first waterfall is majestic and magnificent: it really has the visual effect of "the waterfall falls three thousand feet straight down, and it seems that the Milky Way falls from the sky". The water curtain cave in the second waterfall is also very distinctive. This is a tourist attraction worth visiting.
The main purpose is to take pictures. The tourists inside are all cosplaying there to take pictures. Therefore, it is recommended to enter from the north gate and take pictures directly at the first and second waterfalls, and then walk up the same way. Otherwise, it is quite far to walk to the third waterfall, and you have to pay for a shuttle bus. It is recommended that the scenic spot provide free shuttle buses directly, after all, the ticket price is not low.

In the Suixi River, for two days, I went to Yaxiaku Shiqiyan Yongjia College Cangpo Ancient Village Furong Ancient Village Lishui Ancient Street. I traveled between the ancient buildings of the landscape and the physical and mental pleasure. It was a worthwhile trip. Various scenic spots are scattered, suitable for self-driving or car rental.
The Nanxi River Scenic Area is famous for its beautiful water, strange rocks, many waterfalls, ancient villages, and beautiful beaches and forests. The river here is clear and green, and the streams are winding, forming a beautiful landscape painting. Along the river bank, there are many quaint villages, such as Furong Ancient Village and Cangpo Ancient Village, which have completely preserved the traditional architectural style and folk culture, allowing people to deeply feel the tranquility and charm of the ancient village. In addition, there are many strange peaks and rocks around the Nanxi River, and waterfalls are cascading down, and the natural landscape is very charming. Tourists can take a boat on the river to enjoy the beautiful scenery, or stroll in the ancient village to explore the traces left by the years. It is a great place to enjoy the beauty of nature and ancient villages.

Wenzhou Dongtou Scenic Area, Wanghai Building, Banping Mountain Seaside cliffs, Xiandie Rock Strange Stones, sea breeze, refreshing, worth a visit
Dongtou Wanghai Tower is a famous tourist attraction located in Dongtou District, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China, and is also an important part of the national 4A-level scenic spot. Wanghai Tower was built in 434 AD and has a history of more than 1,500 years. It was originally built by Yan Yanzhi, the prefect of Yongjia, for the purpose of enjoying the sea view of Dongtou. When Zhang Youxin, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, was the prefect of Wenzhou in 825 AD, he specially visited Wanghai Tower and left poems. However, due to historical reasons, Wanghai Tower was destroyed. It was not until 2003 that the local government decided to rebuild Wanghai Tower and invited Chen Xingwen, the designer of the reconstruction of Tengwang Pavilion in Jiangxi, to preside over the design. After several years of construction, Wanghai Tower was officially opened to the public in 2007.

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.
It is the first marine nature reserve in China to join the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve Network. It is one of the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Islands in China" selected by 35 well-known media such as China National Geographic Magazine. Due to its unique habitat and rich shellfish and algae resources, it enjoys the reputation of "Blue Sea Fairy Mountain", "Shellfish and Algae Kingdom" and "Oriental Hawaii". The island has beautiful scenery and convenient transportation, making it a rare leisure and vacation resort!

It's OK. There are also some ancient buildings in the scenic area. It's just that it would be uncomfortable to walk after getting off the ferry in hot weather. Fortunately, it was rainy and the weather was cool when I came. There was an electric car but I didn't take it. I saw that there was a ferry sign in the center of the scenic area, but it was probably cancelled later in order to collect electric car tickets. So you can either walk or take an electric car to get back to the starting point.
Jiangxinyu is an island in the Lijiang River north of Wenzhou City. It is one of the four major scenic spots in China. It is known as the "Island of Chinese Poetry" "World Ancient Airmarker" and "Lijiang Penglai". Jiangxin Temple was built in the fifth generation. Song Gaozong once gave the famous Longxiang Xingqing Temple, which is regarded as the Zongshi Domain. Qing Qianlong was rebuilt in 54 years. It is divided into three temples, the middle and the back, and the ancient trees of the temple are towering. On both sides of the gate, there are a combination of the words written by Song Wang Shipeng, "the clouds are scattered in the morning and the morning, and the tide is long and long and long and long and long and long and long". Many people stop and don't know how to read the sound, what does it mean? Legend has it that when Wang Shipeng stayed at Jiangxin Temple, the abbot asked him to make a pair of pairs with the title of "cloud" and "chao", Wang Shipeng created this link, and he impressed the abbot with his talents. The correct reading is the upper link "cháo (zhao) (chão) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (chao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) Chang (chang) long (zhäng) long (chang) disappear", depicting the scene of the tide often rising, often rising, and often subsidence. Jiangxinyu is small, but famous, with a long history and deep veins. Not only is there a Buddhist temple, a celebrity poem, but also the oldest river aerospace sign, there are wells on the island, There are lakes, like Penglai Xiandao. The East and West Twin Towers are not only a temple sign, but also a navigation mark in the river. The East Tower was built in Tang Xiantong for ten years. The tower is 28 meters high, the bottom diameter is more than 8 meters, 6 surfaces and 7 floors, surrounded by blue bricks, and the tower is naturally growing with a century-old banyan tree. The West Tower was built in the second year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty. The tower is 32 meters high, 7 meters in diameter, 6-sided, 7-story, hollow, and is a pavilion-style blue brick imitation wooden structure. There are small Buddhas on each floor and each side. The stone sculptures are built in Haoran Building and Mingwanli for eight years. It is a three-open wooden structure. The name of the building is taken from the word "Haoran" in the "Zhengqi Song". Chengxian Pavilion was originally named Land and Water Pavilion, which was built in the first year of Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty. When the Ming Wanli was rebuilt in the past ten years, it was renamed Chengxian Pavilion. It is a two-story three wooden structure building. Wen Tianxiang - Ming Xianzong Chenghua was built in 18 years to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Wen Tianxiang's righteousness. From Xie Lingyun, Li Bai, Du Fu, Meng Haoran, Han Yu, Lu You and many other literati ink guests came to the city, leaving more than 800 poems, making it a "poetry holy place". Jiangxin is in the middle of the river, there is no bridge directly, you need to take the ferry to the island, you need to buy a ticket once every half an hour, and wait patiently. The scenery on the island is beautiful and the lake is rippling, which is a good place to relax.

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.
There are many places called Nantang in the Jiangnan water town, but there are only a few that can leave a deep impression on everyone.
Nantang in Wenzhou is one of them, because it uses three-dimensional methods such as artificial lighting to bring the night life of the entire Nantang alive.
At that time, I was still struggling whether to come here to see it, but when I was really on the entire Nantang River, I saw one dedicated actor after another showing the ancient charm, and you will find that this trip is worth it.
However, if you are like me and are reluctant to spend such an expensive boat ticket, you can also follow the rhythm of the boat on the shore, wait for a few more rounds, and enjoy the performance of the actors

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.
Wenzhou Night Market Street and the pedestrian street are all clothing stores. The streets are wide, with old Western-style houses next to them. There are food stores in the streets and alleys next to the main street, which is convenient for eating.
[Scenery] The night view is more beautiful for taking photos.
[Fun] Wuma Street has become Wenzhou's iconic shopping pedestrian street. It is a distribution center for goods in southern Zhejiang, especially daily necessities. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the architectural style of the combination of Chinese and Western styles is unique. Here, you can taste authentic Wenzhou food, buy a variety of specialty products, and feel the strong business atmosphere and cultural atmosphere.
[Cost-effectiveness] The cost-effectiveness of clothing is not high

This summer, the coolest and most exciting happy hometown, it must be it! 💙
Went to Wenzhou Paradise on May Day, it was really an unforgettable experience!
As soon as you enter the park, the lively and cheerful atmosphere hits you. The park is built by the mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery and unique architectural style. It incorporates the design concepts of American Disneyland and other parks. It is divided into six major landscape theme areas, such as the European style area and the cartoon area. It seems to have entered a fantasy world all of a sudden.
The amusement projects are rich and varied, and most of them are exciting projects. It is simply a paradise for the brave. The crazy roller coaster must not be missed. The track of more than 400 meters is ups and downs and lightning fast. When the car slowly climbed to a high place, my heart began to hang, followed by a dive and flip, the wind whistled in my ears, and screams came one after another. The excitement of adrenaline soaring makes people feel so cool! There is also a 50-meter high-speed rotating high-altitude flight. After rising to a high altitude, the whole person seems to be thrown out, but I can't help enjoying the pleasure of flying.
If you like a romantic atmosphere, the Ferris wheel is a great choice. As it slowly rises, the beauty of the entire park is in full view, with green mountains and green waters in the distance, laughter and joy in the park, and people around you immersed in this warm and romantic atmosphere, time seems to slow down. The luxurious double-decker carousel is also very dreamy. Under the gorgeous lights, as the carousel rotates, I feel like I have returned to my carefree childhood.
For parent-child play, the cartoon area and the children's paradise are very friendly, with gentle projects suitable for children, such as cartoon trains, childlike carousels, etc., which allow children to play to their heart's content. There are also some performances in the park. Although I didn't catch up with all of them, I couldn't help but stop and watch when I saw the wonderful performances of the actors when I passed by.
However, the park also has some minor flaws. The queue time for popular projects is long, such as the canyon rapids, and the waiting time is relatively long. It is recommended that everyone arrange the time reasonably or avoid peak hours. Although there are many dining options in the park, the price is slightly higher, and the taste can only be said to be satisfactory. If you have high dietary requirements, you may wish to bring some food with you.
Overall, Wenzhou Park is a great place to play. Whether you are a young person seeking excitement, a parent who wants to enjoy parent-child time with his or her children, or a couple seeking romance, you can find your own joy here. It is like a magical world full of joy and surprises. Once you come, you don’t want to leave, and after leaving, you still want to come back next time!
