攬勝門

A brief account of Linhai, a leisurely two-day and one-night tour of wandering and eating. ✌️ Getting up at six and leaving at seven-thirty, those people are not to be messed with. The scenery of Donghu in the south of the Yangtze River is stunningly beautiful, and the best part is that it's Monday today, so there are very few people. 🥰🥰 When I first arrived at the foot of the Lanship Men, I was intimidated by the hundred-step staircase, but with courage ✌️ and the spirit of 'since I'm here, I must go up', I had to climb the Great Wall of the South of the Yangtze River 👍. The journey from the 8th enemy tower to the 1st enemy tower, each segment offered a different view, marveling at the grandeur and majesty of the ancient relics. 🥰 It took 2 hours to come down, not very tiring, but it was too hot, and I was sweating profusely. 👀👀 After coming down from Chaotianmen, I revisited Ximen Street and Ziyang Street, tasted the herbal paste, sampled Du Ji's pancakes, and finally got to drink the long-anticipated Overlord Tea Ji. 🥳 The cold drinks and carbohydrates after exercise are truly a source of happiness. 😍

Taizhou Linhai is truly a treasure! It was once rated by 'National Geographic' as the most beautiful ancient city in China, and it's also a paradise for sticky rice delicacies. Once you go, you can't stop eating... Promise me! You must visit Taizhou once in your lifetime❗❗ 🚗Transportation: As a tourist city that's best experienced casually, I highly recommend driving or renting a car‼️ Of course, choosing high-speed rail plus taxi is also quite convenient. 🏨Accommodation: I chose a hotel in Linhai. The hotel offers great value for money! There are shopping malls nearby, and it's not far from Ziyang Street, highly recommended ‼️ ✅Must-visit attractions 👣 ▪ Linhai Jiangnan Great Wall 🎫60 yuan/person It has the elegance of Badaling and the danger of Juyongguan. The Taizhou city wall starts from Lansheng Gate in the east and stretches to Jingyue Gate in the west, worth a visit! ⚠️Recommendation: The sky ladder at Lansheng Gate has scared many lazy people, but if you want to take it easy, you can start from the City God Temple. The uphill is less steep and more gentle, the downhill is easy, and you can pass by the best photo spot🎬 ▪ Guoqing Temple Admission 🆓 Half Zen monastery, half landscape. Once you enter the temple, you feel very at ease. Recommended visiting time is about 45 minutes, take your time and walk slowly. ⚠️Note: Guoqing Temple closes around 4 pm, so plan your time wisely. The sightseeing car costs 2💰/person, and it's not far to Guoqing Temple, so it's recommended to walk there. ▪ Tiantai Mountain Waterfall 🎫60 yuan/person A 20-minute drive from Guoqing Temple, you can see the huge waterfall from afar, quite spectacular! I think it's enough to climb to the Water Curtain Cave, but those with good physical strength can continue to the top! ▪ Xianju 🎫347/person It was a spontaneous decision to go, and it was truly worth it! ⚠️Recommend taking the cable car up and down, it's more relaxing and time-saving～ After comprehensive analysis, I still recommend starting from the south to climb the mountain ‼️ Currently, the main browsing routes are: south up south down, south up north down, north up north down, north up south down ▪ Ziyang Street A must-visit in Linhai, a microcosm of the ancient city of a thousand years, full of life and sticky rice paradise. There's a stall every ten steps, each offering a snack. If you're lucky, you might see impromptu performances, reminiscent of the Wuzhen Theatre Festival. There are also historical sites such as the former site of the People's Bank (P12) and the Zhu Ziqing Memorial Hall (P13). The night view of Ziyang Street is super beautiful! ✅About the food Green grass paste, egg white lamb tail, black rice mochi, embedded cake, and local dishes (wheat shrimp, sour soup...) I especially recommend the green grass paste and black rice mochi 👍🏻 ⚠️Don't come alone, you'll regret not having someone to take beautiful photos for you!

For people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the blooming period of plum blossoms this year is around the Spring Festival, so they can invite friends and family to go on a picnic and enjoy the flowers right after the New Year. Places like Chaoshan, Gushan, the Botanical Garden, and Xixi Wetland in Hangzhou all have large plum gardens, which often become popular places for citizens and tourists. To my surprise, when I came to Linhai Ancient City on the third day of the New Year, I found that there was also a not small plum forest here. One of them is even next to the Taizhou Prefecture City Wall, known as the 'Jiangnan Badaling', which has particularly outstanding scenery. Fortunately, the scene in front of me is indeed heart-moving. Even if it is difficult to 'climb to the top', no one will give up. It is said that there are more than 200 plum trees including Snow Red, Palace Pink, Cinnabar and other dozens of varieties in the plum garden in front of the Great Wall. They are either red, pink or white, with colorful flowers and various postures. They can be viewed from a distance or appreciated up close. No wonder they have become a must-visit spot for tourists to Linhai recently under the word of mouth among tourists. Standing on the Jiangnan Great Wall, you can overlook the entire plum garden. Under the bright sunshine, the branches full of bright flowers are set against the antique buildings with flying eaves and the old city houses not far away. Even before you are in the forest, you can smell the long and rich fragrance of flowers coming with the wind. It is really a unique charm that is pleasing to the eye and refreshing to the heart. Unfortunately, my schedule was tight, so I didn't 'drill' into the flower bush to feel it up close. According to relevant materials, 'Taizhou Prefecture City Wall, also known as Jiangnan Great Wall, Jiangnan Badaling, was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It has been demolished, rebuilt and repaired many times in history. It is more than 6000 meters long and there are more than 5000 meters left. It starts from Lansheng Gate in the east, winds along the ridge of Beigushan Mountain to Yanxia Pavilion, goes straight to the steep rocks of Lingjiang River in the east, extends to the foot of Jinshan Mountain in the west, overlooks the great river according to the mountain, especially the steepest part in the north', and this plum garden is located at its most 'handsome' place. For friends who come to Linhai for the first time, it is best not to 'be lazy' and go directly to the Great Wall from 'Chaotianmen', unless it is just for enjoying plums. I suggest that you can choose to start from 'Xingshan Gate' on Ziyang Street or 'Lansheng Gate' in front of Donghu Lake, so that you can appreciate the majestic posture of the Jiangnan Great Wall, and have the ancient city and Lingjiang scenery along the way. The biggest advantage is that you can choose whether to continue or not after arriving at the plum garden. Although it is not hard to walk and stop on the Great Wall, if there are elderly and children accompanying, you can adapt to the situation here. Of course, if you are a real 'lazy person' and don't even want to climb the Great Wall, then I suggest you go directly to Ziyang Street. There is a Jinshan Square on one side, and there are also many planted on the slope behind. Coming down from this plum forest, you can see a large stage and 'Good Food Comes' food street. If you are interested, you can consult the staff and wait for a wonderful performance while eating here. Of course, you can also visit the 'Taizhou Prefecture City Wall Museum' next door to learn more about this scenic spot. Because everyone prefers to go out for a spring outing and enjoy the plum blossoms these days, I will post this article first. Interested friends can go and check in as soon as possible. After all, the flowering period is limited, and maybe after a wind and rain, you can only wait for the next year.

When the cold wind is rustling, the Sui plum blossoms are white, and they shine with the Sui Temple and Sui Pagoda, which is very beautiful. 🎫Ticket: Free ticket ⚠️Note: 1️⃣Guoqing Temple closes early, probably ends at 4 o'clock, so arrange your visit time reasonably 2️⃣There is a sightseeing car at the door for 2 yuan/person, it is not far to Guoqing Temple, it is recommended to walk up. ✅Shiliang Waterfall Known as the 'world's first wonder', Shiliang Waterfall has attracted TV series 'Shaolin Temple' and Zhang Jizhong's version of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' to shoot.
