Wenzhou Cangnan Shiping Plank Road, a secret mountain and sea destination for self-driving hiking!

I recently discovered a super beautiful hiking route. Starting from Kengnan Village in Cangnan, Wenzhou, you can stroll along the Shiping Plank Road and check in at the super popular 168.SWEETU Oil Tank Café. It is truly a romantic journey between the mountains and the sea! 📍Navigate to East Coast Highway 1 and start from Kengnan Village Starting from downtown Wenzhou, navigate directly to the "East Coast Highway No. 1" (Cangnan 168 Golden Coastline) and drive along the coastline, enjoying the beautiful scenery. This highway starts from Yanting Town in the north and ends at Yanpu Town on the border between Zhejiang and Fujian provinces in the south. It is about 168 kilometers long and is truly the "China East Coast Highway No. 1". After arriving at Kengnan Village, walk along the village path for about 10 minutes and you will see the entrance to the Shiping plank road. 🚶‍♀️Shiping Plank Road: A romantic walk on the cliff It is about 5 kilometers long and is built along the cliffs. There is a rough sea at your feet, which is super spectacular. The entire plank road takes about 2-3 hours. The scenery along the way is beautiful and it is definitely a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. Route Highlights • Cliff plank road: The plank road is built on the mountain, with the deep blue sea at the foot and the waves hitting the rocks, which is super shocking. • Glass plank road: There is a glass plank road in the middle of the plank road. Walking on it feels like floating in the air. Brave friends must come and challenge it. • Dolphin Bay: Continue walking along the plank road and you will see a rock protruding into the sea. It is shaped like a dolphin and is called "Dolphin Bay". It is also a great photo spot. 🍔Check in at 168. SWEETU Oil Tank Cafe After walking the plank road, be sure to check in at 168.SWEETU Oil Tank Cafe! This used to be Sinopec's oil tank, but now it has been transformed into a super popular cafe. The cafe is located at Shipeng Plank Road Wharf in Jinxiang Town. If you drive, you can search for "Cangnan 168 Oil Tank Coffee" on the navigation. • Unique experience: The Oil Tank Café retains the exterior features of the oil tank and incorporates modern design elements inside. The two large oil tanks are used as a coffee shop and a study respectively. The coffee shop provides customers with a variety of handmade coffee and desserts. The window seats on the top floor face the sea and enjoy the beautiful mountain and sea scenery of the 168 golden coastline. • Study experience: There are more than 10,000 books in the study, and the walls of the entire tank are covered with various books. It is open to tourists free of charge. Choose a seat, order a cup of coffee, and wander in the ocean of books. This is what a comfortable life is all about. 📸Photography check-in point • Plank road entrance: The iconic wooden plank road entrance is perfect for taking a check-in photo at the start of your hike. • Glass plank road: Wear brightly colored clothes and take photos that create the visual effect of being suspended in the air, and you can create blockbuster movies in minutes. • Oil Tank Café: The retro oil tank shape, coupled with the sea background, makes every shot a blockbuster. 📝Warm Tips • Some sections of the plank road are quite steep, so it is recommended to wear comfortable sports shoes and pay attention to safety. • This is the seaside and the wind is quite strong, so you must take sun and wind protection measures. • Be mindful of protecting the environment and not littering during your hike. • This guide is published to help readers better plan their hiking trips, but the creator does not assume any legal responsibility for any consequences caused by this guide.
