The 6 pitfalls of Taizhou City Wall, let me help you avoid them!

1. Can I get a free ticket? Yes, you can. Before 7 am, you can enter for free from Lansheng Gate or Xingshan Gate. Make sure you arrive before 7 am! Save CNY 60. 2. Which gate is the best to enter from? If you visit in winter, we recommend entering from Lansheng Gate. Although there is a long staircase, you can see the sunrise and the beautiful scenery of Donghu Lake. The rest of the road is mostly downhill. If you want to start with the easy part, you can enter from Xingshan Gate. It is also open at night. However, the rest of the road is mostly uphill. Chaotian Gate is in the middle, and it is close to Ximen Street. Meiyuan is also a gate, but it is only for exit, not for entry. We do not recommend these two gates. 3. The city wall is under repair! The northernmost No. 5–7 watchtowers are under repair. You can only pass through the temporary scaffolding next to them, which is a bit disappointing. 4. If I have limited time, which section is the most beautiful? If you only have one hour, we recommend entering from Chaotian Gate and walking to the 4th watchtower. The S-shaped route from No. 2 to No. 3 is the most beautiful, and the scenery from No. 3 to No. 4 is as beautiful as the Great Wall. 5. Is there anything else to see besides the Great Wall? In winter, you must not miss Meiyuan. There is a deer park between No. 4 and No. 5 watchtowers, and you can also visit Wentian Platform. Be sure to go to the middle of Wentian Platform, which has the same 360-degree surround sound effect as the Temple of Heaven. The best part is that there is no one to compete with you! 6. Can I visit the city wall at night? Yes, you can, but you can only enter from Xingshan Gate for free. We recommend turning right after entering to see the night view of Ziyang Street. There is no need to turn left, as the road is blocked.
