Tiantai Mountain, Zhejiang | A hidden gem.

"He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man, and he who has never been to Tiantai Mountain is truly unfortunate!" - Following in the footsteps of Xu Xiake, we arrived at Tiantai Mountain This hidden gem of a city⛰ With its cascading waterfalls and ancient forest temples And dense mountains covered in vegetation Here is my two-day travel guide, enjoy! - 🚗Transportation: About 3 hours by car from Hangzhou, or take a high-speed train to Tiantai Mountain Station, then take a taxi to each attraction - 🗺My two-day itinerary 𝘿1: Guoqing Temple ➠ Zhexi Old Street ➠ Shifeng Lake Night Tour 𝘿2: Tiantai Mountain Poetry Road Culture Digital Museum ➠ Tiantai Mountain Waterfall ➠ Qiongtai Fairy Valley 🌟Jiao Bing Tong A specialty snack of Taizhou! The dough is filled with a dozen different fillings, such as mushrooms, water bamboo, vermicelli, water chestnuts, lettuce, pork, and pork liver, then deep-fried. It's crispy and satisfying with every bite😌 I tried the ones from Deyuezhai and Yuqingzhai, both were pretty good! 🌟Pipihulatai The name suggests a sticky texture, but it's actually crispy. I tried the pumpkin flavor at Pipi Snacks, which also had some shrimp skin, adding a salty flavor. Highly recommended!! The texture is amazing 🌟Xiaji Grass Jelly Small cup for 3 yuan💰 The texture is like grass jelly, with herbal tea and a bit of mint oil, giving it a refreshing taste. Recommended! I also bought a cup at the Zhexi Old Street Market, and Xiaji's grass jelly was more tender with less mint. The best part is that it's half the price! 🌟Wheat Cake I tried two different textures. One was not crispy, but rather soft. It was filled with mashed potatoes, which I didn't like. The other was filled with vegetables and pork, and was crispy, but not particularly impressive. I'm not sure which is the authentic flavor😂 🌟Egg White Lamb Tail The name sounds strange, but it's actually a small piece of red bean paste wrapped in egg white and fried, then sprinkled with powdered sugar. The first bite is a bit greasy, and the egg white tastes strange on its own, but it's good with the red bean paste. Two for 8 yuan💰 🌟Beimen Beef Blood Soup A full bowl for only 5 yuan! What a price! It's slightly spicy, the beef blood is a bit hard, and the radish is soft
