Heavenly Waterfalls in Tiantai County You Must See

Tiantai Mountain Travel Guide | Buddhist Origins & Scenic Wonders, This 2-Day Itinerary Has It All! Tiantai Mountain truly took my breath away! As the birthplace of the Tiantai Buddhist school, it perfectly blends profound cultural heritage with stunning natural landscapes. Two days here will give you an incredibly fulfilling experience~ 🚩Day 1: Guoqing Temple → Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area → Shiliang Waterfall 📍Guoqing Temple (Tiantai Scenic Area) This Sui Dynasty ancient temple is the ancestral home of Tiantai Buddhism, with towering ancient trees and vibrant incense offerings! Arrive before 8am for a more serene, meditative experience✨ 📍Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area (North Tiantai County) Take the shuttle bus up the mountain to hike Qiongtai Fairy Valley and Huading Azalea fields. Visit in May to see mountainsides blanketed in azalea blooms! Try the vegetarian monastery meals available on the mountain~ 📍Shiliang Waterfall (Shiliang Town) A national 5A-level attraction where waterfalls cascade dramatically through stone bridges! Wear non-slip shoes - the rainy season brings the most spectacular water volumes🌊 🚩Day 2: Chicheng Mountain → Jigong's Former Residence → Tongbai Palace 📍Chicheng Mountain (North Tiantai County) Unique Danxia landforms with the famously spiritual Jigong Temple at the summit! The 1-hour hike requires bringing water~ 📍Jigong's Former Residence (Chicheng Road) Recreations of the Living Buddha Jigong's life scenes make this highly entertaining! 30 yuan ticket, 1 hour visit is sufficient📿 📍Tongbai Palace (Tongbai Ridge) Southern Taoism's ancestral temple offers perfect tranquility. Don't miss the fairy terrace scenic area behind the palace~ 🍜Must-Try Foods: - Jiao Bing Tong: Tiantai's signature street snack - Hu La Tai: Fragrant local noodles perfect with soup - Cloud Mist Tea: Tiantai's specialty with sweet aftertaste 💡Pro Tips: 1. Tourist shuttles connect attractions (self-driving is more convenient) 2. Overnight stays at Guoqing Temple include morning rituals 3. Best seasons: May-June for azaleas, Sept-Oct for autumn colors (Off-season visits recommended)
