Things to do in Taizhou

Hiking at Shenxianju is a bit tiring, about 3km. I recommend taking the cable car; it's definitely worth it. The peaks and rocks are stunning. We chose to take the cable car up and down, but if you're not in good physical condition, I suggest taking the cable car up and down, as there's a long loop on the mountain.

Changyu Caves are an excellent summer retreat, offering natural coolness without the need for air conditioning. The massive caves are masterpieces of nature, with unique play of light and shadow. A stroll through them is refreshing and pleasant, with unique scenery and not too crowded, making it a perfect summer outing and a rare natural karst cave paradise.

I bought a package ticket for 160 yuan. Entering from the Tiantaishan Waterfall Visitor Center, you can climb the main waterfall directly to your right. To your left is a free shuttle bus to Qiongtan Fairy Valley. From Qiongtan Fairy Valley, you can take an elevator directly to Huixian Bridge for 30 yuan. Returning to the visitor center from Qiongtan Fairy Valley requires a 10 yuan shuttle bus ticket. Overall, the scenery is decent. The main waterfall is even better; the water volume is enormous, and the drop is significant, making it quite spectacular.

The staff were incredibly welcoming and proactive! The hotel design was superb! The service experience was exceptional (bar, book bar, photography exhibition, record player music, welcome fruit and dessert, bedtime snacks, handmade hot stamping, travel photography, horseback riding experience), and the hotel lunch set meal exceeded my expectations (the food selection and service were superb). I truly felt the sincerity of the hotel management and staff!

Taizhou Ancient City Cultural Tourism Area is an excellent 5A-level scenic spot; climbing the Great Wall of Jiangnan is a unique experience; the scenery is breathtaking along the way; it's definitely worth a visit...

This waterfall, with its relatively large drop, is quite rare and worth seeing. The mist spraying from below is very refreshing, and the thunderous sound is quite impressive. Don't miss the boardwalk along the mountain behind the waterfall area.

A specially booked 2-hour in-depth guided tour was well worth the wait. The guide, deeply knowledgeable about the thousand-year-old cultural heritage of Guoqing Temple, eloquently recounted the temple's founding by Master Zhiyi and the aesthetic beauty of its ancient architecture, brick by brick. The two-hour tour allowed for a leisurely walk through the entire temple grounds, away from the crowds, offering a tranquil and immersive experience. Shedding the superficiality of a rushed tour, the guide helped participants understand the profound meaning of "If the temple is established, the country will be at peace." The gentle and unhurried explanation provided a healing and Zen-like journey, highly recommended.

Taizhou Fantawild is an animation and science fiction theme park, offering attractions that cater to both thrills and family-friendly activities, making it ideal for short trips within the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai area. Its signature attraction, "Flying," features a stunning dome screen and an immersive, aerial flying experience that's definitely worth checking out. "City of Warriors" offers highly interactive 4D racing experiences, while those seeking a more adrenaline-pumping experience can challenge themselves with the "Heroes of the World" roller coaster. The park is divided into several themed areas with exquisite scenery, lively parades, and a vibrant nighttime atmosphere. Many attractions are indoors, offering shelter from the sun and rain. However, during holidays, popular attractions may have long queues, and food prices within the park tend to be high. With attractions suitable for all ages, it offers a rich and enjoyable experience for the whole family; a full day is recommended for a leisurely visit.

This attraction will definitely not disappoint you. It's incredibly photogenic, and the service is excellent. To fully appreciate it, you'll need a whole day. The only downside is the limited food options, and what you find is quite unappetizing.
