Lizhong Water Forest Park is a man-made ecological forest where various trees adapted to living in water, such as the pond cypress and dawn redwood, are planted. Economic products like taro and rapeseed are grown among the trees. The more than 10,000 pond cypresses, dawn redwoods, and other trees planted here have already matured into a dense, vigorous, garden on the water. Hop a wooden raft to shuttle through the waterways and view the many trees growing up out of the water. It is an eyeful of green, this natural oxygen bar, and a great place for city dwellers to get back to nature.

According to legend, the Qianduo Scenic Area represents the mysterious and powerful military formation created by General Yue Fei in the 12th century. Here, farmers' fields of all different sizes rise up out of the wetland, disconnected from each other. Crisscrossed and surrounded by waterways, they are unreachable except by boat. Each separate field is like an island floating on the surface of the water. Every year around the time of the Qingming Festival (early April), the canola flowers bloom. The “golden islands” create a stunning sight with their explosions of yellow under the blue sky, outlined and crossed through by the clear, blue water.

Fengcheng River Scenic Area is a moat that surrounds the ancient city of Taizhou in a rectangular shape. The main attractions are concentrated in the southeast corner, primarily featuring the Wanghai Tower area on the northern bank and the Taoyuan (Peach Garden) scenic area on the southern bank. Both sides of the river are lined with green willows and dotted with cultural structures, making it a pleasant experience to stroll along the riverbank or take a cruise. At night, the illuminated scenery adds to the charm. The Wanghai Tower area on the northern bank centers around Fengcheng River's Wanghai Tower, originally built during the Song Dynasty and reconstructed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Visitors can climb the tower for panoramic views. To the west lies Wenhui Hall, featuring statues of Fan Zhongyan and Teng Zijing. Further north, you'll find the Zhoucheng Ruins, an ancient city plaza with engraved ground reliefs, and a stele garden displaying inscribed poems praising Taizhou. On the southern bank, the waterside pavilion pier in Fengcheng River's Taoyuan is an ideal spot for sightseeing. The core attraction here is Chen'an, a Ming-Qing style complex with three courtyards furnished with antique furniture. Inside, exhibits detail Kong Shangren's *The Peach Blossom Fan*, Zhong Zhenkui, and Taizhou's opera history. West of Chen'an is a stone boat, while to the north stand attractions like Qingfeng Pavilion and Laifeng Tower. The southern Peach Blossom Island is covered in peach trees, creating a stunning sight in spring. North of Taoyuan lies Mei Lanfang Park, where the Mei Lanfang Memorial Hall showcases the life and art of the Peking Opera master through artifacts and documents. West of Taoyuan is the Traditional Chinese Architecture Culture Museum, displaying cultural relics such as Luban rulers and compasses. The scenic area offers cruises, including pedal boats and electric boats, with fees ranging from CNY 30–40 depending on the vessel. For a more picturesque experience, opt for a night cruise—departing from Taoyuan Pier, the route passes Yingchun Bridge, Mei Garden, Liufang Teahouse, and Guandi Temple before returning. Other attractions include Fengcheng River's Imperial Examination Hall and Qiao Garden. Adjacent to Taoyuan's eastern side is Taizhou Old Street, built in Ming-Qing style. Here, visitors can shop for souvenirs and savor local delicacies like grass-oven baked cakes, Taizhou dried tofu shreds, and Qinhu Lake's "Eight Delicacies." If you prefer a leisurely stroll, you don't need to purchase an admission ticket—many riverside greenbelts are open for walking, and at night, you can admire the illuminated cruises gliding along the water.
