M72***72The South Gate plank road was under repair, so we entered from the North Entrance of the scenic area and hiked up the steps, taking about three hours to reach the summit. On the mountain, we walked along the cliffside plank road to admire various scenic spots, including the South Heaven Peak, Guanyin Peak, Ruyi Bridge, Wolong Bridge, Yuanmeng Bridge, and Kaitianpidi (a popular tourist attraction), which also took about two to three hours. We enjoyed the scenery and rested. There were also KFC, Bawangchaji (a popular tea shop), and other beverage and snack shops on the mountain. Shenxianju (a scenic spot) is breathtaking and well worth a visit.

Anonymous userThe scenery is unique and very interesting. It's dark and spacious inside, even a bit scary, which is quite interesting. The only downside is that it's quite far from Wenling city center, and it's not convenient to get a taxi.

柔情似水26If you're visiting Taizhou, you absolutely must go to Shenxianju! It's incredibly beautiful, and the walk is surprisingly easy – there are cable cars and elevators, making it very convenient. Strolling across the glass bridge and enjoying the scenery is fantastic!
44.7/5Anonymous userWe went to East Lake first, then the Great Wall. Tickets were checked smoothly. For the Great Wall, you enter by scanning your ID card. We took a lazy route, entering from Chenghuang Mountain and exiting from Chaotianmen, which was relatively easy and effortless.

M56***79Fantawild is home to a giant Ferris wheel that soars into the clouds, seemingly touching the edge of the sky, offering visitors a beautiful view of Kunming. Besides the Ferris wheel, it also boasts thrilling roller coasters. As the roller coasters race along the tracks, the screams and laughter of passengers blend together, creating a captivating symphony. The performers in the colorful amusement park, dressed in gorgeous costumes, present spectacular shows, winning rounds of applause.

M47***44This is our third visit to Dachen Island. We have a special liking for it. This time, we brought my cousin’s family from Chongqing with us. The seafood is super fresh and delicious, and the beautiful island scenery deeply attracted my cousin’s family from the mountain city...

阿丽的行囊The autumn colors are perfect, truly beautiful; the "World's First Wonder" title is well-deserved! There's also the "World's First Seal," both quite rare. I saw many mushroom-like things along the way; I wonder if they're Ganoderma lucidum (reishi mushrooms), and I thought about picking them. Note! It gets quite dark starting at 4:30 PM, so try to leave early.

东方一石Traveling to the East China Sea, Shitang in Wenling is the first place in mainland China to welcome the dawn of the millennium. It is also a colorful world and the first place where the first ray of dawn of the new millennium and the new century first shines on mainland China. Shitang in Wenling, Taizhou Bay, is in the mountain valley of Shitang with a radius of four or five square kilometers. It is full of stone buildings with the style of "houses biting mountains and mountains hugging houses". Some are neatly overlapped, while others are abrupt. They are grouped in threes and fives, with an orderly height and a strong sense of rhythm, forming a group of stone sculptures facing the wind and waves, full of masculinity.

顺水心情Guoqing Temple, dating back to the Sui Dynasty, is located in the Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area of Taizhou, Zhejiang Province. Its ancient and solemn temple style and rich Buddhist culture are highly popular with tourists. It's also an important item on my travel bucket list; I want to visit to experience Buddhist culture, see the world-famous rubbings, and the Hall of Five Hundred Arhats. Although I missed seeing the Sui Dynasty plum blossoms at Guoqing Temple in spring and couldn't make it to see the monks harvesting rice in early autumn, my best friend and I have an annual appointment to admire the osmanthus blossoms. The high temperatures lasted from September to October, and the weather wasn't cool enough for the osmanthus to bloom late. This November, it was the perfect time to visit Guoqing Temple to admire the osmanthus, and my best friend and I immediately agreed. Arriving at Tiantai Mountain in Taizhou, we entered Guoqing Temple. The osmanthus was in full bloom; photos and words cannot express the joy and emotion of seeing trees covered in blossoms. The fragrance filled the air; surrounded by the osmanthus trees, happiness was so simple and wonderful. We were both models and photographers on our independent trip. The old Guoqing Temple is so beautiful! Ancient trees and famous shrubs flourish, their shadows swaying gently. The yellow walls of the courtyard are mottled, and moss covers the stone lions and roof tiles. The view only captures a fraction of its beauty. Monks in the temple are drying and sweeping rice, repairing roof tiles on a sunny day. Leaving the temple and entering the countryside, visitors share in the peaceful atmosphere. "How many times have I wandered through the tranquil pool, how many autumns have passed with the changing seasons?" We shouldn't feel the sorrow of "wanting to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine, but it's not like the carefree days of youth." Even though time cannot be reversed, the inevitable passage and cycle of life are what make it beautiful, life is what makes it fulfilling, and life is what makes it complete through contentment and joy in the present. These snapshots should be treasured; not too early, not too late, everything is just right. If there are regrets, they will be made up for in other ways. This moment is eternal in our lives.
104.6/5Anonymous userThe scenery at the Upper and Lower Heavenly Lakes and Yaochi on Fangshan Mountain is quite beautiful, but the service at the scenic area is really inadequate. The road signs are confusing, and there are many forks in the mountain path, making it easy to get lost.
