Come to Thousand Caves Island in 2024, where you can have a relationship with snakes

Time flies, it passes very quickly, and the annual Spring Festival is coming soon! In the subconscious of our people, the Spring Festival is one of the most grand and distinctive traditional festivals among the people. It refers to New Year’s Eve and the first day of the first lunar month, which is the first day of the year, also called the lunar year, commonly known as "New Year". Moreover, with the arrival of the Spring Festival, everyone visits relatives and friends, drinks Laba porridge, worships the Kitchen God, sweeps the house, puts up Spring Festival couplets, puts up New Year pictures, pastes the word "Fu" upside down, stays up on New Year's Eve, eats dumplings, receives New Year's money, pays New Year's greetings, visits temple fairs and other folk activities. Of course, with the convenience of current transportation, many people will choose to take a spontaneous trip during the Spring Festival to experience the prosperity and splendor of the motherland! So the question is, the Spring Festival is coming, where should we go for a trip? Uncle Cricket recommends that everyone come to "Thousand Cave Island", where you can get acquainted with snakes and appreciate the pirate culture! The one I want to introduce is Shepan Island. [It is said that the first Feng Shui masters who surveyed Shepan Island named it Longpan Island because the mountain features of the island resembled a giant dragon entrenched in Sanmen Bay. However, because the word "dragon" violated the emperor's name, it was renamed Shepan Island to avoid suspicion.] After thousands of years of mining, only caves were left, so it has the reputation of "Island of Thousand Caves". It is a 4A-level tourist attraction in China and the second largest island in the area. It has highlights such as Pirate Village, Savage Cave, and Mud Park! Interestingly, although the name of Shepan Island is related to snakes, it is actually the site of the largest island quarry in the country, producing the famous Jiangnan stone - "Shepan Island Stone", so this attraction is both mysterious and interesting! After arriving at Shepan Island, you will see that the "stone" culture is prominent here. It was once the habitat of the ancient Yue people, a supply base for the Maritime Silk Road, a mining site for famous Jiangnan stones, the birthplace of Chinese art stone windows, and a rare modern cave dwelling site, all of which are related to stone! As we continued walking, the view in front of us suddenly opened up. The island was filled with crisscrossing caves, overlapping each other, with rugged rocks and bizarre scenery. After entering the cave, it is like spring all year round, and outside the cave there are waves and sails, which is really fun and interesting! What’s even more interesting is that there is also a “pirate culture” here. Why is that? It turns out that Shepan Island was one of the main pirate lairs in Zhejiang Province in ancient times, and the pirates were not eradicated until 1953. Over the course of time, it has brought together some of the most famous pirates in China's maritime history, and has realistically reproduced every detail of pirate life. Even Nordic pirates such as the "Sea Devil" Francis Drake and the "Pirate Queen" Catalina have come here, which is amazing! For those who are visiting for the first time, you can focus on three aspects; First, the stone caves. As we mentioned before, Shepan Island is also known as the "Thousand Cave Island". Therefore, when playing in the "Thousand Caves", you can explore the large caves with an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters, as well as the deep, winding and bottomless small caves that can only accommodate one person. There are caves within caves, and they are horizontal and vertical, with rugged rocks, like a maze. Second, pirates. The pirate village is like a maze, divided into parts such as "Heroes of the East China Sea", "Alliance of Mountains and Seas", and "Ocean Strategy". It unfolds based on the deeds of five representative figures in the history of Chinese pirates: Sun En, Lu Xun, Fang Guozhen, Wang Zhi, and Zheng Zhilong. Third, the island. The entire Shepan Island is centered around islands, caves, rocks and the sea. It is located in the core waters of Sanmen Bay. Its superior island style makes everyone fall in love with it, and playing there makes people feel relaxed and comfortable both physically and mentally! Those who like to check in can focus on highlights such as Huangnidong Ancient Village, Pirate Village, Savage Cave, Qingfengdong Starry Sky Camp, Lion Ridge, and Mud Slide Park. Tips for visiting Shepan Island: Tickets are available online for 68 yuan [limited time discount of 9.9 yuan, ending in 14 days]. It is located on the Shangshe Line in Sanmen County, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. Take the Central Vegetable Market-Shepan to the [Shepan Hotel] station. It is recommended to travel by car.
