[2025 Taizhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Qintong Ancient Town (Updated May)

Ladies! Took my 7-year-old on a weekend adventure to the watery charm of Taizhou—beautiful as true Jiangnan, but the pitfalls were real dealbreakers! My kid chased after elk mimicking their calls, while I got drenched like a drowned rat in the downpour... Here’s my tearful guide + blood-and-tears lessons to save you 90% of the meltdowns‼️ ♦️Itinerary Worth Every Drop (Copy Directly!) Day1⃣️: Navy Birthplace Memorial Hall👉Climb Wanghai Tower👉Capture vintage vibes at Taizhou Old Street👉Night stroll in Taoyuan Garden Day2⃣️: 6 AM dim sum rush👉Boat ride in Qinhu Wetland👉Explore Qintong Ancient Town👉Head home ✅Qinhu Wetland Park A scream machine for kids! As our boat surged into the reeds, three elk suddenly jumped out 🦌 My kid’s hands trembled like a vibrator holding carrots. The highlight? The water maze—we paddled through eight turns and almost got lost, and my kid got so excited they broke an oar (cost me 50 yuan, RIP 😭). ✅Taizhou Dim Sum Arrived at Haitangchun at 6 AM, and my kid counted steamers while squatting outside... The moment we pierced the crab roe soup dumpling with a straw, their eyes widened: "Mom, this bun explodes!" 🥟 The fish noodle soup was so fresh they slurped it silently, and the sesame-oil-dried tofu was plate-licking good. ✅Qintong Ancient Town Crawled under an 800-year-old camellia tree while my kid hunted for tree rings with a magnifier 🔍 At the wedding customs hall, they tried on a phoenix crown and instantly turned dramatic: "This queen demands a bridal sedan!" The funniest was the antique fire hose at the water dragon bureau—my kid sprayed dad soaking wet 💦. 💣Bloody Lessons: 1⃣️Navy Memorial is closed Mondays! We took a cab all the way only to face the guard’s judgmental stare... 2⃣️Last boat at Qinhu departs at 16:30! Arrived at 17:00 and watched it sail away in despair. 3⃣️Take photos at Wanghai Tower in the morning! Afternoon backlight turns faces pitch-black—our kid’s group photo looked like a missing child poster 😫. 4⃣️Don’t trust "ancient town open all day"! Folk museums lock at 17:00—we peeked through cracks and saw nada. 🍜Food Hall of Fame/Shame: ✔️Haitangchun’s wild vegetable buns are divine! My kid devoured three. ✔️Taizhou Old Street’s stinky tofu is legendary—spicy sauce made the next table’s kid cry from envy. ✔️Qintong’s fish-shrimp ball soup was so bouncy my kid played ping-pong with a spoon. ✖️Don’t take crab soup dumplings to-go! Leaky boxes melt plastic bags... 📸Instagram Gold: 1⃣️Taoyuan Garden’s giant photo frame (Wanghai Tower’s night view as backdrop = stunning). 2⃣️Qintong’s blue-brick alleys (rent Hanfu for a running-backward glance shot). 3⃣️Qinhu Wetland’s elk zone (capture your kid’s wide-eyed feeding moment). 🏡Stay Recs: ✔️Taizhou International Jinling Hotel: Free elk plush + picture book for kids. ✔️Qinhu Resort: Wake up to wetlands and birdsong—pure therapy. On the way back, my kid suddenly said: "Mom, Taizhou dim sum is more fun than LEGO!" Though two pairs of shoes got soaked, seeing their diary filled with elk and soup dumplings turned this mom’s rage into rainbows~

During the Qingming holiday, I took a detour from my hometown in Nanjing to Taizhou for two days. Strolling through the city, I found a rich historical and cultural atmosphere perfectly blended with stunning natural scenery. Every corner exudes a unique charm. 📅 Itinerary: 🚶🏻‍♀️【Taizhou Two-Day Tour】Route Guide Day 1: Visit the Mei Lanfang Memorial Hall in the morning → Enjoy local Taizhou cuisine at a small local restaurant for lunch → Stroll along Taizhou Old Street in the afternoon → Immerse yourself in the night view of the Old Street in the evening Day 2: Experience Taizhou's morning tea culture early in the morning → Head to Qintong Ancient Camellia to admire the flowers → Go to Qinhu Wetland Park for some fresh air after lunch → Visit the Warship Culture Park in the afternoon 🌄 Must-Visit Spot 1: Mei Lanfang Memorial Hall: Free admission. The Jiangnan garden style inside the hall is very charming. In the exhibition hall, capture the focused expressions of tourists admiring the exhibits, or take portrait photos in front of the ancient opera stage with carved beams and painted pillars as the background to easily create a blockbuster of humanistic art. 🌄 Must-Visit Spot 2: Taizhou Old Street: You can capture the everyday life of the people in the quaint streets and alleys. I recommend Zhonglou Alley and Shisheng Street, which have a strong local atmosphere and are suitable for visiting in the evening. 🌄 Must-Visit Spot 3: Qintong Ancient Camellia: In Qintong Ancient Town, there is a camellia tree that was planted in the Song Dynasty and is now nearly 800 years old. The camellia flowers are in full bloom from late March to mid-April, with an estimated nearly 100 flowers. You can only appreciate how shocking it is when you are there. 🌄 Must-Visit Spot 4: Qinhu Wetland Park: Tickets are CNY 80. You can see many elks here. First, take a boat into the park and start from the Hudong Ecological Area. The lake and green trees along the way make for a great view. When you get to the elk viewing area, capture the moment of the elks relaxing. It's super healing, but be aware that there are no boats after about 5 PM. 🌄 Must-Visit Spot 5: Warship Culture Park: The People's Navy set sail from here, which is very suitable for bringing children to play. Board the warship and feel the strength of China's navy. 🚗 Transportation Guide: It is recommended to drive yourself. 💗 Other tips: 1. When you come to Taizhou, you must try their morning tea, including dried bean curd in broth and crab roe buns. I recommend going to Liufang Teahouse, Huibinlou, and Guo Er Morning Tea. 2. The attractions are relatively far apart, so it is recommended to drive yourself for convenience.

Qintong Ancient Town is a place where dogs bark in three counties. It is a land of fish and rice at the junction of Nantong, Yancheng and Taizhou. Tickets are required to visit the ancient town. There are several scenic spots. The first scenic spot is the former residence of Academician Li Deren, a simple and elegant small garden. The second scenic spot is to see the world's largest camellia tree, which is in bloom from March to April. The third scenic spot is to visit ancient houses, wine troughs, academies, etc. The fourth scenic spot is the thousand-year-old locust tree in the Green Garden. The most amazing thing is that there is a flesh-and-blood statue of a monk in the temple. The fifth scenic spot is to see the wedding building and walk around the bricks. The clanging sound is used to prevent theft in ancient times. The sixth scenic spot is to visit the Water Dragon Bureau (fire protection). Finally, walk through the alleys and "first-class clean" to exit the scenic area. The old streets of Qintong Ancient Town are full of various snacks and delicacies. They taste good.

Visit Qinhuangdao. Enter from an alley off the food street, and you'll find yourself among the homes of local residents. Walking on the narrow cobblestone paths, follow the signs on the blue brick walls to explore 7 different courtyards, including temples, tea gardens, and Xianxiang Hall... One of the more distinctive features is the three ancient trees: a 500-year-old boxwood, a 900-year-old camellia, and a thousand-year-old locust tree. There are few tourists, and the alleys and courtyards are very quiet, not like typical tourist spots. It's just a normal, peaceful corner of everyday life, quite suitable for taking photos. I bought some dried meat on the old street, tasted the Qinhu Lake crab, and drank osmanthus rice wine. I returned home content.

The ancient town of Qintong still retains its simplicity However, with the development of tourism and the increase in tourists The town has lost the simplicity and tranquility it had many years ago Now, Qintong is lively, cheerful, and developing The still resilient and towering century-old trees bear witness to the ancient town's vicissitudes and changes

Here the water and grass are lush, the deer 'gather in hundreds', and the farmers 'work without ploughing'. Surrounded by water on all sides, it is known as the 'Pearl of the Water Town'. Zhen Tong is rich in rice, cotton, fish and shrimp, and crabs, and is truly a land of fish and rice. 🧉The ancient mountain tea with a history of thousands of years, and the old locust tree in the Green Tree Zen Temple, all tell the long history of this ancient town. ✅The ancient town is not large A well-preserved Ming and Qing architecture is next to the local residents; the bluestone road is full of the charm of the southern water town Food: 🤤This is the first time I have seen such a delicious ancient town! Huangqiao sesame cake, fried small crabs, Jingjiang meat shop, fish ball fish cake, stinky dried! There is also a fish cake shop that has been reported by CCTV, all worth a try~

It is known as the ancient town of the water town of the ancient town when you see a folk house with a wishful band of this color celebration, the Green Tree Temple arrived. The Green Tree Temple is named after the old man, and the old man has become a fairy because of the Zen Temple. It has a history of more than a thousand years. Here is one of the eight scenes: the green courtyard is coveted. For thousands of years, people have respected the old banyan tree, and the tree is covered with red wishing belts. The peers can see this situation and can't help but admire! Young people come here to pray for a happy marriage, and the old people come here to pray for health and longevity. If you have the opportunity to come here, don't forget to follow the customs and pray for peace and happiness. The temple was built in the Tang and Five Dynasties and was overhauled in the Ming Dynasty. The main hall is dedicated to three large Buddhas. They represent the present, the past and the future. On both sides are eighteen Arhats, followed by the island Guanyin, retaining the style of the Ming Dynasty rebuilt. There are few Buddhist temple buildings in Wukai, and there are many structures in Liangshan, Jinzishan and Zhongzhushan, which are both beautiful and practical. The beams between the beams, the beams, and the lotus leaves are fine. Narrow ticket gate, the monks wearing yellow robes walked slowly. The incense in the temple is lingering, and the sound of the Buddha is quiet, so it is suitable to stop and listen to your inner voice. The street scene of the ancient town is connected with the new branches of the millennium. If it is looming, is it a greenery that can only be said to be unspeakable?

In ancient towns, perhaps many people couldnt think of it. As early as 5,000 years ago, humans lived here because of the Neolithic artifacts and the deer antler fossils. There is more than a thousand years of written history. It is a veritable millennium ancient town. The most famous in the ancient town is this millennial old tea tree. It is vigorous and powerful, breaking through the tile beam, still living today. The ground is growing. The word has water, which is destined to be inextricably linked with water, and because the ancient town is surrounded by water, there is the nickname of "Suzhong Zhouzhuang". Today, this "water pearl" is rising in the ancient towns of China. Opening time: 8:30-17:30 Ticket: 40 yuan

The old street in Taizhou is adjacent to the Fengcheng River. It was opened to the public around 2009. It is almost ten years away. I said that because of this location, it is in the city center, and there are many places where you can eat, so Locals like to come to the old street party on weekends! The gate of Taoyuan Scenic Area is at the entrance of Laojie, so like Old Street, Taoyuan, Meiyuan, Fengcheng River and Wanghai Tower are all together, it is quite convenient to play. This time I came to Taizhou to find that there are quite a lot of comets here. The locals are also very kind to these microphones, and always take some food to feed them. When I was hanging out in the old street, I found a group of cats. Zhizhi students seemed to like cats too, and told us to shoot them. Mingshipu's Ming and Qing Alleys, shuttled in the deep courtyard, the street full of fragrant snacks, plus screaming, this is the unique charm of Taizhou Old Street! At the entrance of the old street, I bumped into the old man who was shaking the bamboo. I saw that he had two two-foot-long bamboo sticks in his hands and a cotton rope with a length of about five feet at the top. One or two laps, one hand and one hand, constantly shaking, and when the rotation is accelerated, the bell will beep.
