Inspired by a photo, I decided to go on a whim! I came across a picture of the Ruyi Bridge in Taizhou Shenxianju, a glass bridge shrouded in clouds and mist, seemingly suspended in mid-air. I was instantly captivated! After some research, I discovered Taizhou not only boasts mountains and seas, but is also a paradise for soft and chewy delicacies. I immediately grabbed my friends, booked tickets, and set off! Day 1: A Day of Exploring Natural Wonders 📍 Tiantai Mountain Grand Waterfall The "Grandest Waterfall in China" lives up to its name! Standing on the viewing platform, the mist sprays your face, and rainbows appear and disappear. Wearing a *hanfu* here makes for stunning photos (non-slip shoes recommended). After descending the mountain, I stopped by the former residence of Ji Gong and listened to the fascinating stories of the Living Buddha. 📍 Guoqing Temple A Sui Dynasty temple with a 1,400-year history, it's bustling with worshippers yet tranquil. The temple grounds are filled with ancient trees, and the vegetarian meal is only ¥5 for all you can eat, adding to the Zen-like atmosphere. Photo tip: The temple's yellow walls + rice paddies make for perfect ancient-style photos! Day 2: Shenxianju + Xiaoruo Village 📍 Shenxianju The Nantian Peak glass viewing platform offers a panoramic view of the surrounding peaks, and the Ruyi Bridge stretches across the valley like a jade *ruyi*. Adventurous friends can challenge themselves on the high-altitude rope bridge! I recommend taking the cable car up the mountain to save energy and walking down the cliffside plank road. The whole trip takes about 4 hours. 📍 Wenling Xiaoruo Village In the evening, I rushed to the "Chinese Cinque Terre"! Colorful houses + sunset fishing boats, add a creamy filter, and the photos are divine! Stay at a nearby B&B and wake up early to watch the first rays of sunlight hit the sea at Millennium Dawn Park. It's incredibly romantic! Day 3: Slow Living in the Ancient City 📍 Taizhou Fu City Wall (Jiangnan Great Wall) Even more beautiful than the Great Wall of Beijing! Climb the 198 steps from Lansheng Gate to the top for a panoramic view of Linhai. The ¥70 combined ticket includes East Lake, where the Jiangnan gardens and the reflection of the ancient pagoda make for stunning photos in a *qipao*! 📍 Ziyang Old Street A paradise for lovers of soft and chewy treats! Seaweed cakes, egg white sheep tails, *wufan machi*... ¥10 will get you more than enough to eat! I recommend the time-honored brand "Wang Tianshun" for freshly baked, crispy, and fragrant cakes. Tips: 1️⃣ Transportation: 2-hour direct high-speed train from Shanghai/Hangzhou. Carpooling or renting a car is recommended for traveling between attractions. 2️⃣ Accommodation: B&Bs near Ziyang Street in Linhai are highly recommended, averaging ¥150/night. 3️⃣ Things to avoid: Changyu Dongtian is quite far, so you can skip it if time is tight. Be sure to ask about prices before ordering at seafood restaurants! Taizhou, a city of "mountains, seas, and cityscapes," is truly worthwhile! Whether you're an introvert enjoying the scenery alone or an extrovert having fun with friends, you can find your own sense of relaxation here.

You can go shopping in the ancient street when you go out, there are many delicious foods around, and travel is also convenient. 😃If you prefer a comfortable and quiet environment, some hotels around Linghu Scenic Area are good choices. The environment is beautiful and it will be very quiet to rest at night. 🌟Note: ❗The temperature in Linhai is relatively low in winter, so remember to bring a thick coat and take measures to keep warm to avoid catching a cold. ❗When visiting the Taizhou City Wall, wear comfortable shoes, as walking the entire length of the wall is quite tiring. ❗When tasting delicious food, if you can’t eat spicy food or have a food restriction, please inform the store in advance and ask them to adjust the taste of the dishes😉. I hope this winter Linhai travel guide can help everyone spend a good time in Linhai💕.

Today I must recommend to you a city with great charm - Linhai! I went there some time ago and was immediately struck by its charm. As soon as I arrived in Linhai, I went straight to the city wall of Taizhou Prefecture. This city wall is very old. Standing underneath and looking up, the tall and thick wall exudes a sense of historical majesty. Walking along the city wall, the bricks and stones under your feet seem to tell stories of the past. Looking into the distance, you can see the Ling River flowing slowly, with boats coming and going on the river, creating a picturesque scenery. When you get tired, you can find a pavilion on the city wall to rest and enjoy the river breeze. It is so comfortable. Coming down from the city wall, I went to Ziyang Ancient Street. This ancient street is very lively, with quaint shops on both sides of the cobblestone road. The various special snacks are fragrant. The egg white lamb tail is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is sweet but not greasy when you take a bite. The seaweed cake is salty, fragrant and crispy. I ate several of them in one breath. In addition to delicious food, there are also many traditional handicraft shops on the street, with exquisite wood carvings and quaint bamboo weavings, each of which is irresistible. Next, I came to Longxing Temple. This thousand-year-old temple is solemn and majestic, with curling incense smoke and melodious bell sounds inside. With red walls, black tiles and green trees, your heart will suddenly become calm when you are in it. Here, I seemed to travel back to ancient times and felt the tranquility and peace. The night by the sea has a unique flavor. As the lights come on, the ancient streets and city walls are outlined by the lights, which is magnificent. I found a small shop by the river, ordered a cup of hot tea, and quietly admired the night view, my thoughts drifting away with the river. Linhai is really worth a visit! Come here to feel the charm of history
