So, how do you plan a one-day trip to Tiantai Mountain in 2025? What precautions should you take? Look here! First, 2025 Tiantai Mountain One-Day Trip Itinerary For those visiting Tiantai Mountain for the first time, I recommend the following route to explore the origins of Buddhism and Taoism and experience the beautiful scenery: Guoqing Temple — Tiantai Mountain Grand Waterfall — Ji Gong's Former Residence. Guoqing Temple is free of charge and is the birthplace of the Tiantai Sect of Chinese Buddhism. It has a quiet and beautiful environment, surrounded by ancient trees. Now in spring, the thousand-year-old Sui plum blossoms are in bloom, which is a great reason to visit! Tiantai Mountain Grand Waterfall has an entrance fee of 100 yuan. It is a waterfall that "gets off work," meaning its water flow varies throughout the day. The main attractions include the nine-level waterfall, Lingyun plank road, viewing platform, rope bridge, glass suspension bridge, Dengyun ladder, and cliff carvings. It is a rare high-drop, close-contact stepped waterfall group, and the scene is very impressive! Ji Gong's Former Residence has an entrance fee of 30 yuan. It is the place of birth of the "Living Buddha" Ji Gong. Inside, you can see the real-life scenes of Ji Gong's life and understand the extraordinary life of the "Living Buddha." After a one-day trip, I believe many people will be attracted by the profoundness of Tiantai Mountain! Second, Precautions for Tiantai Mountain in 2025 1.

Mount Tiantai in June: Watch Fireflies + Play in the Water Mount Tiantai is the largest firefly viewing base in Asia, with a rich variety of fireflies and a large number, available for viewing from April to October each year. Best viewing spots in June: Xiaojiawan and near the entrance to Mount Tiantai When visiting Mount Tiantai to watch fireflies, it's essential to choose a clear day, as rainy and humid air can hinder the fireflies' ability to spread their wings and affect their luminescence. It's best if both the day before and the day of the visit are sunny; otherwise, the fireflies may hide in the grass and not fly or light up much. Combining friends' recommendations and online reviews, we stayed in Xiaojiawan, which is very close to the firefly viewing platform, about a 10-minute walk. The owner is very nice, and the food is delicious, although a bit pricey, so it's suggested to bring some snacks. If you arrange two days, on the first day, you can climb the mountain and tour the Tiantai~Le'an line, view the Changhong~Xiangshuitan Waterfall Group. After 8:30 pm, when it's completely dark, walk to the firefly valley to watch the glowing dots of fireflies. The owner also took us to a small viewing spot near his place, but there were not as many fireflies as at the dedicated viewing spots. It's better to go a bit earlier, or you won't get a spot in the front row. The second day, tour the main Tiantai (walking on the right side of the entrance, you can see a large area of endless summer) then pass through Butterfly Beach and walk through Vanilla Gully, where there are many free water play facilities for children, and the water play here is particularly comfortable. The riverbed is not muddy or rocky but is a particularly flat stone slab formed by sandstone washed by the flowing water, which is not slippery and doesn't hurt your feet, and the water is especially clear and cool. (Remember to bring spare clothes for the kids) Ticket price: 60 yuan Sightseeing car: 30 yuan per day ​Precautions 1. It is strictly forbidden to capture fireflies. 2. When watching fireflies, remember to turn off all light sources and watch in the dark. If you really need a flashlight or headlamp to see the path, please consciously cover it with a red plastic bag or red cloth (red light has less disturbance to fireflies). 3. When watching fireflies, please watch quietly, do not make noise, and do not walk around in the grass to avoid disturbing them. 4. If you need to take photos, it is best to use a professional camera, go up the mountain earlier in the evening while the light is still good, focus in advance, and adjust the composition. 5. Wear long-sleeved tops and long pants to prevent mosquito bites, and be aware that mosquito repellent can also affect fireflies.

Shanghai has discovered another place worth going on weekends! ✅Travel Shanghai 🚄 Tiantai Mountain, arrive at Tiantai Mountain at 9:59 ✅Play Qiongtai Xian Valley ➡️ Tiantai Mountain Waterfall ➡️ Guoqing Temple 1️⃣After arriving at the high-speed rail station, take a taxi directly to the east gate (upper entrance) of Qiongtai Xian Valley. It's easier to climb down all the way. Qiongtai Xian Valley is very beautiful, especially the Baxian Lake, which really looks like a painting (P1-3) 2️⃣After reaching the west gate (lower entrance) of Qiongtai Xian Valley, take a taxi directly to the Tiantai Mountain Waterfall Visitor Center. The waterfall ticket is 100 yuan, and I personally feel that the cost performance is not so high. We went down the mountain after the Xiuzhen Cave of the waterfall. The scenery in the cave is quite shocking, and you can see the water falling straight down from inside. (P4-6) 3️⃣Take a taxi from the waterfall to Guoqing Temple. Guoqing Temple is really worth going. There is a field next to the temple, which sets off the ancient tower standing for thousands of years. The temple provides free tea. (P7-9)
