Must-visit attractions
Changyu Tien: This severely underestimated attraction used to be a quarry, but now the interior landscape is diverse, "although it is made by man, it seems to be made in nature". Not only are there giant grotto Buddha statues, rich quarrying history displays, naive giant pandas, but you can also boat and play in the water. It is an excellent place to escape the summer heat.
Xiaozhu Village: Once awarded the title of China's most beautiful fishing village, its ancient colorful stone houses, rainbow stairs, and a harbor full of ships are full of literary and artistic atmosphere. Standing on the top of Qilin Mountain opposite, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful sunset.
Dui Ring Viewing Platform: Best to go on a sunny day, the azure blue water complements the huge ring-shaped viewing platform, named for its resemblance to Dui Ring. At sunset, the platform glitters with golden light;
Three Garlic Island: A small and special sheltered sea island, the island's ancient stone houses, sky, reefs, black beaches, do not have to go abroad to enjoy the scenery of Icelandic islands.
Golden Beach/Dong'ao Beach (choose one): Closer to your accommodation, Golden Beach is known as "Mount Fuji" on the sea. Take advantage of the opportunity to visit Golden Beach.
Ziyang Street: A very characteristic old street, lined with antique buildings. Here you can enjoy the food while strolling. The walls of Taizhou Prefecture are within easy reach. If you are tired of walking, find a small shop and enjoy the dim sum delicacies in a leisurely manner.
Taizhou on the tip of the tongue
- Embedded cake: highly recommended, the ones outside the scenic area are not only affordable, but also taste more authentic.
- Qing cake: authentic taste, not to be missed.
- Mountain flour ball: tastes like sweet dumplings, soft and sweet.
- Bubble shrimp: a local specialty snack, taste varies from person to person.
- Cheung Yuen Cooking Rice: Their eel soup tastes extremely delicious, the omelet omelet and gluten soup are quite good.
Warm accommodation recommended
The first choice is to live in Shitang Town, where the attractions are concentrated, the accommodation options are rich, there are all kinds of price points and design styles, many of them are still close to the mountains and rivers. The B&B I stayed in was quiet and comfortable, with an atmospheric lawn and floor-to-ceiling windows that opened the door, allowing you to have a great view of the Dui Ring viewing platform without leaving the house. Ready to come to Taizhou to kick off this fantastic trip?
