AUNTE TANG

Sisters! I just discovered the ultimate value-for-money experience in the Yangtze River Delta region in Linhai! 😭 I went there last week with a casual attitude, but I was blown away by the Great Wall, the delicious local snacks, and the free-admission ancient town! Save this freshly baked guide! ------ 🍂 Off-Season Privileges - Heart-Pounding Deals Time: November-December (Clear skies, less crowds) ▪️ Great Wall Private Experience: Visit the Jiangnan Great Wall on a weekday; take photos freely on the watchtowers and walls without having to dodge tourists! ▪️ Affordable B&Bs: B&Bs converted from Ming and Qing dynasty houses on Ziyang Street for just 150+ RMB; open the wooden windows to see the blue bricks and gray tiles! ▪️ Hidden Bonus: Free entry to Donghu Garden for morning exercise! The scene of locals practicing Tai Chi is so charming and full of life! ------ 📸 Photo Guide: Cinematic Camera Spots 1️⃣ Lansheng Gate of the Great Wall in Jiangnan: Climb the 198 steps at 6 AM for a panoramic view of Ziyang Street. The morning mist creates a truly authentic Chinese atmosphere! 🎐 2️⃣ Longxing Temple Thousand Buddha Pagoda: Sunlight filters through the ginkgo leaves at 4 PM, creating a stunning contrast of red walls, bamboo shadows, and an ancient Tang Dynasty pagoda – a hidden gem that makes you feel like you're in Kyoto! 3️⃣ Ziyang Street Neon Sign: Square outside the "18RESERVA" coffee shop at 8 PM. The retro signboard and lanterns have a Hong Kong film vibe! ------ 🥟 Food Overload: Sticky Rice Paradise ▪️ Must-Try: Seaweed Rice Cakes! Wang Tianshun/Jiujiu's shop, 2 yuan each. Hot and crispy to the point of crumbling, I bought 20 to take home! ▪️ Hidden Gem: Egg White Sheep's Tail! Grandma's freshly fried red bean paste balls on Ziyang Street, 10 yuan/serving, sweeter than first love! ▪️ Local Canteen: Duqiao Fried Mochi! "Aunt Tang's" shop on the old street, 15 yuan per person, the wok hei (wok aroma) is so good you'll lick the plate clean! ------ 🚗 Transportation Scams - Hard-Earned Experiences 1️⃣ High-Speed ​​Rail Station Trap: A taxi from Linhai Station to the scenic area costs 30 yuan! Don't take unlicensed taxis, Didi (ride-hailing service) will get you to Ziyang Street for 15 yuan! 2️⃣ Amazing Bus Deal: Route 218 "Tourist Special Line" goes directly to the foot of the Great Wall for 2 yuan, frequent service and air conditioning! 3️⃣ Caution with Children: Some sections of the Taizhou City Wall are steep, strollers are not recommended!

A light down jacket + Hanfu-style coat will make for amazing photos in the ancient city! ▪️ Fun Fact: The combined ticket for the Jiangnan Great Wall is only 65 yuan, including Donghu Lake! 20 yuan cheaper than buying tickets separately! ▪️ Off-Peak Tips: On weekends, the queues at the Nuojiji (sticky rice dumpling) snack shops can be as long as an hour. It's recommended to go on a weekday afternoon! Linhai is truly a paradise for Nuojiji lovers! Low prices and a slow pace of life; I'm already thinking of retiring here and living here permanently! 💖 #LinhaiTourism #TaizhouLinhai #HolidayGetaway #RelaxingDestinations #PlaceYourWeChatFriendsAreAskingAbout
