WEI XIAN JU

The location is easy to find and parking is convenient. The door is very nice and bright. The waiter is very enthusiastic in introducing the dishes. The dishes we ordered are all good. The taste is great. I will come again if I have the chance.

The small portion is big enough and tastes great. It is worth trying and can be recommended.

The food is generous, tasty, and the service is top notch. Highly recommended.

I guess there are many trolls. I came here because of the reputation, but the taste is average. The stone pot fish is all coated with flour, and the stone pot taro paste tastes average, not as good as what I make at home. Xianju Mai Lian sells a special name, which is fried bread. The only thing I think is acceptable is the fried kidney. Another negative comment is that the food is slow to serve. The price is high. Not cost-effective.

A detailed guide to Jingxingyan in autumn I. Key autumn highlights 1. Cloud-top terraced fields: From the mountaintop in October and November, the terraced fields of the village below are a vibrant expanse of golden color, interwoven with the verdant mountains and forests, creating a delicate miniature bonsai. In the lingering morning mist, the terraced fields and the sea of ​​clouds complement each other, creating a hazy and poetic scene. 2. Limited-time moon-gazing spectacle: As one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Xianju," on full-moon autumn nights, the Moon-gazing Terrace offers a spectacular spectacle of "Sky and Water in Harmony"—a bright moon rising in the east, reflected in the Moon-reflecting Pond, and ripples of emerald water as the mountain breeze passes through, creating a shimmering emerald scene of sky and water. 3. Secret cliff sea of ​​clouds: On clear mornings after rain, the 743-meter mountain is often enveloped by a sea of ​​clouds, like a giant ship anchored in the waves. The Moon-gazing Corridor offers an immersive experience of the majestic "being in the clouds." 4. Movie-Style Scenes: Filming location for the Hollywood film "The Forbidden Kingdom," where autumn red maples adorn the cliffs, recreating the film's "strange peaks concealing ancient charm" aesthetic. II. Must-See Spots & Photography Techniques - Moon-Watching Corridor: The world's longest alpine moon-viewing corridor. Photographed in the autumn afternoon with direct sunlight, the corridor's silhouette blends beautifully with the vibrantly colored mountains in the distance. In the evening, capture warm, glimpsed images of the sunset gilding the corridor's columns. - Observation Deck Overlooking the Winding Mountain Road: From the summit platform, the 18-bend winding road winds through the mountains like a ribbon, its autumn vegetation framing the road's vibrant edges. Drone aerial photography further enhances the beauty of its curves. - Jingju Temple Area: The open space adjacent to the temple offers expansive views, perfect for capturing tranquil images of the "ancient temple reflecting the autumn mountains." The atmosphere is captivating in the early morning mist. Wu Shilai Study Hall: A former study site for Ming Dynasty celebrities. The simple stone house stands out against the surrounding autumn trees, perfect for capturing ancient and culturally rich photos. Pairing it with scroll props makes for a truly stunning experience. III. Route Planning (2-3 hours for a relaxing stroll) Classic Small Loop (Recommended): Scenic Area Entrance → Climb 200 Steps → Take the Cliff Elevator (included in ticket) to the summit → Turn right to the Natural Scenic Area → Moon Viewing Terrace (for mountain views) → Ringing Rock → Return to the fork in the road → Turn left to the Cultural Area → Jingju Temple → Wu Shilai Study Hall → Slide down the mountain (optional: 35 yuan) or take the elevator back. Lazy Lay-Down Option: After reaching the summit, relax at the Moon Viewing Corridor, enjoy a cup of tea, and admire the sea of ​​clouds and terraced rice fields. Stay at the Moon Viewing Terrace in the evening to watch the sunset. This route eliminates unnecessary detours. IV. Practical Information - Tickets and Transportation: Adult tickets are 55 yuan (including round-trip cliff elevator rides), and the slide experience is 35 yuan. From Xianju South Station, take the high-speed rail to the scenic area via the scenic area bus (8 yuan/person) or a 40-minute taxi ride. If you're driving, refer to the "Jingxingyan Scenic Area" navigation. Traffic on the winding mountain road is restricted after 6:00 PM, so arrive before the restriction. - Best Time: 5:30 AM to 7:00 AM to chase the sea of ​​clouds (must stay at the mountaintop the day before), 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM to photograph the sunset over the terraced fields, and the nights around the 15th day of the lunar calendar are ideal for moongazing. - Pitfalls and Tips: The scenic area is small, so don't plan too much time. Dining options are limited, so bring your own food. Road closures may occur during typhoon season (July and August), so check the "Xianju News" website for availability before your trip. 5. Accommodation and Activities - Accommodation: For high-end accommodation, choose the Jingxingyan Hotel on the mountaintop, where you can see the mountains from the window and gaze at the stars from the stargazing platform at night. For value, choose a chain hotel in the county seat, a 25-minute drive away. For a more unique experience, choose the Yunxi Mountain Residence, where you can sleep under the stars in a cliff-side glass room, with breakfast and dinner included. - Dining: Near the scenic area, we recommend the Weixianju restaurant, where you can try the Xianju Eight Bowls, including pickled fish and pounded meat soup, for 60 yuan per person. In the county seat, try the Xianju Family Banquet, where you can enjoy mountain flavors such as sand garlic bean noodles and Shenxian chicken. - Activities: Shenxianju is only a 40-minute drive away, so you can arrange a two-day "Jingxingyan + Shenxianju" tour. In autumn, you can also stop by Paotan Ancient Town to try Xianju sesame cakes and buy Yong'an Creek dried fish. #CheckInAutumnLimitedColors #TaizhouTravel #TaizhouSurroundingTours #TaizhouWenlingTravelStrategy
