Zhejiang's hidden island is absolutely beautiful! 😍 Regret not coming here earlier this year. 😭
☁️If you can't go to the Cinque Terre in Italy, Rio de Janeiro is too far away.
Let's go on a trip to Shitang, Wenling, Taizhou, Zhejiang!
.
☁️It's a seaside fishing village that my friend recommended to me in the summer of 2021. The sunset, candy-colored cottages, observation deck overlooking the mountains, sea, and city, as well as delicious seafood stalls and sticky rice cakes, will make your trip worthwhile!

▫️Sea water 🌊
Blue seas are relatively rare. Locals say that from April to May, there are not many fishing boats and the sea is slightly calm, making it the cleanest time of the year.
However, when I arrived at noon, the sun was shining brightly and it still looked very yellow to the naked eye; in the evening, the sidelight of the sunset turned the sea into blue, and I was stunned in an instant.

1: Sunset at the mountaintop: The most beautiful view is here. Overlooking the colorful fishing village under the sunset glow, take the path up the mountain behind "Tianhou Temple" on the navigation, and climb for about 15 minutes.
2: Ring observation platform: overlooking the sea of water and sky, the undulating coastline and the coastal road. There is a Tian Shan Hai Trail on the mountaintop here, which is also great for taking photos.
3: The beach. There are more people at Jinshatan Beach, and it's also charged. It's still recommended to go to Pearl Beach. Remember to prepare slippers in advance. The rocks on the beach are slippery and I wore Puxi Pudding slippers, which have good wrapping and rebound. It's great for summer hiking and beach photography.
4: Xiaoru Village: To be honest, it's not that great. There are a lot of smelly fishing boats, but you can come and take a photo. The "DO CAFE" on the mountaintop is run by the Little Prince.

▫️Accommodation🛖
Highlight: Don't stay in Xiaoruan Village! Go to Wuaolii in Haili Village, near the engagement platform. There is no fishy smell on the mountaintop. I stayed at the "Yaojia·Xingluo Haiye" homestay.

▫️Delicious food 🍝
Taizhou is the place where I grew up when I was a child! Haha, let me recommend a few favorites~
🔸"Embedded Cake", a super-sized dumpling made of rice cake, wrapped with rich ingredients, and topped with a spoonful of soulful meat sauce, absolutely amazing.
🔸Aged grandparents' boiled pork, Shitang meatballs, Dragon Beard porridge, and scallion buns are all good.
🔸You can go to "Xin Rong Ji", "Chun Fu Private Kitchen", and "Shi Tang Ren Jia" for dining out.

I strongly recommend this place. it’s not easy to get there if you don’t have a car but you can order a DiDi or walk for about 40 minutes up the mountain. The view is simply astonishing. There are 3 different stops alongs the way so you sit down and enjoy the view or take nice pictures. I loved it. No entrance fee check the weather before you go. so much better in a sunny day.
Zhejiang | Xiaoyu Village. Color, fishing village, beach, stone house, sunset Here is the Chinese version of the "Cinyu Village" located in Xiaoyu Village, Shitang, Wenling. The original stone houses were gradually replaced by jagged new houses. In order to protect the architectural style of the original stone houses, some houses were painted with exterior walls. The house was built on the hillside, and no one deliberately planned it. You can choose every fork road. The sun shines on the color of Xiaoyu Village during the day, and when the street lights turn on at night, the fishing boat lights are another night's sleep of the fishermen who sleep with the sound of waves.
Shitang is the first place to take a photo of the dawn of the millennium. The seafood here is particularly delicious and the island has a unique style. It is the first choice for Zhejiang Wenling tourism.
Very good, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
How can I not go to the beach in summer? This time I went to Shitang Town, Wenling, Taizhou! We are Zhejiang Jinhua driving to drop, the whole journey is about three and a half hours, there are 4 service areas on the way, the whole high-speed speed measurement is particularly much, you must pay attention! We set off in the morning, and we just checked in after we arrived. After a little rest, we decided to go to see the sunrise and play with the baby in the sand in the evening. The Jiejing viewing platform is the best choice for watching the sunset. It is recommended to drive to the mountain (with parking lot). You can navigate to [ Tinghai Inn ]. You can go below the viewing platform in 10 minutes. There are also walks, but it is not recommended. Pure climbing, plus the observation deck also needs to climb the ladder, it will be very tired! You can watch the sunset time before you go, and it is boring to wait on it! After watching the sunset, we came to the Pearl Beach, a 10-minute drive away. Tickets are free. Go inside and see the charging office of the sightseeing car. You can see the steps in front. You can go down. Because I went down the mountain after watching the sunset, it was late, and I couldn't take any photos. I planned to take a sightseeing bus the next day and go again. The tour bus is 30 yuan/person back and forth, "Golden Beach > Fishing Port", you can freely get on and off the bus on the way to buy a ticket, and you can call the ticket office to send a car to pick up and drop off if you can't wait for the bus on the way. No second fee will be charged.
