How to travel conveniently and quickly between Tiantai Mountain and Xiantai?

After returning from a trip to Tiantai Mountain and the abode of immortals, I feel great. Tiantai Mountain is the birthplace of the Tiantai Zen sect, and throughout history, many literati and poets have flocked here, leaving behind countless poems. Li Bai's verse 'Unwilling to stay in the dragon tower and phoenix palace, I soar straight to Tiantai Mountain' vividly embodies the strong attraction of Tiantai Mountain to the 'Poet Immortal'. Currently, the Tiantai County government is developing its tourism industry around the concept of the 'Road of Tang Poetry'. With the Hangzhou-Tai high-speed railway opening last year, Tiantai has entered the high-speed rail era. Tiantai County has set up a bus service from the high-speed rail station directly to the county's visitor center and bus station, with a fare of only one yuan. From the visitor center, there are direct buses to various famous scenic spots in Tiantai, which are very user-friendly and convenient. It is recommended to make the Tiantai Waterfall the last stop in the Tiantai Mountain scenic area. You can take a tourist bus directly from the visitor center to the entrance of the scenic spot. Before entering the scenic area, pay attention to the timetable of the tourist bus to Tiantai Mountain high-speed rail station. After visiting, the bus will take you directly to the high-speed rail station, which is extremely convenient. The bus driver said that as long as you follow the timetable, even if there is only one person, the bus will still run. Indeed, our bus only had us, an old couple. Currently, there is no high-speed rail from Tiantai to Xianju County, but there is a dedicated bus service with two trips each day, and a one-way ticket costs 26 yuan. It is suggested to take the dedicated bus from Tiantai to Xianju, with two trips each day. You can arrange your own time. After arriving in Xianju County, find a hotel to settle down. It is not recommended to rush to visit the abode of immortals scenic area, as half a day feels too rushed. It is better to go up the mountain early the next day, leisurely, and the experience will be better. There are many buses from Xiantai to the abode of immortals scenic area (as shown in picture six), with many options, just be aware of the last bus down the mountain each day. The journey from Tiantai to Xianju takes less than two hours, and this section of the road (as shown in picture eight) is a delight to the eyes! The greening on both sides of the road is excellent, lush and dripping with greenery; the distant mountains meander, with clouds and mist like the traces of immortals, isn't this the place where immortals live? It's just that due to the dirty car windows and limited photography skills, I can't perfectly showcase the beautiful scenery outside the window, but this does not affect the visual enjoyment along the way. Indeed: beauty is everywhere in life, as long as you have the longing and love for a beautiful world, as long as you are good at discovering. Written in 2022, modified on 2024/02/16
