Shitang Town

Shitang Town is an ancient fishing town characterized by its stone architecture, often referred to as the town in a painting. Clusters of stone houses are built against the mountain and face the sea, stacked layer upon layer; in the past, they attracted many painters and writers to stay and sketch. The ancestors of the local residents mostly migrated from the coast of Fujian, and to this day, they still retain the Minnan dialect and Minnan customs, while the fishing port continues to exude a strong fishing village atmosphere. When visiting, you will see stone houses, stone streets, stone alleys, and stone steps spreading along the mountain, forming an architectural layout where the houses seem to grip the mountain, and the mountain embraces the houses. Multi-story stone fortress buildings are constructed by stacking rectangular stones layer by layer, with gun slits and lookout ports still visible on the walls. At 6:46 AM on January 1, 2000, the first rays of the new millennium's dawn in the Chinese mainland shone on Shitang. The Millennium Dawn Monument, built to commemorate this moment, stands in the center of Dawn Park. Two opposing monument pillars rise high, resembling two open doors or raised sails, and the viewing platform next to the monument can be used to watch the sunrise over the sea. The area also preserves fishing village customs such as the Dazou Drum, the Children's Festival, and the Kangtaige parade, showcasing a fishing culture with distinct Minnan characteristics.Wenling · 26.1 km from downtown

Changyu Caves are an excellent summer retreat, offering natural coolness without the need for air conditioning. The massive caves are masterpieces of nature, with unique play of light and shadow. A stroll through them is refreshing and pleasant, with unique scenery and not too crowded, making it a perfect summer outing and a rare natural karst cave paradise.

Xiaoruo Village is located in Shitang Town, Wenling City, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is a small fishing village on the sea full of romance and is known as China's "Five Fishing Villages". 🏷️• Transportation: It is recommended to drive there. There is a parking lot on the island, but there are not many parking spaces. Try to avoid it during holidays. It takes about 15 minutes to climb to the top of the mountain. It is recommended to reach the top of the mountain before sunset! 🏷️• Tickets: Free to visit, no need to buy tickets. • Tour time: May-October every year. • Tour route: Colorful Xiaoruo Village-Duijie Viewing Platform-Coastal Greenway-Pearl Beach. • Surrounding attractions: Duijie Viewing Platform, Golden Beach, Coastal Greenway, Jiuquchengtou, Dongxia Beach. The colorful houses in Xiaoruo Village are real. It is recommended to go there on a sunny day‼ ️. If the weather is good, you can take pictures easily.

The scenery in the scenic area was decent, but unfortunately, there was fog, which affected visibility. Also, the signs in the scenic area weren't very clear; they disappeared after a while. Compared to many famous mountains in Zhejiang, this place is only average.

There is no charge for the wedding platform. You can drive down the mountain and climb the stairs for a while. You can see the sea and sky as one, and enjoy the breeze by the sea. It was drizzling when we went there, but if it is a sunny day, the sunrise and sunset should be beautiful.

Traveling to the East China Sea, Shitang in Wenling is the first place in mainland China to welcome the dawn of the millennium. It is also a colorful world and the first place where the first ray of dawn of the new millennium and the new century first shines on mainland China. Shitang in Wenling, Taizhou Bay, is in the mountain valley of Shitang with a radius of four or five square kilometers. It is full of stone buildings with the style of "houses biting mountains and mountains hugging houses". Some are neatly overlapped, while others are abrupt. They are grouped in threes and fives, with an orderly height and a strong sense of rhythm, forming a group of stone sculptures facing the wind and waves, full of masculinity.

Beach camping is very good, but it is not easy to walk down with your stuff on your back, it requires physical strength, and there is a lack of running water.
