Free luggage storage, I'm grateful for this wise decision If you want to see something natural, you can go to Shiliang Waterfall, but it's much smaller.
Guoqing Temple
Lunch at the 【Sanmu Yuyu Food】 next to Guoqing Temple requires queuing. The rice fields in front of the temple are super healing . It is said that you can see different scenery throughout the four seasons.
A historic and quaint temple , where the traces of history are left on the mottled walls, is a place that calms the mind as soon as you enter.

There are many local specialty dishes, delicious and no waiting required for taking a number, the turnover is fast. Basically, no disappointments!

A 1-hour taxi ride from Tiantai to Ziyang Street.
Ziyang Street
Mainly featuring various snacks, if you enter from the Xingshan Gate, follow the order below, recommended as follows:
【18 RESERVA ROASTERY】 Coffee shop
Grass jelly coffee frozen latte
【Chen Ji Black Rice Mochi】
The sticky mochi filled with black sesame and red bean paste is delicious!
【Jiu Jiu Seaweed Cake】
The busiest shop on the whole street. Surprisingly, it's sweet and salty, I thought it would be salty, the crust is very crispy.
【Rongjia Snacks】
A snack shop under the Xinrongji brand. With air conditioning and the ability to order dishes, it's more suitable for resting. Recommended dishes: Steamed flat food (like dumplings, but with thinner skin and more filling, a Linhai specialty), Bai Shui Yang tofu, boneless phoenix claws, ginger stewed egg
【Fucheng Lu's Prawn】
Highly recommended by many, but the queue was too long so I didn't try it.
【Date Workshop】
The date bean cake is super fragrant
【Aunt Zhu's Egg White Sheep Tail】
Considered a specialty, worth a try. Egg white fried balls + air + black sesame filling combination
Taizhou Prefecture City Wall (5A scenic spot)
The Great Wall of the South , still worth a visit. Built during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it has a history of over a thousand years, mainly serving military defense and flood prevention purposes.
Adult 60, online 55 (after 16:30, online tickets for the same day cannot be purchased)
Monday to Sunday 7:00-18:00. Going at 4 pm is less sunny.
Route:
1. The closest to Ziyang Street is 【Xingshan Gate】, start from here and walk 【Xingshan Gate - Chaotian Gate - Lansheng Gate】 total duration 2 hours.
2. For the lazy, you can also just walk the essence route! :【Chaotian Gate - Lansheng Gate】 Difficulty: Moderate Duration: 1 hour
Recommended reason: The essential scenic spots are all along this section, passing through 1-8 enemy towers, Wangtian Platform, Chenghuang Temple, Baiyun Tower (the highest point)
The stairs at the entrance of Lansheng Gate are very high and steep, it is not recommended to start from Lansheng Gate. Exiting from Lansheng Gate, you can also see Dong Lake , and if you have enough time, you can go there directly to play.
Tiantai Mountain Waterfall Scenic Area is located in the western foot of the cypress Mountain in the rooftop. The total gap of the main waterfall is 325 meters, and the maximum width is 90 meters. It is a rare high-fall hydrophilic ladder waterfall group, which can be called the first high waterfall in China. The total area of the Great Falls Scenic Area 11.31 square kilometers includes the Great Falls Block, Jiulong Lake Block, Tongbai Palace Block, Qiongtai Xiangu Block, and several points through the viewing elevator, cable bridge, glass suspension bridge, Jinting Lake Huanhu Greenway and other string points, is a Rong Canyon Landscape, Waterfall Landscape, A large mountain-type scenic spot with hanging plank road, fashion experience and fairy road culture.
As soon as you enter, you can see the whole view of the waterfall. Just a few steps up the steps to the first photo position. You can get close contact with the waterfall! The stone is really slippery. Be careful to climb up for about 20 minutes. When you arrive at the water curtain hole, it is super good to take silhouettes. You can only take pictures from here and return to the mountain. We continue to climb to the top of the mountain. The scenery along the way is not bad! Looking down, you can see Qiongtai Xiangu and the green reservoir people can choose to take a sightseeing bus down the mountain (10r) after arriving at the top of the mountain, but Qiongtai Xiangu will not be allowed to enter after 4 pm, and the friends who want to go pay attention to the time ~
It rained for a few days in Taizhou. When I went up the mountain, the fog was very heavy and I couldn't see anything. Fortunately, the fog scattered a lot and I saw the beautiful scenery. The attractions and facilities are very good, but the tickets are very expensive, and the family will not have a thousand yuan to play.
Easy to book tickets and fast. The waterfall is spectacular, the water curtain cave is very good to take pictures, and the climbing road requires trekking poles and perseverance 😃. The grandfather of the scenic spot is very responsible. Seeing the old man, it is recommended to go to the waterfall first and then go to Qiongtai Xiangu according to physical strength. Personally feel that Qiongtai Xiangu has a buffer to climb the mountain, and it is convenient to climb the top, and then go from the top to the waterfall.
The waterfall is very shocking, the scenery is beautiful, the road in the scenic spot is very good, there are not many people, there is still smog to see when it is cold, parking at the door is also very convenient, not far from the city, the bus is very convenient.
The waterfall is worth coming and is spectacular. Although it is an artificial waterfall, it is still breathtaking and beautiful. There is a canteen on the way to the top of the mountain. The drinks and sausages are 10 yuan. It is best to bring some food in advance. The first half of the waterfall is very easy, and I don't feel tired until I walk to the water curtain hole. But the basic scenery behind the water curtain hole is average, and there are many stairs, the elderly at home decisively went down the mountain. We continued to climb up, thinking that we had reached the end when we could see the stairs. As a result, we walked more than 2,000 meters of the plank road to see the Huixian Bridge. It took more than two hours to climb. If you don't want to go to Huixian Bridge, you can take the bus directly to the right hand exit and go down the mountain, ten yuan per person. It is said that the Xianqiao past is Qiongtai Xiangu, we are exhausted physically, and finally decisively go down the mountain. So my suggestion is that the physical strength is not good, you can go down the mountain when you arrive at the water curtain hole, unless you want to play together Huixian Bridge and Qiongtai Xiangu, otherwise there is really no need to climb again, and the scenery that should be seen is almost the same.
The dart waterfall is very spectacular, and the mountain road is rugged and beautiful. On the top of the mountain, you can see the whole picture of Tiantai County. You can either return the same way or take the Jingjiao bus to the visitor center on the top of the mountain. The waterfall has a large amount of water in Jiangnan.
