The ancients truly did not deceive me; the Tiantai Mountain in Li Bai's poems is indeed extraordinary

Taizhou is truly a treasure of Zhejiang 😍! Xu Xiake praised Tiantai Mountain endlessly in his travel notes, and Li Bai even ascended it twice, leaving behind the eternal verse 'Unwilling to stay in the dragon tower and phoenix pavilion, I soar straight to Tiantai Mountain.' If you have 1 day, you can arrange it like this【Guoqing Temple (5A) + Tiantai Mountain Waterfall】 Go to Guoqing Temple in the early morning to experience that sense of Zen and tranquility🧘‍. After experiencing the temple's vegetarian meal at noon, head to the Tiantai Mountain Waterfall to personally witness the spectacular sight of 'the waterfalls cascading down three thousand feet'💦 🚩How to get there (departing from Shanghai) 🚄High-speed train: G7503 Hongqiao Station - Tiantai Mountain (8:03 - 9:59) 🚗Self-driving: About 3.5h drive from Shanghai to Taizhou ✅【Guoqing Temple】This is an ancient temple from the Sui Dynasty, with a history of over 1400 years! 🎫Ticket: Free, and it is a 5A-level scenic spot ⏰Visiting duration: 2h 🚩Must-see highlights: Ancient Sui Dynasty temple, Sui pagoda, Sui plum 【Ancient Sui Dynasty temple】: Serene and simple, filled with the unique charm of a deep mountain ancient temple😌 【Sui pagoda】: You can see it as soon as you enter, six sides and nine levels, looking at the thousand-year-old Sui pagoda from afar, the scene is extremely beautiful🌟 【Sui plum】: Located on the east side of the Great Buddha Hall, planted by a high monk of the Sui Dynasty, it is one of the three oldest plum trees in the country🤩 📍From Guoqing Temple to Tiantai Mountain Waterfall, it's about 8 kilometers, a 15min drive ✅【Tiantai Mountain Waterfall】 The waterfall has a drop of 325 meters, known as 'China's No. 1 high waterfall'❗The waterfall has a total of 9 levels, and the entire viewing process involves climbing up the stairs alongside the waterfall, with the waterfall close at hand and the spray splashing, be sure to bring a waterproof jacket or raincoat🌂 🎫Ticket Tiantai Mountain Waterfall: 100r Joint ticket: Waterfall + Huixian Bridge Glass Bridge + Qiongtai Xiangu: 165r ⏰Visiting duration 1⃣Just visiting the waterfall + Shuiliandong return (without going to the top) 1.5 - 2h 2⃣Just visiting the waterfall + going to the top, about 3h 3⃣Full journey with joint ticket: Waterfall + Huixian Bridge Glass Bridge + Qiongtai Xiangu, the whole journey 4 - 5h ❗PS: 1⃣If you have enough time, it is recommended to climb to the top🌳. After reaching the top, if you bought the joint ticket, you can directly cross the Huixian Bridge to the Qiongtai Xiangu scenic area to descend. If you only bought the waterfall ticket, you can either return the same way or take a bus (10r/person) down the mountain 2⃣If you're short on time, you can just visit the waterfall and return the same way to Shuiliandong 3⃣It is said that Tiantai Mountain Waterfall was originally a natural waterfall, but after the construction of a reservoir, the water source was diverted, and now the water is drawn from the reservoir. It operates daily from 9:00 - 16:30, and closes on time😂 4⃣The last entry time for the park is 15:00 5⃣Drones can capture the full view of the waterfall, which is super spectacular🤳
