athena_cordeliawillowdale Zhejiang's super niche attractions, there's really a different world inside!
Taizhou Wenling, a travel destination that dazzles at first sight! Not only does it boast a wealth of tourist resources, but also delicious seafood and snacks, making it an absolute go-to spot for weekend outings for friends from nearby cities! 👏
This time, following a travel blogger, I specifically visited an off-the-beaten-path but charming 4A scenic area. Who would have thought that a thousand-year-old mining site could transform into a picturesque spot? From the outside, it just looks like an ordinary mountain, but once you step inside the cave, it's a whole different world! 😮
The rock carvings and murals on the cave walls are exquisitely detailed, as if telling the stories of ancient wisdom and craftsmanship. The winding and twisting maze inside the cave is mesmerizing, making you feel as if you're in a mysterious world. Standing in the vast cavern, one can't help but feel small, yet at the same time, awestruck by the magnificent scenery. 🌄
📍The location is in the Changyu Dongtian Shuangmen Dong Scenic Area in Wenling, Taizhou, Zhejiang. The joint ticket is only 110 yuan, including 4 caves and the Panda Pavilion, which is a great deal! 🎫
The business hours are from 8 am to 4:30 pm, with a playing time of about 2 hours, which is enough for you to fully appreciate the beauty here. ⏰
However, it should be noted that this place may not be very suitable for older seniors and very young children, so pay special attention when bringing family members. 👨👩👧👦
If you are driving here, just navigate to the Changyu Dongtian Shuangmen Dong Scenic Area Visitor Center, which is very convenient! 🚗 If you are using public transportation, it's also very convenient to take a taxi from the high-speed rail Wenling Station, as the transportation here is very accessible. 🚄
Changyu Dongtian
Changyu Dongtian Scenic Area covers a total area of 16.18 square kilometers, located in the Changyu area of Xinhai Town, Wenling, consisting of the Baxianyan, Shuangmendong, Chongguo Temple, and Yeshan, four major scenic spots. In 2002, it was rated as a national AAAA-level tourist area.
In 2007, it was listed by the Ministry of Construction's Scenic Area Management Office as one of the top ten most distinctive scenic spots in China. The Fangshan-Changyu Dongtian Scenic Area, with a total area of 26.06 square kilometers, is based on the ancient volcanic crater geomorphology, characterized by the sheer cliffs of Fangshan volcanic rock plateau and the Dongtian stone culture formed by artificial mining over thousands of years. It features precipitous cliffs, strange peaks and deep valleys, cascading waterfalls and streams, and Dongtian scenery. It is a mountainous and rocky scenic area that combines grandeur, danger, and beauty, integrating nature with culture, and serves functions for scientific research, science popularization, sightseeing, and leisure.
Changyu Dongtian | Come and see the world of jianghu in Jin Yong's martial arts novels
Come and see the world of jianghu in Jin Yong's martial arts novels. Changyu Dongtian is a landscape left behind after the artificial mining of slates since the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Although not naturally formed, the traces left by human activities are also considered to be the essence of Chinese stone culture, unique in the world. With a history of over 1500 years, it is a unique scenery in our country. Being there, one feels the insignificance of oneself. Among them, Guanxi Dongtian has 348 cave bodies, which are the largest cave group left by thousands of years of mining. It is deep and winding, majestic and dangerous, and is a very worthwhile sight to see.
⚠️ It is very necessary to take the sightseeing car because the joint ticket is purchased, which makes it more convenient to play a round.
🎟Ticket price: 20 yuan💰/person
Sightseeing car route:
Shuangmen Dongtian Scenic Area (Tourist Center) - Guanxi Dongtian (worth seeing) - Panda Pavilion - Shuiyun Dongtian (worth seeing) - Shuangmen Grottoes - Tourist Center
📝TIPS:
The best way to play is to follow the sightseeing car route, because there is a very high and steep staircase at Shuiyun Dongtian. After coming up the stairs from Shuiyun Dongtian, continue walking forward to reach the Shuangmen Grottoes. From Shuangmen Grottoes to the direction of the sightseeing car, you have to go down several hundred steps, so if you play in reverse, it will be a bit tiring.
There is a post office at the entrance of Guanxi Dongtian where you can send postcards, and there are stamps to stamp (sent one to myself and received it!)
There is a concert hall in Guanxi Dongtian, performance times: first show 10:00-10:30, second show 13:30-13:50, third show 14:30-14:50, fourth show 15:30-15:50, where you can experience natural surround sound.
"The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "The Deer and the Cauldron" were filmed at Shuiyun Dongtian. There is a Changyu stone here, which is a volcanic tuff rock formed over a hundred million years ago during the Mesozoic era after a volcanic eruption.
Shuangmen Grottoes, no photography allowed inside.
At the entrance, there is Panlongtan, where children can play in the water, and there are small goldfish to catch.
⚠️Avoid Pitfalls⚠️
Do not take the Guanxi Dongtian boat
The interior area is very small, the ticket price is 40 yuan💰/person/half hour, and it takes less than half an hour to finish, which is not cost-effective and delays the play time.
📍Address: Zhenghe Road, Changyu Town, Wenling City, Taizhou (south side of Taizhou Bay)
🎟Ticket: Shuangmen Dongtian + Guanxi Dongtian + Shuiyun Dongtian + Shuangmen Grottoes + Panda Pavilion, joint ticket 120 yuan💰(tickets for each attraction can also be purchased separately)
⏰: 8:00—17:00
Ancient Wonders - Changyu Dongtian
Today, I visited Changyu Dongtian in Wenling and was deeply astonished. Upon entering the cave, a cool breeze greets you, a creation from over 1500 years ago, carved by hand from rock, forming bizarre and uniquely shaped caverns. In that era, what else but human labor was there, devoid of machinery and high technology? One can only imagine the ancient people's manual labor, hammering and chiseling day after day, to create these meandering paths and lifelike cave formations. It's impossible not to marvel at the wisdom and the superb craftsmanship of the ancients. Each cave ingeniously blends with the surrounding flora and natural scenery, forming a seamless ecological landscape, no wonder it's named as if it was naturally formed by heaven! Unexpectedly, a casually chosen scenic spot turned out to be more captivating and impressive than those deliberately selected. In my opinion, this is the most beautiful, most peculiar, most spectacular, and most awe-inspiring tourist attraction in Taizhou!
Zhejiang Cultural and Tourism Bureau, you are confused for not promoting this place!
Thank you Taizhou Cultural and Tourism Bureau for not promoting this place
So I can enjoy it alone, I really like that there are fewer people here

👉Best visiting route (no turning back)
Huanxi Cave - Panda Pavilion (worth visiting for children, adults might find it less interesting) - Shuangmen Grottoes - Shuangmen Cave - Shuiyun Cave - Jingming Cave
👉Points I personally find impressive
✅Shuangmen Grottoes
An entire mountain hollowed out, climbing to the top for an overview is very shocking and magnificent, those who are afraid of heights should be cautious, inside the cave there is also a 100-meter-long sculpture of the Shanxi Yongle Palace's Chaoyuan Picture, lifelike
✅Shuiyun Cave
Composed of 52 caves, most of them are large-scale bell-shaped sites from modern mining, inside is the largest cave museum in China, and have both been filmed here
✅Jingming Cave
A free place, with many Buddha statues, within the Changyu Dongtian scenic area, no need to go out of your way, relatively small
There is also a Huanxi Cave, which you can't enter after 16:30, I didn't manage to go in to see, there are rock cave concerts inside🎭.
⚠️
1️⃣We bought a ticket package for five attractions, the price is a bit expensive, you can also buy them separately, you need to go to the ticket office, Shuangmen Grottoes, Shuiyun Cave, Huanxi Cave are worth visiting, after entering the main gate, each attraction will check tickets separately, and the visiting time cannot be later than 16:30.

Look at the opposite of Changyuyutian from Baiyun Temple. Although there is nothing special about the appearance, it will make you marvel at the magic of nature.
This is a long scroll of human history with a knife and axe. From the beginning of the Jin Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the pen is a sway, it is the time and space of the millennium. The ancestors of Wenling relied on wisdom and courage to create the embryos of Haotian.
Changyuyutian is located in the south wing of the Yangtze River Delta, southeast of Wenling City, south of Zhejiang Taizhou Bay.
Due to the dramatic changes in paleoclimate, the multiple turbulence of the sea surface, and the rise and fall of neotectonic movements, the Quaternary in the Tianshan Mountains and the plains of Changyu Island have great differences in lithology, genesis and thickness. .
Into the Changyu Haotian, the main thing is to visit the quarry cave and the overall orientation of the mountain.
The body, the water, the cloister, put it in, feel the rocky scenery here, listen to the echoes in this mountain.
The evening is narrow and the entrance is suddenly clear. A pool of Biquan is covered with a winding bridge with a twisting ring. The bridge has a stone carving big pearl, which is named after the Mingqu Pearl Bridge.
All the way, the bamboo, the color of the mountain is different due to the erosion of water. If it is during the summer flood season, the amount of water will be much larger and it will be much cooler.
Changyu Haotian is located in Wenling Mountain, facing the sea in three faces, Yueqing Bay in the west and Taizhou City in the north. Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a total of 28 scorpions and 1314 scorpions have been formed. The largest and most magnificent group is Guan Xi, which contains 348 carcasses with an area of 53,800 square meters and a volume of 1,312,100 cubic meters.
The nickname of "Xianxi Cave" comes from the famous sculptor Qian Shaowu, and the majestic masters bring their own style. Since ancient times, the nobles have had a lot of troubles. I didnt expect to see this eve as a valuable person. Under the cloud, the smog in the rain and rain adds a bit of celestial sensation. The clouds float in the rain outside the cave, and the drip in the cave is like a fairy.
