#mountainview After encountering several reposts of drone shots of the Ruyi bridge on IG, I found out that Unitravel, a travel agency based in Hangzhou, was offering trips to to Shenxianju scenic spot. A bunch of friends and I signed up and we were not disappointed at all! We chose to take the cable car and only walked a bit to find escalators taking us further up. That was something none of us have seen before, definitely not on a mountain! We spotted a nice area with chairs and tables, surrounded by a few shops, where we sat and had our own packed lunches. We crossed two bridges before finally spotting the Ruyi bridge. I went to several glass bridges before and that one was indeed, the most impressive. While following the pathway, you’ll come across shops selling beverages and snacks. Fresh air & mountain views, a great combo for a getaway from the city! We walked in the sun for hours and were too exhausted to descend on foot. We chose to take the cable car again. There was a massive queue and we had to wait for an hour. #mountains#mountaintop#mountainescape#mountaingetaway#zhejiang#bridge#grouptour#travelstories#travelstories

I first spotted this bridge on @beautifuldestinations and immediately added it onto my bucket list. Being the solo traveler that I am; I planned a trip on my own even after noticing that getting there isn’t as efficient. Luckily, the @trip apartment I booked was only 5 minutes walking distance to the scenic area ticket sales office (Shenxianju tourist transfer center). At the scenic area, there’s a cable way option(not free) for people who aren’t necessarily there for hiking but rather the bridge itself or the greenery. After getting off the cable way there’s an outdoor escalator and as soon as you take that step off, that’s when the real hiking begins. Long story short; by the time I got to the bridge I was so exhausted I just took a few pictures, flew my drone and started hiking back to the Cableway. #hiking#nationalpark#urbanexplorer

The seafarer talks about Yingzhou, but the truth is hard to find in the misty waves. The Yue people talk about Tianmu Mountain, and the clouds and mist that flicker may be seen. Tianmu Mountain stretches across the sky, its might surpasses the Five Mountains and covers Chicheng. This is Li Bai's vivid description of Mount Tianmu in his poem "Dreaming of Wandering on Tianmu Mountain and Chanting a Farewell Poem", and Mount Tianmu is today's "Shenxianju". Shenxianju is located in Baita Town, Xianju County, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is famous for its volcanic rhyolite landforms and has "the depth of Tiantai and the strangeness of Yandang". The scenic area is known as the "abode of immortals" for its strange peaks, cliffs, plank roads, ancient bridges and sea of ​​clouds. We entered from the south gate, took the Nantian Cableway directly to the halfway point of the mountain, and then took the escalator to the Nantian Peak. We had a sense of exhilaration as if we were soaring into the sky, as if we had really become gods riding on the clouds. [South Zenith Observation Deck] is 869 meters above sea level. Standing on the fully transparent glass platform, you can overlook the misty canyon and experience "walking in the clouds". [Buddha's Shadow and Lotus Melody] is the best camera position for taking photos with Guanyin Peak. There is also a hidden camera position in the northwest corner of the observation deck, where you can take photos of Guanyin Peak and the sea of ​​clouds at the same time in the early morning. You can visit the Lotus Platform along the high-altitude plank road, where the glass lotus is particularly unique in shape. There is also the internet-famous Ruyi Bridge, which is shaped like a jade ruyi. The fully transparent bridge deck is thrilling and spectacular when viewed from the air. The transportation here is also very convenient, and you can choose to drive or take the high-speed rail. It only takes 3 hours to drive from Hangzhou, and 1 hour by renting a car from Taizhou West Station. Search for "Shenxianju South Gate Parking Lot" or "North Gate Parking Lot" on the navigation. You can take the high-speed rail to "Xianju South Station" or "Xianju Station", and then transfer to the scenic area special shuttle bus. Shenxianju was rated as "the last secret place in Jiangnan" by National Geographic China. Take an exploration trip this Spring Festival to add some fairy spirit to the new year. I wish you all your wishes come true in 2025!

#2024Travel Review Today, we came to the most anticipated attraction in Taizhou - Shenxianju. The beautiful scenery here is breathtaking, making us feel the wonderful charm of nature. Shenxianju in Taizhou is indeed a tourist destination, with surprises in every corner. We stood on the observation deck and looked ahead. A cliff stood before us, shaped like a flag and a sail. This is the famous "Sailing in the North Sea" landscape. Although there was no thick fog that day and it lacked a sense of mystery, we could appreciate the grandeur of the mountain more clearly. #Mainland China Attractions #Taizhou #Shenxianju #China #Zhejiang Province

| Low-key but with a rich history. 🌟 Taizhou is a city with a long history and rich culture, with many natural and cultural attractions. Taizhou is also a vibrant modern city. 🌟 I went to Taizhou because Xianju is so famous. At night, I went to Ziyang Street and climbed the Taizhou City Wall. It was so beautiful, so I drove from Shanghai to Taizhou in about four hours for a spontaneous trip. Here is my itinerary: Day 1⃣️ Explore Xianju, which is famous for its peaks and waterfalls. It's great for taking the elevator up the mountain for a relaxing time. Must-see attractions include Foying Lianyun, Lianhuatai, and Ruyiqiao. Wear bright colors for the best photos. Xianju Scenic Area has many natural wonders, so take a day to enjoy the beauty of the mountains and rivers. Day 2⃣️ Climb the Taizhou City Wall, which was built during the Ming Dynasty by Qi Jiguang to resist the Japanese. It is more than 6,000 meters long and is known as the "Badaling of Jiangnan." Climb the Taizhou City Wall for a great view of the ancient city. 🌃 In the afternoon and evening, stroll along Ziyang Street, a historic street with many old shops and local snacks. 😋 Ziyang Street is brightly lit at night and has a unique charm. Try local snacks such as seaweed cakes and plum blossom cakes to experience Taizhou's food culture.

Shenxianju Scenic Area, just by hearing the name, you can imagine the beautiful scenery. When you visit, it is indeed true. Shenxianju is located in Taizhou, Zhejiang. There are many ancient villages nearby. Shenxianju is a mountain view. Along the mountain path, you can see different scenery from different positions and angles, as the saying goes, "a different view with every step." A Ruyi Bridge is built between two mountains. The bridge is grand and magnificent. Walking on the top of the bridge, there is an abyss under your feet, which is quite exciting. This bridge is fashionable and modern, convenient, and expensive. However, I personally think it is a bit out of place with the natural scenery. The symbol of Shenxianju is a solitary peak called Guanyin Peak. Maybe I took the wrong angle, and I didn't capture the appearance of Guanyin, but instead, I captured the tall and majestic feeling, which is another kind of beauty. Guanyin Peak is surrounded by flat mountains, like all living beings, but this peak is unique and independent, which is very special. Traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books.

After New Year's Day, I took my parents to Xianju for a visit. It was really great. It is very worth coming, but it is recommended to make a strategy in advance, and share it with you as follows. 📍How to get there If you are not driving to Xianju, you usually take the train to Xianju South Station. After arriving at the station, there are two ways to go to Xianju. Method 1-Take a taxi, but you need to pay attention to whether to go to the south gate entrance or the north gate entrance of the scenic spot, the two gates are far apart. This time I started to visit the scenic spot from the south gate, and the taxi fare was about 60 yuan. (If there are elderly people, it is recommended to go to the south gate, the road will be relatively flat, you can also check the official account of Xianju, there is a recommended browsing route) 2-There is a minibus on the right hand side of the train station to take you to Xianju Passenger Station, and then take the passenger minibus from Xianju to Xianju. You need to calculate the time, the passenger minibus departs on time and at 30 minutes. So once you delay, you have to wait for half an hour. The ticket price is 6 yuan per person. The passenger minibus goes to the north gate, not the south gate. 🚉Travel guide: Since I went with my parents this time, I chose the route from the south gate to the north gate, as follows: Arrive at the south gate of the scenic spot - take the cableway up the mountain (65 per person) - take the Nantian Ladder (escalator) to the Nantian Top (here you need an additional 99 yuan per person, no discount for the elderly) - take the elevator down - go to the Buddha Shadow Lotus Rhyme (Internet celebrity check-in point) - Laojuntai - Pantao Garden - Ruyi Bridge - North Gate Cableway down the mountain It takes about 2.5 hours in the scenic area. Basically, there is no climbing up and down, which is suitable for the elderly. 👍Most recommended: You must check in at the Buddha Shadow Lotus Rhyme, it is really great, and you can see very beautiful scenery all the way along this journey, and the road is also very flat, it is really great. 📝Note tips: It should be noted that after getting off the cableway from the north gate, you have to walk nearly 1.5 kilometers to reach the gate of the scenic spot. There are also scenery on this road, and it is good to walk. If you don't walk, you can also choose a shuttle bus for 10 yuan per person to take you to the gate of the scenic spot. In addition, you can also choose to take a taxi to the train station or take a minibus to Xianju Station at the gate of the north gate of the scenic spot, which is also 6 yuan every 30 minutes. In addition, if you enter from the north gate and exit from the south gate, you can take a taxi back to the city directly from the south gate, or you can take a shuttle bus to the north gate. The overall transportation is still very convenient.

In the embrace of the earth, there is a dreamlike resort hidden - Shenxianju. Known in ancient times as Tianmu Mountain, it attracts countless people who yearn for beauty with its unique volcanic rhyolite landform and rich and diverse natural landscapes. When you step into Shenxianju, you feel like you are in a mysterious world carefully carved by nature. There are thousands of peaks in various shapes. Some are like sharp swords piercing the sky, some are like graceful fairies, and some are like crouching tigers ready to pounce. These mountains have shown unique charm and appeal after years of baptism. In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on this land, wisps of mist rise from the valley, like a dream. The mountain peaks are looming in the mist, like beautiful buildings in a fairyland. As the sunlight gradually became stronger, the mist slowly dissipated, and the true appearance of the mountain gradually became clear. The magnificent scene made people marvel at the wonders of nature. Shenxianju has the world's largest natural Guanyin statue, which seems to be a special gift from nature to this land. It stands quietly in the mountains, kind and solemn, bringing spiritual comfort and tranquility to people. Standing in front of the statue of Guanyin and gazing up at its majestic figure, a feeling of awe arises in my heart. The scenic area has the characteristics of "the depth of Tiantai and the strangeness of Yandang" and is known as "sacred mountains and beautiful waters". The mountains and rivers here are interdependent and set off each other, forming a series of beautiful paintings. The mountain stream is crystal clear, gurgling as it flows, and the water splashes on the rocks, making crisp and pleasant sounds. The flowers, plants and trees along the stream are lush and colorful, adding infinite vitality and vigor to this landscape. Shenxianju is also the original statue of Mount Tianmu in Li Bai's poem "Dreaming of Wandering on Mount Tianmu and Chanting a Farewell Poem". The romance and fantasy in the poem seem to be truly reflected in this land. When you stroll through it, it seems as if you are sleepwalking with Li Bai, feeling the fantastic scenes and heroic feelings. It is worth mentioning that the mountain climbing journey to Shenxianju can be described as "painless". Complete mountaineering facilities and reasonable route planning allow visitors to enjoy the beautiful scenery in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere without having to endure excessive fatigue. Along the way, you can breathe the fresh air, listen to the birds singing, and enjoy the wonderful time of close contact with nature. Shenxianju is a precious treasure bestowed by nature on mankind. It attracts people to explore, feel and indulge with its unique charm. Here, you can forget the troubles of the world and find inner tranquility and peace. You might as well find an opportunity to walk into Shenxianju and start your own fantasy journey to wonderland.

The 2024 Xianju International Slackline Competition is here! When the athletes move gracefully on the slackline, the thrilling scene and the beautiful mountains and rocks behind them complement each other, creating a stunning dynamic picture. Walking along the winding plank road, you will see various giant rocks, and the Guanyin Peak stands tall in the distance. Every photo you take here is a masterpiece. Come to Xianju to enjoy the spectacular scenery and watch the competition. Feel the thrill and visual shock. This trip is definitely worth it!

Ticket: Free Most people know that people from Xianju and those born in the Year of the Dragon can enter for free, but actually, you can also enter for free on Fridays. 555 free tickets are released every Thursday at 10 am. Set an alarm and get your tickets easily. Xianju Tourism Group - Bottom right corner online YD - Ticket YD - Xianju Ticket YD - Crazy Friday Transport: Exit Xianju South Station and turn right to find the Z11 bus (see picture X for departure times). The bus is free and takes 20 minutes to reach the bus station. Enter the Intercity Bus Terminal on the left and take a bus to Xianju (departs on the hour and half hour). The bus takes 50 minutes and costs CNY 6 to reach the North Gate of the scenic area. There is a shuttle bus between the North Gate, Visitor Center, and South Gate, which costs CNY 5. Buy a ticket before boarding. Route: North Gate - South Gate, CNY 5 shuttle bus, stops at the Visitor Center, takes about 25 minutes South Gate - Lotus Terrace, 3 km walk, about 1.5 hours, with three flat sections, the last 840 m uphill is the hardest The Lotus Terrace is already on the mountain. If the weather is good, go counterclockwise to take photos at the Buddha Shadow Lotus Rhyme. If you encounter foggy weather like me, you can go clockwise and leave the Buddha Shadow Lotus Rhyme until last. I recommend going counterclockwise because there are fewer uphill sections. Counterclockwise: Lotus Terrace → Wangfeng Terrace → Hongmeng Bridge → Taiji Terrace → Qingyun Ladder → Wolong Bridge → Yuanmeng Bridge → Ruyi Bridge → Niubei Building → Pantao Garden → Buddha Shadow Lotus Rhyme → Nantian Ladder (escalator) up → Nantian Top → Nantian Bridge → Down the mountain Note: 1. You need to know the local names of the three important stations in Xianju. Xianju Station is called the high-speed rail station by locals, Xianju Bus Station is called the bus station by locals, and Xianju South Station is called the train station by locals. 2. In winter, the scenic area closes the North Gate hiking and mountain top middle line, so you can only hike up and down the South Gate. Even if you take the cable car up and down, I recommend walking a loop. The pure play time on the mountain is about 2-3 hours, and queuing for the Buddha Shadow Lotus Rhyme takes time. 3. I personally think the best natural scenery in the scenic area is from Hongmeng Bridge to Wolong Bridge, with ups and downs, very spectacular.

The rumor that climbing Xianju Mountain is not tiring is false, but the super long escalator is indeed labor-saving, and the scenery is indeed beautiful! If you choose to enter from the south gate, take the cable car up the mountain, visit Foying Lianyun, Nantian Ladder, and Nantian Top, this route is almost free of climbing and walking, but you will miss too many beautiful sceneries! We took the south up and south down (big circle) route. Enter from the south gate, take the cable car up the mountain, visit Foying Lianyun, turn left and return, visit Laojuntai, Pantao Garden, Dasheng Mansion, Niubei Building, Ruyi Bridge, Ruyi Pavilion, Yuemeng Bridge, Wolong Bridge, Taibai Building, Tianmu Building, Bagua Platform, Wentian Pavilion, Hongmeng Bridge, Wangfeng Platform, Lotus Platform, Nantian Bridge, Nantian Top, Nantian Ladder (escalator), take the cable car down the mountain, and exit from the south gate. This route includes most of the highlights, and it takes about 4 hours for adults to walk. If you have enough time and energy, you can consider it. PS: We took this route, and the scenery was beautiful! But we had to walk a lot, which was a bit difficult with kids. Laojuntai has many steps to climb, so don't go up if you are not physically fit! It does not affect the next attractions. Nantian Top requires an extra fee, CNY 88 per person, CNY 169 for a package, and it is a glass plank road. I think it is worth it, so choose according to your needs. There is also a cafe on the top, which tastes good and is quite expensive, but you can sit in the cafe and rest, and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery. Foying Lianyun is super beautiful for taking photos, but you need to wait in a long line if you want to take photos of people, so we didn't line up. There is also a lazy route (small circle) for south up and south down, a special forces walking route for south up and north down, and a leisure travel route for south up and north down. You can search for specific routes online and choose the one that suits you according to your actual situation! The scenery of Xianju Mountain is still super beautiful! The climbing routes are also clearly marked. There are many supermarkets and rest stops along the way, so you can buy more water, and there is a restaurant near Nantian Top. The bridges on the mountain are all very distinctive, such as Ruyi Bridge, Nantian Bridge, Yinyuan Bridge, Wolong Bridge, Hongmeng Bridge... If you have enough energy, you can visit them all~
