The highlights of Wenzhou's Yandang Mountain are Lingyan and Fangdong. The two scenic areas are connected, and the scenery along the way is beautiful. You can also see steep cliffs and watch amazing performances. I recommend everyone to visit. However, Dalongqiu is currently in the dry season, so the water is relatively low, but it is still worth playing.
The unique landform and the buildings in the cave blend in with the surrounding scenery. This trip is more worthwhile than expected. Zhenji Temple is an unexpected surprise and a good place to relax.

The waterfall cascades down three thousand feet, looking like the Milky Way falling from the sky! The waterfall is truly magnificent and stunning! It's truly breathtaking! It pairs perfectly with traditional costumes. If you're going, be sure to bring a change of clothes, as it'll be very cold. It's also best to wear slippers, or non-slip Crocs, to prevent your shoes from getting wet.
The food in the scenic area isn't expensive either: grilled sausages are 10 yuan each, and stinky tofu is 20 yuan a box.
The only problem is that there aren't many hair dryers near the attractions. There are only two hair dryers at the temple, and only one at the Water Curtain Cave. It was off-season when I went, so the lines were quite long. During peak season, I wonder how long the lines would last.
This attraction offers excellent value for money. Baizhang Waterfall's first, second, and third waterfalls each have their own unique attractions. Taking the elevator through the north gate saved a lot of energy. I also encountered many young people cosplaying as knights, which added to the fun. Since I took a detour through the concave waterfall, I unexpectedly didn't have to go through the Water Curtain Cave at the second waterfall, and I didn't need my raincoat. Elderly people should be careful when going through the Water Curtain Cave; the steps are wet and slippery. Some sections are under renovation, and the signage is unclear, so I had to follow the advice of others who had been there before to avoid making mistakes. If you exit through the south gate, be sure to take the scenic bus back to the north gate.

Lishui Ancient Street is a beautiful ancient street. Strolling along, enjoying a cup of tea and a wheat cake is truly enjoyable. The cobblestone pavement stretches over 300 meters, and lanterns draped along the corridors create a beautiful landscape alongside towering, century-old trees.
This "cradle of Chinese landscape poetry" perfectly blends pastoral idyll with geological wonders: the crystal-clear river meanders through 36 bends and 72 rapids; while drifting on a bamboo raft, you can see the Shima Rock rising from the ground like the "Sky Pillar of Southern Zhejiang," and waterfalls hidden in the deep valley below the cliff; along the coast, ancient villages such as Cangpo and Furong have completely preserved the architectural texture of the Song and Ming dynasties, and the farming and reading culture and clan heritage flow among the bluestone roads. You can explore strange peaks, enjoy waterfalls, and find the tranquility of a thousand years of humanities deep in the ancient village.

Nanji Islands: One of the ten most beautiful islands in China, the island ecology is pristine and pure, the sand is soft and golden, and the secret blue hole hides clear water. It is suitable for travelers who pursue niche and in-depth ocean experiences. However, transportation to the island is greatly affected by the weather, so advance planning is required.
During the summer vacation, I came to the beautiful Nanji Island. It was an unforgettable seaside trip.
In the early morning, we boarded the island by boat. The sea breeze blew gently, with a salty taste, which made people feel relaxed and happy. When I stepped on Nanji Island, there was a blue sea in front of me, and the waves gently hit the beach, making a pleasant sound. The sand on the beach is delicate and soft, and it feels soft when I step on it, as if it is a natural carpet given by nature.
Walking along the coastline, I saw reefs of various shapes. They became smooth and shiny under the scouring of sea water. Some reefs are like a sleeping giant beast, and some are like a small castle, standing on the seashore, guarding this quiet sea area.
The most exciting thing is swimming at the seaside. I can't wait to put on my swimsuit and dive into the cool sea water. The sea water gently embraced me, and I played in the water to my heart's content, feeling the gentleness and power of the sea. In the distance, several small boats were sailing slowly on the sea, and seagulls were flying freely in the sky, forming a beautiful picture.
Nanji Island is not only picturesque, but also has rich seafood delicacies. In the evening, we tasted fresh sea fish, crabs and shellfish in the restaurant by the sea. The delicious taste still makes me linger.
This trip to Nanji Island made me feel the charm of the sea and the beauty of nature. I look forward to coming again next time to continue exploring this beautiful island.

- Extraordinary natural landscape: the cliffs along the coast of Banping Mountain are like cutting axes, and the reputation of "the first screen of Shenzhou Sea" is repeated on the cliff wall, and the strange stone landscape such as the windscreen and gold prints are overlaid. The boulder skyscraper in the Xiandie Rock, the dangerous rock formations, the Guanyin training lion, the Golden Eagle welcome and other landscapes are lifelike, and there is a "sea bonsai garden" called; the beach of the Dashayu Beach is flat and open, the sand is soft, and the surrounding reefs stand. It is a good place for swimming, surfing and beach activities. -Rich humanistic landscape: Wanghai Building is located in Yandun Mountain, 227 meters above sea level on Dongtou Island. It is a landmark tourist building in Dongtou. You can have a panoramic view of Dongtou Baidao and the new scenery of the ancient city, and you can also understand the fishermen's style of Dongtou. The memorial hall of the Dongtou Pioneer Women's Militia Company is built for the "Dongtou Pioneer Women's Militia Company" of national civilization, showing the development history of the company, and is a national defense education base and a national patriotic education demonstration base. - Characteristic fisherman's building: Haixia Village, Granite Fishing Village and other places have rows of fishermen-style stone houses, mostly built in the 1950s and 1960s, the stone on the outer wall because of the use of white ash or cement lines at the splicing, showing a yellow tone, like the markings on the tiger. Known as the "Tiger Leather Room", some stone rooms have been transformed into net red homestays, both traditional charm and modern comfort. - Diversified leisure experience: Zhongyu Scenic Area has a 1000-meter-long rainbow wave break, as well as 520 Mandao, deep gate Cape Lighthouse and other net red check-in points.

Jiangxin Island is a National 4A Scenic Area. Smaller than Xiamen's Gulangyu, it's a mid-river island in the Oujiang River, long from east to west and narrow from north to south. Access is by boat. The island offers beautiful scenery, fresh air, and numerous small attractions, making it a worthwhile visit.
This is actually a free attraction, a bit like a city park, but the overall layout and area are a relatively large park, and there are some snacks next to it. Poems and some cultural buildings, such as buildings, are all very good, and can be used as some scenic spots for filming.

The daytime is not as lively as the night time, and there are fewer tourists, so it feels more comfortable. Take a leisurely walk along the lake, and you can appreciate the scenery on both sides of the river. Although there are fewer nighttime landscape lights, there is a more leisurely atmosphere.
There are many places called Nantang in the Jiangnan water town, but there are only a few that can leave a deep impression on everyone.
Nantang in Wenzhou is one of them, because it uses three-dimensional methods such as artificial lighting to bring the night life of the entire Nantang alive.
At that time, I was still struggling whether to come here to see it, but when I was really on the entire Nantang River, I saw one dedicated actor after another showing the ancient charm, and you will find that this trip is worth it.
However, if you are like me and are reluctant to spend such an expensive boat ticket, you can also follow the rhythm of the boat on the shore, wait for a few more rounds, and enjoy the performance of the actors

Wuma Street is a famous commercial street in Wenzhou. It starts from Jiefang South Road in the east and connects to Chan Street in the west. It retains the original architectural style that combines Chinese and Western styles. There are all kinds of shops along the street. The great calligrapher Wang Xizhi was a military punctualist. He often drove a carriage with five horses running side by side, which is why Wuma Street got its name. So when you come to Wuma Street, you must check in at the bronze statue of five horses galloping. Wuma Street is also a place often visited by Wenzhou students.
Wenzhou Night Market Street and the pedestrian street are all clothing stores. The streets are wide, with old Western-style houses next to them. There are food stores in the streets and alleys next to the main street, which is convenient for eating.
[Scenery] The night view is more beautiful for taking photos.
[Fun] Wuma Street has become Wenzhou's iconic shopping pedestrian street. It is a distribution center for goods in southern Zhejiang, especially daily necessities. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the architectural style of the combination of Chinese and Western styles is unique. Here, you can taste authentic Wenzhou food, buy a variety of specialty products, and feel the strong business atmosphere and cultural atmosphere.
[Cost-effectiveness] The cost-effectiveness of clothing is not high

The aquarium is very nice to visit, with a wide variety of animals, and there are paid interactions. The downside is that I encountered a group of elementary school students, and I really couldn't avoid them no matter how hard I tried. They were so noisy that I collapsed. The big circus was great, the price-performance ratio was super high, and the motorcycles were so cool. Overall, I highly recommend this combined ticket.
The annual pass is worth it. The performances are quite comprehensive, including mermaid performances, underwater ballet, sea lions, and dolphin performances. There are not only marine life, but also land life such as rainforests. The manta ray corridor is really nice to see, and the children love it.
