A three-day deep tour of Tiantai, not only the most beautiful temple, but also the spirit on the mountain
🌈Before going to Tiantai Mountain, I imagined that I would quietly visit the ancient temples for thousands of years, slowly wait for the cows to get off work, leisurely watch the green mountains and waterfalls, happily take pictures of Zen landscapes, stroke cats, drink tea and eat vegetarian meals. After the trip, everything was as I wished, but the adjectives were a bit off. I walked 25 kilometers in three days, and on the last day I sat on the high-speed train back with two muddy trouser legs, but I was happier than the planned trip, especially the Xiagu Ancient Road, the beautiful mountains and waters of Tiantai Mountain are real.
🚴♀️Because several scenic spots are basically all the way, so there are many problems in transportation and tour routes, the number of words is limited, detailed strategies will be divided later, first simply say the total itinerary
1⃣Day1: Departure—Tiantai Station—Big Waterfall—Qiongtai Fairy Valley
2⃣Day2: Guoqing Temple—Tiantai Museum—Shiliang
3⃣Day3: Xiagu Ancient Road Loop—Tiantai Station Return
📍✔️First afternoon: Big Waterfall + Qiongtai Fairy Valley (Pictures 1-5)
🔸Bought a joint ticket, walked all the way, took 3 hours, the route track is 9 kilometers (only more than 7 kilometers on the two-step track, has been synchronized), the big waterfall is indeed spectacular, but after climbing to the top of the mountain all the way to Qiongtai Fairy Valley, it is the mountain and water show, worth the ticket price. This attraction is near, it is convenient for one person to take a taxi.
📍✔️Second morning: Guoqing Temple + Tiantai Museum, afternoon: Shiliang (Pictures 6-11)
🔸Guoqing Temple is as everyone says, quiet and simple, even the plants have Buddha nature, the entrance of Tiantai Museum is very inconspicuous, but the cultural exhibits inside are very rich.
🔸Shiliang Feipu is rushing to the last bus of the scenic spot to go back to the last bus, about 3 kilometers from the entrance to the exit, it takes 1 and a half hours, completely different from the big waterfall Qiongtai Fairy Valley, it is a place to brush again. This attraction is far away, it is more convenient for one person to take the scenic bus.
📍✔️Third day: Xiagu Ancient Road Loop (Pictures 12-16)
🔸Start timing from near Tiantai Hotel, the whole journey is 13 kilometers, it takes 5 hours (only more than 12 kilometers on the two-step track, has been synchronized), all the way through the mountains, villages, ancient temples, quiet and natural, the second half of the journey met rain, so I brought two trouser legs out of the mountain. There are several wild roads in this loop, it is not recommended for women to hike alone, especially when the weather is bad.
🌟If the weather is bad in Tiantai Mountain, it is easy to fog up the mountain, self-driving around the mountain road should pay attention to safety, novice drivers are not recommended.
🌟I won't go out for food, I've been hiking all the way, the most I eat is dry food, but I ate at the earth stove, I feel average, and the random He Wei stir-fry on the side of the road, unexpectedly suits my taste, I ate it for two days.
🌟The temples in Tiantai Mountain are really beautiful, and the three-day deep tour makes me feel that the mountains and waters here are more spiritual.
Trip to Taizhou
🚗🚗🚗 Travel Itinerary:
Day1: Guoqing Scenic Area → Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area → Ziyang Street → Xiya Hotel (Wenling Jiulong Lake Branch)
Day2: Duijie Scenic Platform → Colorful Xiaoruo Village → Lanou Hotel (Yuhuan Nanpu Road Wanda Plaza Branch)
Day3: Dongsha Fishing Village → Dalu Island
There are mountains and waters, it's just a bit taxing on the driver!
Guoqing Temple - One of the three major ancient temples in China
Guoqing Temple is located on Mount Tiantai in Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. The temple was first built in the 18th year of the Sui Kaihuang era (598 AD), originally named Tiantai Temple. It was here that the eminent Sui Dynasty monk 'Master Zhiyi' founded the Tiantai school of Buddhism, making it the birthplace of the Tiantai tradition.
In 604 AD, Emperor Yang of Sui ascended to the throne and personally inscribed the name 'Guoqing Temple' with the verse 'If the temple is accomplished, the nation will be pure,' to signify the clarity and peace of his reign. The importance of Guoqing Temple at that time is evident from the fact that the peace and stability of a nation were entrusted to a single temple.
Master Jianzhen, a great monk, visited Guoqing Temple during his eastward journey to Japan. A Japanese monk who studied abroad (Saichō) also came to Mount Tiantai to study Buddhism. After returning to Japan, he built Enryaku-ji Temple on Mount Hiei and founded the Japanese Tendai school, honoring Guoqing Temple on Mount Tiantai in Zhejiang as its ancestral temple.
The current Guoqing Temple was rebuilt by imperial order in the 12th year of the Yongzheng era of the Qing Dynasty (1734). It is known as one of China's four great ancient temples, alongside Lingyan Temple in Jinan, Qixia Temple in Nanjing, and Yuquan Temple in Dangyang.
Throughout history, many high monks have resided at Guoqing Temple, including Master Yixing, Hanshan, Shide, Monk Jigong, Kūkai the founder of Japanese Shingon Buddhism, and Saichō the founder of Japanese Tendai Buddhism.
The temple houses a plum tree planted by the fifth patriarch of the Tiantai school, Master Zhang'an, known as the 'Sui Mei,' which is one of the three oldest plum trees in China. During the 60s and 70s, it nearly died out, but after Premier Zhou Enlai ordered the restoration of Guoqing Temple, the once withered Sui Mei miraculously bloomed again, becoming a spectacular sight.
The stone pagoda outside the temple is the oldest stone pagoda from the Sui Dynasty. The two white marble lions in front of Guoqing Temple were moved from the Forbidden City in Beijing. The incense burner in front of the Mahavira Hall was cast by Emperor Qianlong in honor of his mother's birthday, known as the 'Holy Longevity Incense Burner.' The eighteen Arhat statues inside the hall were carved from golden Phoebe nanmu wood during the Yuan Dynasty. In addition, the temple's Sui Mei, half of a goose by Wang Xizhi... Numerous ancient artifacts and the beautiful temple landscape captivate all who see them, inspiring joy and admiration.
The simple and solid Guoqing Temple awaits your appreciation.
Admission: Free.
Opening Hours: 7:00~16:00
Among the four ancient temples, Guoqing Temple and Lingyan Temple allow pets inside.
If you wish to save energy, there are electric shuttle cars at the foot of the mountain that go to and from Guoqing Temple, with a one-way ticket costing 2 yuan.

Shenxianju Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Come to the place where the immortals live, and take some ethereal photos! Attached is a shooting guide
🌤Come to the Immortal's Residence in the New Year, ascend from the south gate, every step is a scene, majestic and spectacular, extraordinarily beautiful, the fairy aura in the mountains is floating, stepping into the mountains is refreshing, instantly becoming a broad-minded, not curled, not dry little fairy~
🏞The Immortal's Residence is really good for shooting, there are many check-in points, and any shot is a blockbuster. I have summarized a few check-in points and shooting tips, everyone can take it~
📸Photo check-in position in the Immortal's Residence: Buddha Shadow Lotus Rhyme, South Heaven Top, Worship Platform, Ruyi Bridge, Lotus Platform, halfway up the mountain, the photo red wall under the mountain is also very beautiful
📌Shooting tips for reference:
1, It is recommended to wear ancient style clothing, solid color is better, white is more fairy, horse face skirt is more heroic
2, Buddha Shadow Lotus Rhyme must be checked in, every 5 minutes will spray a mist, the fairy atmosphere is more sufficient
3, The mountain is cooler than the bottom of the mountain, it is recommended to bring a thick coat for shooting
4, You can bring your own shooting props, fans, ancient style hats, cloaks are all good
5, The drone perspective shooting scenery, portraits are more beautiful
☝🏻Mountain climbing tour route suggestion: It is recommended to go up from the south gate, directly take the cable car, change to the elevator to check in Buddha Shadow Lotus Rhyme, South Heaven Top and Ruyi Bridge and so on, but not in the same direction, you need to watch the time
🎫The ticket for the Immortal's Residence is 110/person, the separate ticket for the South Heaven Top is 99/person
🚡The cable car goes up 65 yuan/person, the cable car goes down 55 yuan/person
Conquered my fears & soared to new heights in
Trekking up the South Heaven Summit was a journey of determination & awe-inspiring vistas. The sun painted the world in hues of gold as I stood at the pinnacle, a surreal moment etched forever.
But the real adventure began with the Glass Skywalk. Stepping onto the transparent path suspended hundreds of meters above ground sent my heart racing. Adrenaline surged through me with each step, the wind whispered ancient secrets, and the sway beneath my feet added to the thrill.
As I walked along the skywalk, Xianju's beauty unfolded beneath me – valleys, hills, and rivers that seemed like nature's masterpiece. The blend of awe & exhilaration reminded me of life's fragility & wonder. Captured moments in photographs couldn't compare to the feeling of facing fear & emerging triumphant.
Xianju County's South Heaven Summit & Glass Skywalk are more than attractions – they're invitations to embrace courage & adventure, a chance to leave comfort zones behind. To all seeking unforgettable experiences, heed the call of Xianju. 🌄 Embrace the rush, embrace the beauty. Your journey awaits! #XianjuAdventures#trip
Incredible bridges in zhejiang
#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
If you are planning for a long hike, with beautiful scenery, fresh air, Shenxianju, Taizhou, Zhejiang is best place for you, better drive your own car to also enjoy the road trip. The top of mount is a long walk of around 5 kilometer so better keep necessary food with you and keep yourself hydrated if you are traveling during summers. The scenary is breathtaking but if you are traveling with kids I would suggest to take cable car to reach mountain top, as you also need to walk around 5 km to travel around on the top of mountain.

Just as we got onto the mountain road, the Swiss consultant said that this road is very similar to Switzerland. The weather last Sunday was also very cooperative, showing our foreign friends the bluest sea of Shitang. This time, Sheye Ji Lai also finally came, although the must-order coffee/yogurt is not worth 58, but the big lawn is worth it

Wandering through the Ziyang Street by the sea
The historic district of Ziyang Street in Linhai is the most prosperous commercial area in the history of Taizhou Prefecture, and it is a microcosm of the millennium history of the prefecture city. Historically, Ziyang ancient street was lined with shops, including century-old brands such as Xufengyuan Restaurant, Wang Tianshun's horseshoe cakes, Tongshuhe tea food shop, Yidongtian teahouse, Cenzhenyuan medicine shop, and Cai Yongli scale shop.
The ancient street is 1080 meters long and 4-5 meters wide, running north to south, with two to three-story wooden structures on both sides. The entire street retains the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with exquisite and auspicious gray carvings and lines, and five firewalls built across the street are distinctive.
