Nice environment, delicious food, and friendly service. Please add an air conditioner⊙∀⊙!

Tiantai Mountain is located in Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is known as "the source of Buddhism and Taoism, and the beauty of mountains and rivers". It is a perfect combination of natural scenery and human history. It not only has magnificent landscapes, but also has a profound cultural heritage. It is indeed very suitable for short trips or in-depth tours. As a native of Shanha, I returned to my hometown again after a year and a half. I went around and sorted out this guide. ⛱️Must-visit attractions: 1️⃣ Beishan Beishan itself cannot be called a tourist attraction. The winding mountain road extends to the highest point of Tiantai, Huading, with an altitude of 1,098 meters. After reaching the top, you can overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire Tiantai Mountain (but there is a lot of fog on the mountain, and it is basically impossible to see clearly). On the way up the mountain, you will pass by the newly built Tongbai Palace, which is also the ancestral home of the Southern School of Taoism. It is worth stopping to take a look. This time, we happened to catch up with the heavy snow on the mountain. It started to snow when we almost reached Longhuangtang. We stopped and started to make snowmen. It was really beautiful! 2️⃣Guoqing Temple Guoqing Temple is the birthplace of Tiantai Sect of Chinese Buddhism, with a history of more than 1,400 years. The temple is built on the mountain, simple and solemn. The Sui tower, ancient plum and thousand-year-old temple in the temple make people feel the weight of history. Guoqing Temple is not only a pilgrimage site for Buddhist believers, but also a good place for ordinary tourists to understand Buddhist culture. It is recommended to stay in the temple for a while, feel the tranquil atmosphere, taste the vegetarian food in the temple, and experience Zen life. Please note that the Sui plum in the temple is in full bloom recently, you must go to see it! ! After we came out, we also walked a few hundred meters to check in at the popular coffee of Sanmu Yushi. Because of the rain, the road was muddy, but there were still many people in the store, which was suitable for resting and relaxing when tired. 3️⃣Zhexi Old Street Zhexi Old Street is located in Tiantai County and is a well-preserved ancient street. Since the renovation and opening of Zhexi Old Street last year, the overall feeling is brand new. There are many specialty snacks and handicraft shops here. You can taste authentic Tiantai-style dumplings, hu la tai and other authentic delicacies, and you can also buy some local handicrafts as souvenirs. We went directly to Rong Xiaoguan inside, took a number and queued up on the spot, and waited for about ten minutes before entering. As an affordable restaurant under Xinrongji, the quality control is still good, and the sand garlic bean noodles, palm treasures, and chicken pots are still good. Parking is also very convenient. There are several parking lot entrances and exits on Gongren West Road, and there are plenty of parking spaces. 4️⃣ Tiantai Mountain Waterfall Tiantai Mountain Waterfall is a newly developed attraction in recent years and is known as the "No. 1 Waterfall in East China". The waterfall has a drop of 325 meters and is magnificent, especially when the water volume is abundant in the rainy season. It is even more spectacular. Visitors can watch the waterfall up close along the plank road and feel the coolness of the water mist. There are also dense forests and clear streams around the waterfall, which is a good place for taking pictures and relaxing. Climb to the top of the mountain and you can connect to Qiongtai Fairy Valley through a glass plank bridge. However, the ticket is relatively expensive, costing 100 yuan per person. 💗Other tips: 🚗Transportation: The various scenic spots in Tiantai Mountain are relatively scattered. It is recommended to drive or take the high-speed rail to Tiantai Station, and then take a bus or taxi to the scenic spot. If you are going to Shanghuading or Shiliang Waterfall, you can take a bus to the mountain at the tourist distribution center. 🏨Accommodation: There are many homestays and hotels around Tiantai Mountain. It is recommended to choose accommodation close to the scenic spot for early morning sightseeing. 🍃Best season: Spring and autumn are the best time to travel to Tiantai Mountain, with pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. If you want to enjoy snow and rime, you can also come in winter and stay on the North Mountain, where there are indoor ski resorts and the Lotus Town and Xingye Hotel developed by Greentown. ☕️Food: Everyone calls Taizhou Nuojiji, but I personally think it is more like a paradise for carbon water and a holy place for snacks. Wheat cakes, dumpling rolls, flatbreads, Hu La Tai... (personal preference, hehe) ❗️Other precautions: The temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountains is large, so it is recommended to bring a coat; some attractions require hiking, so it is important to wear comfortable shoes. Tiantai Mountain combines natural beauty with cultural history. Whether it is mountaineering, visiting ancient temples, or tasting food, it will make people linger. I hope this guide can help everyone's trip to Tiantai Mountain! #城市人文手记 #抓城市人文 #景景摄影指南 #如歌的之旅 #与朋友去玩儿

From Hangzhou to Tiantai Mountain Guoqing Temple, this is the most impressive meal in Guoqing Temple Scenic Area.

🍽️Before going to Guoqing Temple, I had lunch with my sisters in this small canteen called "Sanmu Yushi" 📷The style is Japanese and fresh, the store is small and warm, and the seats in front of the window are very photogenic 🍝It provides some simple meals, the taste is OK, the meal standard is second only to the small seafood in our meal during this trip, haha, compared with the price in Taizhou, it is a little expensive 🧳If this is your first stop in Taizhou, and you also want to visit Guoqing Temple, and the next stop is Linhai, then it is recommended to leave your luggage at the high-speed rail station, and wait to go to Linhai or take the high-speed rail More convenient (this is our route, for your reference... 🌿I love the rice fields outside. I came to Kikujiro in summer. It is said that the autumn harvest season is a different scene. It is said that the monks of Guoqing Temple will eat the rice grown in this rice field p.s. You can also go around Guoqing Temple from the rice field, which is very convenient 👍️Must-check-in store: Sanmu Yushi 🕐️Check-in time: July 💰️Average price per person: around 100 💗Other tips: suitable for sisters/photography holy place/simple meals taste good/the store has a great atmosphere #Face control favorite afternoon tea #Scenic restaurant #Bestie photo guide

📍 | Guoqing Temple After visiting Guoqing Temple, we came to this temple that does not require tickets. The parking fee is 10 yuan, and the incense is optional. I heard that the temple also provides vegetarian meals and vegetarian tea. Although I personally do not have religious beliefs, I felt a sense of peace in this quiet temple. Surrounded by green trees, yellow tiles and green walls, I made a wish for peace in this place without a ceiling. I just have a question, why is the offering in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva avocado and zero sugar and zero fat Starbucks American coffee? 📍 | Miki and Food The small canteen next to Guoqing Temple, through the window you can overlook the rice fields, and you can also see the canteen’s own vegetable garden. There is a sign on the wall that reads "Spring grows, summer grows, autumn harvests, winter stores", which tells diners that the menu here is closely related to the four seasons. I recommend trying their beef rice and asparagus hot spring eggs, and the drinks are also very good. There is also a cute little orange cat in the store, and you can interact with it after eating. 📍 | Xide Coffee We ordered their signature drinks - "Zen Brown Sugar Latte" and "Happy Cinnamon Gingerbread Latte". Although the taste is ordinary, the photo effect is very good. In addition to coffee and snacks, there are some cultural and creative products to choose from, such as refrigerator magnets and postcards, which can be purchased as souvenirs. #Local Food #Fresh and Cozy #Lie in the Mountains and Rivers #Pray for Blessings in the Temple
