The Journey to Taizhou - The Temple on the Waterfall is Incredible!

I finally made it to the other side of the Anywhere Door - the Tiantai Shiliang Waterfall! The first stop in Tiantai was the Guoqing Temple, and the second stop had to be the Shiliang Waterfall, just to witness the breathtaking view of the temple on the waterfall. However, before going, I was a little hesitant. First, because I saw online that there are snakes at Shiliang, and I was going alone; if I encountered a snake, could I handle it by myself? Second, with only three to four hours, should I go to Shiliang, Tongbai Palace, or the Tiantai Mountain Great Waterfall? After much thought, I still chose Shiliang, because a temple hanging on a waterfall is not something you can see just anywhere! I shouldn't be so unlucky to encounter snakes, and the Tiantai Mountain Great Waterfall is man-made, so I chose the natural Shiliang Waterfall this time! After making the decision, I drove to Shiliang. There are several must-see sights at Shiliang: first, the Little Copper Pot Waterfall; second, the Number One Seal in the World; and third, the most stunning view - the Shiliang Waterfall! Shiliang is a natural granite bridge, uncarved by human hands, naturally formed, spanning between two cliff faces, with the waterfall flowing beneath it like frost, pouring down like the Milky Way. The ancient Fangguang Temple is conveniently located on the mountaintop to the left of Shiliang, overlooking the waterfall, presenting a beautiful picture of the temple above the waterfall. This is the essence of the Shiliang scenic area. Seeing this magnificent scene, the longing and anticipation in my heart were instantly fulfilled. When you want to go somewhere, that place takes root and grows in your heart, and when what you've imagined becomes the beautiful scenery before your eyes, the inner peace and satisfaction are beyond words. No wonder Xu Xiake visited Tiantai three times; the natural wonders of Tiantai are like the work of gods, full of surprises! A lineage of Tiantai mountains and waters, half of China's complete Tang poetry.
