Detailed three-day tour guide for Tiantai Mountain in Taizhou, Zhejiang, the residence of immortals, and the city walls of Taizhou Prefecture

📍Attraction address: Centered around Linhai, Taizhou, it radiates to three core scenic areas: Tiantai Mountain, the residence of immortals, and the city walls of Taizhou Prefecture 🚗Attraction transportation: Depart from Hangzhou East Station, take the high-speed train to the first stop at Tiantai Mountain Station, take a taxi to Tiantai Mountain Great Waterfall Scenic Area, Guoqing Temple South Gate Scenic Area, take the high-speed train to Linhai; Linhai Taizhou Prefecture city walls can be reached by taxi, cycling, or walking; from Linhai South Station take the high-speed train to Xianju South Station, it is recommended to take a taxi or carpool from Xianju South Station to the south gate of the residence of immortals (buses are scarce and take a long time, carpool costs about 20-30 yuan per person, it is recommended to take a taxi if there are many people), it is recommended to take a shuttle bus from the south gate of the residence of immortals down the mountain to the tourist center (5 yuan), and then take a taxi or bus back to Xianju South Station (if there are many people, you can call a ride-hailing car at the temporary parking lot at the south gate), take the high-speed train to Linhai South Station or Taizhou West Station, and transfer back to Hangzhou by high-speed train. 👍️Must-visit attractions: Tiantai Mountain Great Waterfall, Qiongtai Xiangu, Guoqing Temple; Linhai Taizhou Prefecture city walls, Jinshan Pagoda Cluster, Longxing Temple, Ziyang Street and Donghu night view; the residence of immortals. 🎟️Ticket information: Tickets for Tiantai Mountain Great Waterfall, Qiongtai Xiangu, and the residence of immortals, as well as cable car tickets, can be purchased online, the city walls of Taizhou Prefecture are free to climb at night, and the rest are free attractions. 💗Other tips: 1: Tiantai Mountain Great Waterfall and Qiongtai Xiangu are two scenic areas, both require climbing, if you are afraid of climbing, choose the Great Waterfall, usually return after reaching the Water Curtain Cave, and then you can choose other scenic areas. If you are not afraid of mountain roads, you can choose to climb from the Great Waterfall to the top of the mountain (this section of the mountain road is more physically demanding, with a rest point halfway), but each section of the waterfall has different beautiful views. There is a horizontal plank road at the top of the mountain, walk all the way to the glass bridge (additional charge, if you are afraid to walk the glass bridge, you can directly walk from the side to the gate of Qiongtai Xiangu scenic area, 10 minutes more), cross the glass bridge to Qiongtai Xiangu scenic area, then it is all the way downhill, the road is steep, but the scenery is good, all the way down to the gate of Qiongtai Xiangu scenic area (the whole journey is about 4 hours), after going downhill if you want to return to the gate of the Great Waterfall scenic area, you need to take a shuttle bus (10 yuan), it is recommended to directly take a ride-hailing car to Guoqing Temple South Gate, which is convenient and fast. 2. In Linhai, you can choose to stay near the ancient city, which is relatively convenient to go to the scenic area. The entire Taizhou Prefecture city walls are about 6 kilometers long, and going up and down also requires a certain amount of physical strength, with several entrances and exits along the way. It is recommended to go to Jinshan Pagoda Forest, Tianning Temple, Longxing Temple first, then from Ziyang Street to Chaotianmen to climb the city wall, and from Lanshengmen to descend the city wall. The night views of Donghu and Ziyang Street are good, around 7 pm first go to Donghu to take pictures, then go to Ziyang Street to stroll and eat, the popular snacks on Ziyang Street also require queuing 😀 3. It is best to take the cable car from the south gate to the residence of immortals, once up there are two mountain escalators, you can stand on them to check in and take pictures. Along the mountain plank road all the way forward, it is all beautiful scenery. On rainy days, the mist is lingering, indeed more beautiful, but if the fog is too thick, you can't see anything, just keep walking. So, being able to encounter good weather at the residence of immortals is really fate. Turn around to the popular Ruyi Bridge, you can choose to take the north cable car down the mountain, but if you still have the physical strength, it is recommended to walk past Ruyi Bridge and return to the south cable car down the mountain. One is that since you are here, don't leave regrets, and the other is that the south cable car has a larger capacity and the queue for going down the mountain is faster. Lastly, it is recommended to bring some dry food and water when climbing Tiantai Mountain Great Waterfall and the residence of immortals, eating and drinking along the way can better relieve fatigue. Also, be sure to bring some mosquito repellent, the mosquitoes on the mountain are really fierce.
