Spent a few days in Taizhou with the kids, and it was truly a delightful surprise. Here you have mountains and sea, ancient villages and towns, plus plenty of delicious seafood—perfect for a family vacation. Wenling Shitang is a must-visit, featuring colorful fishing villages just like Italy’s Cinque Terre. The houses in Xiao Ruo Village are painted in vibrant colors, resembling a fairy tale world. Taking photos with the kids here is especially picturesque. Shitang is also the place where the first ray of sunlight of the new millennium shone. You can take the kids to the Duijie Viewing Platform to watch the sunrise, which is very meaningful. Shenxianju Scenic Area is a national 5A-level attraction and the largest volcanic rhyolite landform group in the world, often called the “Zhangjiajie of Eastern Zhejiang.” The Nantian Ding Glass Viewing Platform hangs 869 meters in the air, offering an exhilarating experience. The Ruyi Bridge stretches across the canyon like a giant dragon, and when shrouded in mist, it looks like a fairyland. Walk the high-altitude plank road with the kids, admire the strange peaks and rocks, and learn about volcanic landforms. Guoqing Temple on Tiantai Mountain is the birthplace of the Tiantai sect of Buddhism. This ancient temple from the Sui Dynasty is over 1,400 years old and completely free of commercial atmosphere. The Sui plum trees in the temple were planted during the Sui Dynasty and still bloom and bear fruit today. The Shiliang Waterfall and Huading Rhododendrons are core parts of the “Eight Views of Tiantai.” Visit the ancient temple with the kids, listen to the morning bell and evening drum, taste the light and fresh vegetarian temple cuisine, and experience the charm of Buddhist culture. Changyu Dongtian is the world’s largest artificial stone cave group and holds a Guinness World Record. The 28 caves are interwoven in a spectacular way. You can take the kids boating on the underground river in the Guanxi Cave and even attend a concert in the cave’s music hall, where the natural reverberation rivals the Sydney Opera House—truly magical. The Taizhou Prefecture Cultural Tourism Area is also a national 5A-level attraction.

I've always thought that hiking in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai mostly involves bamboo forests, tea hills, and gentle slopes. Until I went to Wenling and Yandang Mountain. Only then did I discover that the Zhejiang coast actually has this kind of landscape— volcanic rock cliffs, sea-eroded reefs, canyons and streams, coastal ridges, pebble beaches, black reef caves... In just a few days, the terrain changes as fast as opening a map blind box. And it’s not far from Shanghai or the high-speed rail. It’s really perfect for a weekend escape from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. 1️⃣ Shuitong’ao | A rare coastal ridge line in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai The "Zhejiang version of the MacLehose Trail" really has some strength. Walking along the coastal ridge, there are rolling grassy slopes underfoot and the East China Sea beside you. The most special feature here is the coastline terrain, made up of a large amount of sea-eroded rock and cliff reefs. After long-term wave erosion, the rocks have been carved into strange shapes—some look like elephants, some like broken city walls, and many corners offer a 360° sea view when you look up. It’s really hard to imagine this is Zhejiang. 2️⃣ Dakengsha | A ruined coastline like a game map The next day at Dakengsha was even more incredible. Abandoned stone houses hide in the coastal valleys, stone walls covered with vines, right next to black reefs and pebble beaches. Along the way, you pass sea-eroded caves, exposed rock layers, and fractured coasts. Some reefs are polished shiny by the waves, looking like metal surfaces from afar. This route is especially pristine, with little commercial development and no touristy feel. Many places even give the impression of "accidentally entering an uninhabited coast." 3️⃣ Yandang Mountain | Zhejiang also has volcanic canyons Yandang Mountain is traditionally known as a scenic area, but after entering Shuanglong Valley, you realize it’s more like a huge volcanic relic. The canyon is full of giant rock walls and rocky streams. In many places, you have to step on stones to cross the creek, sometimes even using both hands and feet to climb over rocks. Looking up at the mountain, you’ll see rock walls split as if cut by a knife. That sense of oppression is really rare in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. 4️⃣ Later, going to Jinzhu Stream, the terrain changes completely again. Streams, ancient pools, waterfalls, and bamboo forests connect along the way. Summer would be especially perfect for stream trekking and water play. The biggest impression after this trip is: the terrain of the southeastern Zhejiang coast is truly underestimated.

I'm truly dazzled by Xiaoruocun Village in Wenling, Zhejiang! It’s a real-life version of a colorful fairy tale world, definitely one of the hottest hidden seaside gems in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai area, with an atmosphere that’s off the charts! This place is like the Chinese version of the Cinque Terre. The entire village nestles between mountains and sea, with every house painted in pastel macaron colors—pink, blue, yellow, and orange interwoven in a charming, layered way by the seaside, giving off a very healing vibe. The best part is it’s completely free to visit, without excessive commercialization, preserving the simple charm of a fishing village. No need to hunt for photo spots; the village’s rainbow alleys, seaside walkways, and painted walls make every photo you take look amazing. I recommend climbing up to the Qilin Mountain viewing platform to overlook the entire colorful fishing village and the deep blue sea, offering a super wide view. The evening scenery is the most stunning, with the sunset casting a warm, romantic glow over the colorful houses and the sea. It’s perfect for a weekend getaway, a romantic date, or a leisurely stroll to unwind and relax.

Hangzhou 2 Days 1 Night 🍃✨ A city I didn't expect much from at first, but once I visited, I absolutely loved it! The vibe is peaceful, clean, and very walkable with great views from almost every angle. It feels like a slow-life version of Shanghai. Day 1 🚄 We traveled from Shanghai Hongqiao Station to Hangzhou East Station via high-speed train. This time we tried out First Class for about 500 Baht. Let me tell you, it was super comfortable. The seats are wide, it's quiet, and it took almost no time to reach Hangzhou. Another thing I highly recommend is the luggage porter service / Priority Pass 🧳✨ It costs around 80 RMB but is totally worth it, especially if you have large suitcases. You don't have to line up at the platform yourself or fight for luggage space. It makes everything so much easier. Once we arrived at the station, we just called a Didi straight to the hotel. Super convenient. For this trip, we stayed at Ai Fei Hangzhou West Lake 🛏️ The location is incredible—just a 500-meter walk to West Lake. Getting to malls or restaurants is also a breeze. The price is unbelievably good; I booked a promo through Trip for less than 1,000 Baht a night. Such a steal for this location. After dropping off our bags, we went for a stroll around West Lake 🌿 It is absolutely gorgeous! So stunning that one day of walking around just doesn't feel like enough. Every spot is picturesque—the trees, the water, the boats, and people just walking around leisurely. The atmosphere is incredibly serene and soothing. Along the way, we stopped for a meal at Grandma’s Home, the lakeside branch 🍜 A famous Chinese restaurant that's always packed. The food is delicious, the flavors are widely appealing, and the prices are reasonable. Plus, the view at this branch is fantastic. There's also a CHAGEE in the park area around West Lake 🧋 Grabbing a cold milk tea after walking and feeling tired hits the spot perfectly. In the evening, we headed over to Hubin 77 🛍️✨ A shopping district right next to West Lake that's so much fun to walk through. There are tons of malls and famous shops, and the vibe is unbeatable because you just step out a bit and see the lake view. There is a massive Miniso Land branch here! There are so many items you could browse forever. It also features many famous shops, like Nut Fun Land, a jujube cheese shop with huge queues. Personally, I found it genuinely delicious and totally worth the hype. Another absolute must-try is Bao Pastry 🍰 Their pork floss cake is amazingly delicious! Soft, fragrant, and so addictive you just can't stop eating it. If you go, I highly recommend buying some to take home. We continued wandering around the malls and pedestrian streets near West Lake. This city is incredibly chill at night. You can just walk endlessly without getting bored, and the crowds aren't too chaotic. After that, we headed back to the hotel to rest and recharge for tomorrow's adventures ✨ Day 2 🌤️ Started the day with breakfast at Pan Fang Chun 🍜 A famous spot in Hangzhou where lots of locals eat. The Chinese-style breakfast is amazing—it really feels like starting the day like a true local. Then, we went to pray for love at Faxi Temple 🙏🏻💕 This temple is famous for blessings related to love and relationships. The atmosphere is peaceful and deeply shaded. A lot of Chinese people come here to worship. I recommend taking the bus as it’s the most convenient way to get there 🚌 You can take it straight from the city center without needing multiple transfers. The view along the way is stunning, passing through nature zones and mountains. The vibe is immaculate. Before heading back to Thailand, we grabbed dinner at Green Tea Restaurant 🥢 A popular spot that almost anyone visiting Hangzhou stops by. The Hangzhou-style Chinese food tastes great, prices are okay, the menu is extensive, and the restaurant's atmosphere is top-notch. Wrapped up the trip with Ahma Handmade 🧋✨ A famous taro milk tea shop with a massive queue. The milk tea is fragrant, the taro is rich, and it definitely lives up to the hype. If you're a boba lover, this is an absolute must. In conclusion, Hangzhou is an incredibly livable city 🍃 It's peaceful, clean, and easy to navigate. It has everything Shanghai has, but with fewer people. It's not chaotic, barely has any cigarette smoke smell, and the atmosphere is wonderful. It's perfect for chill travelers, cafe-hoppers, people who love strolling, and anyone truly looking to unwind from the big city.

Stay in the same stone house secret retreat as Lin Gengxin|Xingluo Haiye: 270° French terrace bathtub with sunrise view, butler Xiaoguang helps you capture “blockbuster” shots Nestled halfway up the mountain in Shitang, Wenling, is a French countryside estate made famous by the variety show "Three Courtyards" — "Yaojia · Xingluo Haiye Dawn Homestay." Lin Gengxin and Zhu Zhen once filmed here. In guest reviews from February 2026, the most mentioned words were “butler Xiaoguang,” “lying in bed watching fireworks,” and “breakfast embedded cake.” The moment you push open the stone wall wooden door, an 800㎡ lawn and the boundless East China Sea unfold before your eyes — this is how Shitang should be experienced. 270° sea view room, soak in the bathtub waiting for a spring fireworks show We stayed in the Sea Breeze · Duplex Sea View Twin Room, with a private courtyard full of greenery on the first floor and a bedroom facing the East China Sea on the second floor. The floor-to-ceiling windows are like giant picture frames; lying in bed, you can see fishing boats slowly sailing across the sea. The most breathtaking moment was on the night of the 2026 Lunar New Year — sitting in bed, you could watch fireworks bloom in the distant night sky, the orange flames reflecting on the sea, so romantic it left you speechless. The room is well-equipped: underfloor heating throughout, smart toilet, and a bathtub by the window. The moment you soak in, you see the sunset dyeing the sea golden-orange, with only the white noise of waves in your ears. Although the doors and windows are made of natural wood and a bit drafty in winter, the air conditioning preheated by the butler and the sweet soup delivered to the room instantly warm away all minor flaws. Butler Xiaoguang / Xiaojiang: From carrying luggage to planning routes, always ready to help The butler’s attentiveness has moved countless guests. In January 2026 reviews, butler Xiaoguang was repeatedly mentioned: “Xiaoguang not only provided electric vehicle transfers throughout but also helped plan our itinerary and take beautiful photos, full of thoughtful details.” Another guest shared: “We arrived after midnight, yet the butler still arranged a car to pick us up at the foot of the mountain on time, and the air conditioning was already on when we entered.” The butler creates a WeChat group in advance, sending detailed weather updates and local guides. You don’t have to carry your luggage yourself; the electric vehicle shuttles back and forth between the foot of the mountain and the homestay, and even pets have their own cleaning kits. Breakfast’s embedded cake + homestay’s seafood, unbelievably fresh Breakfast is a nine-grid set meal featuring the local specialty embedded cake — sticky cake skin wrapped around stir-fried vermicelli, shredded potatoes, and braised meat, every bite deeply satisfying. The restaurant offers excellent views, allowing you to enjoy the sea scenery while eating. The homestay’s own restaurant stir-fry dishes are highly praised by guests: “You must try them; they are incredibly delicious.” Ingredients are delivered fresh daily from the fishing port, including scallion oil razor clams, steamed hairtail fish, and stir-fried mung bean noodles — every bite a gift from the sea. Nearby activities: Couple ring viewing platform + Xiaoruo Village + Coastal Greenway Within walking distance from the homestay is the Couple Ring Viewing Platform, offering a 270° panoramic view of Shitang Bay. A short drive takes you to the colorful Xiaoruo Village, with macaron-colored houses perfect for photos. The coastal greenway lies at the foot of the mountain; rent an electric bike to ride, feel the sea breeze, and watch the sunset — pure healing. 2026 Tips · Address: No. 99-102, Wuao Village, Shitang Town, Wenling City · Transportation: Recommended to drive; free parking at the foot of the mountain, butler electric vehicle transfers · Room types: Recommended “Sea Breeze” duplex sea view room or “Three Garlic” 270° terrace room; book one month in advance during peak season · Pet-friendly: Pets allowed with dedicated cleaning kits · Note: Wooden doors and windows are drafty in winter; remember to wear thick socks Turn off the city’s hustle and bustle into the halfway mountain of Shitang, and the moment you push open this stone wall wooden door, the entire East China Sea and lawn spread out before you. Soak in the bathtub watching fireworks bloom, wait on the terrace for butler Xiaoguang to bring sweet soup — Xingluo Haiye tells us: the most beautiful moment in Wenling is not rushing to crowded attractions but this moment living in this stone house, daydreaming to the sound of the waves, with the sea as your screen and stars as your companion. An unforgettable trip is spending this night in the same style as the stars. Follow me to stay in more “windows opening to scenery” destinations — because the best vacation is living your days like poetry, and fitting the stone house into your dreams.

Imagine a village painted in pink, blue, yellow, and purple, cascading down a mountainside by the sea, resembling a palette of colors spilled onto the hills. This place is real. 📍 Xiaoruo Village Wenling City, Taizhou Zhejiang Province, China 🌈 Why visit? The entire village is painted in vibrant colors, layered along the mountainside. From afar, it looks like a scene from a cartoon, but up close, it’s the real-life home of seaside fishermen. On sunny days, the combination of bright skies and colorful houses creates postcard-perfect views. 📸 Must-visit photo spots: 1️⃣ Mountain-top viewpoint: Offers a panoramic view of the village and the sea beyond. 2️⃣ Rainbow staircase: Walk up and capture cinematic shots looking back down. 3️⃣ Mid-mountain platform: A spot to see both the colorful houses and the sea, especially stunning at sunset. ⏰ Best visiting times: Ideal times: 9:00–11:00 AM or after 4:00 PM. ❌ Avoid noon when the sunlight is harsh, making photos less appealing. Plan to spend about 1.5–2 hours here. 🚗 Getting there: 📍 Location pin: 温岭小箬村 (Search for Wenling Xiaoruo Village) 🚘 Driving is the most convenient option. 🚆 Public transportation is less accessible; hiring a car is recommended. ⚠️ Tips: · This is a real village with residents, so be respectful when taking photos. · Wear light, plain-colored clothing to stand out in photos. · There are many stairs, so wear comfortable shoes. · Summer sun can be intense, so don’t forget sunscreen. This isn’t a full-day destination but rather a “surprise spot” for tourists to spend half a day. It’s a vibrant addition to any Zhejiang trip, especially for those who love pastel seaside villages. Xiaoruo Village is China’s version of a rainbow village.

📍Muyun Valley, just a 1.5-hour drive from Wenling, where you can see stunning scenery. Family-friendly, no hiking required 🧗‍♀️ Shuttle bus and cable car to the mountain top 🚠 I recommend taking the cable car to the summit first to see the colorful prayer flags and the sky mirror. Choose a good weather day for amazing photos 📷 Then take the cable car down to the mid-mountain where there is a small waterfall and lots of koi fish. You can feed the koi here~ A few steps downhill leads to a dreamy sea of hydrangeas and red maple forest. Every step is a new scene, like walking into a painting. There are also some super cute Psyduck ducks, and the natural mist adds to the atmosphere. Next to the red maple forest is a cozy wooden cabin café ☕️ The newly decorated Christmas theme is so atmospheric, plus a snow machine that delighted the kids. Every corner of this scenic spot is a perfect photo op. Totally worth visiting, you can never take enough pictures—18 photos still can’t capture it all!! Also, there are Mongolian yurts at the mountain top where you can stay overnight. It would be amazing to pick a time to stay and watch the sunrise and sunset.

Colors will be greatly diminished due to insufficient light, and the sea breeze is stronger, reducing the experience. Be sure to visit on sunny days! Recommended Duration · Core Experience: Half a day (about 3-4 hours) is enough to explore the village and shoot the main spots. · Ideal Plan: 1 day. It’s recommended to combine with nearby East China Sea Cape (Millennium Dawn Park), Coastal Greenway, or Jinsha Beach for a richer one-day tour.
