【3 days 2 nights, 4500 RMB per person! Taizhou Guide: Mountain and Sea Secrets, Jiangnan Wild Flavors】

Day 1: Arrive at **Taizhou Station** by high-speed rail (within 2 hours from Shanghai/Hangzhou, round-trip high-speed rail about 400 RMB; other provinces can fly to Luqiao Airport), check in at a traditional-style guesthouse near Ziyang Street in Linhai (600 RMB/night × 2 = 1200 RMB). In the afternoon, stroll along the thousand-year-old 【Ziyang Street】, visit the Jiangnan Great Wall (Taizhou City Wall), Longxing Temple, and climb Lansheng Gate to overlook the ancient city. Must-try night snacks: egg white lamb tail, seaweed cake, ginger juice egg, and fermented soup.

Day 2: Drive to 【Shenxianju】 (ticket + Nantian Ladder 120 RMB + scenic shuttle 95 RMB) — the "Museum of Magical Peaks," walk the skywalk through clouds and mist, see Guanyin Peak and Ruyi Bridge like a fairyland. In the afternoon, visit 【Potan Ancient Town】 or 【Gaoqian Ancient Village】 to experience the Tang and Song dynasty heritage. Stay at a mountain guesthouse in Xianju (500 RMB), fall asleep to the sound of the stream.

Day 3: Take a boat to explore 【Dachen Island】 (combined car and boat about 2.5 hours, round-trip boat ticket 150 RMB + transport 80 RMB) — view the sea erosion wonders at Jiawu Rock, climb the Reclamation Monument, and enjoy freshly caught seafood. Alternatively, visit 【Shitang, Wenling】: take photos at the colorful Xiaoruocun Village, cycle along the coastal greenway, and wade on the golden sandy beach. Before returning, bring back souvenirs: Yongquan honey tangerines, Dongkui bayberries (seasonal), dried fish, and black rice mochi.

💰Budget breakdown:
Transport 800 (including car rental/boat tickets) + Accommodation 1700 + Food 600 + Attractions about 300 + High-speed rail/airfare 3800 ≈ **4500 RMB**

📌Tips:
- It’s recommended to take the Nantianmen cable car up and down Shenxianju to save energy;
- Dachen Island is windy, bring a windbreaker;
- Taizhou cuisine is mainly fresh and salty, seafood lovers must come!

⚠️Avoid:
❌ The “low-price fishing homestays” at scenic spots vary in quality, it’s best to book reputable places in advance;
❌ Shitang’s popular spots are scattered, renting an electric bike is more convenient.

Come here to climb the Great Wall and watch the winding Ling River, walk the cliff skywalk into the clouds, taste the fresh East China Sea stir-fry that will amaze you, and between mountain and sea, encounter the unrefined wild charm of Jiangnan.
