[Taizhou Travel Guide: A Happy Home Between Mountains and Sea]
Hey friends! If you're tired of crowded tourist traps, Taizhou is the perfect escape! This hidden gem, nestled between mountains and sea, is full of surprises that will leave you saying "wow"!
Top 3 Must-See Spots:
1. Shenxianju: Do immortals really live here? Well, no, but the misty cliffside walkways will definitely make you feel like you're floating! Wear sneakers, don't be like me and wear flip-flops. My feet still remember the pain...
2. Tiantai Mountain Guoqing Temple: An ancient temple from the Sui Dynasty, with incredibly popular incense offerings! The vegetarian cuisine here is so good it can make carnivores forget they're carnivores (don't ask me how I know).
3. Dachen Island: A "mini Kenting" just an hour's boat ride away, where the seafood is so fresh it'll do a jig on your plate! Bring motion sickness medicine, don't ask me how I know... again.
Foodie Alert:
- Mai Bing: The shining star of Taizhou breakfasts, thin, crispy, and fragrant. Pair it with a bowl of tofu pudding for a perfect day!
- Ginger Soup Noodles: A bowl of this, and your cold will be halfway gone! The intense ginger flavor will make you forget your ex (just kidding... maybe).
- Sanmen Green Crab: A must-try in autumn! Full of roe and fat, just dig in with your hands. Worry about being ladylike after you're done.
Accommodation Tips:
The old town offers great value for money with its charming guesthouses, and you can stroll to Ziyang Street for late-night snacks. For ocean views, stay in Jiaojiang or Wenling, but book in advance! Peak season prices rise faster than my salary...
Transportation Tips:
Taxis are affordable within the city, but chartering or renting a car is recommended for sightseeing. Take the high-speed train to Taizhou Station or Taizhou West Station—it beats being stuck in traffic!
Final Reminders: Taizhou people sound like they're arguing when they're actually being friendly. Don't overdo it on the seafood (gout alert!), and... bring an umbrella! Don't be like me, caught in a downpour, yet still taking photos for social media.
