Taizhou Wenling! A seaside courtyard where the ocean is right outside your door~ So city-chic!

"In Wenling, I found a real-life version of the courtyard from 'Our Little Sister'!"

Waking up to the sound of waves, opening the door to endless blue—

Shitang's colorful houses, Pearl Beach's black reefs, Xiaoruo Village's sunset filter...

This coastal town in eastern Zhejiang has "relaxation" etched in its DNA!

Is simply turning days into a poem as free as the sea breeze."
