Taizhou! You are such an underrated treasure city!😍

I've been to Taizhou 10 times
Wenling Shitang, Linhai Ziyang Old Street, Tiantai, and Xianju
Tired of these popular spots?
This time, my local bestie unlocked a divine secret place for me👇
Wenling's Changyu Dongtian Scenic Area
With over 1,000 mysterious caves dating back 1,500 years
It's truly a paradise for adventure lovers!🏞️
Strolling along the cliff plank road
Feels like stepping into the plot of "The Lost Tomb"
The best part is the caves stay cool in summer! A constant 23°C
Even more comfortable than air conditioning~
.
🚗「Transportation Guide」
High-speed train takes 1h30min direct! Hangzhou East → Wenling Station
Then just 30 yuan by taxi to the scenic area entrance~
More convenient than going to Moganshan!

🚶【Must-Do Route Follow to Avoid Getting Lost】

About 3-4 hours in total
Recommend wearing comfortable sports shoes! There’s quite a bit of walking~
