Zhejiang's seriously underrated Chinese version of the "Cinque Terre"! Wenling Shitang 2-Day Travel Guide

Shitang Town in Ling is truly my favorite! It's called the "Chinese Cinque Terre," and every shot looks like a blockbuster 💖 Here's a super detailed guide, quickly save it~

🚗 Transportation Guide
· For out-of-town friends: Take the high-speed train to "Wenling Station," then taxi or bus for 1 hour directly; highly recommend self-driving! From Hangzhou/Shanghai, it takes 4-5 hours, and the coastal scenery along the way is breathtaking~🌅
· For local trips: Suggest renting a small electric scooter for 50 yuan/day, super convenient for weaving through the fishing village, full of artistic vibes 🛵

✨ Must-Visit Spots
📍 Colorful Xiaoruocun Village: A palette spilled by God 🎨 The houses are colorful and super healing, best to come in the morning to avoid backlight when shooting! Remember to bring plenty of clothes for instant Instagram-style photos~
📍 Millennium Dawn Park: The first place in mainland China to see the sunrise 🌄 On Dawn Avenue, it’s said couples who come here become very happy 💕
📍 Coastal Greenway: 8km of stunning coastline for cycling or walking, I absolutely love the sea breeze here! If you don’t want to walk, you can take the sightseeing bus, a blessing for the lazy~🌊
📍 Golden Sand Beach: The sand is soft and fluffy! You can swim and hunt for seafood in summer, with plenty of seafood restaurants nearby, a foodie’s paradise 🐟
