There is a saying that goes, "In heaven there is paradise, on earth there are Suzhou and Hangzhou." Jiangsu and Zhejiang are home to countless beautiful landscapes, but the low-key coastal city of Yuhuan in Taizhou is often overlooked. In fact, it is home to many breathtaking sights, and those who have visited praise it as a pearl of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Here is a detailed 3-day, 2-night travel guide to Yuhuan!
