🗺、CityWalk Route
DAY1⃣️: Xuanmen Bay Wetland Park - Yuhuan Lake Landscape Bridge - Chumen Old Street - Jishan Island - No. 1 Highway/Niu Tou Jing Sunset 🌇 - Xiqing Street.
🐔 Jishan Island
Known as the "Potala Palace by the Sea in Taizhou," the colorful houses complement the harbor scenery, making it perfect for photo opportunities. Tickets are only CNY 12.
On the island, you can experience the slow pace of life in a fishing village. We recommend enjoying the sunset in the evening.

It combines natural ecology and family activities. You can take a small train to tour the park (CNY 20/person). Migratory birds inhabit the area in winter, and reeds and lotus ponds can be appreciated in spring. Photo spots: Reed Catwalk, Viewing Platform, Wind Power Station.
⛩ Chumen Old Street
Chumen Old Street retains the old city style, perfect for experiencing slow living. Don't miss the street food at the entrance. Damaiyu is close to the port. You can fish or take a walk at sunset to experience the fishing port atmosphere.
🌠GD: 📍Taizhou No. 1 Highway.
🌈Check-in: A must-drive in this lifetime! The No. 1 Highway along the Dragon Backbone Line by the sea winds along the majestic mountain ridge. As you wind along the highway, the large windmills turn slowly, and the sea sparkles, as if you are in a moving painting. It's absolutely amazing.
Food recommendations: 🍱
1⃣ Damu Claypot Rice 🍚
Known as the popular claypot rice that may sell out if you go at 8am. The salty and savory glutinous rice with plenty of sauce, plus sweet milk, is a perfect match!
2⃣ Seaport Claypot Rice 🍘
Relatively drier than Damu, the soup is also lighter. It is served with peach resin, which is also very delicious and worth a try!
3⃣ Chumen Old Street Fried Food 🍡
It is said that this shop has opened several branches, starting with fried pork chops and spare ribs. We ordered a portion of pork chops, CNY 20 of spare ribs, and 5 chicken wings, which was quite a lot.
4⃣ Wangwang Four Seasons Beef Hot Pot 🥘
It is said to be the most popular beef hot pot in Yuhuan. As expected, it was already full by 5pm. Overall, the beef is very fresh and the taste is good.
5⃣ Xiaoping Breakfast 🥟
No. 187, Xianqian Road, Yuhuan City, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province
The small shop is full of people, full of the atmosphere of the city.
6⃣ Xiaotou Noodle Restaurant (Dongsheng Street Branch) 🍝
No. 66, Dongsheng Road, Damaiyu Street, Yuhuan City, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province
Known as the "King of Noodles in Yuhuan", the most expensive abalone noodles cost CNY 1,688 a bowl.
