Rooftop Scenic Area Taizhou Rooftop Flower Scenic Area

Spring happens to be March, which is the season when flowers bloom, which brings an endless stream of tourists from Nanjing, Wuhan and Hangzhou. The scenery in these cities is beautiful, but I didn’t know that the small attractions in the surrounding cities also have the flavor of Beijing Post. Today I will give you a small town in eastern Zhejiang, where you can enjoy flowers. Come and see where it is!

Zhejiang Taizhou Rooftop

Popular cities such as Hangzhou, Nanjing and Shanghai are packed with people on weekends during the season when cherry blossoms, azaleas, redbuds and tulips are in bloom. When you see it, it is the scene of "everyone has flowers, everyone has flowers", and no matter how beautiful the picture is, it will be destroyed. In fact, the better the weather is, the more time you should reserve for the surrounding small attractions, because the prerequisite for beautiful attractions is that there are fewer people!

Tiantai County is located in the eastern part of Zhejiang Province and is a county in Taizhou. Named after Tiantai Mountain in China, it borders Ninghai and Sanmen to the east, Pan'an to the west, Xianju and Linhai to the south, and Xinchang to the north. Tiantai County has a long history, rich products and beautiful scenery. It is a famous tourist attraction in Zhejiang Province and has been rated as one of the "Top Ten Most Popular Attractions in China by Europeans". Tiantai Mountain, famous for its "Buddhism, Buddhism and Taoism", is the birthplace of the Tiantai Sect of Buddhism and the founder of the Southern Sect of Taoism. There are thousands of ancient temples in China - Xiaoguo Temple, Shiliang Scenic Area, Huading Scenic Area, Qiongtai Fairy Valley, Jigong's Former Residence, Hanshan Lake, Longchuan Gorge Scenic Area and other tourist attractions.

The rooftop, a poetic place that is half landscape and half Zen, has turned into a colorful spring picture. It is strongly recommended that friends from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai add it to your favorites! On Akagi Mountain, redbuds are all over the mountains and fields. The pink and purple flowers complement each other with the majestic ancient pagodas and beautiful mountains, forming a beautiful picture. When you come to Xiaoguo Temple in spring, you will naturally be attracted by the brilliant rapeseed flowers outside. There are large areas of farmland scattered around the temple, like a real-life "little forest". This is the property of the temple and you can also see the monks working here.

Travel guide

Best travel time: Spring and autumn are suitable.

If you come to Tiantai from April to May, it is still the best time to go to Huading National Forest Park. Clouds, sunrise, azaleas and thunder plums are known as the "Four Wonders of Flower Top". Only at this time of year can you have a chance encounter with the thousand-year-old native rhododendrons on the mountain. In addition to the blooming spring scenery, there is also a long history and amazing food. This is the end of the road of Tang poetry in eastern Zhejiang, and thousands of poems describe its charm. It is not only the birthplace of the Tiantai Sect of Buddhism, the holy land of Taoism, but also the hometown of the Living Buddha. This is a hidden snack paradise with all kinds of weird names to conquer your carb stomach!

It is a good place for a meditative vacation. The hotel covers an area of ??6,000 square meters, but only 40 rooms were built. The public area, courtyard and every room space are extremely luxurious, with various new Chinese styles and room types. The hotel has 10 room types, mainly with tree view, flower view and courtyard view. Each room has a take-off area of ??55 square meters, which is extremely spacious.

The thousand-year-old ancient temple "the least commercialized in China" - the Capitol Temple

For most people, going to the rooftop is a must Go visit Xiaoguo Temple. As the first example of Chinese Buddhism, the Tiantai Sect in Japan, South Korea and some Southeast Asian countries are all named after Capitol Temple as their ancestral temples. The famous Thirty-three Temples in Kyoto, Japan are all Tiantai Sect temples. Kokuseiji is full of aroma, but not noisy or crowded. No one will tell you your fortune or buy you incense. It has also been rated as one of the "least commercialized attractions in China"

As soon as you enter the Imperial Harem, you will be impressed by the towering ancient trees and gurgling streams. Very quiet, very ethereal, very quiet, very comfortable. The gables of the temple stretch in the mottled light and shadow, and every piece of grass and tree tells a long story. Many people who have been there say that Kunikogu Shrine is a place that cannot be visited too many times. In different seasons, different weather, and even different moods, you can always meet different Xiaoguo Temples! The squirrels on Liang Meiwei, the mimosa outside the temple, the fallen leaves on the cornices, the mottled yellow walls, the moss on the steps, the long incense in the incense burner, the goddess in the shade of the wintersweet tree. Time seems to have stopped between the morning bells and evening drums~< /p>

When you come out of kokuseiji, you will pass by a rice field, which belongs to the monks. You can occasionally see the monks working here. There are rapeseed flowers in spring, rice fields in summer, haystacks in autumn, dark green in winter, and dark green trees in the distance. It is simply a real-life "small forest". The quiet and peaceful years of "Once Upon a Time Slow" are vividly reflected here. Every time you stay in such an environment, you give up more.

Azalea season in Huadingshan National Forest Park

Spring is a good time to go to Huading National Forest Park. It covers an area of ??about 58,000 acres, with mountains and peaks, such as a thousand-leaf lotus, and 72 peaks. The main peak is 1098 meters high and the sea of ??clouds is boundless. Li Bai, the poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a famous article "Xiao Wang from the Tiantai" here.

Every spring, the unique Huading azalea blooms here, as well as the thousand-year-old Buddhist tree-Yunjin azalea, Buddha tea, Huading Yunwu tea, etc. All beautiful.

Bauhinia in Chicheng Mountain Scenic Area

Since ancient times, Chicheng Mountain has been a sacred mountain where Buddhism and Taoism live in harmony. There is not only the Yujing Cave, the sixth Taoist cave, but also the famous Ziyun Cave of the Nunnery in eastern Zhejiang. It is also the place where the young Jigong studied. Emperor Wenjian lived here twice, and there is a Liangfei Pagoda on the top of the mountain.

When the flowers bloom every year, you must go to Akagi Mountain for a walk! The redbuds are in full bloom in the mountains, and the pink and purple flowers complement each other with the majestic ancient pagodas and beautiful mountains, forming a beautiful picture. While walking, people seem to walk into the picture.

TikTok’s famous Tiantai Mountain Waterfall

To say that Tiantai is currently the most popular attraction, Tiantai Mountain Waterfall is definitely the number one! The waterfall cascades down from Tongbai Mountain, with a total drop of 325 meters and a maximum width of 90 meters. It is the highest waterfall in China. We must know that the Wenzhou Baizhang Waterfall, which entered the sight of tourists in 2013, is currently certified by the Guinness World Headquarters in Shanghai as "the waterfall with the highest single-day sunset drop in China". The drop is as high as 287 meters. It reappeared after a 60-year hiatus and has attracted much attention since its trial operation in early April. Now he has become an Internet celebrity on TikTok, and even CCTV called him personally~~

"The World's No. 1 Wonder" Shiliang Waterfall

Tianjiazhu Hotel is located on the rooftop of Tianzhi Shiliang Town on the top of the mountain is quite similar to Arashiyama in Kyoto and Taroko in Hualien. The forest coverage rate here is as high as 87%, with Shiliang Scenic Area and the essence of Tiantai landscape. The core of the scenic spot is Shiliang Waterfall. As the name suggests, it means that the stone beam spans the mountains, and the waterfall flows down from here. It is one of the rare wonders in the world that combines waterfalls and stone bridges. The waterfall here flows all year round. The mountains on both sides are dense and steep, and the mountains, rocks and water complement each other. This place is not only a "popular check-in place" for literati from ancient times to the present, but also a filming location for many, such as "Shaolin Temple", Zhang Jizhong's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and so on.

Qiongtai Fairy Valley

Qiongtai Fairy Valley is located 8 kilometers northwest of Tiantai County, a 20-minute drive from the hotel. It is a valley famous for its granite landforms among the many scenic spots on Tiantai. There are cliffs confronting each other, and there are many strange peaks. There are green waters, green pools, waterfalls, and flowing springs. Among the hundreds of scenic spots on the rooftop, it is especially worth seeing. Li Bai never forgot this and wrote a poem "Qiongtai", praising "Longfu Feng Palace refused to live in, and wanted to go to the rooftop".

Nanping Township, which has magnificent scenery

In addition to major attractions, there are many small towns scattered on the rooftops, which are especially worth spending half a day to experience the floating life and leisure. The most representative one is Nanping Township, which can be called an ancient village museum. The tens of thousands of acres of terraced fields here are in the shape of a 360-degree emerald lotus, and there are magnificent terraces comparable to those in Yunnan. Climb up the Dongshan Hill Observation Deck built in the village and have a panoramic view of such a spectacular scene. There are ancient villages with a long history: Shantou Zhengcun and Cuidong Village. The former lives in an old house from the Republic of China, and the latter is built on a hill similar to the Potala Palace in Jiangnan.

There is also a Nanhuang Ancient Road that is not inferior to the Huihang Ancient Road. The Nangu Road starts from Qianyang Village, Nanping Township, Tiantai, and ends at Dafan Village, Huangtan, Linhai. It is approximately 12 kilometers long. Built more than 1,000 years ago, it was an important private trade channel in eastern Zhejiang until the Qing Dynasty. To date, it is one of the best-preserved ancient roads in China. Around October every year, the maple trees on both sides of the ancient road gradually turn from green to red, and autumn colors are everywhere. It is a good place for little people to enjoy autumn.

Delicious traditional Fuqiang food.

The rooftop is like a hidden snack paradise, and the food here is equally down-to-earth. Wheat cakes, paste, dumpling cones, flat food, sticky cakes, beef soup, beef offal soup, chicken tea. After Xiao Feijun’s test, this is definitely a place that can heal people with delicious food ~ When it comes to where to eat, it’s not far away The hotel is not far from the old town and is an excellent choice. Less than 10 minutes' drive away, almost all the old shops are on the street.

You can find any snack bar without stepping on the wrong side of the road. It’s a Zen town and you have no one to rely on.
