Taizhou

A city of mountains and sea, where Tiantai Mountain's Buddhist and Daoist heritage, Shenxianju's peaks and Linhai's old town complement each other.

Taizhou lies on the coast of central Zhejiang, backed by mountains and facing the sea, a seaside city in the southeast of eastern Zhejiang. Tiantai Mountain is the birthplace of the Tiantai school of Buddhism, home to the long-established Guoqing Temple, and is also regarded as a famous Daoist mountain. Shenxianju in Xianju is known for its rhyolite peak forest of volcanic origin and its cliffside walkways. In Linhai, the Taizhou Prefectural City preserves the "Great Wall of Jiangnan" and Ziyang Street, while island and beach scenery such as Shitang in Wenling, Dalu Island, and Dachen Island in Jiaojiang are also very popular. Spring and autumn are best for mountain trips, and summer for island trips. You can arrive via Taizhou Luqiao Airport, or by the Ningbo–Taizhou–Wenzhou railway or the Hangzhou–Wenzhou high-speed railway.
