Taizijian Peak

太子尖

A mountain road and lookout in western Lin'an near the Anhui border. Its hairpin bends earn it the nickname “Zhejiang's Sichuan–Tibet Line,” and the sunrise and sea of clouds from the summit draw self-drivers.

Taizijian is in the mountains of western Lin'an, on the border with Anhui. A winding mountain road climbs its slopes. Because of its layered bends and wide views, self-drivers and cyclists have dubbed it the “Zhejiang mini Sichuan–Tibet Line.” Near the summit there are a roadside rest station and campsites. On clear mornings you can watch the sunrise and sea of clouds, and in autumn the hillsides are ablaze with colour. The road is narrow with many sharp bends, so drive slowly, especially in rain or fog. Traffic is heavy on public holidays, and rear-end collisions have happened before. Admission is free. The drive from Lin'an's urban area takes about 1.5–2 hours.
