    Scenic Areas to Visit: Lingyan Rock + Fangdong Scenic Area (Lingyan Rock and Fangdong Cave) Admission Fee: 80 yuan/person combined ticket + 20 yuan/person round-trip shuttle bus Climbing Difficulty: Average. Most guides recommend ascending Fangdong Rock, but the descent (about 2 hours) is quite knee-wrenching. Lingyan Rock isn't too challenging, with no steep inclines. Climbing the mountain gives you a sense of sudden enlightenment. Scenic Review: The best views are along the Woyun Plank Road, which is truly stunning, with its uniquely shaped mountains and rocks. If you don't have time to visit Dalongqiu, Xiaolongqiu is also a good option. Don't go to Yangtian Lake; the name is deceptive; it's just an artificial pool. Tianxin Pavilion offers great views, but the climb is difficult and not recommended for those with limited stamina. Scenic Area Review: There's a free bus from the train station to the tourist center, which is great. The center offers free luggage storage, which is also a plus. However, the scenic area's transportation system is poor, likely due to the narrow roads, and wait times can be long on holidays.

    Baizhangyu Waterfall Scenic Area, composed of three waterfalls, one is the most shocking, with abundant water volume, like a dragon swimming in the mountains. This should be the most beautiful waterfall in China. After entering the scenic spot, it is easier to go down from Yiyi, Eryi, and Mitsubishi. There is a Jingjiao car at the exit to return to the visitor center, which is very convenient.

    In the Suixi River, for two days, I went to Yaxiaku Shiqiyan Yongjia College Cangpo Ancient Village Furong Ancient Village Lishui Ancient Street. I traveled between the ancient buildings of the landscape and the physical and mental pleasure. It was a worthwhile trip. Various scenic spots are scattered, suitable for self-driving or car rental.

    The Nanji Islands are recognized by National Geographic as one of China's ten most beautiful islands. Visiting the islands during the peak National Day holiday season is a good idea. Here are some tips: Book your round-trip ferry tickets early to have a variety of options. Once you've secured your ferry tickets, book accommodations early. Accommodation is limited and can be very tight due to the high number of people. During National Day, it's almost always fully booked, and room rates are quite high, two or three times higher than normal. The island's three most important attractions are Dasha'ao Beach, Sanpanwei, and the aquarium, so it's best to choose one of these three for convenient accommodation. Food is a bit pricey on the island, with vegetarian dishes generally around 30 yuan per serving and seafood dishes around 80 yuan. Large yellow croaker is the most expensive, costing over 100 or 200 yuan per head in many places. Our meal on the islands during National Day was generally over 100 yuan per person, and while the food wasn't great, the seafood was fresh and passable. The scenery is truly stunning, with a vibrant blue sea and beaches, just like the beautiful beaches and seas of Sanya, Hainan. It's truly stunning. However, the boat ride takes two hours each way, and I vomited a lot. Next time, I'll probably wait for a helicopter to arrive; the waves are so strong that I can't handle such a long boat ride.

    Jiangxinyu is an island in the Lijiang River north of Wenzhou City. It is one of the four major scenic spots in China. It is known as the "Island of Chinese Poetry" "World Ancient Airmarker" and "Lijiang Penglai". Jiangxin Temple was built in the fifth generation. Song Gaozong once gave the famous Longxiang Xingqing Temple, which is regarded as the Zongshi Domain. Qing Qianlong was rebuilt in 54 years. It is divided into three temples, the middle and the back, and the ancient trees of the temple are towering. On both sides of the gate, there are a combination of the words written by Song Wang Shipeng, "the clouds are scattered in the morning and the morning, and the tide is long and long and long and long and long and long and long". Many people stop and don't know how to read the sound, what does it mean? Legend has it that when Wang Shipeng stayed at Jiangxin Temple, the abbot asked him to make a pair of pairs with the title of "cloud" and "chao", Wang Shipeng created this link, and he impressed the abbot with his talents. The correct reading is the upper link "cháo (zhao) (chão) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (chao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) (zhao) Chang (chang) long (zhäng) long (chang) disappear", depicting the scene of the tide often rising, often rising, and often subsidence. Jiangxinyu is small, but famous, with a long history and deep veins. Not only is there a Buddhist temple, a celebrity poem, but also the oldest river aerospace sign, there are wells on the island, There are lakes, like Penglai Xiandao. The East and West Twin Towers are not only a temple sign, but also a navigation mark in the river. The East Tower was built in Tang Xiantong for ten years. The tower is 28 meters high, the bottom diameter is more than 8 meters, 6 surfaces and 7 floors, surrounded by blue bricks, and the tower is naturally growing with a century-old banyan tree. The West Tower was built in the second year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty. The tower is 32 meters high, 7 meters in diameter, 6-sided, 7-story, hollow, and is a pavilion-style blue brick imitation wooden structure. There are small Buddhas on each floor and each side. The stone sculptures are built in Haoran Building and Mingwanli for eight years. It is a three-open wooden structure. The name of the building is taken from the word "Haoran" in the "Zhengqi Song". Chengxian Pavilion was originally named Land and Water Pavilion, which was built in the first year of Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty. When the Ming Wanli was rebuilt in the past ten years, it was renamed Chengxian Pavilion. It is a two-story three wooden structure building. Wen Tianxiang - Ming Xianzong Chenghua was built in 18 years to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Wen Tianxiang's righteousness. From Xie Lingyun, Li Bai, Du Fu, Meng Haoran, Han Yu, Lu You and many other literati ink guests came to the city, leaving more than 800 poems, making it a "poetry holy place". Jiangxin is in the middle of the river, there is no bridge directly, you need to take the ferry to the island, you need to buy a ticket once every half an hour, and wait patiently. The scenery on the island is beautiful and the lake is rippling, which is a good place to relax.

    The Impression Nantang Night Cruise was fantastic. The one-hour boat ride featured several performances, plays, and stunning coastal scenery. The singing, dancing, and lights were all breathtaking. I highly recommend it. The open-top boat experience was even better than the pleasure boat. Watching the moon rise in the sky, the gentle breeze blowing, it was a feast for the senses and a feast for the senses.

    Under the arcade of Wuma Street, the charm of the Republic of China is perfectly blended with the bustling city! From the quaint medicine cabinet of the old Xiangshantang pharmacy to the cool window of the modern trendy brand store, every step is time and space. Must eat the corner of the "long man", thin skin wrapped in shrimp delicious bloom on the tip of the tongue. When night falls, colorful lights light up the baroque gables, and the saxophone of the street artist is accompanied by the smell of coffee. Remember to look up at the centennial merchants embedded in the riding upstairs. Hidden the legendary password of Wenzhou Shanggang.
