This inn is too beautiful! Watching the sea sunrise is achievable
'Since Luxury Wilderness' is located at the top of Shitang Haili Village, the simple design of the stone house elements perfectly interprets the rustic, natural and high-end Wabi-sabi style. The room faces the sea with a wide view, and the greenery and sea and mountains can be seen everywhere. Any shot is a masterpiece.
The rooms are distributed in a scattered and orderly manner, and each area has an independent courtyard.
The inn has a large lawn, infinity pool, tea room, and entertainment room.
The entertainment facilities are complete and private.
Whether it's a family outing, a private party, or a company team building, it's a good choice.
The butler's service is also very careful and thoughtful~
Places to take pictures in the inn
Infinity pool
The large lawn can take pictures of the sea

A mini Croatia just 2 hours away from Wenzhou! It's so beautiful that it's killing me
▫️▪️▫️▪️▫️
⛵️This year's holiday is coming particularly late, not until the end of January, I'm almost unable to hold on! So I decided to have a spontaneous mini vacation with my friends.
⛵️My friend chose the destination, and I was immediately captivated by its beauty upon arrival.
⛵️I couldn't help but exclaim: Taizhou! Wenling! You guys are missing out! Like Harbin in the past, hiding everything, why not show off such a great place earlier!
/
⛵️|Why go abroad? It's even better here!
—————————————————
▪️Huge coastal grassland, clean and flat.
▪️Infinity pool facing the sea, clear and high-end.
▪️Layered sea-viewing steps, wide view.
-
▫️I've been to Wenling no less than three times, each bay has its own scenery, only this area is full of exotic feeling!
▫️Whether it's hardware or soft decoration, there's nothing to pick on.
▫️The outdoor natural landscape is paired with various well-designed buildings, and the interior design in Wabi-sabi style is matched with mid-century furniture, it's hard not to love living here!
/
⛵️|2 days and 1 night, give yourself a break!
—————————————————
▫️Some people sit on the grass, some nest on the roof of the building, and some just sit on the chair at the door of their room, everyone spends the afternoon here in their own way.
▫️The seaside wind is not as cold as imagined, but it lowers the temperature brought by the sunlight, making it even more comfortable.
-
▪️A 5-minute walk from the guesthouse is Wenling's viewing platform, where you can have a 320-degree view of the sea.
▪️You can also enjoy Wenling's special dishes in the guesthouse's restaurant, and it's only a 15-minute drive to the Golden Beach, where there are coffee and snacks by the sea.

Encountered the "Five Fishing Villages" of the East, with a two-day and one-night itinerary in Taizhou
Taizhou is really a treasure trove, with two such good places, both colorful beauty and historical and cultural accumulation.
This time, taking advantage of the weekend, I came to visit and also sorted out a two-day and one-night relaxed and comfortable itinerary for your reference.
🚗Transportation: Choosing to rent a car is more convenient because the two places to go are far from Taizhou city. Rent a car on the platform and choose a high-score company. Be sure to choose the kind of home delivery and pick-up car. I chose the junction of Taizhou West High-speed Railway Station, which is very convenient. You can take the car down the high-speed rail and directly get on the high-speed rail after returning the car.
📖Itinerary:
✨Day 1: Xiaoruo Village (P1-P8)
After getting the car, you can go directly to Xiaoruo Village (just navigate to Xiaoruo Village), which is the place known as the "Five Fishing Villages" of the East. It takes about an hour and a half to drive from Taizhou West Station. The road conditions are good and beginners don't have to worry. The buildings here are colorful, like a palette overturned by God. In the afternoon, you can stroll around the small fishing village, eat a bowl of fresh seafood noodles, and sometimes if you are lucky, you can see the local fishing boats coming back to unload the caught fish. At sunset in the evening, climb to the top of Kirin Mountain (the last section is a bit steep, wear comfortable shoes) to watch the beautiful sunset of Xiaoruo Village.
✨Day 2: Taizhou Prefecture City (P9-P16)
This is a very charming ancient city. After experiencing it, I feel that it is better than 95% of the ancient cities in China. The ancient city is located in Linhai City, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Taizhou. It takes 50 minutes to drive from Taizhou. Walking on the antique streets, it seems to travel back to that prosperous era. The main street of the ancient city is as long as 6 kilometers, and it takes some time to walk through. Many shops are operated by local residents, living upstairs and doing business downstairs, very lively.
🏠Accommodation: Sheraton Taizhou Hotel
The hotel has only been open for a few months, and the facilities are very new. The brand-new Sheraton design, the style is refreshing, and the bedding is also very good. The hotel also provides a very rich breakfast, the noodle stall and egg stall are great.

2. The houses in Xiaoruo Village are really colorful, not filters, it's very photogenic with good weather, many stairs are also colorful
3. Go to the viewing platform of 'Kirin Mountain' to watch the sunset in the evening
The uphill journey takes about 20 minutes, starting from the small road next to 'Tianhou Palace'
Just follow the 'Kirin Mountain' arrow signs, if you get lost, the villagers will kindly guide you

Don't miss the rainbow guardrail stairs near the top
【Where to stay?
Qiheng Stone House
Next to the seaside lighthouse, open the door and the balcony is the sea view

It has long been Amway to this iridescent fishing village not far from Wenzhou, which is not far from Wenzhou, where I live. It is dyed in Wutang
this small village. It looks like a colored horse. Caron is as cute and sweet as it is
It is the sunset that reveals the color of the whole village on the mountainside.
Location: Shitang Xiaoling, Wenling, Taizhou, Zhejiang, China
: Wenling High Speed Railway Station / Taizhou, Hangzhou Airport
Introduction:
is a small fishing village by the sea built on the middle of the mountain. I painted the house in a different color but the color is too light, so it looks like a non-hh/normal like macaron. So it is also called Makaron Fishing Village
Shooting time:
2 hours (the best sunset time) The fishing village is not enough to catch the 2 hours before sunset. It is enough to shoot your own big movie
dressing recommendation:
small village color is light but The colors are more diverse, so it is more recommended to wear lighter clothes such as light pink or white according to the season. With
shooting angle and technique Raiders:
Xiaoyan Village where the film is in the innermost fishing village, the location is just messy and basically can't shoot anything that needs to go to the innermost sea The local view is wide and you can see the sea and the colored buildings
The one closest to the sea is a building with pink and arched walls. It is especially suitable for concave shapes
12 sitting on top or relying on The above can be the land below, so it is not too dangerous
Figure 3 For the arched shape just mentioned, or as a background can highlight the layering
Figure 4 pink wall when the sun shines And the shadow of the wall as a demarcation point fashion blockbuster
Figure 5 behind the fishing village pier to do the background
Figure 67 walked to the sea below the reef on the sea to face the sea spring blossoms
map 8The arched buildings here are also very good for shooting the distant sea through it.

The suddenly popular Rainbow Island is worth a leisurely visit
During the holiday, I took a road trip with friends to this colorful little island, which is actually a small fishing village in Shitang Town, Taizhou. Due to traffic restrictions during the holidays, personal vehicles are not allowed to enter, and you have to go to a designated location to transfer to a shuttle bus to reach the island.🏝️
The moment you enter the island, the reality version of the online pictures hits you in the face. All the little houses on the island are painted in vibrant colors, and they are really beautiful and photogenic.
As soon as you get off the bus, the smell of the ocean is really strong. Luckily, as Ningbo locals who often eat seafood, we got used to the smell after a while.🦀
The island is not very big, and you can basically tour it in one day. The houses are built along the hillside with stone steps, and it can be a bit tiring to walk continuously.
However, there are many cafes on the island. The one we went to is at the highest point of the island, and everything from the environment to the decor is top-notch, with decent service. But you have to buy a ticket to enter their cafe, which can be exchanged for coffee, drinks, or food. This is probably to prevent people from just coming in to take photos without making a purchase, which could lead to overcrowding.☕️
There are also many snack stalls on the island. The fried shrimp cakes are really delicious, and we also bought some dried fish and seafood to take home, which were reasonably priced and tasty.🐟
While my friend was taking photos, I was enjoying the sea breeze and nibbling on a popsicle by myself, feeling a sense of happiness growing wildly.

No need to take a boat, I fell in love with this island in Taizhou that can be reached by car
No need to take a boat, I fell in love with this island in Taizhou that can be reached by car.
Watching the sea in Shitang is still quite niche, the key is that you don't need to take a boat or a ferry, making it very ok for a holiday trip.
There isn't too much commercial development here,
allowing you to truly get close to nature, enjoy nature,
and take in the beauty of the sea and sky as one.
But you must pick a good weather day.
Location: Shitang Peninsula, Wenling, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province
Transportation: Take the high-speed train to 'Wenling Station' and get off
(Recommended to drive yourself, as the scenic spots are quite scattered and transportation is inconvenient)
Recommended Attractions
Pearl Beach:
Located within the Coastal Greenway scenic area, it is a beach even smaller than Golden Sand Beach, special in that there is no sand on the beach, only pebbles, and you might inadvertently find mini conches under your feet. With the sea waves, beach, and rocks, if you encounter good sunny weather, it's very photogenic.
Shitang Old Street:
Completely devoid of commercial atmosphere, not many tourists. The old street is very quiet. Everywhere you look are old stone houses and stone buildings, scattered in an orderly fashion, yet full of the traces of time. The fishermen living here have a kind of leisurely contentment as if they are cut off from the world.
Golden Sand Beach:
On a sunny day, the seascape of Golden Sand Beach is really beautiful! You can play in the water and sand, with tickets at 30r/person, half price for children. On the other side of Golden Sand Beach, there is a children's amusement area, with many free seats where you can bask in the sunshine while enjoying the seascape, very delightful~
Coastal Greenway:
Walking along this greenway, feeling the sea breeze, and viewing the seascape really gives you a vacation vibe. Near sunset, the setting sun shines on the island, turning it golden, as if you are in a foreign country.
Colorful Xiaoruo Village:
Besides the Opposite Rings Viewing Platform, this colorful little village is also quite an internet-famous spot. There are many photo spots here, and on the first floor, there are various stalls selling sea products. There is also a place called 'Sea View Platform' here, which is said to be a good spot for watching the sunset~
Opposite Rings Viewing Platform:
A must-visit place in Shitang! The view is really amazing! You can see most of Shitang's scenery, and it's great for taking photos, watching the sunrise, and watching the sunset! It can get a bit crowded during holidays, so you need to set off early.
Tips: It's windy by the sea, so wear a good coat. Also, be sure to bring sun protection products, mosquito repellent products, etc.

China's Santorini! This is Taizhou, Zhejiang
Everyone says 'There is heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below,' but little do they know, Zhejiang hides such a fairy-tale travel destination! As the endpoint of the Tang Poetry Road in eastern Zhejiang, this place is as beautiful as if it stepped right out of a poem.
Do not come here alone, or you will regret it like I did: no one to take beautiful photos for you!!

I'm driven crazy🤣🤣❗️ by the unique landscapes and city characteristics of China❗️|||⭐️I have carefully selected 5 incredibly beautiful scenic spots in China, which are absolutely comparable to any place abroad!
📸Zhejiang Province—Taizhou City—Wenling City—Taizhou's Colorful Xiaoruo Village
Friends jokingly call this place the domestic version of Italy's Cinque Terre.
Recommended visiting time: June to August, when the weather is warm and it's easier to appreciate the beautiful sunset.
📸Guangdong Province—Foshan City—Shunde—Louvre International Furniture Exhibition Center
This European square hidden inside the largest furniture market in China, with its Constellation Square on the fifth floor, feels incomparably spectacular, and the effect is even better with a wide-angle lens.
Recommended visiting time: Any time is good.
📸Zhejiang Province—Ningbo City—Huao Stone Forest Scenic Area
The towering stones here are somewhat similar to the basalt columns of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula in Iceland, very unique.
Recommended visiting time: June to August, when the weather is warm and more suitable for photography.
📸Qinghai Province—Haixi Prefecture—Mangya City—Mars Camp
In addition to the lack of any vegetation and the distinct landforms, there is also a sulfur lake as the finishing touch, which doesn't look like the surface of the Earth at all!
Recommended visiting time: June to August, when the weather is warm.
📸Guizhou—Xingyi—Jilongbao Tourist Resort
This castle with Gothic-style architecture, known as the 'Chinese version of Neuschwanstein Castle', is located by the Wanfeng Lake, just like a castle from a fairy tale.
Recommended visiting time: June to August, when the weather is clear and even more beautiful.

Leisurely walking to the surrounding viewing platforms, looking far into the distance, you'll see the undulating sea and the returning fishing boats, weaving a tranquil and harmonious picture under the sunset. 🌅⛵️

To explore the colorful secret realm, Xiaoruo Village is located in Shitang Town, Wenling City, Zhejiang Province. The specific address is: Xiaoruo Village, Shitang Town.
Transportation hub: 🚗 It is recommended to choose self-driving, as there is a parking lot on the island (however, parking spaces are limited, please try to avoid peak holiday periods).

📷📸【Photography Pro Tips】
Due to the rich and diverse background colors, it is recommended to wear light-colored clothing to come here, forming a stark contrast with the splendid buildings, and take fashionable photos!
🔔❗️ Although Xiaoruo Village possesses unique beauty, please note that some areas of the houses are undergoing renovation and maintenance, which may appear slightly messy. Also, weathered by the years and sea breeze, some of the bright colors and stone steps of the houses have faded from their original makeup, presenting a different kind of rustic charm. Therefore, friends who are visiting, please keep reasonable expectations and feel its true and natural beauty. Even so, this place is still worth stopping by to savor, capturing the stories of the sea and time with your heart.

The small island that you still long for after visiting
Visited the small island that I still long to visit again📍Wenling Shitang|||You must go when the weather is good!!!
The photos turned out great (I went around May Day, and although the sun was strong, it wasn't hot at all, sunscreen is recommended)
📍My route: Wenling Station—Bus—Shitang—Xiaoruo Village—Duijie Viewing Platform
(Recommend driving by yourself, as the attractions are quite far from each other, but during holidays there's traffic control in the scenic area, and non-local license plates are not allowed in)
📍Recommended spots: Duijie Viewing Platform⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
p3 Very photogenic, we took a taxi to the top of the mountain, where you can overlook the sea. There's a restaurant near the viewing platform, and we happened to encounter a lawn wedding there, p1.p4.
Xiaoruo Village⭐️⭐️⭐️
p10-12, pretty standard, there's a coffee shop inside with a nice view, you can take photos inside but you have to make a purchase first
📍Food: There are many local delicacies on the square next to Xiaoruo Village, with a lot of local seafood. We randomly chose a place and had seafood noodles, which tasted great! You can also try the local boiled shrimp, which is quite affordable!
📍Accommodation is not recommended, as we only played for one day. However, if you have more time, you could also visit Jiaojiang and Linhai for more delicious food, which are accessible by taking the S1 line to Jiaojiang, quite convenient

Wenling, Taizhou | Sunset at Xiaoruo Village
| Sunset at Xiaoruo Village. Wenling, Taizhou | Sunset at Xiaoruo Village
I came to Wenling just for the sunset at Xiaoruo Village. After arriving, I asked the local residents and there was a route, right across from the colorful Xiaoruo Village. Just follow the signs on the wall and climb to the top of Qilin Peak to see the sunset.
For someone like me who climbs for a minute and rests for two, it only took about 20 minutes. The moment I reached the top and overlooked the scenery below, I felt that everything was worth it.
Buddies, remember to check the weather before you come, and also remember that the sunset time varies with different seasons. Make sure to plan ahead before climbing, so you don't miss this beautiful view.

No exaggeration, I went there with a sense of disappointment at first
😒 I've read many bloggers' reviews about Xiaoruo Village, both good and bad.
🤔 I kept wondering if those incredibly beautiful pictures were real or not.
🚶 Until I personally arrived at Xiaoruo Village and witnessed the sunset over the sea...
😍 Only then did I realize what the most beautiful sunset looks like! So breathtakingly beautiful! 👏
📍 Location: Taizhou Wenling Shitang Colorful Xiaoruo Village, it's recommended to drive there yourself~ 🚗
🧗 Sunset Viewing Platform: Once you get to Xiaoruo Village, you can ask the local villagers for directions to the viewing platform. Then just follow the direction of the Qilin Mountain sign and keep going. The viewing platform is on the mountain, and it requires some climbing, but you can reach the top in about half an hour! 🧗
📢 Note: If you only want to see the sunset, make sure to choose a clear day 🌞, check the sunset time, and time your climb accordingly. Otherwise, you might end up like me, waiting on the mountain for two hours 😭.
🚴 It's recommended to spend about two days in Shitang, as there are many fun attractions nearby. You can rent an electric scooter to ride around the sea, take a ferry to Black Pearl Beach to play in the water, or take a walk on the Binhai Boulevard. The seaside is really healing and comfortable! Shitang is worth your visit! 🤩

Depart from Changsha by high-speed rail directly to the underestimated niche sea-viewing spot for the National Day holiday
If you want to see the sea, don't go to the crowded hot spots!
High-speed rail 1 from Changsha directly to Taizhou, taking a child for three days and two nights, is also a very leisurely way to play!
The blue sky and the sea are the same color, the children are very excited to see the sea, and they have been digging crabs on the fine sandy beach for a long time.
In the evening, I watched the sunset in Xiaoruo Village. The internet-famous spots are really average, but it can't stop the children's excitement. The colorful houses on the stones, drinking coffee on the roof, and buying special products from the small fishing village.
Strolling through the thousand-year-old Ziyang Ancient Street, visiting the local submarine base, it's niche but the children learn a lot!
Learn about the local profound history and culture in Taizhou Museum, sing in the fishing boat in the evening, smoke curling up, seafood wants to eat all, in short, there will always be expectations when going to different places!
