A day trip to Shitang, where you can see both sunrise and sunset. It's so worth it!

Wenling Shitang This coastal town has been on my mind for a long time. The island that looks like the "Cinque Terre" in Italy makes me feel like I'm in a colorful fairy tale world. The colorful houses are scattered along the coast. The beach, reefs, waves, and sunrise and sunset create a dreamy picture. It satisfies all my fantasies about a seaside town.🤩 - 📍Address: Shitang Town, Wenling, Taizhou 🚘Transportation: Take a high-speed train to Wenling Station and then take a taxi (I personally recommend self-driving) - ✅[Itinerary] Day 1: Drive to Wenling - Check in to a homestay Day 2: Watch the sunrise at the homestay - Dui Jie Viewing Platform - Golden Beach - Xiaoru Village - Qilin Mountain - Return - 🏞[Must-visit attractions] 1️⃣Dui Jie Viewing Platform: Located on the top of Wuao Mountain in Shitang, you can enjoy the sea view and stone houses here.

Especially in the evening, you can watch the beautiful sunset from the top of Qilin Mountain🌇. Just make sure to choose a good weather day☀️. - 🏠[Accommodation] Pinghailinfeng Homestay I stayed at Pinghailinfeng Homestay in Shitang, Wenling. The homestay is located at the highest point of Shuguang Village, facing the East China Sea, making it a perfect place to watch the sea and sunrise. The room is spacious and comfortable, with a wide view. You can see the sunrise🌅 from the bed by opening the electric curtains. The homestay has a parking lot, and it's very convenient to drive there. There are no mountain roads, which is very friendly to novice drivers. The owner is warm and hospitable, and will remind you of the sunrise time and provide travel tips. ⭐️[Travel Tips] ①The beautiful sunrise and sunset are real, not filters. Be sure to choose a sunny day, as the probability of seeing the sunrise and sunset is higher. Good weather makes it easy to take great photos. ②Be sure to arrive at the viewing platform of "Qilin Mountain" before 5 pm to watch the sunset🌇. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. Follow the "Qilin Mountain" arrow signs along the path next to "Tianhou Temple". If you can't find the way, you can ask the friendly villagers.
