Changyu Stone Cave

Today, I visited Changyu Dongtian in Wenling and was deeply astonished. Upon entering the cave, a cool breeze greets you, a creation from over 1500 years ago, carved by hand from rock, forming bizarre and uniquely shaped caverns. In that era, what else but human labor was there, devoid of machinery and high technology? One can only imagine the ancient people's manual labor, hammering and chiseling day after day, to create these meandering paths and lifelike cave formations. It's impossible not to marvel at the wisdom and the superb craftsmanship of the ancients. Each cave ingeniously blends with the surrounding flora and natural scenery, forming a seamless ecological landscape, no wonder it's named as if it was naturally formed by heaven! Unexpectedly, a casually chosen scenic spot turned out to be more captivating and impressive than those deliberately selected. In my opinion, this is the most beautiful, most peculiar, most spectacular, and most awe-inspiring tourist attraction in Taizhou!

Taizhou Wenling, a travel destination that dazzles at first sight! Not only does it boast a wealth of tourist resources, but also delicious seafood and snacks, making it an absolute go-to spot for weekend outings for friends from nearby cities! 👏 This time, following a travel blogger, I specifically visited an off-the-beaten-path but charming 4A scenic area. Who would have thought that a thousand-year-old mining site could transform into a picturesque spot? From the outside, it just looks like an ordinary mountain, but once you step inside the cave, it's a whole different world! 😮 The rock carvings and murals on the cave walls are exquisitely detailed, as if telling the stories of ancient wisdom and craftsmanship. The winding and twisting maze inside the cave is mesmerizing, making you feel as if you're in a mysterious world. Standing in the vast cavern, one can't help but feel small, yet at the same time, awestruck by the magnificent scenery. 🌄 📍The location is in the Changyu Dongtian Shuangmen Dong Scenic Area in Wenling, Taizhou, Zhejiang. The joint ticket is only 110 yuan, including 4 caves and the Panda Pavilion, which is a great deal! 🎫 The business hours are from 8 am to 4:30 pm, with a playing time of about 2 hours, which is enough for you to fully appreciate the beauty here. ⏰ However, it should be noted that this place may not be very suitable for older seniors and very young children, so pay special attention when bringing family members. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 If you are driving here, just navigate to the Changyu Dongtian Shuangmen Dong Scenic Area Visitor Center, which is very convenient! 🚗 If you are using public transportation, it's also very convenient to take a taxi from the high-speed rail Wenling Station, as the transportation here is very accessible. 🚄

Everyone who comes to Taizhou usually visits the Stone Wharf Xiaoruo Village in Wenling or the Ziyang Old Street in Linhai But actually, there's another place in Taizhou that's really underrated Usually only locals know about it - 📍Address: Changyu Dongtian, Wenling, Taizhou ⏰Time: 07:30-17:00 🚗Transport: Take the high-speed train to "Wenling" station, then take a taxi or the "Changyu Dongtian Tourism Loop" bus directly - This place has been a quarry since ancient times, so the mountain has been hollowed out, leaving behind more than 1,000 caves. There's no hint of the mystery from the outside, but once you enter the mountain, you can walk along the cliffside plank paths through the mountain, enjoying various caves and rock formations, which are very interesting and no less impressive than Lishui Jinyun. - The scenic area is very large, and a detailed one-day tour guide has been organized, see below ⬇️ - 🏷️【Travel Guide】 - Tour route: Guanxi Cave—Shuangmen Cave—Shuiyun Cave—Jingming Cave - 📷【About Check-in Spots】 1⃣️Guanxi Cave It has a rare rock cave concert hall in China.

Come and see the world of jianghu in Jin Yong's martial arts novels. Changyu Dongtian is a landscape left behind after the artificial mining of slates since the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Although not naturally formed, the traces left by human activities are also considered to be the essence of Chinese stone culture, unique in the world. With a history of over 1500 years, it is a unique scenery in our country. Being there, one feels the insignificance of oneself. Among them, Guanxi Dongtian has 348 cave bodies, which are the largest cave group left by thousands of years of mining. It is deep and winding, majestic and dangerous, and is a very worthwhile sight to see. ⚠️ It is very necessary to take the sightseeing car because the joint ticket is purchased, which makes it more convenient to play a round. 🎟Ticket price: 20 yuan💰/person Sightseeing car route: Shuangmen Dongtian Scenic Area (Tourist Center) - Guanxi Dongtian (worth seeing) - Panda Pavilion - Shuiyun Dongtian (worth seeing) - Shuangmen Grottoes - Tourist Center 📝TIPS: The best way to play is to follow the sightseeing car route, because there is a very high and steep staircase at Shuiyun Dongtian. After coming up the stairs from Shuiyun Dongtian, continue walking forward to reach the Shuangmen Grottoes. From Shuangmen Grottoes to the direction of the sightseeing car, you have to go down several hundred steps, so if you play in reverse, it will be a bit tiring. There is a post office at the entrance of Guanxi Dongtian where you can send postcards, and there are stamps to stamp (sent one to myself and received it!) There is a concert hall in Guanxi Dongtian, performance times: first show 10:00-10:30, second show 13:30-13:50, third show 14:30-14:50, fourth show 15:30-15:50, where you can experience natural surround sound. "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "The Deer and the Cauldron" were filmed at Shuiyun Dongtian. There is a Changyu stone here, which is a volcanic tuff rock formed over a hundred million years ago during the Mesozoic era after a volcanic eruption. Shuangmen Grottoes, no photography allowed inside. At the entrance, there is Panlongtan, where children can play in the water, and there are small goldfish to catch. ⚠️Avoid Pitfalls⚠️ Do not take the Guanxi Dongtian boat The interior area is very small, the ticket price is 40 yuan💰/person/half hour, and it takes less than half an hour to finish, which is not cost-effective and delays the play time. 📍Address: Zhenghe Road, Changyu Town, Wenling City, Taizhou (south side of Taizhou Bay) 🎟Ticket: Shuangmen Dongtian + Guanxi Dongtian + Shuiyun Dongtian + Shuangmen Grottoes + Panda Pavilion, joint ticket 120 yuan💰(tickets for each attraction can also be purchased separately) ⏰: 8:00—17:00
