Can't stay at home during the holiday, so I chose Taizhou, which is not far from Nanjing. 🚘It took more than an hour to drive there, and the highway is 🆓 during the holiday, which is really nice! It's like a reverse tourism, there are not many people in Taizhou, and the road is smooth🚙 🕛Arrived at noon, just in time for brunch. 🏮Huibin Building, open during the Spring Festival, and it's easy to park nearby. ✔️Signature crab roe bun, 30💰 each, big size, full of crab roe inside, not fishy, tastes quite fragrant, the bun skin is also sweet, it's indeed a local specialty. ✔️The fresh shrimp dumplings are also very fragrant, the meat filling is firm, there are shrimp inside, the soup is fresh and sweet, tastes good～ ✔️Rice straw bun is also quite special, it has a refreshing taste when you eat it. Also ordered hot dry silk, beef bun, thousand layer cake, shumai, fish slice wonton, they all taste okay, just over intake of carbohydrates😂 🕜After eating, walk for 20 minutes to the Plum Garden, visit Mr. Mei Lanfang's house, no need for tickets, just make a reservation by scanning the code. The garden is not big, but it's quite exquisite, has the atmosphere of Jiangnan garden, there is also an introduction of Mr. Mei Lanfang, it's good to bring children to see. 🕝After visiting the Plum Garden, cross a bridge and you are at Taizhou Old Street. To be honest, the old streets everywhere are quite similar, just some snacks and toys. Had a lotus root starch ball, it tastes okay～ ⛲️Taizhou is not big, there are also morning tea museum, peach garden near the old street, but we were a bit tired, so we went back to Nanjing. 🌆No plan for a long trip, a day trip city walk is quite relaxing, change a city, eat some delicious food, walk around, see different scenery～

📍Across the street from the Mei Lanfang Park (Mei Garden) is the 600-meter-long Taizhou Old Street, an antique tourist attraction developed on a piece of farmland and residential land in 2009, a 3A scenic spot. 📍The 'young' old street, with its ancient buildings of green bricks and black tiles, the small alleys paved with sesame stones from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the lingering fragrance of snacks, and the intangible cultural heritage elements of Taizhou, reflect the worldly happiness. Next to the old street is the Peach Garden. Standing by the Fengcheng River, slowly admire the Taizhou landmarks across the river - Wanghai Building, Wenfeng Tower, TV Tower framed with the sunset, and experience the slow life of this small city... 📍These days CCTV is filming activities at Wanghai Building, which is not open to the public. It seems that Wanghai Building in the Peach Garden of Fengcheng River Scenic Area is the C position. It seems that Taizhou is going to be 🔥👻👻 this Spring Festival.

Departing from Shanghai to Taizhou by car takes about 4 hours. The city of Taizhou is not big, two days is enough! ✅Taizhou attractions 1️⃣Taizhou Old Street Recommended to go at night, the night view is better.

Taizhou Old Street is located outside the Taoyuan Scenic Area on the bank of the Fengcheng River. It's a small alley from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Passing through the ancient archway, you enter the old cobblestone streets. The shops on both sides of the street are in the ancient style, with strings of big red lanterns hanging all over the arcade corridor. The signs, plaques, and banners of each shop complement each other. Walking through it, it's as if you're traveling through time and space. At the end of the alley, you can see western restaurants, coffee shops, and craft stores everywhere, all of which inject new vitality into this old street area. Feel free to stroll around here and taste the collision of old street historical architecture and modern fashion.

If you go to Taizhou, Mei Garden is definitely a place I would recommend. Mei Garden is a garden-style memorial hall mainly composed of Ming and Qing architecture, commemorating the Peking Opera master Mr. Mei Lanfang. From Shanghai to Taizhou, the high-speed rail takes about 2 hours. If you go to Mei Garden, it is closer to get off at Taizhou Station. It is less than 10 kilometers by taxi and takes more than 20 minutes. The location of Mei Garden is in the Fengcheng River Scenic Area of Hailing District. This scenic area has many attractions, including the old street, Wanghai Tower, Mei Garden, Taoyuan, and so on. I only had half a day, so I chose two places to visit. One is the old street, and the other is Mei Garden. The two places are not far apart. The feeling of the old street is somewhat similar to the City God Temple in Shanghai. If time is limited, you can go or not. Mei Garden is really worth a visit. Although I have been to many small and large gardens, the layout of Mei Garden still makes people feel bright, elegant and quiet. Stepping into it makes people feel very comfortable. Mr. Mei's life, artistic achievements, and personality style are presented one by one here. Although I am not a fan of Peking Opera, it does not prevent me from being moved by the gentleman's style. Mei Garden is free to visit. The delicate and elegant beauty of Jiangnan is fully displayed here, with pavilions, towers, flowing water and long corridors. Temperament is purely a feeling. The same Jiangnan thinking, the same tree water pavilion scenery, the effect may be different. It takes about 1.5 hours to visit, the pace is not fast and the mood is pleasant, and I still feel unfinished after walking around.
