This coastal town is perfect for a self-drive trip, as it has a scenic coastal road that rivals California's Highway 1, with stunning scenery on both sides that will leave you spellbound. It truly is a hidden gem of a town, with breathtaking beauty all year round. It is Yuhuan, Taizhou, a coastal town that you may have never heard of, but is quietly and charmingly beautiful.

Mount Ji

Upon arriving at Chicken Mountain Island, the first thing that catches the eye is a row of stone houses with colorful graffiti on the walls, reminiscent of the Five Fisherman Villages in Italy. The island, bathed in the sunset, possesses a unique beauty. As the fishermen retire for the day, fish lamps light up one by one, creating a beautiful reflection with the ocean.

Dalu Island

Dalujima is famous for its beauty. Every summer, people from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai come here to escape the heat. The forest coverage here reaches an astonishing 87.5%, making it a natural oxygen bar in Yuehuang. Walking in the forest, every breath is a pleasure! In addition to the forests, there are rugged and peculiar rocks, sea-eroded caves, and it is hailed as the "artistic palace of master rock carvings," unbelievably beautiful.

Dongsha Fishing Village

Dongsha Fishing Village is the most primitive ancient fishing village in Yuhuan. Stone houses are built against the mountains, layer upon layer, resembling a "Potala Palace" on the sea when viewed from a distance. Walking in the village's alleys, you can admire the colorful graffiti on the outer walls of the stone houses while experiencing the unique artistic atmosphere and the rich fishing village style. You can sit by the sea and watch the unique sun-dried fish, stand on the cliff and admire the roaring waves, and wait for the touch of the evening glow. You can also spend a night there to experience the rich fishing village style.

Egret Cay Village

If you want to see mudflats comparable to Xiapu, come to Lusiji Village. It's a photographer's paradise. The patchwork fields and rippling sea are so beautiful, like a dream. The fishermen are busy in the mudflats, and occasionally a white egret glides over the sea, giving the whole scene a sense of tranquil beauty.
Da Lei Mountain is the highest peak in Yuhuan, with a steep and towering terrain. When you reach the summit, you can witness the sunrise over the sea of clouds. The mountaintop is often shrouded in mist and fog, creating a surreal and enchanting atmosphere.

Dyke Gate Bay National Wetland Park

When you arrive at Xuanmen Bay Wetland, you will feel as if you have stepped into the Netherlands. Colorful flowers fill your vision, birds soar in the blue sky, and Dutch-style windmills emit a refreshing and enchanting atmosphere. In autumn, golden reeds sway in the wind, migratory birds skim over the grass, and the beauty under the sunset is captivating.

Kancamagus Highway

Kanxian Highway is a section of mountain road from Kanmen to Xiandie. If you want to encounter the most beautiful scenery on this road, come during springtime! When you drive through Hengkeng Village, you will pass through a sea of pink cherry blossoms, incredibly romantic and a visual feast.

Wenling Along Kong Yuhuan Lake Greenway

Everyone who comes to Yuhuan Lake will be amazed by its beautiful lake and mountains, which are no less than Erhai Lake. It is a green gem nestled between Xuanmen Bay and Yueqing Bay.
