Xianju

It's not a fairyland, yet surpasses one... While Suzhou and Hangzhou are praised as "paradise on earth," the place in Jiangnan closest to "heaven" is actually this small county in Zhejiang. It brings the mythical wonderlands from tales into reality— where towering mountains pierce the clouds, merging with the sea of mist. Standing here, you'll feel like you've stumbled into an ethereal realm. This is Xianju in Taizhou, Zhejiang— the "Abode of Immortals." Dubbed China's most celestial county, it's been celebrated by poets across dynasties as a land of "divine mountains and elegant waters." Today, it's known as "Taizhou's Back Garden," "China's Most Beautiful County," and "Jiangnan's Last Shangri-La."
