Zhejiang’s seriously underrated niche 5A scenic spot, 99% of people haven’t been!

When you think of Zhejiang’s 5A scenic spots, you only think of West Lake and Wuzhen? This time, I’ve uncovered a true “hidden gem” — Taizhou Shenxianju! It will absolutely satisfy all your fantasies about the world of immortals, plus it has fewer tourists and an immersive experience that’s off the charts! Just returned from my second visit, here’s a fresh “Fairyland Stroll” guide for you. 🤔 Why is it said to be “seriously underrated”? · Low visitor density: Compared to those crowded popular spots, here you can truly calm your mind and enjoy the pleasure of “walking in a painting.” · Unique experience: This isn’t a mountain you need to “climb,” but a peak forest you can “walk” through. The whole route features cliff elevators + cable cars + flat skywalks, super friendly for elderly and kids, truly the pinnacle of “pain-free hiking”! · Scenery definitely worth the ticket price: Typical rhyolite landforms, the rugged peaks intertwined with the softness of sea clouds, especially after rain when the mist lingers—you feel like a real immortal descending to earth. 🚠 Shenxianju Highlight Tour Route (South up, North down, most effortless) Core route: South Gate cable car up → Take the “Nantian Summit” outdoor elevator → Tour the core scenic area → North Sea cableway down. 1. Nantian Cableway: · Slowly ascend by cable car, with a bottomless abyss beneath your feet and towering peaks ahead, the journey is stunning from the start. 2. Must-visit spot ① - Ruyi Bridge: · The beauty icon of Shenxianju! A bridge combining softness and strength, spanning two cliffs. Walking on the hollow bridge deck, looking down is a hundred-meter abyss—thrilling and perfect for photos! 3. Must-visit spot ② - Lotus Terrace: · A pure “lotus flower” blooming on the cliff edge, the best spot to view “Guanyin Peak.” Also an excellent photo spot, every snap looks like a masterpiece. 4. Must-visit spot ③ - Nantian Summit Glass Viewing Platform: · A huge cantilevered glass platform, standing on it feels like soaring in the air. Daredevils can challenge it—the transparent floor reveals the mountains and rivers below. 📝 Practical Info & Hard-earned Tips · Tickets & Fees: · Ticket: about 110 RMB/person (advance online booking recommended) · Cable car: 65 RMB up, 55 RMB down (strongly recommended to buy, saves a lot of energy) · Scenic shuttle bus: about 10 RMB/person from South Gate to North Gate, essential for self-driving visitors to pick up their cars. · Transportation Guide: · High-speed rail: Get off at “Yongkang South Station” or “Jinyun West Station,” then taxi or shuttle bus for about 1 hour. · Self-driving: Navigate to “Shenxianju Scenic Area Visitor Center,” parking lot is large. · Accommodation Recommendations: · For convenience: Stay at homestays near the scenic area for early entry the next day. · For comfort: Stay in Xianju County town, more options and better value. · Best Time to Visit: · The day after rain clears! Highest chance to see the sea of clouds, very magical. · Avoid holidays for a much better experience. · Outfit Suggestions: · Definitely wear comfortable sports shoes! Although the skywalk is flat, the route is not short. · Bright colors (red, white, yellow) stand out beautifully against the green mountains and waters in photos. The beauty of Shenxianju is a grandeur that touches the soul. It proves that true treasures often quietly hide among mountains and waters. If you’re tired of crowds and crave a real natural wonder trip, then Shenxianju is definitely your next must-go destination. Save this guide and unlock this seriously underrated 5A fairyland!
