🚶♂️ I've discovered a hidden hiking trail even more beautiful than Shuitong'ao! It's in Wenling, Taizhou, known as Zhejiang's version of the "MacLehose Trail"!
👣 7 km with 4 hidden wonders:
**Shuitong'ao Beach:** A breathtaking beach like an oil painting 🌊
**Razor Ridge:** A stairway to heaven in the clouds, thrilling yet exciting ⛰️
**White Bone Reef:** Wind-sculpted reef clusters, nature's artwork 🗿
**Wild Stone Steps:** Steps leading to the azure sea, like a gateway to another world 🌿
🥾 Hiking guide:
**Navigation:** Xiaojiao Chen Village (plenty of parking)
**Duration:** 4 hours (including photo time)
**Route:** Clockwise loop, challenging first then rewarding, for the best experience! Village entrance → Fengmen Ridge → Tianmen → Dayanshan → White Bone Reef → Ziyu Point → Shuitong'ao Beach
🌟 Important notes:
Bring enough water! Supplies only available at Shuitong'ao Beach.
Wear non-slip hiking shoes and bring trekking poles as some sections are slippery.
It's windy on the ridge, so wear a windproof hat.
Watch your step, safety first!
📷 Photography Tips:
Visit on a sunny day for better lighting.
Use a telephoto lens to capture the compression effect of the ridge line.
When passing the ridge, turn back and photograph Shuitong'ao Beach with a telephoto lens for a unique perspective.
A telephoto lens can also make the "Mt. Fuji" on the sea appear larger!
