Linhai Jiangnan Great Wall
The Taizhou City Wall stretches from Lansheng Gate in the east to Jingyue Gate in the west, with a total length of 6,280 meters, of which 4,730 meters remain. As the blueprint for the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing, the autumn scenery of the Jiangnan Great Wall is truly worth seeing.
❗️Recommendation: The ladder at Lansheng Gate has scared off many lazy people, but if you want to take it easy, you can start from the City God Temple. The uphill climb is less steep, the downhill is easy, and you can also pass by the best photography spot 🎬
