Camping has become a popular outdoor activity since the pandemic, and Taizhou is no exception. So, where in Taizhou are there beautiful places suitable for camping? Below, we’ll recommend several great camping spots for you to explore!
1、Linhai·Kuocang Mountain
The Kuocang Mountain Beehive Camping Base is located within the planned meteorological station northeast of Kuocang Mountain National Forest Park, covering an area of about 2,800 square meters. As the morning light breaks over the rolling mountains, it casts a golden glow on the green sea of the forest. The colorful tents on the camping base stand out beautifully against the verdant mountains. You stand on the mountain to enjoy the view, and you become a part of the scenery yourself. At the same time, this is where the world’s highest wind farm in terms of relative altitude is located, with over 30 large wind turbines lined up along the mountain range, standing tall on the mountain peak. The wind on the mountain blows incessantly, and the wind turbines turn constantly.

Sanguan Island, also known as Hero Island, is located about 3.5 kilometers southeast of Shitang Town, Wenling City. It is a pristine island that has not yet been developed. It runs from north to south and has scenic spots such as Zhuangyuan Ao, Bai Longtou, Xieke Reef, Caoxie Reef, Hongyu, Xipeng Reef, Yixiantiany, and Zhuangyuan Cave. It was named after the abundant wild garlic that grew on the island during the Ming and Qing dynasties, which local fishermen often ate. Sanguan Island has bays on both the east and west sides. In the middle of the east side, there is a concave gravel beach, which is the best shore for sightseeing on the island. Bring your own tent or rent camping equipment from the island’s homestays. Experience camping by the sea, watch the sunrise over the sea in the early morning, enjoy the sunset’s golden glow in the evening, and marvel at the twinkling stars at night. It’s truly an unforgettable experience.

4、Xianju·Gongyu Village
Gongyu Village is hidden in a basin, surrounded by volcanic rhyolite landforms. There are no roads leading to the village, and it takes over two hours to reach it on foot. The four sides are surrounded by towering peaks, and the terraced fields are layered upon each other. The village blends with the blue sky and white clouds, creating a picture-perfect scene like a paradise on earth.
The highest peak of Gongyu Mountain reaches over 1,000 meters above sea level, while Gongyu Village sits on a mountain at an altitude of 600 meters. It is divided into Shangping Village and Xiaoping Village. The village retains its complete mountain-style ancient dwellings, with the original quaint appearance unchanged. Surrounded by the surrounding peaks, it has become a small basin.
Set up camp on the mountain and look up at the starry sky.
Compared to those resorts with exquisite homestays, this village hidden in the mountains appears somewhat “backward.” However, camping in such a village is truly a wonderful experience. As night falls, watch the starry sky and the crescent moon hanging on the mountaintop. Set up your tent, sit on the ground, and listen to the soft whispers of the breeze.
