Historically, Taizhou has a "dense network of rivers and branches", and its water town charm is no less than that of Suzhou and Hangzhou. There is a saying that "traveling through Suzhou and Hangzhou is not as good as Wenhuang". Taizhou is well-known at home and abroad for the origin of Buddhism and is the birthplace of the Tiantai Sect of Buddhism and the Southern Sect of Taoism. Tiantai Mountain, with its profound cultural connotation, has given birth to a broad and profound "Hehe Culture". Taizhou is the epitome of Zhejiang’s “seven mountains, one water and two fields”, and is an ecologically blessed land where mountains, seas and water are harmonious.
