Yuhuan
Do a day trip to Yuhuan for beaches, 4A parks and fresh seafood; stay overnight only if you want to explore the islands.
Yuhuan is a coastal island city in Zhejiang with clean air, two national 4A scenic spots, many seafood restaurants and easy bus/taxi links from Taizhou. It lacks a railway and airport, so most visitors arrive by bus from nearby airports and spend a half‑day to a full day there. Overnight stays are optional for island hopping.

- Water
- Not for drinking from the tap; bottled water ¥2–5, and kettles and free bottles in hotel rooms. Restaurants serve hot water or tea.
- Toilets
