Mountainous getaway offers array of attractions

Taizhou, in the southern province of Zhejiang, is an ideal mountain getaway for anyone looking to escape the modern world.

Known as a key manufacturing base, Taizhou is also home to beautiful mountains and Buddhist destinations, some of which are expected to be declared top scenic spots by the National Tourism Administration in the near future.

Guoqing temple, tucked away in Tiantai Mountain, about two hours' drive from Hangzhou, the capital city of Zhejiang, is home to China's first indigenous branch of Buddhism: The Tiantai school of Buddhism.
