Wang Hai Lou
Newly-constructed tower in scenic riverside area.
The former Chinese leader Hu Jintao was born in an old neighborhood in Jiangyan. Good luck figuring out which house it is if you don't have a local to show you around—it's not marked in any way. But the old houses are interesting to walk through regardless.

By plane
By taxi
Taxis are plentiful and cheap with flagfall starting at ¥8.
By bike
Riding a bike can be a fast, fun and relatively safe way of travelling. Many roads have dedicated bike lanes but beware of everything from motorbikes to buses encroaching on your territory.
By foot
Walking around Taizhou can be a pleasant experience. As with all of China, right-of-way is effectively proportional to weight: vehicles trump motorbikes, motorbikes trump pedestrians.
