Qianduo Scenic Area

A huge area of rapeflower (canola) fields north of town, accessed primarily by canals. Trails and two lookout towers have been added for tourists, and boats take visitors on several standard routes. The rapeflowers bloom from late March through April, and a flower festival is held at this time, with the dates varying based on weather conditions. During the festival, a shuttle bus is available from the major bus terminals in Taizhou and Xinghua, including the bus terminal adjacent to Taizhou's high-speed rail station. The ¥99 return shuttle ticket includes the ¥99 admission to the scenic area and a boat ride. As of spring 2018 the area is relatively developed as a tourist attraction, with more trails and boat routes under construction (along with a shopping plaza at the entrance), but there is basically zero English information on it available anywhere, in any form, and foreigners do not seem to be a common sight. A basic grasp of the language can be extremely useful for buying shuttle bus tickets or finding the bus at the end of the day.
