Beautiful Taizhou

Taizhou is located in the middle coastal area of Zhejiang Province and named after the city's Tiantai Mountains. It is one of 27 major cities in the Yangtze River Delta and an important location on the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. Taizhou has a total land area of 10,050 square kilometers, a sea area of 80,000 square kilometers and a permanent population of 6.62 million. It has three districts (Jiaojiang, Huangyan and Luqiao), three county-level cities (Linhai, Wenling and Yuhuan), three counties (Tiantai, Xianju and Sanmen), and Taizhou Bay New Area.

Taizhou is renowned for being "a famous mountain on the sea." It's an ecologically blessed place with exceptional natural landscape, including mountains, sea and rivers. Surrounded by mountains, Taizhou has the Tiantai Mountains and the Shenxian Habitat as national 5A tourist attractions. Renowned as the "Gate to the East China Sea," it has Taizhou Bay, Sanmen Bay and Yueqing Bay and boasts a coastline of 651 kilometers, which accounts for 28 percent of the provincial coastline. A total of 691 islands lie in its waters, accounting for 21 percent of Zhejiang's total islands. All of these have offered unparalleled conditions for the development of Taizhou's bay area economy. The urban river network covers an area of over 46 square kilometers, giving people an impression of a riverside town.

Taizhou is a sacred place of Hehe Culture. With a long and rich history, Taizhou has distinctive cultural features: Traditional culture has been passed down for thousands of years, Hehe philosophy has embellished the past and present, mountains and seas have shaped the character of the Taizhou people, and the Dachen Island Reclamation has forged a spirit of hard struggle, progress and selfless dedication. The city is also famous for being the birthplace of the Tiantai Buddhism and the South Sect of Daoism. It has also witnessed the integration and common prosperity of Confucianism, Buddhism and Daoism. Han Shan and Shi De, known as the Two Immortals of Hehe, once lived in seclusion in the Guoqing Temple in the Tiantai Mountains, which became an important place closely related to Hehe Culture. The Dachen Island Reclamation Spirit is the city spirit of Taizhou. In Zhejiang, where the Red Boat Spirit of the Chinese Communists originated, the Dachen Island Reclamation Spirit is also of great and immortal significance.

Taizhou is also a well-known manufacturing city. The city benefits from a developed private sector and a solid manufacturing base. By July 2022, it had made the following achievements: 

● Having a total of 65 listed companies at home and abroad, and ranking fourth among China's prefecture-level cities in terms of the total number of domestic listed companies; 

● Having 21 ten-billion-level industrial clusters and 68 national-level industrial bases, and being committed to building an array of internationally influential and domestically competitive modern industrial clusters across such fields as automobile manufacturing, medical health, intelligent sewing equipment, high-end molds, pumps and electric machines, aerospace, and smart home technology; 

● Having 73,000 manufacturing enterprises, 4,692 enterprises above designated size, and 307 "hidden champion" products in the domestic and overseas markets. 

Taizhou's importance as an advanced manufacturing base within the Yangtze River Delta region is thus clear to see.

Blessed with majestic mountains, magnificent sea and limpid rivers, Taizhou is a place where people live in harmony. Since 2007, it has been granted as one of China's happiest cities for six times and was also awarded as a national model city in 2017.

臺(tái)州地處浙江省“南北中心點(diǎn)、海陸交界處”，因境內(nèi)天臺(tái)山而得名，是長(zhǎng)三角區(qū)域27個(gè)中心區(qū)城市之一，是21世紀(jì)海上絲綢之路的重要節(jié)點(diǎn)城市。臺(tái)州陸域面積10050平方千米，海域面積8萬(wàn)平方千米，常住人口662萬(wàn)，下轄椒江、黃巖、路橋三個(gè)區(qū)，臨海、溫嶺、玉環(huán)三個(gè)縣級(jí)市，天臺(tái)、仙居、三門三個(gè)縣以及臺(tái)州灣新區(qū)。
