Discovering the Shenxianju Scenic Area among bridges, waterfalls and beautiful landscapes

In recent years there has been much talk about the inauguration of the incredible Ruyi Bridge, a DNA structure bridge that is absolutely absurd to look at, and which also offers a view that to call breathtaking does not give the idea away.

All in all, the area has more than 80 scenic sites including paths, waterfalls, bridges and even simple cliffs that give the idea of being in a place out of time and space.

China is a wonderful, vast country, full of history, culture and breathtaking sights. Such is the case with the scenic area of Shenxianju in Xianju, Taizhou, which is believed to be the home of celestial beings. In recent years there has been much talk about the inauguration of the incredible Ruyi Bridge, a DNA structure bridge that is absolutely absurd to look at, and which also offers a view that to call breathtaking does not give the idea away. All in all, the area has more than 80 scenic sites including paths, waterfalls, bridges and even simple cliffs that give the idea of being in a place out of time and space.

The Ruyi Bridge

One of the most famous attractions in the area is the Ruyi Bridge, a glass-bottomed structure spanning a canyon in the scenic area of Shenxianju, Xianju County, eastern Zhejiang Province.

A one-of-a-kind design

This bridge consists of undulating decks and part of the floor is even made of glass. The shape and name of the structure are inspired by a rubi, a kind of traditional ornamental sceptre in Chinese culture, and this object most often symbolises good luck and power.

200,000 visitors in 2020 alone

Figures speak of as many as 200,000 visitors between September and November 2020 alone, the first months after its inauguration. This construction was in fact designed by He Yunchang, an expert in steel structures who also participated in the design of China's main stadium for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

A beautiful view in fog and sunshine

People who have visited and crossed this bridge speak of incredible sensations. The weather conditions can vary greatly depending on the months of the year: with the sun, one enjoys a resoundingly beautiful view, similar to the one created by James Cameron in Avatar. With fog, the landscape takes on a truly mystical hue, making one really feel that one is in the Far East.

Much more in the Shenxianju Scenic Area

Of course, it is not just the bridge, but many other attractions and scenic spots fill this location. One only has to look at this photo to understand the life and beauty of this region. Pictured here is a breathtaking slacklining competition held at the Shenxianju scenic spot. More than 30 slacklining masters from around the world demonstrated their spins and bounces amidst the clouds. The 18-year-old Canadian contestant Antony won the title of champion.

Mountains, waterfalls and rivers surround the area

The area has a large number of naturally formed waterfalls and deep pools. The mountains in the area are quite unique in that they stand separate and steep-sided, as if torn apart by a giant axe. There are more than 80 scenic sites in the mountains, including Tadpole Rock, General Rock, Sleeping Beauty Mountain, Guanyin Mountain, South Bridge and many more.

CIna's most beautiful scenic spots

Practically every metre travelled there is a breathtaking viewpoint. Each area of the region is in itself a gigantic viewpoint, from which one can admire the immensity of the panorama. This photo shows one of the viewpoints on the aforementioned Ruyi Bridge.

When to visit the Shenxianju Scenic Area

The best time to visit the Shenxianju scenic area is June-August, as the flow of the falls is greater and visitors can have an unforgettable impression. On the other hand, it is also interesting to go there in winter, as the frozen waterfalls look like glittering jade hanging from the mountains.
