Located in the western part of Taizhou, Zhejiang province, Xianju county is known for its mouthwatering yangmei — waxberry — and its breathtaking natural scenery.

One of the most popular attractions in Xianju and across Zhejiang — is shenxianju, which literally means "dwellings for immortals" or "residences for celestial beings".

The name itself might have already given visitors some idea as to what to expect even before they arrive: majestic mountains shrouded in misty clouds.

A national 5A-level tourist spot, the Shenxianju Scenic Area is the core of Xianju National Park.
