Bu’dai Mountain Scenic Area is primarily composed of three major scenic spots: the Maitreya Valley, the Ancient Village, and the Bu’dai Stream Drifting, also known as the ‘one leading three’ scenic area.
Maitreya Valley: Each with its unique charm. Within the 1500-meter-long Maitreya Valley, there are nearly a hundred waterfalls of various sizes. There are grand waterfalls cascading down, the four-tiered ‘Four Bend Waterfall’, and the intertwined ‘Double Dragon Waterfall’. The scenic area is strewn with peculiar rocks and peculiar mountain shapes: massive rocks resembling a lion guarding the valley; huge stones shaped like an old monk listening to the spring; a mountain resembling Maitreya welcoming guests; and the ‘Dragon’s Gate’ formed by two facing rocks… With mountains and rocks, pools and waterfalls, bamboo and forests, pavilions and arbors, corridors and bridges… it is rich in the characteristics of Chinese Jiangnan landscape gardens. Ancient Village: The Bu’dai Ancient Village is an authentic ancient village where a considerable number of Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings are preserved. Clear springs, ancient bridges, wooden houses, stone walls, lush trees, and bamboo forests form beautiful and harmonious scenes of people living in harmony with nature. The winding mountain paths, moss-covered stone steps, mottled stone walls, and clear and gentle streams have become excellent material for painters and photographers. In 2010, Bu’dai Keng Village was named a photography base and an artist’s sketching base in Taizhou City; in 2011, it was named a cultural creation base in Taizhou City. The scenic area also offers visitors the option to enjoy agritourism, stay in farmhouses, do farm work, and eat farmhouse dishes.

Bu’dai Stream Drifting: Bu’dai Stream Drifting is a kayaking activity for two people per boat. It allows for the thrilling enjoyment brought by water. During the drifting, there are moments of cascading down, plunging into deep pools like a flood, and encountering breathtaking rapids and shoals, all integrating the thrill into one; one can also row on the surface of the pool, enjoying the clear water and blue sky.
