Nestled in the south of Wenzhou, Taishun sits below the endless mountains and enjoys the lovely birds' twitters and fragrance of flowers. The famous sceneries in Taishun include the Langqiao, Wuyanling National Nature Reserve, and Radon Spring. Langqiao literally means Lounge bridge. Currently, there are over 30 well-preserved timber arch lounge bridges passed down from the Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties in Taishun, including the Beijian Bridge, Xidong Bridge, and Younqing Bridge, whose large quantity, exquisite skill, stunning shape, and the outstanding match with the surrounding environment make it a breathtaking place in the bridge history of the world and a vivid representation of the rainbow-shaped bridges depicted in the famous "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival". 

Home to the famous Wuyanling National level Nature Reserve Area, Taishun showcases its abundant mountain view, breathtaking natural sceneries, resourceful traditions and customs. Housing 2150 kinds of plants and over 50 national endangered and protected species, the environment in Taishun is way above the national primary standard and wins the title of "natural oxygen bar".

Radon Spring is another speciality of Taishun. The spring water gurgles from 5,000 meters deep under the ground. Apart from a trace of radon, it also contains over 40 trace elements required by human body. Taking a bath in the Radon Spring water has remarkable therapeutic effect on high blood pressure and diabetes. It also has significant skin care and beautifying effect.
