Jinci

Jinci Temple, located 25 kilometers southwest of Taiyuan, is one of the national key cultural relics protection units. Founded in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was once the ancestral hall of Yuji, the second son of West Zhou Wuwang and the founding monarch of Jin State.

Jinci Temple includes dozens of classical garden-style buildings with elegant and comfortable environment and beautiful scenery. The landscape layout can be divided into three parts: the middle part, entering the gate of Jinci, starting from the water mirror platform, passing through Huixian Bridge, Jinrentai, Yue Yue Square, Bell and Drum Tower, Fairy Hall, Fish Pond Flying Beam and Notre Dame Cathedral, is the main body of Jinci; In the north, starting from Wenchang Palace, this group of buildings has ups and downs and high artistic value through Dongyue Temple, Guandi Temple, Sanqing Cave, Tang Shuyu Temple, Chaoyang Cave, Daifengxuan, Santai Pavilion, Reading Desk and Lvzu Pavilion.

Changshi manor

If the Qiao Family Courtyard made the quadrangle culture in Shanxi known to Chinese people for the first time, then Changjia Manor brought the quadrangle culture to an unprecedented height.

Changjia Manor, located in Yuci District, Jinzhong City, southeast of Taiyuan City, is a private manor of Changshi family, a Shanxi businessman in Qing Dynasty. The tall castle gate is named Guo Yuanshi from west to east. There is a high wall and deep courtyard river outside the gate, and a white stone arch bridge stands at the gate. Opposite Baomen is an east-west stone street, and all the restored houses are lined up in the north of the street. Corresponding to the house, there are more than 100 acres of north-south style gardens-"Jingyuan". There are pavilions, apricot gardens and mulberry gardens in the garden. The lake freezes in winter, and apricot trees are fragrant in spring.

During the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, the Chang family moved from Huian in Taigu to Chelan in Yuci. After several generations' efforts, it reached its peak for 150 years after Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Guangxu, Xuan Tong and other dynasties. /kloc-In the mid-8th century, it was often found that the demand for tea in Russia and Mongolia was increasing day by day, so a "Wanli Tea Road" was opened, which started from Wuyi Mountain in Fujian, traveled to Vandory by land, water and camel, and reached Moscow as far as possible.

As a family of Confucian businessmen who insist on "learning to be an excellent official", the Chang family attaches great importance to their children's academic education. There are not only literati and scholars at home, but also famous painters and painters. In addition to the profound Confucian cultural connotation, the artistic content here is also high. Doors, window decorations, colored paintings, plaques, couplets, brick carvings, wood carvings and inscriptions on French stickers distributed in various courtyards can all be regarded as cultural products of Shanxi merchants.

Transportation: It takes 1 hour to drive from Taiyuan to the southeast to Yuci, and there are signboards on the expressway.

Admission: 60 yuan.

Tianlongshan

On the mountainside of Tianlong Mountain, 40 kilometers southwest of Taiyuan City, there are 24 caves dug in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, including works of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. Do you want to fight for milk? Huh? Thick and short? Strangled? What about mechanical wood? Punishment? Four? Rainbow Bay Rao Ribbon? Scar? Earth? Tuochang? Catch the customs? Yuki Shin night? Glutinous? そ Dust? Kangmu carbon home?

As Tianlong Mountain and Jinci Temple are located in the southwest of Taiyuan, and there is a newly-built expressway connecting them, you can take these two places as a tourist route.

Transportation: After visiting Jinci Temple, take a bus at the gate, and you can reach Tianlong Mountain in about 20 minutes (note: the price should be negotiated before getting on the bus).

Admission: 20 yuan.

wujin mountain

There is a Wujin Mountain in the eastern suburb of Taiyuan 10 km, and it is adjacent to Hanshan Mountain in the north. Now it is a national forest park, but there are ten national forest parks among Taiyuan citizens, but nine out of ten Taiyuan citizens don't know that there is such a good place next to Taiyuan.

Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi, the distribution center of tourism and the epitome of modern Shanxi. This area is located in Shanxi Plateau, north to the northern end of Taiyuan Basin, east to the west of Taihang Mountain, west to the bank of Yellow River and south to Linfen area. Taiyuan, Jinzhong, Lvliang and Yangquan are humanistic landscape tourist areas with many tourist spots in Fenhe River Basin as the main body.

The distribution of tourist spots is centered on Taiyuan and spreads around along railways and highways. Among them, the two banks of Fenhe River and the surrounding mountains extending southwest along the south Tongpu line form the scenic spots with the highest tourism value.

The elite tourist attractions here are:

Jinci classical garden, its architecture and statues in Song Dynasty are particularly precious;

I suggest you go to play in and around Taiyuan. In fact, there are too many places worth visiting in Taiyuan. Visitors to Taiyuan must go to Jinci Temple. Even if it takes less than 30 minutes by car from Taiyuan Railway Station, the ticket is 40 yuan, which may rise to 60 in the future. There are buildings in the Tang Dynasty, ancient cypresses with thousands of years, practice caves in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Chinese medicine with seven swords in Tianshan Mountain, Nan Laoquan inscribed by Ouyang Xiu, and the Wang Loyalty Temple with the most complete genealogy and overseas branches in the world. All Wang Xingren will kowtow and worship here. Jinci is applying for world cultural heritage, and this year's Olympic torch in Taiyuan was also passed from here. Not far from here is Jinyang Ancient City, where Li Shimin established the Datang. A few kilometers away, there is the largest Taoist grottoes in China: Tianlong Mountain Grottoes. Taiyuan can reach the birthplace of Shanxi merchants' culture such as Pingyao Ancient City, Wang Family Courtyard and Qiao Family Courtyard, which are world cultural heritages, three and a half hours to Wutai Mountain, a Buddhist holy place, and five hours to Yungang Grottoes, Hukou Waterfall, Yingxian Wooden Pagoda and Beiyue Hengshan. In short, there are too many places worth visiting in Taiyuan!

Specialty products include Fenjiu, millet, jujube, vinegar and so on. Among them, the millet in Qinzhou can't be bought elsewhere, so we must buy some back, which is available in the supermarket. A small bag of 500 grams costs seven or eight yuan, which is more expensive in a specialty store. Jujube must buy Jiaocheng Junzao. About 500 grams a box of 40 to 50 yuan is more expensive, but the best. If you want to buy mature vinegar, go to Ninghua House, which is in the alley opposite Causeway Bay Commercial Plaza in the city center. This is a time-honored brand with a history of 100 years.
