Shanxi's culture is very atmospheric. The Yellow River culture in southern Shanxi, the Shanxi merchants culture in central Shanxi and the Buddhist culture in northern Shanxi are all worthy of yearning.

1. Taiyuan part-three generations of Beijing, five generations of capital, the beginning of the nine emperors, countless heroes. Recommended attractions Taiyuan Jinci, near Ningwu.

Shanxi, which is rich in coal resources, has made great sacrifices for the development and construction of China energy base. The good scenery in history has become turbid for a long time, and people's clothes have been correspondingly gloomy for a long time. However, the local government has done a lot of work to create an ecological Taiyuan city, and the newly-built Fenhe Park has won the "Model Award for Improving the Living Environment of Human Beings" issued by the United Nations Environment Programme. The face of Taiyuan is becoming more and more beautiful. When it comes to Shanxi, we can't help but say old vinegar. Go to the hotel in Shanxi, not tea, but vinegar. No matter what you eat, be less jealous. Walking on the streets of Shanxi, you can always smell a strong vinegar smell. Compared with Taiyuan, a small city, Yingze Street is a bit like Chang 'an Street in Beijing. Railway stations, bus stations, commercial centers and star-rated hotels, all the main facilities in these cities are concentrated on this street that is not too wide or too long.

Jinci ★★★★★★★

The ancestral temple built by later generations to commemorate the founding monarch of Jin State and the second son of West Zhou Wuwang, was founded in the Northern Wei Dynasty and rebuilt and expanded in successive dynasties, forming today's scale. Notre Dame Hall, the most famous hall in Jinci. Panlong woodcarving on the wooden pillars in front of the temple is the product of the Song Dynasty and the earliest existing woodcarving art in China. There are also 43 realistic painted maid statues in the temple, which are the most striking part of the three wonders of Jinci Temple (the other two are difficult for Lao Quan and Bai Zhou). The "fish pond flying beam" built in the Song Dynasty in front of the temple is an isolated example of the existing ancient bridge in China.

Hint: The way to visit Jinci Temple can be divided into three parts: middle, north and south. From the gate of Jinci to the hall of Notre Dame, it is the main body of Jinci. The buildings from Wenchang Palace to Lvzuge in the north are ups and downs, with high artistic value, and from the Baby House to Gongbo Temple in the south, it has the charm of Jiangnan gardens.

Ningwu ★★★★★★★★

A little-known place, located in the mountainous area of northern Shanxi, is a collection of forests, grasslands, Tianchi, deserts, glaciers, Buddha caves, hanging coffins, hanging temples and ancient cities with thousands of years. Almost all kinds of beautiful scenery are concentrated here.

2. If you want to visit Ningwu for more than one day, you can choose Dongzhai Town, 30 kilometers away from the county seat, which is also the center of several tourist routes. There are many restaurants in ningwu county City and Dongzhai Town, so don't worry about food.

2. Datong part-a world-famous historical and cultural name. The recommended scenic spots are Yungang Grottoes, Yingxian Wooden Pagoda and Hengshan Hanging Temple.

Datong in history is a nine-sided town with huge and magnificent city walls, including the inner city and North Los Angeles. Several garrisons outside the city, the Great Wall inside and outside, and dotted beacon towers form a tight defense line, which makes this big city impregnable. Times have changed, and now there are only intermittent earth walls, which is hard to imagine the boldness of vision of that year. Only a small Wild Goose Pagoda still stands in the southeast of the city, vaguely telling the past history of this modern city.

Strolling through Datong, you can see many traditional quadrangles in Shanxi in narrow alleys, which are similar to ordinary residents in Pingyao, but most of them have become ruins. I think, in the near future, these traditional "dangerous houses" will be transformed.

Reference route: Datong-Hangkong Temple-Hengshan Mountain-Yingxian Wooden Pagoda-Datong-Yungang Grottoes-Datong City (Yuantong Temple, Xiahuayan Temple, Jiulongbi)

Yungang Grottoes ★★★★★★★★

One of the four largest grottoes in China was founded in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Starting from Datong, first visit Hunyuan Hengshan Hanging Temple, then visit Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, and return to Datong from Yingxian.

Mount Hengshan and Hanging Temple ★★★★★★★

Hengshan Mountain in Beiyue is one of the five mountains in China, with its main peak as high as 20 17 meters above sea level, making it the highest among the five mountains.

There are 3797 traditional quadrangles in Pingyao, most of which are still inhabited. The intact old city walls and people living in houses make this place still a living ancient city.

Pingyao has the earliest financial institution in China-Qianzhuang. At that time, eight banks in Pingyao, headed by Increasingly Chang, set up semicolons in 45 cities across the country, and even had exchange business with San Francisco and new york in the United States. It is these financial giants that have created Pingyao today, and those exquisite big houses are still the main force of Pingyao's economic development.
