What are the famous tourist attractions in Shanxi Province?

Shanxi is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. 65438+ million years ago, human beings thrived in this land. The legendary "Pingyang in Du Yao", "Shundu Pian" and "Duyu Anyi" are all in the south of Shanxi, namely Linfen, Yongji and Xiaxian today. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Shanxi was one of the five tyrants. At the end of Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan and his son set out for Taiyuan. In the Qing dynasty, it began to be called Shanxi. In the feudal society of China, Shanxi played an important role, and because of its special geographical position, the more troubled times it was, the more important it was. Whoever owns Shanxi is the best in the world.

Shanxi is rich in tourism resources, and the ancient buildings on the ground before the Song Dynasty account for more than 70% of the national total, so it is known as the museum of ancient buildings. Qiu Yun, Hukou Waterfall, Wutai Mountain, Hengshan Mountain in Beiyue, Yungang Grottoes and other national famous tourist attractions have attracted tourists from both inside and outside the province. Traveling to Shanxi from south to north, there are ten scenic spots worth seeing:

A Qiuyun Mountain, Description: Qiu Yun is located at Hefenjiao at the southern end of Luliang Mountain, with a total area of 2 10 square kilometers. Located at the junction of Xiangning County in Linfen City and Jishan and Xinjiang in Yuncheng City, it belongs to the south of Shanxi Province.

There are one door, two doors, three doors, hanging stairs, cliff plank roads and rare ancient activity sites, as well as monuments to soldiers killed in the Anti-Japanese War and many beautiful legends circulated among the people. Among them, the "five wonders" are the most praised.

One of the wonders is the temple fair in Qiuyun Mountain, which is full of incense and lasts for thousands of years. Zhonghe culture has a long history and is profound. This traditional custom originated in Tang Dezong, which is hard to find in the whole country, but it has been preserved and passed down in the mountainous areas of Qiu Yun for thousands of years. Every year from February 14 to 16, nearly 200,000 people from Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Henan and other places spontaneously gather in Qiu Yun. People raise flags, beat drums, sing yangko and carry stairs to temples such as Wulong Palace and Babao Palace to meet the gods and pray for good weather and abundant crops. Young men and women hold whips, hold flower baskets, worship pagodas, face the door, touch dolls, eat jujube flowers, seek a happy marriage and have children.

Erqi Mountain is a treasure house of rare birds and animals, famous flowers and herbs. There are dozens of national first-and second-class rare species such as leopard, brown eared pheasant and dwarf peony. In particular, Elaeagnus mollis, a quaternary glacial relic plant at the same time as dinosaurs, has lived in Qiuyun for millions of years. Strong vitality, the knife can not be cut, lightning can not be struck. The investigation shows that Elaeagnus mollis is only widely distributed in Xiangning, China, and its nutritional value is extremely high.
