I have been to Shanxi several times, and the natural scenery and cultural heritage attractions in the territory are very rich! It's worth a visit!

I recommend six of the most classic!

1. Hukou Waterfall

What scenic spots are there in Shanxi? Hukou Waterfall, as we all know, is a rare yellow waterfall with different scenery all year round. Generally, the best travel time period is divided into April-May and 9- 165438+ 10 month every year. From April to May, peach blossoms are in full bloom near the waterfall, and the spring is full. The rainy season in September is just-165438+ 10.

2. Pingyao Ancient City

The mild and dry Pingyao ancient city has a history of more than 2700 years. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the business here was developed, and the "Shanxi merchants" originated here. The people live and work in peace and contentment, live a rich life and build many beautiful buildings. Time flies, the ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties here are well preserved, and the local customs are also passed down. Pingyao County Ya, the first escort agency in North China and Shuanglin Temple, these places must be visited in person to experience the magical journey through the dynasties!

3. Yungang grottoes

The Buddha statues in Yungang Grottoes are not admired by the world in isolation. It's like a Buddhist country. The project is huge, with more than 50,000 statues, some of which have weathered beyond recognition, while others are still brightly colored after thousands of years. After the Northern Wei Dynasty, they witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties. Visitors who come here are all amazed and impressed. No one can see the vicissitudes of the world better than these giant buddhas.

4. Wutai Mountain

Wutai Mountain, located in Wutai County, Xinzhou City, is a famous summer resort, surrounded by five peaks, with flat top and beautiful scenery. In addition, it is also the Dojo of Manjusri Bodhisattva, with many temples, ranking first among the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. As it is the only Dojo in China that retains the Qing Palace of the Yellow Emperor Temple, you can see not only the monks of the Han Dynasty, but also the lamas of Tibet in Wutai Mountain.

5. Imperial City Xiangfu

Shanxi Imperial City is the former residence of Chen Yanjing, the teacher of Emperor Kangxi and the chief reader of Kangxi Dictionary. It is an ancient city that combines the styles of two dynasties, and it is the only one in China with great momentum. Walking into the Forbidden City, many people are curious whether they will get lost if they walk in such a big home. It really deserves to be a mansion of a generation of countries!

6. Qiao Family Courtyard

Located in Qiaojiabao Village, Qixian County, the Qiao Family Courtyard, formerly known as the "Middle Temple", was the residence of Qiao Zhiyong, a famous commercial and financial capitalist in Qing Dynasty. There is a tall and magnificent building here. Seen from high altitude, the whole compound is in a double "hi" shape, which is unique. There is even a saying that "the royal family looks at the Forbidden City and the residential houses look at the Qiao family". On the brick wall opposite the gate, there is also a picture of "Life is Hundred" composed of 100 different styles of "longevity", which is a rare work of art.
