The most impressive thing about Shanxi Province tourism is that all attractions are free for veterans and elderly people over 60 years old. Shanxi saved a thousand and a hundred yuan in ticket money from south to north and west to east, and other consumption was cheaper, and the cost of tourism was very high.
Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River is a very breathtaking natural wonder. The scenery is spectacular and spectacular. We are visiting Shanxi Province. When we arrive in the morning, the sun is smooth.

The ancient city is very clean. This is a good place to understand history and punch in and take pictures, strong push! I came here for the second time. I have the impression that the people here are particularly good and I want to come! But this time I came to meet a bad merchant. First of all, I found that this yam was bought by others for 15 yuan and two packs. I sold it for 100 yuan and eight packs. Even if it was expensive, I opened the bag and found that I only had 7 packs. I was angry when I thought about it. I went back to find them to refund the money. In the process of refunding the money, the boss still said viciously that I can't afford to consume it, so don't consume it. What I regret most about such a merchant is that I didn't call 110 and call the consumer hotline to complain. I don't know if the publication here is managed. I really regret that Pingyao Ancient City will not appear again. This unscrupulous merchant is broken. Bad ethos, I also hope everyone avoids the pit. The money was finally refunded to me, but I still feel angry.
This trip to the ancient city of Pingyao really made me harvest! Stepping into the ancient city is like a long river of history, and the heavy cultural heritage comes to my face. The architecture of the ancient city retains the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The city walls stand tall, and the mouths and observation decks on the city walls witness the vicissitudes of the years. Walking along the city walls can give a panoramic view of the ancient city. The streets and lanes in the city are crisscrossed, and the old shops on the street are full of people. Walking on the bluestone road, it seems that you can see the scene of Jin business dealings and lively. Pingyao's attractions are also unique. Rishengchang ticket number, as a symbol of the glory of Jin merchants, let me deeply feel the business wisdom and pioneering spirit of the ancestors; Guxian Yuli, through the form of Shengtang performance, vividly show the ancient official culture; There is also the end of the end, you can understand the rivers and lakes of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the The food here is also not to be missed, Pingyao beef meat is fresh and tender, fat but not greasy, fried bowl tastes smooth and rich, and the hot copper hot pot, each mouthful is full of Shanxi characteristics. Not only that, the local residents are hospitable and attentive, making me feel at home. Pingyao Ancient City is definitely a treasure place worth going again!

As a landmark attraction in Taiyuan, Jinci Temple has a profound historical and cultural heritage, and the overall experience is pretty good. The ancient buildings are well preserved, especially the core attractions such as the Notre Dame Hall and the Nanlao Spring are of great viewing value. The environment is quiet and the greening is good. However, the management of the scenic area needs to be strengthened. Some facilities are slightly old, the signboards are not clear enough, and it is slightly crowded when there are many tourists. The ticket price is moderate, suitable for tourists interested in history, but the entertainment is weak, and may not be suitable for young people who pursue interactive experience. If you have enough time, you can visit it together with the surrounding attractions. Generally speaking, it is a traditional cultural scenic spot that is "worth a visit, but don't expect too much."
I traveled to Shanxi in June, and my first stop was Taiyuan. After arriving, my first stop was Jin Temple. To enter Jin Temple, you have to go through Jin Temple Park, which is very physically demanding.
When I entered Jin Temple, I immediately felt that it was very spiritual, and the buildings were very old. There were also many plants that were thousands of years old. It made people feel the weight of history.
This must be a must-visit place in Taiyuan. If you want to see the cultural relics on the ground in Shanxi, this place is the first.

If you come to the Hanging Temple and don't climb it, it's like a wasted trip! I bought the ticket for climbing a few days in advance and arrived at around 3 pm. There was no need to queue up to climb. I experienced the danger and beauty of the Hanging Temple smoothly.
The Hanging Temple is indeed a magical place, but the 280-yuan explanation in the scenic area is not worth it. It is relatively high compared to other scenic spots, and the scenic area is a one-way walking mode. It is impossible to stop and explain

Before you come, watch the documentary "A Millennium Tower to see Buddha Light", you can understand the internal structure of the wooden tower, and then watch the documentary "Liang Sicheng Lin Huiyin", you can know the behind-the-scenes story of Liang Sicheng mapping the wooden tower. The cultural creation is very beautiful, and the first wooden tower pattern folder is pushed.
It is worthy of being one of the four largest chitas in the world, and it is famous for the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Italy, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Egypt! The world's tallest wooden structure pavilion tower, the whole body is connected by bucket arch, connected by the architectural form, is actually the treasure of China's Liao Dynasty architecture, will be fortunate to come again in the future!

After placing the order, there is a tour guide to contact the door, pick up and drop off, very convenient, no hidden consumption, everything is open and transparent, on the way, will pass by Nanniwan and Beijing knowing points, will park for everyone to take pictures. Hukou Waterfall Shaanxi side is very spectacular. When I go there, it is not when the water volume is large, but there is already a feeling of shocking the waves. Next time I have the opportunity to go to the Shanxi side to take a look, it is recommended to go.

Qiao's compound is located in Jixian County, Shanxi Province. It is the house of the Qiao family of Jinshang. It was built in 1756 and is known as the "Pearl of Northern Residences". This magnificent castle-style complex witnessed the glorious history of Jinshang and is also the location of Zhang Yimou's film "Dahong Lanterns Gaohang".
The attractions I was thinking of finally came. I booked an explanation at the door. The explanation of the young lady was particularly in place, so that we could understand the historical and cultural background and development trajectory of Qiao's compound. It feels worthwhile. 👍👍👍

Although the core attractions of Xiaoxitian are not big, it is worth visiting. The hanging sculptures in the main hall are very impressive. There are about 1,900 hanging Buddha statues in the hall. The main statue is 3 meters high, and the smallest is only the size of a thumb.
The historical value and artistic attainments of Xiaoxitian are shocking, and it is worth seeing. You must be there in person. The only difficult part is that it is not easy to climb up to see the Buddha. If you are not in good shape, it is basically impossible to reach it.

The terrain is steep and majestic, but the road condition is not very friendly to the elderly. The uphill is a bit steep. It is not suitable for the elderly to visit. To be honest, the price of 90 yuan tickets is a bit low. The visitor center must take the shuttle bus to the entrance of the scenic spot for 10 yuan. Even if you drive by yourself, you can't drive to the door. There are a lot of empty parking spaces at the door.
As a national 5A-level scenery, the scenery here is different, known as the first pass in China. The scenic spot has two entrances from the north to the south. It is recommended to enter from the north gate. It is a ten-minute walk to enter the park here, and you will see the attractions. When I walked to the Zhuangshi Pavilion, I met tourists from the south gate, and he advised me not to go down. The road was not easy to walk there, and there was no good scenery along the way. I entered from the north gate and walked to Zhuangshiting to return. From the service center, I took the scenic spot car for 20 yuan (20 yuan is the price of the round-trip ticket, 2 kilometers one way, 2 minutes), and the whole scenic spot stayed for 3 hours.

When traveling to Shanxi, Wang Family Courtyard is definitely a stop you can't miss! Stepping into this place, it's like traveling back to the heyday of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The huge building complex is built on the mountain and is staggered. The layout of the "Wang" shape hides the universe and shows the majestic atmosphere.
Walking through it, brick carvings, wood carvings, and stone carvings are everywhere. Each one is meticulously crafted and lifelike. Flowers, birds, fish, insects, and historical allusions are portrayed vividly, making people admire the exquisite craftsmanship of the ancients. Moreover, every brick and tile here carries the story of the rise and fall of the Wang family for hundreds of years. The family rules, family precepts, and humanistic feelings are fully displayed in it, which can make you deeply feel the profound Shanxi merchant culture. Families, come to Wang Family Courtyard and feel the fusion of history and art. It's really worth it!
Opening the door of time, on the Loess Plateau of Lingshi, Shanxi, a magnificent group of houses lies dormant like a giant dragon between the vast world. This is the Wang Family Courtyard, a place where family epics are engraved with bricks and stones, and carved beams tell the vicissitudes of time. It is not only a witness to the glory of Shanxi merchants, but also a culmination of traditional Chinese architectural art, allowing everyone who steps into it to touch the temperature of time and the weight of civilization.
This courtyard, known as the "Folk Forbidden City", was built by the Jingsheng Wang family over hundreds of years. From the rammed earth courtyard in the late Ming Dynasty to the carved beams and painted buildings in the Qing Dynasty, every blue brick is soaked in the wisdom of merchants and the hard work of craftsmen. Five castle-style buildings are built on the mountain. Among the scattered courtyards, more than 80 courtyards and 1,238 houses are stacked, as if carving the entire hillside into a three-dimensional art scroll. Walking through the courtyard, you can hear the camel bells ringing in your ears and see the caravans trekking on the Silk Road. This was once the home of the giant Shanxi merchants who controlled the tea, salt and iron business. Wealth and glory were deposited here as eternity between bricks and tiles.
The architectural beauty of Wangjiayuan lies in its perfect fusion of practicality and art. Between the high walls and deep alleys, the defensive and residential functions are integrated: the towering fortress walls can resist foreign enemies, and the exquisite drainage system turns rainwater into a tinkling spring in the courtyard; every window lattice is a poem in the hands of the craftsman, and the ice cracks and plum blossom patterns flow in the light and shadow, which not only ventilates and lights, but also implies the auspicious meaning of "lotus grows step by step". Walking into the "Three Sculpture Art Museum", the wooden peony has bloomed on the beams for a hundred years, the stone lion is still majestically guarding, and the brick-carved grape vines are winding, as if they will bear purple jade-like fruits in the next second. These solidified carvings are the craftsmen's tribute to life, and are also the most vivid footnotes to the spirit of the Wang family "starting from business and passing on poetry and books".
Walking between "Hongmenbao" and "Gaojiaya", the breath of history flows between the lintels and plaques. The couplet "loyalty and honesty are passed down for a long time, poetry and books are passed down for generations" reveals the secret code of the Wang family that has lasted for hundreds of years: honesty is the foundation of business, and poetry and books are the root of life. Here, the copper coins of merchants and the ink fragrance of literati are wonderfully blended - the account office and the academy are built next to each other, and the business and Confucianism are in dialogue under the eaves. The imperial examination reports and literati's handwritten notes collected in the courtyard, together with the abacus and account books, tell the legend of this family "both Confucian and business". When the sunset gilds the plaque of "Dunhou House", it seems that you can see the owner in Confucian clothes, looking for a balance in life between copper coins and poetry scrolls.
Today, Wang's Courtyard has shed the hustle and bustle of merchants' residences and has become a breathing museum. In spring, lilacs bloom in the courtyard, in summer, trumpet creepers climb on the walls, in autumn, ginkgo trees dye the green bricks golden, and in winter, snow outlines the silver edges of the eaves. The footsteps of tourists have replaced the noise of the past, but those bricks and stones, which have been polished by time, are still silently telling stories about tenacity, wisdom and inheritance. Standing in the "Guanzhi Pavilion" and overlooking the whole courtyard, the layers of eaves rise and fall like waves, the green mountains in the distance are like dark green, and the ancient trees are towering nearby - this solidified epic is engraving the legend of Shanxi merchants, the spirit of craftsmen, and the family's beliefs forever in the depths of the Loess Plateau in its own unique way.
