The round-trip sightseeing bus, entering and exiting from the north, costs 10 yuan. You'll need to get on the bus to reach the scenic area ticket office (though it's not necessary. I saw that the bus can be driven to the scenic area ticket office). If you're physically fit, you can hike the 2 kilometers, though the uphill slope is a bit tiring). The scenic area is famous, but there's not much to see. The mountain is foggy. The weather is unpredictable, and you can't predict which cloud will bring rain. Wear sneakers with non-slip soles if you're entering and exiting from the north. It takes about 2 hours. If you're walking the entire route, both north and south, it depends on your physical fitness.
I arrived at the Yanmen Pass that I had longed for. It has a long history and is magnificent. I felt the long history of Chinese culture. I climbed the Great Wall, walked from the North Gate to the South Gate, and then walked from the South Gate to the North Gate. The experience was simply too great.

Taiyuan Botanical Garden: "It's absolutely stunning! Especially in the evening, when the three domed greenhouses light up, they look like giant pearls scattered along the lakeside, their reflections reflected in the water. It's so dreamy and futuristic. It's definitely a new landmark in Taiyuan, and any photo you take is a blockbuster."
"The building itself is a work of art, and its international awards are well-deserved. The flowing lines during the day and the dazzling lights at night are truly worth the experience." It's amazing, hahahaha
The Taiyuan Botanical Garden boasts a high-end, avant-garde design and is definitely worth a visit! Especially if you go at 4:30 PM to see the 5 PM acrobatic show, then see the three balls and fireflies, and finally take the elevator—it's a perfect arrangement! Perfect for families!

To see a thousand miles, one must ascend to a higher level.
The Stork Tower is a remarkable ancient structure. Modern renovations have kept it vibrant. Climb it and marvel at the majestic Yellow River.
I've been there twice, and the experience of climbing the Stork Tower is truly remarkable: each level requires gradual progress; it's impossible to achieve everything overnight. This reminds us that in pursuing our life goals, we must follow the principle of gradual progress. No great achievement is achieved overnight; it's the result of long-term accumulation and unremitting effort. We must be down-to-earth, starting with the little things, and constantly accumulating experience and knowledge to lay a solid foundation for achieving our life goals.

Huangcheng Xiangfu, a 5A-level scenic spot in Jincheng, Shanxi, boasts a rich cultural heritage and distinctive architecture. It was the residence of Chen Tingjing, and Emperor Kangxi stayed there twice. The ancient buildings are hailed as "the home of northern China's foremost cultural powerhouse." The scenic area offers wonderful performances, such as "Welcoming the Emperor" and "The Eight Sounds of the Prosperous Era," and also offers special travel photography services. However, there are some issues, such as high ticket prices, overcharging within the scenic area, and unclear guide signs. Overall, it's suitable for visitors interested in history and culture, but the scenic area's management and services need improvement.
The Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion, the former residence of Chen Tingjing, the imperial tutor and worthy minister of the Qing Dynasty, is a grand manor with distinctive Shanxi residential characteristics. The entire scenic area boasts meticulously arranged courtyards and a simple and elegant style, particularly the corridors, terraces, and pavilions, which embody the uniquely charming Shanxi cave-dwelling architectural style.

The ticket price is not cheap, but it is quite interesting. There are tours down and up the well, and the explanation fee is purchased separately. The staff is very good. Because I needed to go down the well in advance because I was in a hurry, the staff helped to arrange it, which was very heartwarming.
The exhibition hall on the third floor is relatively simple, with a popular science nature and is quite standard. The underground simulated coal mine is simply amazing. It feels very realistic, dark and narrow, and there are simulated mining equipment. It is a very novel experience. You can even wear a miner's hat with a light!

I went to Kangbashi Museum some time ago, and it was really amazing! As soon as I walked to the front of the museum, I was attracted by the unique architectural shape, which looked like a rock that had been polished by time and had a special sense of history. After entering, the various exhibits were dazzling. There were ancient bronzes, exquisite ceramics, and precious calligraphy and paintings. Listening to the story behind these exhibits introduced by the guide, it was as if I traveled through time and space, and personally experienced the long history and splendid culture of Ordos. I felt very rewarding. I sincerely recommend everyone to go and have a look!
The exhibition design is very attentive, divided according to the natural development context, the visiting route is clear, the transition is natural, and it is not tiring to visit. The lighting and sound effects are also amazing. In the simulated tropical rainforest exhibition area, the lighting is combined with the sound of birds and wind, as if you are in the depths of the rainforest.

Mysterious Tunnels: Zhangbi Ancient Fort's tunnel system is like a maze, stretching for a thousand meters and boasting a complex structure, creating a sense of being immersed in a masterpiece of ancient military defense.
Cultural Heritage: Its rich historical background allows one to journey through time and experience the charm of ancient civilization.
Long-standing History: Built during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, it boasts a history of over 1,600 years and is one of the most well-preserved miniature ancient castles in China, bearing witness to the vicissitudes of time.
We traveled here from Shenyang with my parents and kids. We visited Zhenguo Temple, Shuanglin Temple, and finally the ancient castle. It was better than expected, with both the castle above ground and the underground tunnels worth seeing. Buying tickets on Ctrip was very convenient, allowing you to use them on the go.

There were a lot of people today, but it didn't affect the experience. The queues for each project basically took half an hour. I've been here several times, and my children always want to come again.
There were so many people at Fantawild on May Day that you had to wait in line for about 120 minutes for any popular project, but the fireworks at night were so beautiful, and I also saw Phoenix 🐦🔥. In short, it is still the first choice for holiday travel! There are many people but the atmosphere is particularly good!

The ticket I bought online at Ctrip was the same as the one I bought on site, 85 yuan for a round trip. When I went to Haisha Peninsula, the boarding terminal was a bit chaotic. Tourists rushed to the boarding gate wherever the boat arrived, so that the tourists in the front of the line could not get on the boat, while the tourists in the back of the line got on the boat early. I hope the scenic area pier can manage it to prevent the elderly and children from being squeezed and in danger.
It is rare to find such a scenic spot in China that includes deserts, grasslands, and lakes. Hongjiannao is located in Yulin, northern Shaanxi. The parking lot is a bit small and there is no one to direct the flow of cars. At noon, the parking lot was full of cars. Later, the cars did not know and were all circling around in it. Hongjiannao has beautiful scenery and many water activities. It is worth a visit.

Tickets are 10 yuan for adults and 5 yuan for children. It's a great weekend getaway for the kids. This was my first time there after the expansion. Parking is convenient in Parking Lot 1. Enter through the north gate and you can take a sightseeing bus or walk. Taiyuan's autumn weather is mild and pleasant, perfect for a trip to the zoo.
Located in Wanbailin District, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, Taiyuan Botanical Garden is a large, comprehensive botanical garden integrating botanical research, ornamental education, and leisure activities. The garden boasts a rich botanical resource, including a variety of rare and valuable medicinal and ornamental plants, as well as unique local vegetation.
