Shanxi hides the most thrilling ancient architecture in China, which is breathtakingly beautiful

The Gao Temple in the Renzu Mountain Scenic Area of Linfen, Shanxi, has a staircase to the top that resembles a miniature Great Wall, with a total of 185 steps. Interestingly, different people will count different results. Renzu Mountain is the highest peak at the southern end of the Luliang Mountain Range, located to the east of the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River. On top of this vertical peak of more than 200 meters, there is a small temple, which is incredible. To climb it, you need to climb step by step, level by level. Walking on it doesn't feel like anything, but when you look at it from a different angle, it's suddenly thrilling. It is known as one of the most thrilling ancient buildings in China, so beautiful that it makes people's legs weak. Travel Tips Take the high-speed train to Linfen West Station, and you can go to the Renzu Mountain Scenic Area in Jixian County, which is a two-hour journey. Self-driving can navigate to the high-speed entrance of Renzu Mountain Scenic Area, and the tourist service center is right off the car. After arriving at the scenic area, go to Worry-free Villa, you can make an appointment with a guide to lead a hike and feel the coolness of the original forest. The temperature on the mountain is at least five degrees lower than that in the city, which is very cool. It is recommended to wear suitable clothes and shoes for mountain climbing.
