An underrated 5A scenic spot is here, and you definitely won't regret it!

Mian Mountain originated in the Spring and Autumn period when Jie Zitui of the state of Jin carried his mother into hiding and was burned on the mountain, hence Mian Mountain is also known as Jie Mountain. Mian Mountain combines mountain scenery, water colors, cultural relics, Buddhist temples, and revolutionary sites all in one. It is also the birthplace of China's Qingming Festival (Cold Food Festival), home to the China Cold Food Qingming Culture Research Center, and the China Cold Food Qingming Culture Museum. 📍Detailed address: Yijiazhuang Village, Jiexiu City, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province 🎫Ticket strategy: Peak season 110💰 per person, scenic area shuttle 50 per person Off-season 80💰 per person, scenic area shuttle 50 per person, half price for students, free for the elderly, children, military personnel, and disabled persons 🚗Transportation strategy: 🚞Take the train to Jiexiu West Station, take bus 302 to the 'Mian Mountain Station' stop, walk 332 meters and you're there. Only the West Station has a direct bus, it's recommended to take a taxi from other stations, or you can take the 'Mian Mountain Scenic Area Express Bus' to reach the scenic area, which takes about 30 minutes. 🚗Self-driving: There are many scenic spots in Shanxi, and it's more convenient to drive yourself, you can directly navigate to 'Mian Mountain Scenic Area' Opening hours: 08:00-19:00 (entry stops at 6:30 pm) 🌟Must-visit spots: 1⃣️Longtou Temple This is an important place to watch the sea of clouds in the morning and the sunset in the evening 2⃣️Daluogong Each level is different, you can climb to the top for a bird's-eye view, and the scenery should be even better when the weather is good. 3⃣️Shuitaogou Known as the 'Jiuzhaigou of the North', the slope is not steep. The whole journey is relatively flat, and the endpoint's Shuilian Cave is super cool 4⃣️Qixian Valley The legendary internet-famous bridge is here, don't miss it if you like outdoor adventures! It's a bit difficult to walk and tests your courage, it's not recommended to take this route with children. 5⃣️Yunfeng Temple The largest Buddhist site in Mian Mountain, with a zigzagging suspension ladder built on a vertical cliff, it's really shocking, highly recommended for everyone to visit! 6⃣️Zhengguo Temple Has more than a dozen flesh-and-blood Bodhisattvas, called a 'world miracle' by experts, not seen elsewhere 7⃣️Jie Gongci China's largest stone cave temple, also the hiding place of Jie Zitui, with the site of his cremation and worship 📝Note tips: 1⃣️Bring some cash, as some spots have no signal and it will be inconvenient to buy things 2⃣️Wear a pair of comfortable non-slip shoes, as there will be a lot of walking 3⃣️After finishing the first stop, you can directly take the scenic area bus to the last stop, then play in reverse order 4⃣️Mian Mountain is large, it is recommended to play for two days, but the ticket can only be used once, you can choose to stay in a hotel inside the scenic area, it's a bit expensive... it's up to you to decide.
