I really like Linfen! It's very livable

The Fen River runs through the city, and its river channel is wider than that of Taiyuan. It also has Binhe West Road, Binhe East Road, Wuyi Road, Jiefang Road... It feels like being in Linfen, but also like still being in Taiyuan. The urban greening rate in Yaodu District is very high, and the air is humid. Every morning when you wake up, your skin feels hydrated. After two months of business trips to Linfen, my skin has improved. Another proof is that after the rain, if you look closely, you will find that the curbs of the non-motorized lanes are crawling with dense snails. Yes, I used 'dense' without exaggeration. See the picture for details, those with trypophobia beware! You have to walk carefully, and every step is crisp, the sound of life breaking. The streets in the urban area are very distinctive. Standing on the Drum Tower and looking in all directions, the four streets are planned and constructed in an orderly manner. Taking a walk through the city, you will always encounter many surprises. One street is full of pomegranate trees that you can reach out and pick. Parents who come to pick up and drop off their children can chat and pick sweet and sour pomegranates when they are ripe. Just imagine that scene, it's simply beautiful! From the 'East Lin Lei Huo' gate of the Drum Tower, heading east is a bustling pedestrian street. It feels like Liuxiang in Taiyuan, haha. The roadside is full of persimmon trees, unlike pomegranate trees, these persimmons grow very high, and you can't pick them even if you jump. When they ripen, they won't fall to the ground and smash everywhere. Both sides of the street are planted with robust plane trees, and the summer is filled with green shade, full of romantic atmosphere, giving a fleeting illusion of being back in Hangzhou. It is said that there is also a road lined with silk tree flowers, which bloom in August and September. Although I haven't seen it yet, it seems I can already smell that enchanting fragrance. How beautiful that street must be! Do Linfen friends know what this street is called? As you can see, I am summarizing the distinctive streets of Linfen. So, if there are any other characteristic roads, please tell me quickly, let's go City walk! Huaguo Street, Huaguo City, Linfen really lives up to its name. The Linfen Municipal Government is really good, thumbs up for the people of Linfen! The city is well constructed, but unfortunately, after Shanxi Normal University moved away, it took away a large part of the population and economic flow. I can't quite understand what the pillar industry of Yaodu District is now. It feels like tourism, with the Drum Tower, Yaomiao, Huamen, Naota Courtyard? Yaodu Ancient Town, etc., haha. Not sure if this feeling is correct. By the way, locals recommended some very distinctive snacks. For beef meatball noodles, you should eat at 'Sanmao's'. I've tried both the dry and soup noodles, they are very spicy and salty, not to my taste. Just try it once, I probably won't eat it a second time. I have to say, friends in Linfen have quite a heavy taste. There is a 'Chenchen Rice Noodles' next to the Drum Tower, which is also said to be very delicious. The method is different from Taiyuan's rice noodles. I'll try it when I have time.
