    "The Yuan Dynasty has been burned, which was built according to the records. You should be able to overlook the Yellow River on sunny days. I hate the practice of adding color to the small video. The plastic flowers planted in the garden downstairs are a big failure. The slabs on the foundation of the building have fallen off, and the maintenance is not enough in the later stage. There is an elevator, but it can only be up and down once. There are 50 tickets bought in advance on Trip.com, but they can only be used after 2 hours. The time is not enough, so I have to refund the ticket on the spot. After scanning the code to buy the ticket, I found that it was still on Trip.com. Each ticket was 4 yuan expensive, which was too tossing."

    "The temple of Guandi in Jiezhou is not only a temple, it is a symbol of loyalty and courage, carrying the culture and belief of thousands of years, attracting countless believers and tourists to come to the pilgrimage. A magnificent four dragons are alive and like a wall is broken. Not only is it a gem of ancient Chinese architectural art, but also a vivid interpretation of Guan Gong's heroic spirit of "Dragon Tiger Wind and Cloud Club". Each temple in the temple exudes a solemn atmosphere, especially the sage of emperors hanging high above the beams and pillars, telling how the official deeds of Guan have crossed the millennium, witnessing the historical status of Guan Gong being revered as "Wu Sheng". Step up, the Spring and Autumn Building is the essence of the entire Guandi Temple. Stepping into the building, a Guan Yu reads the statue of Spring and Autumn sitting in the center, his eyebrows revealed the calm and wisdom, as if people are crossing back to the three kingdoms of the campfire. After visiting, I was attracted by the cultural and creative products of Guandi Temple. It only takes about 10-20 yuan to carry this blessing from the ancestor of Wu Temple with me. The high cost performance is amazing. This is not only a temple, but also a living history book, waiting for every traveler to read and feel. Jiezhou Guandi Temple, a place that makes people feel awe and return full of people."

Upon entering the scenic site, visitors will first come to the Jieyi Garden. In the garden are structures such as the Jieyi Building and the Junzi Pavilion. In the main temple, the primary hall is Chongning Hall. This is where the statue of Guandi can be found.

    "Originally known as Dachunyang Wanshou Palace, it was built to commemorate the famous Taoist Lu Dongbin in the Tang Dynasty. It is a famous Taoist palace view. It is famous for its exquisite Yuan Dynasty murals and is one of the gems of ancient Chinese mural art. The main building complex of Yongle Palace sits north and south, and along the central axis are arranged in turn with the Dragon and Tiger Palace (Wujimen), Sanqing Palace (Wuji Palace), Chunyang Palace and Chongyang Palace. These buildings reflect the typical Yuan Dynasty Taoist Palace architectural style. Among them, the Sanqing Palace is the most magnificent, is the largest palace in the palace, and is also the essence of the mural art. Especially the "Dynasty Yuan Map" in the Sanqing Temple depicts the magnificent scenes of the Taoist gods worshiping the heavenly throne of the Yuan Dynasty. The picture characters are many, vivid, colorful and smooth. It is the peak of ancient Chinese mural art. It is the study of social life, religious belief, The costume system and so on have extremely high value. What is more shocking is that Yongle Palace has been relocated in order to cooperate with the construction of the Sanmenxia Reservoir of the Yellow River! This is simply an engineering miracle, let people pay homage to the wisdom and courage of ancient craftsmen. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the security uncles in each temple are not only very conscientious, but also enthusiastically share historical events about Yongle Palace with tourists, which gives me a deeper understanding of this place."

    "The second time I came, I came to see Cui Wei and Hongniang. Pujiu Temple is the top ten tourist attractions in Shanxi. I came to this west wing. I got off the train at Yongji North Station, took the West Line directly, and went directly to the entrance of Pujiu Temple. It was really convenient."
