Taiyuan Ancient County is located south of Jinyang Lake on the outskirts of Taiyuan City. Fangfang is a rebuilt ancient city, squarely 0.8 square kilometers. It is a scenic spot where the original Jinyang Ancient City has been relocated from the original scenic spot for the rebuilt residents, similar to the model of Wuzhen Xizha and Gubei Water Town. The advantage is that the management is convenient, the housing facilities are also new, and the homestays in the scenic area are unified by the companies under the scenic area, distributed in several courtyards, which is more livable. The disadvantage is that the flow of people is very different in the morning and evening. Although the lights in the city are bright after 8 o'clock in the evening, the lights are wide and rare, and there is no lively in the ordinary ancient town. There are elements in the ancient city, and there are also ancient costume performances arranged during the day. It is good to go shopping during the holiday and take a photo of the ancient costume. Entering the city is free, and the courtyards where the city wall and the filming place of "Manjianghong" are charged. The level of food and consumption in the ancient city is normal. It is said that there are policies and preferences when the scenic spot is introduced to the merchants.
