Anonymous user:“The full marks are all for the hanging sculptures in the Main Hall. I followed the Black Mythology all the way here. The previous temples have their own merits, but the shock that Xiaoxitian gives you is not a little bit. Only when you stand in it and look up, can you feel the visual and spiritual impact it brings to you. Friends have seen a lot of pictures, I will post a few to join in the fun😀😀”

Simon:“The Feihong Tower is quite stunning. The glazed tower body sparkles when the weather is good. Guangsheng Temple is divided into the upper temple, the lower temple, the Water God Temple and the Huoquan. The murals in the Water God Temple need to be opened on the phone to see clearly. It is recommended to find an explanation, otherwise it will be a quick tour.”

M52***71:“The Hongdong Big Locust Tree Root-Seeking and Ancestor-Worshipping Park, located in Hongdong County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province, is the only sacred site in China dedicated to the quest for roots and ancestral worship. It is known as the "Homeland of the Chinese People, Holy Land of Ancestral Roots." During the Ming Dynasty, from the third year of the Hongwu reign (1370) to the fifteenth year of the Yongle reign (1417), the government organized 18 large-scale official migrations beneath the Hongdong Big Locust Tree, involving millions of people who relocated to over 500 counties and cities in 18 provinces, including Beijing, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Anhui, and Jiangsu. This led to the popular folk song: "Where are my ancestors? Under the Big Locust Tree in Hongdong, Shanxi. What was their former home called? Under the Big Locust Tree, the Stork's Nest." The scenic area is divided into five major sections: "Immigration Historic Site," "Ancestral Worship Activities," "Folk Customs Tour," "Fen River Ecological Zone," and "Ancestor Culture Square," boasting over 60 cultural attractions: Root Carving Gate: shaped like a locust root, symbolizing shared roots and ancestry. Millennial Locust Root: Remnant of an ancient locust tree from the Song and Yuan dynasties, approximately a thousand years old. Ancestral Hall: China's largest ancestral hall dedicated to hundreds of surnames, housing the surname tablets of 1,230 immigrant ancestors. Immigration Reliefs: Vividly recreate historical scenes of immigration. Live Performances: "Immigration at the Big Locust Tree" and "Su San Passing by the Big Locust Tree." Level: National AAAAA-level Tourist Attraction. Address: No. 002, Gongyuan Street, Guhuai North Road, Hongdong County, Linfen City. Opening Hours: Peak Season (February 12th - January 17th): 7:30 AM - 6:30 PM. Off-season (January 18th - February 11th): 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM.

M39***74:“Dongyue Temple was first built in the Yuan Dynasty. It is one of the oldest Taoist temples in Beijing. It mainly worships Dongyue Emperor, the god of Mount Tai. The temple complex is large in scale. There are still Taizong Hall, Yude Hall and other Ming Dynasty relics. The exquisite Yuan Dynasty mural "The Return of the Taishan God" in the hall is a national treasure. The central axis is rigorously laid out. More than 80 steles from past dynasties are preserved between the red walls and green tiles. The calligraphy stele of Zhao Mengfu is the most precious. The Dongyue Temple Fair held on the 28th day of the third lunar month every year continues the tradition of hundreds of years. It is now an important carrier of Beijing folk culture. Its Taoist music has been selected as a national intangible cultural heritage.”

玩玩月儿:“People in Linfen say that they should eat beef meatball noodles. This restaurant seems to be close to Yaodu District, so we decided to try it. First of all, the noodles are alkaline noodles with a lot of meat. Two medium and one small are 41 yuan, which is enough to fill you up. But there are still many problems to get out of Linfen. First of all, the noodles are not chewy, and people in big cities no longer eat alkaline noodles. Second, the salt is heavy! It's okay to try the local characteristics.”

The elegant environment and comfortable style here will make you feel that you should come to this kind of place naturally, and the most important thing is that the price here is very affordable. The Western food is also very good. You can see that the Western chef is very careful in selecting ingredients, which are fresh and tender. Not to mention things like salads and steaks, the taste is simply amazing. I strongly recommend everyone to come to this restaurant to eat Western food. Needless to say, I have fallen deeply in love with it.”
