If you come to Taiyuan and don't visit the Twin Pagoda Temple, aren't you confused?
This must be the Twin Pagoda Temple you have never seen before.
The king of ancient architecture, Shanxi, with its capital Taiyuan, has an ever-lasting city landmark: Yongzuo Twin Pagoda Temple, one of the rare Ming Dynasty twin pagodas in the country, standing side by side, overlooking the clouds. The scenic area will also present a garden landscaping effect of 'fragrant flowers in all four seasons, a different sky every five steps'. Peonies in May, chrysanthemums in November. And it strives to create the beauty of 'flowers and snow in the wind' with 'pear, apricot, peach, and cherry blossoms in spring, lotus leaves and flowers swaying in summer, ginkgo, goldenrain trees, white wax trees, maple leaves, and bright chrysanthemums in autumn, and the strong fragrance of pine waves and snow-covered plum blossoms in winter'.
In addition to the core scenic area of the Twin Pagodas soaring into the sky, Twin Pagoda Park also plans to have more than 20 attractions and areas, including the National Studies Museum, Calligraphy and Painting Academy, Martyrs' Memorial Hall, Red Education Theme Memorial Area, Taiyuan Liberation Martyrs' Memorial Area, Children's Activity Area, Sports and Fitness Fields, Cascading Waterfalls, Xiaoyin Mountain House, etc. With the completion of Twin Pagoda Park, Yongzuo Temple, Baiyun Temple, Wangjiafeng Northern Qi Tomb Cluster, and other attractions will be connected, echoing the Jinci Scenic Area in the southwest, becoming Taiyuan's 'iconic' scenic area with historical and cultural charm.

The peak blooming season of the peonies in Shuangta Park has arrived, with more than ten thousand peony plants showing off their dazzling colors to the public, demonstrating the charm of the nation's beauty and fragrance. These peonies are not only beautiful but also carry rich cultural significance, symbolizing good fortune, wealth, and prosperity. Within the Yongzuo Monastery, there is a 400-year-old Ming Dynasty peony known as 'Zixia Xian', which has purplish-red petals with a hint of purple, and a diameter that can reach up to 20 centimeters, attracting numerous tourists every year. Shuangta Park has planted a large number of peonies, including over 8,000 famous peony plants and more than 10,000 distinctive peonies, covering over 50 varieties such as 'Roufuruong', 'Neon Splendor', 'Pink Peach Blossom', 'Purple Erqiao', etc., allowing visitors to enjoy the flowers while also appreciating the profound historical and cultural heritage of Taiyuan's Shuangta.

Twin Pagoda Park in Taiyuan
The Twin Pagoda Park project is located to the west of the East Central Ring Road, to the east of Shuangta North Road, to the north of South Inner Ring East Street, and to the south of the South Sha River Expressway. The total construction area of the park is 89.6 hectares. The construction of the park is based on the principle of inheriting historical culture, firming cultural confidence, and promoting red culture. It starts with the reconstruction of the ancient 'Twin Pagodas Soaring into the Sky', one of the eight scenic spots of old Jinyang, adhering to the concept of building a park for residents, culture, and ecology, and construction began in May 2020. The completion of the park has ended the history of the eastern part of Taiyuan city having no comprehensive parks and many years of no improvement and protection of the surrounding environment of the Twin Pagoda Temple.
The Twin Pagoda Park revolves around three major functional areas: Yongzuo Temple, the revolutionary history memorial area, and the comprehensive park. With the theme of 'learning history, strengthening beliefs, receiving education, and appreciating beautiful scenery', it aims to create a grand Twin Pagoda scene that is learnable, viewable, walkable, and enjoyable. The Yongzuo Temple within the park has a history of more than four hundred years and is a symbol of Taiyuan's cultural endeavors. The twin pagodas in the temple stand tall and are a symbol of the charming Dragon City.
