    "Be sure to go to the Daxiong Palace in Xiaoxitian. The carving is very shocking. It is worth watching carefully. It is worthwhile to taste ~ It is not too many people on this trip, but the road to go is not very good. There are coal trucks all the way, but it is really worth a visit."

    "It’s much fun than Yuntai Mountain, and the whole scenic spot feels like a back garden. The cable car at Yuhuangding is broken. It can only be that the through train on the return trip back to Linyi is free. Remember to buy the seal collection book in the urgent matter at the foot of the mountain. Don’t forget to eat tofu, especially the leek cauliflower. It’s too awkward."

    "Tickets are not included in the Yuncheng Tourism Year Card, which is recommended for improvement. Very close to the hotel where I live. Although the scale of the temple is average, the level is not low. It is a good choice for understanding the history of the Chinese nation. It is not in the list of destinations of the tour group. There are not many people."
