    "Between the two courtyards of Wang's family and Qiao's family, the former was decisively chosen for the following reasons: First, the ticket price, Wang's 50, Qiao's 115, is more than double. Second, in the landscape, Wang's family is bigger than Qiao's family, the content is richer, and there are more things to see. Third, compared to Qiao's family, the commercialization is not too serious."

The source of Jinshui is built to commemorate the first princes of Jin State in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the son of Zhou Wu Wang, and Tang Shuxuan (Ji Xuan).

    Highlights: The Mengshan Giant Buddha is also known as the Giant Buddha of the Western Mountains. It was built in the Northern Qi Dynasty during the reign of the Tianbao Emperor, making for over a thousand years of history. The Mengshan Giant Buddha was originally carved into the cliff face to the rear of Mengshan’s Kaihua Temple. During the later years of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mengshan Giant Buddha was damaged. It was rediscovered in 1980 but, at the time, the head of the Buddha was missing. A new head has since been carved for the giant Buddha. The Mengshan Buddha is incredibly majestic. From the bottom of his legs to his neck is about 30 meters. Based on the proportions of the human body, it is assumed that the original statue (including the missing head) would have been 46 meters tall.
