Listening to Shanxi's gold medal tour guide, he talked about the Notre Dame Temple in Jinci, a must, and two-sided beautiful people, let us have a new understanding of the ancient Shanxi. There are also legendary hard old springs, Zhou Bai, who is 3,000 years old, etc., too many antiquities. It feels like we have crossed the millennium to have a dialogue."Taiyuan.Taiyuan Ancient County/Jinci Temple20.3km from downtownHighlights: Jinci Museum is located along the Jin River in the foothills of Taiyuan, Taiyuan. The building commemorates Tang Shuyu, the founder of the Jin State, and was built as an ancestral hall. Jin Ancestral Hall is home to “3 treasures”: the temple, a bridge over a fish pond, and the Goddess Hall. The “3 unique features” of the Ancestral Hall are ancient trees, Nanlao Spring, and painted clay figurines. To the south is Shifang Fengsheng Temple in the south which, according to legend, was originally the villa of the Tang Dynasty general Yu Chigong.Show Less

- 5.74.6/5326 ReviewFrom596.95"A neglected tourist scenic spot, instead of going to those popular scenic spots to see the head during the summer vacation, it is better to bring children to Xiaotai Mountain (Taishan). The mountain is not too high. You can walk to the top of the mountain in 45 minutes, and the mountain is very cool. Longquan Temple is the biggest highlight. You can visit the Tang Dynasty Buddha Sheli Palace and the Five-Coffin Yuanbao Letter, the Shifang World Guanyin Hall, where the well-preserved Ming Dynasty Buddhist statues and suspension plastics are the only suspension plastics in Taiyuan City, which is very precious. You can enjoy the charm of Buddhist art here."Taiyuan16.2km from downtownNo.15 of Best Things to Do in TaiyuanHighlights: Taishan is located in the southwest of Taiyuan City, 5 kilometers away from Jinci Scenic Area and 3 kilometers away from Jinyang Xishan Giant Buddha Scenic Area.Show Less

It is adjacent to the ruins of the ancient city of Jinyang in the east, Tianlongshan Scenic Area in the west, the famous Jin Temple Scenic Area in the south, and Mengshan Giant Buddha and Taishan Attraction in the north. It mainly includes Longshan Grottoes, the ruins of the Tongzi Temple of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the ruins of the Haotian Temple, etc.Longshan Attraction has beautiful natural scenery, with the characteristics of "different scenery in each season". The original vegetation on the mountain is lush, covering more than 95% of the area. In spring and summer, it is full of greenery and blooming flowers. In late autumn, the mountains are dyed with red leaves and graceful pines and cypresses, which is very poetic and has a unique charm. The "Longshan Red Leaves" are well-known.Show Less
