Taiyuan Ancient City

Taiyuan Ancient City Taiyuan Ancient County was built in 1375, during the eighth year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming dynasty. It was part of the Taiyuan Prefecture during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and has a history of over 600 years. It was the seat of Taiyuan County until the Qing dynasty. After eight years of restoration, Taiyuan Ancient County officially opened on May 1, 2021. I prefer the night view here to the daytime view. The city wall and ancient streets are perfect for a leisurely stroll and taking photos. Lights: 5:30 pm every night Tickets: Free, CNY 20 to go up the city wall
