What People Are Saying About Shanxi

Jinci Museum

The front is the park. The back door is Jinci. The two yards are quite big. It is very interesting to stroll slowly. Later, Jinci invited the explanation of the historical content that you know will be more clear. Two or three hours is enough to go around.

Jin Temple in Taiyuan is one of the must-see attractions for tourists visiting Shanxi. Tickets are reasonably priced and can be purchased on Ctrip. You can enter directly by scanning the QR code. There is a large park in Jin Temple with pleasant scenery, good environment and convenient transportation. You can take multiple buses to get there.
Yungang Grottoes

If you don't ask for a tour guide after visiting the Yungang Grottoes, you will just have a quick tour. Our tour guide, Brother Xin, used his expertise and enthusiasm in the cold weather to bring our trip to Datong to a successful conclusion. He gave us a detailed explanation of each cave that can be visited from Caves 1 to 20, and also showed us relevant information and introduced the caves that cannot be visited temporarily. The explanation gave us a good understanding of the historical culture related to the Northern Wei Dynasty and the knowledge related to Buddhism, which was very beneficial.

Wutai Mountain

文明做人
After flying directly to Taiyuan, I rented a car and drove to Wutai Mountain. I stayed at the B&B for one night and went straight to Shuxiang Temple the next day. Later, I went to Wuye Temple and Guanghua Temple. Since there are not so many people in winter, the air is OK, but it is a bit cold. It is recommended to bring a thick down jacket.
Wuye Temple

yjw2000
Wuye Temple, also known as the Five Dragon Kings Hall and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pavilion, is located in the center of Taihuai Town, Wutai County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province. It was built in the 44th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1616) and was once a temple affiliated with the Pagoda Temple. It was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty and changed to the Yellow Temple. The spatial structure of the Wuye Temple is composed of the Manjusri Hall, the Wuye Hall, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pavilion, the monks' quarters, and the stage. The Wuye Temple is located north and south. The main buildings are the Five Dragon Kings Hall and the Manjusri Hall. It covers a total area of ​​2,040 square meters. There are 6 halls, 3 tall buildings, 20 monks' quarters, 1 stage, 2 pagodas, and 3 Ming steles. It is one of the most popular temples in Wutai Mountain. The Wuye enshrined in the temple is the legendary Guangji Dragon King Bodhisattva, which is the localized and secularized product of Manjusri Bodhisattva in Taihuai. It carries people's good wishes for a good harvest of crops, no disasters, family health, and everything goes well. According to folklore, Wuye originally had a black face, but Manjushri Bodhisattva transformed into the Five Dragon Kings in order to help all living beings, so his black face turned into a golden face. The Five Dragon Kings transformed by Manjushri Bodhisattva loved watching plays, so an ancient stage was built opposite the Five Dragon Kings Hall, specifically for Wuye to perform plays.
Pingyao Ancient City

155***18
I think there are a lot of places to see in the ancient city. We buy passes and we walk at will. We go to see who's home. It’s very interesting. I didn’t ask to explain. I just looked at the relevant information in advance. We reserved a day for it. It’s very enough. The restaurants that eat inside are not thundered. The service is also very good. It’s a pity that the weather is cold. Summer or New Year should be more lively.
“Seeing Pingyao”
avatar
M62***59
Really. It was the first time in my life that I watched Wang Chaoge's masterpiece "Seeing Pingyao Again". It was the first time in my life that I watched it while walking for an hour. I was immersed in the plot and didn't feel tired at all. It was as if I was in the play. I felt emotional, shed tears, was shocked and moved by the ups and downs of the plot. The ending of the play said: At this moment, please put your hands on your chest and silently feel who your ancestors are and where you come from. This is the climax we want.
Guanque Tower

Very good photos. The scenery after reaching the top is very beautiful and magnificent. Yongji's propaganda culture is great. I like it. After reaching the top, it feels like traveling through time and space and standing in the perspective of ancient poets. Reading their poems gives me a sense of being there.
Yongle Palace

卡克塔省心荷
Yongle Palace is the most interesting attraction in Ruicheng. I wandered around it for three hours and listened to three different tour guides introduce the paintings in Sanqing Hall. I gained a lot.
