Shanxi Travel Part One - Taiyuan, Xinzhou

🌸A picturesque gallery of nature and a paradise of culture - Shanxi 🌸Taking advantage of the upcoming May Day holiday, I went ahead to Shanxi, a place I've always wanted to visit ✅First stop: Taiyuan 🎈Jinci - The earliest existing royal garden for sacrificial ceremonies in China In April, Jinci comes back to life, not only with its grand and majestic ancient relics but also with a garden full of spring. Jinci has 'Three Wonders' ✔️Zhou Cypress: Planted during the Western Zhou Dynasty, located on the left side of the Holy Mother Hall, still green and tall after more than 3000 years ✔️Maid Statues: There are 43 maid statues inside the Holy Mother Hall, each with different clothing and expressions, life-sized and exquisitely crafted ✔️Nanlao Spring: Symbolizes endless life, the spring never stops flowing, and the water temperature remains constant at 17-18°C throughout the year ✅Second stop: Xinzhou ✔️Xinzhou Ancient City - Founded during the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has a history of over 1800 years Visitors can wear modern Chinese-style clothing or rent a set of Hanfu to take beautiful photos And don't miss the delicious stone cakes ✔️Mount Wutai - One of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China Must-visit spots: Wuye Temple (for wealth and career), Shuxiang Temple (for education), and Fanxian Mountain (for love) ❗❗Important Notes 👉Remember to bring some cash when going to Mount Wutai, as some places only accept cash 👉There is free incense in the temples, no need to buy it at a high price 👉The path up Fanxian Mountain is quite difficult, please be careful 👉It's recommended to bring some food, as there are few places selling food on the mountain, and the prices in the scenic area are relatively high 👉The ticket for Jinci is 80 yuan, and for Mount Wutai is 135 yuan, students can get half-price tickets at the ticket window

I thought it would be a boring temple visit, but I ended up being amazed by the creativity of the ancients at Jin Temple.
