A treasure that National Geographic missed! It’s really sad that Linfen is not popular!

/ Those ancient buildings that jumped out of Liang Sicheng's books It's so beautiful that it makes people want to cry😭 During the half month in Shanxi, I visited several ancient buildings. To this day, the shock that struck my soul is still vivid in my mind. Today I will write a three-day and two-night guide for Linfen It is recommended to code it directly! / ✅Three days and two nights itinerary: D1: Xiaoxitian→Guangsheng Temple→Dongyue Temple D2: Huozhou Guanyin Temple → Wahuang Temple Thousand Buddha Cliff → Catholic Church D3: Fencheng Ancient Buildings→Fusheng Temple . 🔶Xiaoxitian in Xi County ✔️Must see: The pinnacle of Chinese suspended sculpture! The golden hanging sculptures of gods and Buddhas in the main hall shocked me so much that I was speechless. 📸 Recommended seats: ① Shoot from above and take symmetrical photos on both sides of the hall (wide angle is recommended) ② Low-angle shot of the reflection of the hanging sculpture under the lotus platform . 🔶Guangsheng Temple ✔️How to play: Divided into Upper Temple (Feihong Tower) and Lower Temple (Water God Temple Yuan Dynasty murals) 📸Feihong Tower fairy seat: ① Take a photo of the glazed tower from above with the incense burner in front of the tower as the foreground ② Go around the tower and take photos of the corner glass warriors . 🔶Dongyue Temple ✔️Unpopular treasures: Twenty-eight Mansions sculpture emoji package site, Panlong Pillar is domineering 📸If you are wearing Hanfu, it is recommended to take panoramic photos on the platform. The red walls and green tiles are outstanding! . 🔶Huozhou Guanyin Temple ✔️Highlights: Ming Dynasty hanging sculptures + gilded murals, small group tours . 🔶Wuhuang Temple ✔️Surprise Easter Egg: The only mural of the emperor and empress in the country . 🔶Thousand Buddha Cliff ✔️Secret experience: Find the statues made by Tang Dynasty donors on the banks of Fen River 📸The aerial view is super shocking . 🔶Huozhou Catholic Church ✔️A magical mix of Chinese and Western styles: glazed roof x Gothic style . 🔶Fencheng Ancient Buildings ✔️Walking guide: City God Temple → Confucian Temple → Drum Tower → County Government Office (living ancient county town) 📸Street photography location: ① Take photos of people passing by at the Gulou Crossroads ② Symmetrical composition of the reflection of the Confucian Temple Panchi . 🔶Fusheng Temple ✔️The ultimate Easter egg: the ancient Jin Dynasty temple hidden in the wheat field, the hanging sculpture of Guanyin crossing the sea is breathtakingly beautiful 📸Take a photo of Guanyin from a kneeling angle (it is recommended to wear solid-colored clothes to create a silhouette) / ‼ ️Personal tips: 🔻The ancient building has a small space, so you must bring a super wide-angle lens 🔻The attractions are scattered and you can charter a car to travel 🔻Prepare more cash, some temples only accept paper tickets 🔻Wear a pair of comfortable shoes and go for a walk every day! . 🍜Food tips: Xixian Yu Lu pear juice/Huozhou New Year steamed buns/Wu family smoked meat with noodles, and the fried sugar-fried pancakes at the entrance of Guangsheng Temple are so fragrant!
