Shanxi | A land of millennial aesthetics, a journey that will move your soul.

| A land of millennial aesthetics, a journey that will move your soul. Shanxi, a city that deeply impressed me😍! Here, you can see the flying eaves and brackets at a glance, carrying the cultural memories of the Northern Wei, Liao, and Jin dynasties in the long river of history. There are also artistic treasures such as painted sculptures, wood carvings, murals, and glazed tiles🎨. 27 out of 36 real-world locations in "Black Myth: Wukong" are in Shanxi. Only by being there in person can you appreciate the ultimate aesthetics that span over a thousand years🙌. 🌟【Reverse Travel Route】 • Day 1 - 2: Lüliang • Lijia Mountain Village➡️Qikou Ancient Town➡️Xibayun Village, here you can find ancient buildings, cave dwellings, and traces of life from generation to generation on the loess plateau. It is recommended to stay in Lijia Mountain Village, where there are fewer people and accommodation is cheaper, and it is only a 13-minute drive from Qikou🚗. • Day 3 - 4: Datong • Yungang Grottoes➡️Huayan Temple➡️Shanhua Ancient Temple➡️Yong'an Zen Temple, perfectly preserved ancient buildings from the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Many attractions are free of charge, and the grottoes are even more amazing. Remember to enter Yungang at 9:00 am for the first wave of visitors, and choose to visit Shanhua and Yong'an in the afternoon when the light is good☀️. • Day 5 - 6: Jinzhong • Pingyao Ancient City➡️Shuanglin Temple➡️Zhen'guo Temple, this is an "ancient city too poor to be demolished", with the most complete ancient county seat preserved today. Visit Shuanglin Temple and Zhen'guo Temple first in the morning, and take photos at the Pingyao Ma Family Courtyard📸. 💡【Travel Tips】 • Attractions in Shanxi are far apart, it is recommended to drive yourself🚙, time is flexible and controllable. • Travel during off-peak hours to avoid wasting time looking for restaurants😜. • If you are hungry on the way, you can try Jinmailang Shanxi Knife-cut Noodles, 0 fried noodles, smooth and chewy texture, soft and non-sticky, more fragrant the more you chew, with vegetable and vinegar packets, full of flavor😋. • It is not recommended to join a tour group, this place is suitable for quiet and slow travel, to experience the charm of historical and cultural heritage🎊. Come to Shanxi and embark on a soul-stirring journey through a thousand years!
