The ancient city of Taiyuan, with a history of more than 2,500 years, is worth a visit.

📍Detailed address: [100][Island][Beach] The ancient county town of Taiyuan is located on the outer ring of Jinyuan North Street, Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City, covering an area of ​​about 0.81 square kilometers. The city gates [Shrine] are divided into four sides: east, south, west and north, and the city wall is 3,732 meters long. The city wall has a total of 4 towers, 4 corner towers, 36 watchtowers and 1 Kuixing Tower. The overall style of Taiyuan Ancient County follows the ancient architectural pattern of the ancient Jinyang Ancient City, "City of Phoenix and Remains", and has been known as the "Phoenix City" since ancient times. 🌟Highlights: [100][Island][Beach] The history of the ancient city of Taiyuan can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. Specifically, the history of Taiyuan's city construction began in 497 BC. It was rebuilt again in the eighth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1375) and was under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan Prefecture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has a history of more than 600 years. Until the Qing Dynasty, this was the seat of Taiyuan County. There are 38 existing cultural relics protection sites in the ancient county of Taiyuan, among which the Confucian Temple is a national key cultural relic protection site, the Qin Family Residence in Dongjie Village is a provincial cultural relic protection site, the Dongyue Temple is a municipal cultural relic protection site, there are 22 district-level cultural relic protection sites and 13 general cultural relic protection sites. 👍Most recommended: [100][Island][Beach] The main attractions of Taiyuan Ancient City include Longen Temple, City God Temple, Jade Emperor Temple, Guandi Temple, Confucian Temple, and Chayuan Kuixing Tower. I think the first thing to do when traveling to the ancient city of Taiyuan is to see the historical value it contains. Since the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period, through the Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and other historical periods, it has always been an important political, economic and cultural center of Shanxi Province. The second is the tourism value of [RoundNails][RoundNails]. Needless to say, the city attracts a large number of tourists with its unique historical and cultural background, quaint architectural style and rich tourism resources[BaseballCap][Bounet]. Visitors can enjoy the ancient city walls, streets, temples, ancestral halls and other architectural landscapes here, and can also taste traditional Shanxi cuisine. 🌸🌸🌸
