Hey guys, I recently discovered an amazing travel city—Taiyuan! Here's a super detailed travel guide for you 📝 Save it now! 🏛️ Must-Visit Attractions: - Shanxi Museum: "Underground artifacts in Shaanxi, above-ground artifacts in Shanxi"—this place is a treasure trove! From ancient stone tools to Shang and Zhou bronzes, Tang and Song paintings and porcelain, to Ming and Qing crafts, spanning hundreds of thousands of years of history. Visiting Taiyuan without coming here would be a waste! - Jinci Temple: As the saying goes, "If you haven't been to Jinci, you haven't truly been to Taiyuan." It's the largest garden-style temple in China and a filming location for the 1986 version of *Journey to the West*. With towering ancient trees and architecture full of charm, you'll feel completely at peace after visiting! - Taiyuan Botanical Garden: A dreamy garden in the city, featuring tropical plant pavilions, desert plant pavilions, and themed flower pavilions. The rooftop with a starry sky is super romantic, and when the lights come on at night, it's perfect for photos that will blow up your social media! - Taiyuan Ancient County Town: The filming location for the movie *Full River Red*. Stepping inside feels like traveling back in time, with its quaint streets and buildings full of historical charm—great for photos! 🍜 Food Recommendations: - Hao Ganggang Yangza Ge: Famous for its mutton soup, made with intangible cultural heritage techniques—delicious and flavorful, a must-try! - Liu Wei Zhai: A century-old brand, its braised meat was once a tribute to the imperial palace—absolutely amazing taste! - Shunliu Noodles: A representative of Shanxi noodles, with various flavors—one bite and you'll be completely satisfied! 🏠 Accommodation Suggestions: - InterContinental Taiyuan: Located in Changfeng CBD, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning views of the Fen River—awesome! - Taiyuan Hubin International Hotel: Lakeside rooms with unbeatable views and a great location! 🚗 Transportation Guide: Getting around Taiyuan is easy, with buses and subways covering most attractions, and taxis are affordable too.

🏯 Qikou Ancient Town, an ancient city on the Yellow River in Shanxi 🇨🇳 📍Qikou Ancient Town (碛口古镇), a National 4A tourist attraction in China, is located in Lüliang City (吕梁市), Shanxi Province. It retains a rich Ming-Qing period architecture, including old warehouses, banks, pawnshops, temples, and a harbor. 🌟This ancient city was once a major commercial center for Shanxi, connecting east-west, north-south, and west by water and land, making it a bustling port city frequented by major merchants. ☁️Although its role has changed to a tourist destination, the charm of this ancient port city on the Yellow River remains unparalleled. You'll definitely feel like you've been transported back to ancient China! 🏯 #ChinaTravelGroup #China #Shanxi #QikouAncientCity 📸 cr. 山狗, 硌走的索菲, 麥子先生【小红书】
