Follow Me on a 5-Day, 4-Night Tour of Shanxi

I'm finally going to Shanxi, a place I've been dreaming of visiting. I've put together this detailed guide to help anyone planning a trip to Shanxi: 5-Day Shanxi Tour: Day 1: Pick up at the station—Visit Shanxi Museum on your own —Jinci Temple—Zhonglou Street Day 2: One-day tour of Mount Wutai Day 3: Experience Shanxi vinegar culture at Baoyuan Old Vinegar Workshop—Qiao Family Courtyard—Pingyao Ancient City Day 4: Wang Family Courtyard—Hukou Waterfall Day 5: Drop off at the station Clothing recommendations: Spring and fall: It's quite cold, so bring a jacket and long-sleeve sweatshirt. Summer: Short sleeves and shorts are fine, but the temperature at Mount Wutai is unpredictable. Winter: It's cold and it snows from time to time. A down jacket is a must, and snow boots, a hat, scarf, and gloves are recommended. Transportation: Self-driving is not recommended in Shanxi. The terrain is complex and the attractions are scattered. If you're not familiar with the area, you'll waste a lot of time on the road, and you'll need a lot of driving experience. Accommodation: Book as early as possible. Rooms are almost always fully booked during holidays, and prices rise during peak season. If you want to experience Chinese civilization, come to Shanxi. Here, you'll find ancient buildings, murals, painted sculptures, and a rich history and culture. I hope this Shanxi travel guide is helpful. Have a great trip!
