The forgotten ancient village in Shanxi, a real-life version of Joy of Life

The forgotten ancient village in Shanxi, a real-life version of Joy of Life The antique town is crowded with people, but the original ancient buildings are ignored This time, Wenlvjun visited an extremely shocking ancient town secret. This is Fencheng Ancient Town, which is only 50 minutes' drive from Linfen, Shanxi. Because it is located on a major transportation route, it has been prosperous in commerce since ancient times. In the tide of commercialization, a large-scale and complete ancient building complex has been miraculously preserved here - the Fencheng Ancient Building Complex. There are more than 40 ancient buildings existing here, all from the Jin Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty. Beautifully crafted ancient buildings Scattered around the town No one cares, which is a pity • There is no development or scenic spot here. There are no tickets, no cookie-cutter souvenir shops, and very little publicity. Tourists rarely come here This makes this a rare place to escape from the world J⑦𠙶Recommended features: ◎ City God Temple: The most exquisite and largest ancient building in the town is well preserved. The gate tower, watchtower and stage in the temple are all very exquisite. There are complete glazed components on the roof of the main hall, with various shapes of flowers, birds and animals. Outside the temple, there are Ming Dynasty screen walls and two wooden archways. Years of wind and sun have made the wooden archways look very old, and they look even more vicissitudes in the sunset. There is a plaque on the archway with the words "Jianchafang" on it, which reminds people of The Inspection Institute in the recently popular Joy of Life~ • ◎ Temple of Confucius: It was first built in the Tang Dynasty and was restored in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Dacheng Hall is magnificent, and there are several towering ancient trees in the temple. It is said that there are two precious Wen Zhengming poem tablets preserved inside, but unfortunately I cannot enter and have the chance to see them. • ●Drum Tower: The existing building was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty and is about 5 stories high. The cross-shaped, double-eaved, loft-style building stands out among the low-rise buildings in the town. Very shocking ・ ◎Minglun Temple Built in the Yuan Dynasty, the temple contains dozens of stone tablets from the Northern Wei Dynasty. • ● Residential buildings Most of the houses in the town were built in the Qing Dynasty, with typical high-rise courtyard structures. —TIPS Huifen City is only 40 kilometers away from Linfen City, 50 minutes by car, or you can take Xiangfen No. 7 circular bus E-Ticket: No Linfen 3 days 2 nights travel guide: DAY ①: Drum Tower—Dongyang Houtu Temple—Wangqu Dongyue Temple—Weicun Niuwang Temple—Guangsheng Temple DAY ②: Xiaoxitian - Puxian Dongyue Temple - Huozhou Drum Tower - Wahuang Temple - Dayun Temple DAY ③: Fen City Museum—Fencheng Ancient Buildings—Jin State Museum A Great Sadness Temple
