Yangcheng Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
House of the Huangcheng Chancellor (Huangcheng Xiangfu) Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The Prime Minister's Mansion where Emperor Kangxi stayed - Huangcheng Xiangfu
There are many ancient mansions in Shanxi, and my personal favorites are Huangcheng Xiangfu and Wang's Grand Courtyard. The former is called "mansion", which always feels a bit higher than "courtyard", mainly because Huangcheng Xiangfu is a close minister of the emperor, the prime minister's mansion.
Huangcheng Xiangfu is the former residence of Chen Tingjing, the Grand Scholar of the Wenyuan Pavilion and the Minister of Personnel of the Qing Dynasty, who was also a lecturer for Emperor Kangxi for 35 years, and the Chen family. Huangcheng Xiangfu dared to call itself "Huangcheng" because Emperor Kangxi stayed here twice.
Huangcheng Xiangfu covers an area of 3.6 square meters and is mainly composed of the inner city and the outer city. It is a rare residential architectural complex of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The outer city is Chen Tingjing's private house, a Qing Dynasty architectural complex, with the prime minister's mansion, study, garden, steward's courtyard, inner house, imperial book tower, merit archway, etc.
The inner city is a Ming Dynasty architectural complex, built in a staggered manner according to the mountain, and is the former residence of the Chen family. The most conspicuous and tallest building in the surrounding area is called Heshan Tower, which was built by the three Chen brothers in the fifth year of Chongzhen to resist the invasion of bandits, and can accommodate thousands of people for refuge. As a civilian military defense fortress, Heshan Tower has experienced 400 years of vicissitudes and still dominates one side.
🍁Travel tips
The city wall is the best place to take panoramic photos.
There are Qing and Han costumes for rent at the entrance, if you want an immersive experience, you can rent one.
The Chen Daoming version of "Kangxi Dynasty" was filmed here, and you can still find the original scenes.
Probably because it's the off-season, there's almost nothing to eat inside, there are many tea rooms, only one coffee shop, and a burger shop.
Huangcheng Xiangfu and Guoyu Ancient City are very close, even the parking lots are adjacent, you can play all day.
Please pay attention to the performance schedule and time of the day when you enter, if you are interested, you can watch all of them.
The surrounding restaurants will take a break after mealtime.

whose house is this???
The famous House of the Huangcheng Chancellor (皇城相府-总宪府) is located near to to the city of Jincheng in northern China's Shanxi Province. This place can be reached by car or bus and the best time to visit is Spring or Summer, as the warm sunshine allows for good photo conditions. Tour guides are available at the front gate, along with maps and souvenirs.
The place itself is fantastic for exploring, as there are numerous small alleyways and courtyards. You can also go inside the many buildings and see the beautiful relics and artefacts. The architecture is stunning and mysterious at the same time. Climb to the upper terrrace to see the wonderful tower and a panorama of the surrounding countryside. I highly recommend a visit to this place because of it's historical importance and amazing feel.

Guoyu Ancient City Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
floating colors...
Guo Yu Old Town (郭峪古城) is located in Jincheng, Shanxi Province, China. Accessible by private car or bus, it it located almost directly opposite the House of the Huangcheng Chancellor.
Cross the small square and you can buy tickets at the front gate. Once inside, you will be lost in a maze of small courtyards and alleys, decorated with beautifully-colorer umbrellas...providing a perfect backdrop for taking photos.
The architecture is old and charming and walk to the back to see the impressive tower for a close-up photo.
It is quiet here during the daytime because this place comes to life at night, where it is lit up and many tourists come to witness the pretty spectacle. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area anyway.

Shanxi Jincheng · Guoyu Ancient City {2}
Guoyu Ancient City (located in Guoyu Village, North Liu Town, Jincheng City) covers an area of 180,000 square meters, featuring city walls and towers, official residences, private houses, temples and ancestral halls, shops and workshops, gardens and parks, gate towers and screen walls, wells, and ruins. It is not only a group of ancient buildings with local characteristics in the Qin River basin but also a cluster of honeycomb-like ancient castles. It is acclaimed by experts in ancient architecture as a gathering place for Chinese ancient buildings. The existing traditional courtyards maintain their original state in terms of architectural layout, form, material, and craftsmanship. The overall design and construction are the work of local craftsmen, representing an authentic embodiment of the local architectural cultural tradition. It must be emphasized repeatedly: When visiting Shanxi for ancient architecture tourism, be sure to drive yourself. Otherwise, the exquisite places are all in small mountain villages, where transportation largely depends on walking. Even in places where there are occasional vehicles, the directions can be quite confusing. For example, if you want to visit a certain scenic spot in Jincheng City, you might be only 10 kilometers away from it, but you would have to go back to Jincheng City first and then transfer to another vehicle to get there. Transportation is the biggest challenge.
In Guoyu Ancient City, I stayed at the old residence of Chen𨑳Jing, as shown in the photos following the copy. The courtyard is divided into a 'field' character layout: the four courtyards of Qin (musical instrument), Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting are exquisitely constructed, a layout that is not commonly seen.
Transportation: Take bus 201 from Jincheng East Bus Station to Huangcheng Xiangfu for 1 yuan. The journey takes about 50 minutes.
The Forgotten Ancient Village - Guoyu Ancient City
Speaking of Guoyu Ancient City, many people may be at a loss, not knowing where it is, but if you mention Huangcheng Xiangfu, many people are familiar with it.
But these two ancient cities are only 300 meters apart. Moreover, in terms of construction time, Guoyu City came first, followed by Huangcheng Mansion. Guoyu City was built in the eighth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1635), and the entire ancient city was completed earlier than Huangcheng Xiangfu. In order to protect the villagers from the war, the local gentry and businessmen raised funds and built this ancient city in less than ten months. Chen Jingting, who lived in Guoyu Ancient City as a child, was able to avoid the war and reach the peak of his life and the glory of Huangcheng Xiangfu.
The city wall of Guoyu Ancient City is 12 meters high and 1400 meters long. Because the inner wall of the city wall is divided into three layers, and there are 629.5 caves of various sizes for garrisoning troops, these caves are densely packed, resembling a honeycomb, so Guoyu City is also known as "Honeycomb City" (Huangcheng Xiangfu also used the same architectural mode for garrisoning troops during construction).
The ancient city has three gates, the east gate is the main gate called Jingyang Gate, the west gate is Yong'an Gate, and the north gate is Gongchen Gate.
The ancient city has enemy towers, artillery platforms, urn cities, Yu towers, tunnels, etc., especially the Yu tower architecture is exactly the same as the Kaiping Diaolou in the south. As the highest building in the city, it can command combat and serve as a fortress for secondary protection when the city is broken.
The most classic is that there is a tunnel in the building that leads directly to a common residential courtyard at the east gate, used as the final escape route. (There is also an escape tunnel in the Diaolou of Huangcheng Xiangfu, but it is not open)
Huangcheng Xiangfu is a large courtyard built in order of family rank and inheritance. The residential buildings in Guoyu Ancient City show a typical prosperous and prosperous northern town. There is a main street connecting the east gate in the ancient city, which is the center line of the entire ancient city. Various types of ancient buildings are scattered on both sides, with luxurious and exquisite official residences, elegant and delicate residences, intertwined and built together, showing the deep cultural heritage of the ancient city, and also showing the harmony and harmony of the town life a hundred years ago. It is a unique ancient architectural group in Chinese villages.
Guoyu City has gone through more than 300 years of wind and rain, the city wall is broken, during the Republic of China, Fan Yueting (please remember this good official who has done one term and benefited the people) was the village head, and he carried out a large-scale repair of the city wall. After the repair, the enemy tower was majestic, the parapet wall was neat, and horses could pass around the city. During the land reform, the city kiln was divided among individual villagers.
At present, the best preserved part of the ancient city wall is only a section near the east gate, and the streets and temples in the city have been repaired. Some residential houses have been repaired, and some residential houses cannot be restored because of new construction. Most of the houses are still mainly for living, without decoration, but they look very natural and simple.
