Exploring historical Jincheng...

Dayang Ancient Town (大阳古镇) is located in Jincheng, Shanxi Province of China. From the high-speed train station it is actually quite a long distance in the car, the older train station is therefore closer. It is accessible by bus also. Once inside, descend the steps and through the magnificent front gate. You will be greeted by numerous small alleyways and corners along with rows of well-kept old buildings of various purposes; from houses, through to temples and restaurants. The area is well signposted in both Chinese and English along with maps to use. The people here were very friendly and the whole place is very picturesque! The best time to come is definitely first thing in the morning during the spring or summer time, as there are few people and you can take photos much easier. Be sure to check the tourist information office at the front gate and get a free map, as this makes the visit much easier. #tripblazers #shanxi #ancienttown
