[2025 Quwo Attraction] Travel Guide for Dabei (Updated Jun)

Xiaoxitian in Linfen is popular, Hukou Waterfall is popular... But the niche attractions next to the Jin State Museum are easily overlooked. That is the Dabeiyuan of Jinnan Stone Sculpture Art Museum. 🚉Transportation strategy: Self-driving: Locate Dabei Temple and you will arrive at Qucun, where a street full of people sell pastry. Public transportation: 1. Take the bus from Houma Bus Station at 8:00, 9:20, or 13:50, priced at 12 yuan and takes 60 minutes to arrive 2. Take the bus from Quwo Bus Station at 8:00, 9:30, 11:00, 12:30, 14:00, 3 yuan, 30 minutes to arrive 3. Take the bus from Quwo Bus Station to Wanhu or Xiayuan to the west gate of Qucun, and then walk here 📝Notes: 1. The main gate is not at the main gate you see, but in the Quwo Village Committee on the right. Of course, there is a T on the right side of the main gate. 2. This is not an open tourist attraction yet. You need to talk to the cultural relics protector when you enter the door. The old man is almost 80 years old and lives here. He will ask for some incense money, usually 10 yuan. As for whether to give it or not, it depends on your fate. 3. Dabeiyuan is also called Jinnan Stone Sculpture Art Museum. The stone carvings here are unique, but the wood carvings are also extraordinary. Remember to look up when watching. 4. It is recommended to come in the morning when the light is just right and the stone figures will look more spiritual. 5. The monkeys and lions in the courtyard are very unique. See if you can discover their quirky and clever tricks. 6. The visit takes about 30-40 minutes. If you like the inscriptions, it may take longer. 7. This place is on the same line as the Jin State Museum. Avoid visiting on Mondays and take a look at them together.
