Shanxi Xinzhou Ancient City|A small city recommended by CCTV.
Xinzhou Ancient City, also known as "Xiurong Ancient City", was built in the 20th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (215 AD). It is a historical and cultural city on the ancient tea road between China and Russia. It was an important political, cultural, and commercial center in northern Jin Dynasty. Throughout the dynasties, it has been the seat of the county and state government, an important pass, a land of outstanding people, a place where merchants come and go, and a battleground for military strategists. Therefore, it is known as the "Key to Northern Jin".
Today's Xinzhou Ancient City🏙️ is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction. It mainly includes Xiurong Academy, Taishan Temple, Guandi Temple, Yishan Temple, Xinzhou North City Gate Tower, and Caishen Temple. All of them are worth visiting.

👍Must-visit food:
【Handmade Potato Noodles】
Xinzhou specialty potato noodles, must add chili
【Knife-cut Noodles】
Shanxi, as a major province of carbohydrates, knife-cut noodles are famous at home and abroad
【Leaked Fish】
Starch is made into the shape of a small fish, sour, spicy, and smooth in texture. It's a bit like jelly, but it's more resilient than jelly
【Hanging Frying Pan】
I really like this one. The sorghum noodles are baked into cakes and cut into wide strips. They are soaked in soup and eaten. They are soft and chewy. They are very much to my taste. The side dishes include cucumber, potato shreds, and bean sprouts. They are very refreshing
【Ma Ye】
There are two flavors, sweet and salty. The outer skin is crispy and the inside is soft and chewy, but it's a relatively solid texture
【Vegetable Pancakes】
The vegetables inside feel like they've been pickled and drained. They taste crispy
👍There are also some other special delicacies, such as Daonao Gao, Baode Oil Cake, Baode Bowl Tuo, Tofu Balls, Buckwheat Noodle River Fishing, Steamed Meat, Copper Pot Tofu Brain, Pig's Trotters, etc.
