Shanxi Tour - Taiyuan Day 1 Check in at Taiyuan Nan Zhonghuan Intercity Hotel (very satisfied) at noon. The front desk upgraded us to a deluxe double room, which was very large. In the afternoon, we took our child for a nap and left for the Coal Museum at 3 pm. We had to queue up at the entrance to make an appointment for a guide, which cost CNY10 per person. Everyone had to make an appointment, and no one could enter alone. This museum mainly introduces the formation of coal, and there is a 4D short film that you can experience. Then you can go down the mine and let your child experience the environment and mining equipment of the coal mine. PS: There is a "Jinhuagong Underground Adventure" near Yungang Grottoes. Friends who have been there said it was also amazing, so if you haven't arranged a Taiyuan itinerary, you can consider going to Datong. In the evening, we went to Zhonglou Street. Taiyuan really invested a lot in Mayday, and their presence was felt everywhere on Zhonglou Street. I personally think Zhonglou Street is better than Wuhan's Jianghan Road. The architecture is more distinctive, and there are a lot of "Jinli" cultural and creative products. Day 2 It rained all day. We were originally going to Tianlongshan Grottoes in the morning and then to Jinci. As the rain didn't stop, we finally couldn'

Zhonglou street 钟楼街 can make you forget you are in Taiyuan if you are local. The atmosphere is definitely different. Lots of tourists, food shops and stalls, branded shops, even a shop selling Russian food (at least, according to the sign). There is 3D mapping projection on the buildings which I liked (the dragon one). Overall, the place is good for a one time stroll #tourist #touristic #foodstreet #钟楼街
