    No.1 of Night Attractions in Jincheng
    Highlights: Situ Town recreates the traditional life of a Shanxi market town. When you come to Situ Town, you can experience the warmth of local culture and sample tasty local delicacies. Even more worthwhile is the live “iron fireworks” show. The special technique of incorporating molten iron into a fireworks show requires great skill that has developed over a thousand years. The Spring Festival season is the golden time to visit Situ Town. The high-hung lanterns create a richly festive atmosphere as you stroll slowly down the quaint streets. There are also other folk performances like lion and dragon dances, stilt-walkers, and boat dances. Situ Town also has an “iron fireworks” troop. At dusk, over a thousand people simultaneously set off iron fireworks, and it looks as though heavenly maidens are scattering heavenly blossoms, a marvelous sight.
