    "Yongji North Station takes the special line bus directly to the Peacock Tower Scenic Area. After Trip.com booked the ticket, the scenic gate directly brushed the QR code to enter the park. The Peacock Tower has six floors and there is an elevator to take. Up to the top can overlook the Zhongtiao Mountain, but unfortunately the Yellow River has changed its course, and you can no longer see the sight of the Yellow River entering the sea, but it is still very artistic to climb high and remember the ancients."

It is known as the "ancestral of Guanmiao" and "the crown of Wu Temple". The temple is hung with Kangxi imperial pen "Yixuan Qianxuan", Qianlong Qinding "Shenyong", Xianfeng imperial book "Wanshi world pole", and the Queen Mother Cixi pro-book "Weiling earthquake stack", which means that the building is "Spring and Autumn Building"."

    "Take the intercity bus 109 in the Yuncheng City to get off at Dongmao Station in Yucheng County, and then take a taxi for six yuan to the entrance of Yongle Palace. Scan the code to enter the park with the QR code of Trip.com booking. There are three large halls in the park with Yuan Dynasty murals, but they are not allowed to take pictures. The security guard follows like a thief. There is also a woman who doesn't know what to do. The attitude is not good, which makes people uncomfortable. The expensive fare should be better for tourists!"
    Ruicheng
    44.5km from downtown
    Highlights: Yongle Palace, also known as Dachunyang Longevity Palace, was built in the Yuan Dynasty. Construction of such a magnificent palace complex with Taoist characteristics took over a century. Yongle Palace displays the typical architectural style of the Yuan Dynasty. Thick brackets intersect with each other layer by layer without much carved decoration. The architecture is spare and bright compared with the building style in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The halls are arranged on the south-north axis. Of note, there are elaborate wall paintings on the Yongle Palace. There are many and of high artistic value, true rarities.

    "When you come to Wanrong, there is a scenic spot that everyone must see, that is, Li's compound. Shanxi really has many courtyards, and what characteristics does Li's compound have? 🌟 Highlights: 1. Look good. Bai Shanxiao is the first, in the city upstairs into the Li family compound, you can see the big fan, and there is a good word wall inside, in the peak season, you are difficult to photograph no one when 2. View. This is not only a house, there are many beautiful garden-style scenery, especially in a pond, there are hills on both sides of the pond to take beautiful photos. 3. Chajie. It is said that a door of Li's compound was attacked for a long time and it was not opened, and there were multiple locks on this door, which was unexpected for us. There are some walls in the compound, and there are also secret organs. It can be said that businessmen are on alert everywhere. 4. Appreciation. Although the ancestors of the Li family compound were promoted, they married a foreigner's daughter-in-law, so you will find that there is still this thing in the corner of the Li family compound that merges and integrates. The story that happened in the Li family compound has also been filmed in many TV dramas. If you are nearby or driving, it is good to pass by the Li family compound to enjoy it, but when you come here on holidays, you will encounter a sea of people. After all, this is also a more famous compound in Yongji or Yuncheng."

    "Climb up the Yellow River's big ladder cliff and see the beauty of the calm and silky Yellow River. We bought a one-way elevator + glass bridge package, go up the elevator, go down the mountain by yourself, so that you don't go back. If you are physically good and not in a hurry, you can try to challenge and climb yourself."
    Hejin
    81.6km from downtown
    Highlights: The Yellow River Ladder Cliff is located in Hejin City, Shanxi Province, between Longmen and Shimen of the Yellow River. It faces Shimen to the north, Longmen to the south, the Yellow River to the west, and Luliang to the east. The mountains and rivers are magnificent and the scenery is unique. The core landscape of the Ladder Cliff, the Ladder Cliff, is very old, dating back to the Northern Wei Dynasty, according to relevant records. Although the chisel marks on the wall have experienced wind and rain, they are still clearly visible. It is an ancient zigzag plank road artificially excavated on the edge of the cliff according to the terrain. It consists of 365 steps, with a width of four or five feet and each step is seven or eight inches high. The overall shape of the Ladder Cliff from the air is like carving 365 steps on a vertical stone. The terrain is steep, the scenery is unique, and the craftsmanship is amazing. The red past on the ladder cliff: On December 23, 1938, the Japanese army entrenched in Hejin, with the 7th and 8th regiments attached to the Tengtian Battalion as the backbone, plus puppet troops, totaling 4,000 to 5,000 people, more than 20 cannons, and the air force cooperated to attack the frontier positions of the New Eighth Division East Longmen Mountain and Yumenkou. The officers and soldiers of the New Eighth Division fought bravely and repelled the Japanese attack many times. The Japanese suffered heavy casualties, and the casualties of the officers and soldiers of the New Eighth Division’s frontier positions also reached more than 70%. Among them, a reinforced platoon guarding Yunzhong Temple all died heroically. Many frontier positions were lost for a time. On the 30th, Zhu Zhenmin, deputy commander of the New Eighth Division, ordered the 23rd Regiment to cross the mountains and ridges, cross the river from Shijiatan to reinforce, and launch an attack on the Japanese army from the side of Longmen Mountain (Datizi Cliff) to recover all the positions in Longmen Mountain. This battle dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders, killing and wounding more than 200 Japanese soldiers, forcing them to retreat to Hejin and Jieshan. 271 officers and soldiers from Guizhou, including the company commander of the New Eighth Division, were buried together at the foot of Longmen Mountain at the junction of Shaanxi and Shanxi (this place belongs to Hejin County, Shanxi Province). In 1987, the Hejin County Political Consultative Conference built a monument in front of the tomb. The beautiful legend on the ladder cliff: It is said that when Dayu arrived here to control the flood, he encountered an evil dragon blocking him and could not continue the construction. So he built the stone ladder to the sky of the Yellow River ladder cliff, intending to go to heaven to complain to the Jade Emperor. As a result, after the ladder was built, he found that he still could not go to heaven. Then Guanyin Bodhisattva saw it and could not bear the suffering of the people, so he enlightened Dayu to enter heaven, and then met the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor sent heavenly soldiers and generals to kill the evil dragon and remove the obstacles to river control. Dayu led the people to fight day and night, and soon chiseled the dragon gate, allowing the endless flood to flow into the sea. Now there is a barefoot print on the rock wall next to the Guanyin Buddha niche on the ladder cliff. Legend has it that this is what Dayu left when he entered heaven. Peach Blossom Valley Peach Blossom Valley, as the name suggests, is named after the peach blossoms that bloom all over the mountains in early spring. The valley is quiet and elegant, with lush vegetation, gurgling streams, waterfalls, and various rock formations. The scenery of each season is unique. In spring, peach blossoms bloom all over the mountains. In summer, the scenery is lush and green, with birds singing and flowers fragrant. In autumn, the intoxicating red leaves are scattered on both sides of the valley like ribbons. In winter, everything is quiet, accumulating strength and waiting for the coming year. If you are lucky, you can catch a snowfall, which is really as if it can cleanse the beauty of the soul. Mingxiu Plank Road (Glass Plank Road) Mingxiu Plank Road: "Ming" means wisdom, "Xiu" means practice, and "Mingxiu" means practice of wisdom. The plank road is made up of 108 pieces of three-layer tempered glass, which is exactly the same as the number of 108 Buddhist beads. We integrate the meaning of 108 Buddhist beads with it, and hope that everyone can be happy and at ease in this practice of life. The glass plank road is about 230 meters long and has a vertical height difference of about 150 meters. It is the best way to reach Taohua Valley. On the way, tourists can experience the Sky Walk while enjoying the Taohua Valley Waterfall.

    "Some friends will say that Hou Tuxuan is a far away and scenery is general attraction, then you really don't know how many highlights of Hou Tuxuan. 🌟 Highlights: 1. Autumn Wind Building is something we must see. Although we can't go up now, but standing downstairs in the autumn wind, you can still feel the heroic words of Han Wu Emperor's autumn wind. 2. Zhang Yi Ancient Road, just downstairs in the autumn wind stone road, although it may be relatively boring and tasteless to walk, But if you are a person, you can feel the crossing of the ancient stage on the ancient road. 3. When you encounter holidays, there will be ticket friends singing on the ancient stage. You will find that the ancient stage here is quite different. The people on the stage sing on the stage, which neither affects traffic nor affects the performance. It is really very leisurely. 4. Back soil, here can be said to be the oldest temple in China to sacrifice the back soil (terrestrial mother), the Yellow Emperor Pingding the world after the altar here. The Temple of Heaven, everyone knows that the earth is related to the Temple of Heaven. The emperors of the past have come here 24 times to sacrifice and to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Because of the long road, they took the earth from here and built the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. 6. Stone carvings, on the side of the autumn wind building, there is a small house with stone carvings display, it is said to be the true deeds of each emperor in the Song Dynasty, I can't remember a little, please add. 7. The Luo River enters the yellow, everyone knows that the Luo River is the mother river of Shanxi, and standing at the corner of the back of the Tuxi (exit), you can see the prosperity of the Luo River into the Yellow River from a distance. There are so many characteristics of the Luo River in the back of the Tuxi. Come and take a look. Now sitting on the city view of Yuncheng, 3 yuan can be directly reached, it is really convenient."
