Opening hours: 07:00-18:00
M42***46:“China's grotto art originated from the Gandhara art of the Western Regions, but it has been continuously developed and promoted by integrating Chinese culture. From the statues of the Western Regions to the statues of Liangzhou, and then to the oriental smiles of Yungang and Longmen, China's grotto corridors are profound and extensive, rare in the world, and shocking!”

_We***68:“I was so lucky to be able to book this guesthouse on this trip! Every detail exudes care and ingenuity, creating a truly captivating atmosphere. The room was spotless, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and I had a wonderful night's sleep. Not only did they help me plan my itinerary, but they also quickly addressed any issues I encountered. This stay was fantastic, and the value was excellent. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in the area! It's a newly developed guesthouse, the owner is amazing, the environment is fantastic, and there's parking right outside. The room has a smart home system.”

Jeffrey Woon:“First time visit Badaling Great Wall. Bought the 2 ways cable car ticket and great wall admission ticket though trip.com. Took the cable car up to the Great Wall tower 8 then walked / climbed to tower 9, 10, 11 and finally 12. A lot of excercise and steep uphill and downhill. Not suitable for old people. However, the scenic views are malverous.”

M28***51:“A must-see in Shanxi, the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, also known as the Sakyamuni Pagoda of Fogong Temple, is located within the Fogong Temple complex in the northwest corner of the old city of Yingxian, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province. Construction began in 1056 AD, the second year of the Qingning reign of the Liao Dynasty, and was completed in 1195 AD with additions. It is the tallest and oldest existing all-wood pavilion-style building in the world. In 1961, it was designated a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit by the State Council, and in 2016, it was certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the "World's Tallest Wooden Pagoda."”

Anonymous user:“It has great scientific educational significance. It is recommended for children to visit. It is just opposite the Yungang Grottoes. It is recommended to buy tickets for underground visits in advance. If you buy tickets online, don't forget to get the waiting code from the machine on site. Don't be late. The team goes down the well. The wind is cold underground, so bring more coats.”

Anonymous user:“On the first night in the ancient city, I was attracted by the Dai Wang Mansion. Although I knew that it was a modern renovated building, I couldn't help but be attracted by the ancient atmosphere. The iron flower performance in the evening was even more surprising. It can be seen that the actors are very dedicated. Thumbs up! It's so beautiful!”

300***94:“Jin Temple, a once-in-a-millennium garden! Its architectural artistry is breathtaking. It's China's oldest extant imperial sacrificial garden and the largest, oldest, and best-preserved ancestral temple-style classical garden in existence. The Holy Mother Hall is a towering achievement of Song Dynasty architecture. The eight wooden dragon-carved columns in front of the hall are lifelike, and their beams, constructed with a "three-column structure for six rafters" (nipple beams) are the only extant example of a Chinese ancient building conforming to the palace-style structure prescribed by the "Yingzaofashi" (Construction Code). The Yunuma Flying Bridge is China's earliest cruciform ancient bridge, with its unique shape and considered the prototype of the modern overpass. The Offering Hall is my country's only extant building combining a hall and pavilion, featuring an ingenious beam arrangement that is both economical and sturdy.”
