Dear friends, when everyone is looking for popular tourist destinations, I discovered a seriously overlooked treasure town in Jincheng, Shanxi. This place is like a history book covered in dust over the years, and every page is filled with stories of ancient buildings. Jincheng has nearly 20,000 ancient buildings, including 46 wooden structures from the Song and Jin Dynasties, which are about a thousand years old. This accounts for one-third of the total number in the country. It is truly a veritable ancient building museum! 🎊 🗓Itinerary: D1: Fengqi Lake→Su Village, Xi Town, Gaoping→Situ Town D2: Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion → Guoyu Ancient City → Diji City → Xiangyu Ancient Castle D3: Liu's Residence→Dayang Ancient Town 👍Most Recommended: ❶Fengqi Lake「🎫🆓」 A lake with excellent ecology🌊, with dancing lotus leaves.
