Visiting Linfen | Remember to bring this place with you when you go to Xiaoxitian

The Dongyue Temple in Puxian County is said to have been built during the Tang Dynasty, and has been repaired and expanded during the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and other dynasties. It mainly worships the Taoist Eastern Emperor, who is in charge of the book of life and death, so most of the interior sculptures are themed around the underworld. 📍Attraction Address: Shanxi Linfen-Puxian County 🚗Attraction Transportation: It takes about an hour's drive from Linfen city area to Dongyue Temple. After arriving at the scenic area, you need to switch to the scenic area's shuttle to go up the mountain, and the tour time is 0.5~1 hour. 👍️Must-visit Attractions: The overall architecture is built according to the mountain terrain, with clear layers, the main hall, side halls, bell and drum towers, and stage are all old buildings that have been preserved. The clay sculptures inside are not as shocking as those in Xiaoxitian, but they are also worth seeing. I only took photos of the more exquisitely made ones; I didn't take pictures of the rough ones in the hell mansion. 🎟️Ticket Information: I joined a day tour group departing from Linfen city area. The itinerary was Xiaoxitian in the morning and Dongyue Temple in the afternoon, two attractions in one day, and the total cost was over 💰200 (including ticket price). 💗Other tips: The mountain is very cool, and the view from the top is also quite good.
