Shanxi, Yangquan, Sandu Village

⛰Altitude: 900m This is a village on the west side of the Taihang Mountains, built on the Loess Plateau. The village produces alum stone for making bricks, so most of the houses are built with kiln bricks produced in the village. Under the sunlight, the whole village appears warm yellow. 📍Sandu Village is located in Yinying Town, Suburban District, Yangquan City, Shanxi Province, in eastern Shanxi, in the middle of the Taihang Mountains, on the western slope. The village is located in a loess hilly area about 2 km long, with Mount Liu Bei to the south and Taiqing Spring in front. It has been known as "better than Jiangnan" since ancient times. ⛳️What to do? Shousheng Temple (ancient belief on the highest point of the village) - Dragon King Temple (blessing for good weather for farming) - Ancient Commercial Street (a thoroughfare) - Ancient Pagoda Tree - East and West Pavilions - Shanxi Red Brick Courtyard 📸Best photo spot? Near Sandu Primary School, next to Shousheng Temple, you can take a spectacular photo of "green onions growing in dry land." 🍽What to eat? There is a local restaurant in the village that mainly serves Shanxi specialties, such as fried pork, hand-rolled noodles, vermicelli tofu shreds, and min ge dou. 🚗Public transportation Take a high-speed train from anywhere to Yangquan North Station (Yangquan Yuxian), then take the train station bus to Yinying Expressway Exit. There is a No. 8 bus near the expressway exit. Take the No. 8 bus and get off at "Sandu Station"! 🎇What to do nearby? Niangziguan Scenic Area - Cangshan Scenic Area (the place of the Orphan of Zhao) - Guguan Great Wall - Hundred Regiments Battle Memorial Hall - Pingding County Ancient Village Cluster - Yangquan Shinao Mountain - Liu Bei Mountain - Taolingu - Xiaohe Village - Yangquan 1947 Cultural Park 👉Of course, you can also drive to the nearby Jingxing County in Hebei, drive on Taihang Mountain No. 1 Road, and see the villages on Taihang Mountain. It can be a bit cold in winter, dry and cold, so it is recommended to wear thick clothes, earmuffs, and gloves. If you are lucky, you can also see the spectacular snow-covered scenery.
