Jinci, Shanxi Province.

Visit Jinci on August 22. Jinci was established during the Western Zhou Dynasty (11th century BC) to commemorate Tang Shuyu, the founding monarch of the Jin State, and his mother, Queen Jiang. It is the earliest existing classical ancestral temple and garden architectural complex in China, with 98 buildings, 110 statues, 300 inscriptions, and 37 cast art pieces that have been preserved for over 300 years. It is a perfect combination of solemnity and elegance, ancestral temple sacrificial architecture, and natural landscapes. According to the "Water Classic" by Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Jinci was already quite large, and it has been repaired for more than 2,000 years to its current scale. The "Three Uniques", "Three Treasures", and "Three Plaques" of the Jinci Museum are the millennium treasures of Jinci.
