Yuncheng | Temple Oddities, Chi Shen Temple.

I've been to Yuncheng several times before, and this trip was mainly to visit some of the attractions I missed, and to revisit some of the popular ancient buildings. First, I went to the Chi Shen Temple in the city center, which is now a national key cultural relics protection unit. The Chi Shen Temple was first built in the 12th year of the Tang Dynasty's Dali calendar to commemorate the god who bestowed salt. The Chi Shen has been given many titles throughout the dynasties, and the main buildings that exist today are from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It is also an important historical landmark of Yuncheng's salt industry. The main buildings of the temple are the three main halls: Lingqing Gong Shen Temple (Chi Shen), Rain Master Sun God Temple (Sun God), and Tiaoshan Wind Cave God Temple (Wind God). The statues in the halls are modern, and the temple is a unique sacrificial temple with distinctive regional characteristics. It is the only one of its kind in China and is known as a unique temple in China. Another highlight is the distant view of the salt lake, which is separated from the salt lake by a road. The location is relatively high, so it's a good place to take photos. Scenic spot tickets: 30 yuan, there is a combined ticket for Chi Shen Temple + Museum + City Wall for 39.9 yuan. If you can stay in Yuncheng for a few days, it is recommended to buy an annual pass (128 yuan, can be bought by non-locals). Located on the edge of the salt pool in the city center, you can choose to take a bus/taxi/shared bicycle, etc. At night, the Zhongjinmen area is quite nice to stroll around.
