A guide is ready to invite you into Taiyuan's "floral world"

Flowers don't stay for long, so enjoy them while you can. The city's culture and tourism bureau recently released a "spring flower viewing" guide, inviting tourists to step into Taiyuan's "floral world" and experience the beauty and comfort bestowed by nature in a world where spring is warm and the scenery is bright. 1️⃣ Encounter the romantic cherry blossom rain 📍 Flower viewing locations: Yuquan Mountain Suburban Forest Park, Peace Park, Taiyuan Botanical Garden, Wenyin Park, Beilin Park, Xuefu Park. Strolling down Cherry Blossom Avenue, you see trees full of blossoms, like a fairy tale world. A breeze blows, and cherry blossoms flutter down, dreamy and fantastical. Dress in Hanfu, hold a paper umbrella, take photos with the cherry blossoms, and capture the beautiful moments. 2️⃣ The subtle red of begonia flowers 📍 Flower viewing locations: Longtan Park, Nanzhai Park, Jinci Park, Taiyuan Zoo, Street Heart Park (Youth Park), Xuefu Park. Begonia flowers are known as the "fairies among flowers." Among them, the Xifu begonia is both fragrant and bright, a top choice among begonias. Before the flowers bloom, the buds are bright red, like rouge dots, and after blooming, they gradually turn pink, like the rosy clouds of dawn. 3️⃣ Clusters of lilacs 📍 Flower viewing locations: Forest Park, Taiyuan Botanical Garden, Yifen Park, Longshan, Wenyin Park, Nanzhai Park, Taiyuan Zoo. Under the lilac trees, the fragrance is overwhelming and refreshing. Clusters of light purple and white fluffy balls sway in the wind, elegant and slightly melancholic. 4️⃣ Tulips bloom in deep red 📍 Flower viewing locations: Jinyang Lake Park, Yingze Park, Taiyuan Botanical Garden. When the tulips bloom, the flowers cluster together, radiating a unique glow. Walking among the tulips, waves of enchanting fragrance hit you. 5️⃣ The national beauty and heavenly fragrance of peonies 📍 Flower viewing locations: Yongzuo Temple, Yingze Park, Jinci Park, Wenyin Park, Taiyuan Zoo, Nanzhai Park. The peony, the queen of flowers, doesn't vie for the spring's attention, but slowly unfolds her beauty in April. This is a beauty of power that accumulates over time, incomparable and pleasing to the eye, making the viewer linger and forget to return. 6️⃣ The vibrant spring of peach blossoms 📍 Flower viewing locations: Peach Blossom Valley Scenic Area, Mengshan Scenic Area, Qingcaopo Village Manor, Taiyuan Zoo, Street Heart Park (Youth Park). Where the peach blossoms bloom, there is a scene of tender purity, leading one into a dreamlike, ethereal paradise. 7️⃣ The "May Flower God" is the peony 📍 Flower viewing locations: Yifen Park, Wenyin Park, Taiyuan Zoo, Street Heart Park (Binxiu Garden), Xuefu Park. The peony blooms when spring is in full swing, with flowers that are rich and majestic, dignified and elegant, and have been called China's flower of love by literati and scholars.

This loft has an incredibly high aesthetic value, it's the kind that leaves a lasting impression, especially the bedroom on the second floor, it looks so cool when the ambient lights are turned on! It's great for taking photos 📸 In terms of location, this B&B is super easy to find, right opposite to Jinyang Lake Park. It's also very close to the popular restaurants in Jinyang Li, just 1 kilometer away 🤩.

I must praise this hairdryer, it really has a luxurious feel 😻, girls will definitely love it 😘. Before check-in, the owner sent detailed instructions for the room to my WeChat 📱, which saved a lot of trouble 😜.

A cost-effective tourist spot, suitable for the public to travel

Previously, in the urban area of Longcheng Taiyuan, there were not many cost-effective and free tourist spots, perhaps apart from the old Yingze Park and the later transformed Fenhe Park, the attractions that could be listed in the hall of elegance were indeed few. However, this ancient city of Jinyang, which has experienced many changes, has become a truly beautiful Taiyuan Longcheng after several years of rapid development. The Jinyang Lake Scenic Area located in the ancient city of Jinyang is a bright card that Taiyuan and even Shanxi show to the world. The scenic area integrates mountains and lakes, ancient and modern, not only has a high cost performance, but also is suitable for the public to travel, suitable for all ages, and is open to the public for free all year round. Scenic Area Overview: Jinyang Lake Scenic Area is located in Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, and is located near Dongru Village. It has the largest artificial lake in North China. The scenic area was initially positioned as leisure and modern as the main theme, with the ecological city as the entry point, fully reflecting the functions of the vibrant city and the dream city, and using the rare water resources to integrate the water tourism creativity of Dream Jinyang, combined with the ecological bird island and bird watching platform, to realize the desire and artistic conception of tourists to get close to nature and return to nature, and meet the needs of different tourists. Personally, I think the biggest highlight of Jinyang Lake Scenic Area is that it has four comprehensive functional bodies and seven scenic spots. Among them, the seven newly built scenic spots in the scenic area are the most eye-catching. Overview of the seven scenic spots in Jinyang Lake: Through water system landscapes such as waterfalls, streams, and water surfaces, combined with pavilions, towers, bridges, and Jinyuan garden culture, a cultural history corridor of Jinyuan style is formed. Among the seven scenic spots in Jinyang Lake, the Jinyang Lake West Mountain Linyun Scenic Area is a major highlight. It is located at the commanding height of the lake view. With the West Bank piled mountain as the carrier, tourists can climb to see the ice and snow covered lake. In Jingetai, you can see the West Mountain Chang and taste the white clouds. In addition, there are agricultural ecological characteristic farming culture and cultural popular science characteristic Mengshan terraced garden attractions, as well as reed wetland characteristic reed pond attractions, and wetland, small island and ecological bridge corridor characteristic Quxi wetland attractions, forming the seven sceneries of Jinyang Lake. At present, the main play projects in Jinyang Lake Scenic Area are: In this season, the ice and snow carnival in Jinyang Lake Scenic Area is definitely a beautiful parent-child paradise. Here is full of ice and snow, from snow circle ice car to snowmobile and banana boat, each activity can make you feel unprecedented fun, various snow play projects will make you return to childhood. Personally, I think the public bicycles in the scenic area of Jingyang Lake are definitely a beautiful scenery. The bicycles in the scenic area are novel and unique in design. Each bicycle is designed with four tires, mainly steering wheel type. Each seat has a pedal underneath, which can be controlled by multiple people at the same time, and can provide power for the car at the same time, which is effortless to ride. The appearance of the bicycle is like a convertible car, divided into two-person and multi-person structure types, mainly blue in color, yellow and blue in color, attached to a blue and white roof, rain and sun protection, dynamic and cool. In addition, after freezing, the surface of Jinyang Lake is like a mirror, like a huge gem embedded in the earth, shining under the sun, the once lively cruise ships are neatly arranged on the frozen lake, beautiful ice patterns crisscross, like the works of nature, it is spectacular. The long-lost Jinyang Lake Scenic Area, various children's favorite amusement facilities are on stage, the antique sightseeing car is refreshing, various performances are full of festive joy, it is indeed a cost-effective tourist spot, why not come to Jinyang Lake this holiday? It is very suitable for the public to travel. Ticket policy: Taiyuan Jinyang Lake Scenic Area is open to the public for free all day.
