    "The imperial city Xiangfu, formerly known as "Zhongdaozhuang", was named "Huangcheng" because Emperor Kangxi stayed here twice. The imperial city Xiangfu was built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties of the official residence complex. The inner city was built for Chen Tingjing's uncle Chen Changyan in Ming Chongxu six years (1633), to avoid war."

    24.5km from downtown
    Highlights: The “House of the Huangcheng Chancellor” was the official mansion of the famous Qing dynasty official Chen Tingjing, who was the chief editor of the Kangxi Dictionary (the standard Chinese dictionary of the 18th and 19th centuries) and tutor of Emperor Kangxi. The entire architectural complex is divided into an “inner city” and “outer city,” and the architectural style is similar to that of the Qiao Family Compound or Wang Family Compound in Shanxi; all are classic examples of the northern courtyard architecture of the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1912). However, it is different in that as many as 38 members of the Chen clan who resided here were government officials. The complex also has a plaque inscribed and bestowed by the Kangxi Emperor himself, in honor of the complex and its owner.

    No. 1 of Night Attractions
    Highlights: Situ Town recreates the traditional life of a Shanxi market town. When you come to Situ Town, you can experience the warmth of local culture and sample tasty local delicacies. Even more worthwhile is the live “iron fireworks” show. The special technique of incorporating molten iron into a fireworks show requires great skill that has developed over a thousand years. The Spring Festival season is the golden time to visit Situ Town. The high-hung lanterns create a richly festive atmosphere as you stroll slowly down the quaint streets. There are also other folk performances like lion and dragon dances, stilt-walkers, and boat dances. Situ Town also has an “iron fireworks” troop. At dusk, over a thousand people simultaneously set off iron fireworks, and it looks as though heavenly maidens are scattering heavenly blossoms, a marvelous sight.

The tourist facilities are relatively complete. We went early and didn’t feel very crowded. The cable car can sit for six people. A family can sit together, unlike the others, only two can sit."

    "Guoqi Ancient City Zhongyu Building and Tangdi Temple are must-visit attractions. The overall logo of the scenic spot needs to be improved, and now some areas cannot be renovated. After reading it, it is conducive to the recognition of the imperial city Xiangfu, and the price is average. The Tang Emperor Temple, which was built during the Yuan to the Zheng Dynasty, is dedicated to Tang Emperor. There is also a stage opposite the main temple, and there is a partial temple on both sides. The temple is simple and solemn, and the temple is magnificent. It is the highest-regulated Tang Emperor Temple in Yangcheng District. The "Yu" of Yulou means defense and peace of mind. The building and the city are the same structure, the city is the honeycomb city, the building is the honeycomb, the structure is decent, the building is in the city, the top can overlook the imperial city Xiangfu, Guo Yucun whole picture. Take the tunnel to the tunnel of Yulou, experience a wonderful journey of Yulou tunnel to the outside world, and feel the super high wisdom of the ancients hundreds of years ago."

    "The e-ticket redemption logo is not clear enough, and the elderly need to go to the ticket office to exchange physical tickets for visa-free tickets. Commercialization in the scenic area rarely guarantees the original form, but it is slightly inconvenient for tourists to buy food and drinks."
