    "This trip to Shanxi, the folk compound must be seen, so choose one from the Wangjia Courtyard and Qiaojia Courtyard. It is better to choose the Wangjia Courtyard. First of all, the tickets are joint tickets (see above). In fact, we only played the Wangjia Courtyard. Wangjia Manor is a modern-built farmhouse that does not need to be an attraction. The Wang Family Courtyard is worth visiting: First, the area is large, composed of three castles, the last castle is now a hot spring hotel. Second, the scenery is good, built on the mountain, and the view is wide and beautiful. Third, the architectural style inside is good-looking, and there are many points for taking pictures and punching in. The inconvenience of the attraction is to climb the slope all the way, which is difficult for the elderly and people with bad legs and feet."

    Highlights: The Wang Family Courtyard is 35 kilometers away from the ancient city of Pingyao. Built by the Jingsheng Wang family during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, its construction took over 300 years to complete. Among Shanxi's courtyards, Its scale and grandeur are absolutely second to none. People who have been to the Wang Family Courtyard would exclaim that it is virtually a city! It is precisely because of its majestic grandeur, as well as its architectural and cultural achievements, it has always had the reputation "the Wang family does not return to see courtyards".

Each arm is rounded and plump, and the ratio to the body is just perfect. There is no feel of stiff, reaching the harmonious and perfect realm of sculptural art.

    "In the morning, I took the first traffic car to enter the scenic spot. It was still a white fog under the mountain. When I arrived at the mountain, the fog retreated. I saw the sea of clouds, which was so beautiful. The scenic spot is really big. I can't go shopping in a day. I can only pick a few attractions. It's very tired, but the scenery is really beautiful."

    "Pingyao Ancient City is a recommended attraction. It is suitable for visiting various attractions during the day. More than 20 attractions in the ancient city can be purchased with package tickets. It is valid for three days. Visit with ID card. Each attraction has a souvenir seal. After the visit, it can be stamped at the corresponding number for memorial. The attractions usually close at 18-19 o'clock. At night, you can enjoy the night view of the ancient city and taste Shanxi cuisine. The light show at Ying'anmen (South Gate) at 9 o'clock every night is very spectacular. The full length is 17 minutes. You have to watch it at one point. Just remember to walk out of Ying'anmen before 20 o'clock. Otherwise, it is inconvenient to go to the square outside the city after closing at 20 o'clock. Waiting in the square for an hour after 21 o'clock light show starts on time, the full length is 17 minutes. After viewing, you can return to the ancient city from the left and right gates."

    "The parking lot of the scenic spot is quite large. After parking, you need to walk five to ten minutes through the commercial street to reach the entrance of the scenic spot. Qiao's compound has a unique architectural pattern, a wide area and a rigorous layout. The whole is in the shape of "sloppy", consisting of six courtyards and 20 small courtyards, a total of more than 300 houses, scattered and magnificent. The compound adopts closed castle-style buildings, which are both defensive and private. The architectural style combines Chinese tradition and Western elements, and the decorations of brick carvings, wood carvings, color paintings and other exquisite decorations show the exquisite craftsman skills and deep cultural heritage. Among them, the main houses of the Northwest and Northeast courtyards are particularly magnificent, highlighting the prosperity and dignity of the family.

    "Jinci is really great. It is worthy of being the first tourist attraction in Taiyuan. Jinci Park is free. The scenery is already very beautiful. It took a long time to visit the Jinci Museum, the Notre Dame Temple, Zhou Bai, the Temple, various cultural relics and monuments... The sense of historical age is full of people, and it is a worthwhile trip."

    "Very worth going to the place, beautiful scenery, exquisite architecture, and a shot is beautiful. Listening to the tour guide explaining the story that happened inside is even more interesting. It is worthy of being the first-ranked attraction in Taiyuan. There are other scenic spots near Tianlong Mountain. You can arrange enough time to play together."

    "The black myth Wukong made Xiaoxi Tianhe in Jixian County. The small reception capacity of the scenic spot is poor. We went the next afternoon of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The car can only be parked on the side of the road one kilometer away. The tickets bought online have to be changed. The queue is not humane enough, but the Daxiong Palace of Xiaoxitian is too shocking and it is worth it. At first glance, Yulu Xiangli in Jixian County is delicious, but unfortunately I bought less."
    Xi County
    90km from Xiaoyi
    Highlights: Xiaoxitian is located on Fenghuang (Phoenix) Mountain, 1 km northwest of Xi County, Linyi City, Shanxi Province. It is a Buddhist temple original called Qianfo Temple (Thousand-Buddha Temple). The temple is divided into upper- and lower-level courtyards. Attractions include Daxiong Hall, Weituo Hall, and some interesting side rooms on the left and right. Within the two courtyards are many colorful and vivid statues. These are all fine examples of excellent Ming Dynasty artworks, forming a true treasure of Ming Dynasty color statues.
