    "It's spectacular! But the smell of donkey dung is particularly big. Friends who come like the zoo bring their coats. There is water mist and light rain. The overall service is very good, but there is no project to see the Yellow River. It will be finished in half an hour. The fare is 100. The sightseeing car 20 is not cheap, a natural landscape"

    "The Hongdong big banyan tree is really impressive! The ticket is 75 yuan, although a bit expensive, but it is definitely worth it. First, the ancient big banyan tree, with lush branches and leaves, witnessed the changes in history. Second, the folk performances in the scenic area are vivid and interesting, making people seem to travel back to ancient times. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience!"

    "Guangsheng Temple Scenic Area is connected to the transportation car. I heard that it is a 7 or 8-kilometer mountain road from the bottom of the mountain to Guangsheng Temple (Shang Temple). Panshan Road takes about 5 minutes by car. The fare is 20 yuan per person for round-trip, which is reasonable."

    "A very large and very beautiful scenic area accessible from Pingyao! We went there by public transport.Take a train to Jiexiu, and walk about 300 meters to the left on the main street (with the main station in your back). You'll see, a little hidden, a bus station behind the stores in a side street. From there you can take bus number 302, which is dedicated to the mianshan entrance. However, timetable wasn't clear and we got a taxi eventually going there for 50 yuan. The bus is 5 yuan. We got the bus on the way back at 16:00.The area is beautiful and big, the shuttle buses are nice but some distances between the areas are very walkable. We saw about 2/3 of the park in a day, not visiting every site and temple but seeing a lot!"
