I rarely use the word "shocking" to describe a travel destination! !

“See Shanxi for its cultural relics” is not just talk.
In Shanxi, history does not lie on the pages of books.
Instead, it stands before you in a thousand-year-old posture.
If you want to see ancient buildings, you must come to Shanxi!
I prepared a 4-day tour guide for Shanxi.
I hope this helps those of you who like ancient buildings.

🔸Xiaoxitian
This is the Little Western Paradise that appeared in the Black Myth: Wukong. It is also a thousand-year-old art palace hidden in Shanxi. The hanging sculptures in the palace are lifelike. Don't miss it when you come to Shanxi.
🔸Guangsheng Temple
This place has survived two major earthquakes without any damage! The pagoda decorated with colored glaze is also exquisite, and the countless sculptures are gorgeous. It is also the filming location of the 1986 version of "Journey to the West".

𝘿𝙖𝙮𝟮: Pingyao
🔸Shuanglin Temple
This is a small gem hidden outside the ancient city of Pingyao. The colored sculptures inside are called "the pinnacle of clay sculptures". Each of the 2,052 colored Buddha statues in the temple tells a historical story.
🔸Pingyao Ancient City
Pingyao Ancient City is a living ancient city that not only retains the urban layout of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but also carries the wisdom and glory of Shanxi merchants. It is a stop not to be missed when getting close to ancient Chinese economy and culture.

𝘿𝙖𝙮𝟯: Datong
🔸Yungang Grottoes
The Yungang Grottoes are an epic solidified on the rock wall. If you love art, history and culture, this is a soul-stirring journey.
🔸Huayan Temple and Shanhua Temple
If you are visiting the ancient city of Datong, don't miss these majestic ancient temples that have been around for thousands of years. Take a quiet walk around and you'll seem to be able to hear the echoes of Buddhist chants from thousands of years ago.

𝘿𝙖𝙮𝟰: Datong surrounding area
🔸Hanging Temple
It is built on the mountain, with the temple body hanging on the steep cliff. The whole temple seems to be attached to the cliff. From a distance, it looks like a flying bird perching on the rock, which is breathtaking and amazing.
🔸Yingxian Wooden Pagoda
The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is not built with bricks, but with wood. It has been waiting for us in Shuozhou for nearly a thousand years without collapsing.

🗺️【Travel 𝙏𝙞𝙥𝙨】
The journey in Shanxi is long, so you can bring snacks and drinks with you to feel more at ease on the road. You can carry a backpack and put all kinds of small items in it, which is more convenient.
