Have you been to Taiyuan Ancient County Town?

Taiyuan Ancient County Town is located in Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province. It is an ancient city built in the eighth year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty (1375), with a history of over 600 years. It follows the architectural layout of Jinyang Ancient City, known as "the city with a phoenix flying pattern," and is nicknamed the "Phoenix City" because its shape resembles a phoenix with its head to the north and tail to the south. The city contains many historical architectural relics, with a clear cross-street layout. Major attractions include the Confucian Temple (a nationally protected key cultural relic), the county government office, the Guan Di Temple, the City God Temple, as well as the film base for the movie "Man Jiang Hong" (ticket required for entry) and the scenic Jinniu Lake Park. Here, you can not only experience profound historical culture but also enjoy intangible cultural heritage creative products and taste Shanxi specialty snacks such as Tounao Soup and Guo You Rou. Additionally, there is a very distinctive vinegar garden.
