Want to visit the whole of Taiyuan in one day? The most time-sensitive one-day tour in Taiyuan

At the end of July 2021, I was originally going to Xi'an, but Zhengzhou was impassable due to heavy rain, so I chose to go to Taiyuan, Shanxi first and then transfer from Taiyuan to Xi'an. Since I arrived at night, I decided to stay in Taiyuan for a day and take the train to Xi'an the next night.
Since it was a free trip and there was no πŸš—, I used public transportation throughout the journey, that is, I took 🚌. There are 🚌 direct access to scenic spots around Taiyuan City, so there is no need to worry about not being able to get there. Although it is tiring 😟, πŸ’° is saved.
I set off at almost nine in the morning and went to Jin Temple. Jin Temple, formerly known as Jinwang Temple, was originally named Tang Shuyu Temple. It was built to worship Tang Shuyu, the founding lord of Jin State in the Zhou Dynasty, and his mother Yi Jiang. It is the earliest existing royal sacrificial garden in China. It only takes about two to three hours to play. There are countless pavilions and temples inside, which are very classical. There are tour guides at the door to attract customers. Friends who want to listen to the explanation can ask a tour guide to feel the charm of this classical garden.
After that, we went to the Mengshan Giant Buddha. We need to take a tour bus to the middle of the mountain from the entrance of the scenic area, and then walk for 40 to 50 minutes, and then climb a flight of stairs to see the Giant Buddha. The Mengshan Giant Buddha was built during the Tianbao period of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and has a history of about 1,500 years. It is the largest cliff Buddha and Buddhist pavilion in the Northern Dynasties of China. It is also the largest giant cliff stone statue of Sakyamuni Buddha with an exact date, the earliest excavation time, and the largest body in the world.
I didn't expect that there was still time to visit the Giant Buddha. Then I went to the Shanxi Provincial Museum to see the cultural relics. There were too many people taking pictures of the treasure of the museum, the Jinhou Bird Zun, so I could only watch from a distance and not play close. After the tour, I went to the China Coal Museum to see coal, yes, coal, and experience the life of miners.
In the evening, there was still some time before the train, so I went to Yingze Park. In summer, many citizens will go to Yingze for a walk, which is very lively.
Finally, πŸŒƒ took the train to Xi'an.
