Taking parents to the Mizhi Thousand Buddha Caves is a great choice. Here, the caves are carved into the mountainside, and among them, thousand-year-old Buddha statues stand quietly, conveying a profound sense of history. Parents, many of whom have a special affinity for traditional culture, will be captivated by the intricacy and majesty of the Northern Song Dynasty stone carvings. The caves are cool and tranquil, and the walk is gentle, making them easy on the elderly. Standing by the Wuding River, the view of the mountains, water, and caves complement each other, creating a profound and captivating scene. This blend of human and natural beauty will immerse parents in the scenery, perfect for taking photos or simply strolling. The overall experience is relaxing and insightful, allowing families to escape the hustle and bustle while enjoying a warm and culturally enriched time together. For families who value experiencing traditional culture, this is a worthwhile trip.

Definitely worth seeing! With over thirty actors, every movement and every line was incredibly professional and dedicated – not at all perfunctory! A fantastic live performance! The stage is movable, and the scenery and stage design were meticulously crafted! Thumbs up! 👍 Everything was very well-conceived, and the content was incredibly rich! I learned so much more about the history of Qikou!

Breathtaking view, amazing hike to the top, unreal experience and genuine atmosphere. Highly recommend

Love it.Tons of information about bronze wares and about Shanxi merchant guild.

The scenic area is divided into two main parts: Xuanyuan Temple at the foot of the mountain (the sacrificial temple area) and Qiaoshan Cemetery at the top of the mountain (the tomb area). These two parts should be visited together. Suggested route: Xuanyuan Square → Xuanyuan Bridge → Xuanyuan Temple → Sightseeing bus up the mountain → Sacred Way → Tomb → Hanwu Terrace → Return down the mountain.

A visit to the Northern Qi Mural Museum truly allows one to experience the meaning of "a glimpse of a thousand years." The exhibition centers on the original tomb murals, depicting scenes of chariots and processions, banquets, and folk dances, all rendered with lifelike figures and exquisite details, revealing the unique romance and grandeur of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The minimalist, flowing lines and the fusion of Chinese and Western clothing patterns fill a gap in the history of Northern Dynasties art. The tranquil and dimly lit exhibition hall allows the colors of a thousand years to flow silently, making it a top-tier art treasure that Shanxi should not miss.

The Big Locust Tree Scenic Area truly lives up to its 5A-level rating. It boasts a rich cultural atmosphere, beautiful environment, and excellent service. From ancestral worship and folk custom experiences to live performances, everything is captivating. A must-visit in Hongtong, it's definitely worth your trip!

The tomb of Fusu, the crown prince of Qin, is located on Shushu Mountain in the county seat. In the 35th year of Emperor Qin Shihuang (212 BC), Fusu, the eldest son of Qin, was demoted to Shangjun. After being killed in 210 BC, he was buried on the top of Shushu Mountain. The mound of the tomb is an irregular rectangular shape, 30 meters long, 6 meters wide and 8 meters high, and the tomb area covers an area of ​​6,500 square meters. There is a poem that says: The mountain is majestic and connected to the blue sky, and Fusu's tomb is on the dangerous top; until now, the resentment has been lingering day and night, turning into a wisp of smoke.

From a historical perspective, both Yangjialing and Zaoyuan were important locations for the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) during the Yan'an period, carrying profound historical memories. However, they differ in details. Yangjialing is renowned as the cradle of revolutionary spirit and a witness to many important historical events; while Zaoyuan is known for its garden-like environment and its status as an important base for national revolutionary tradition education. Furthermore, Yangjialing and Zaoyuan differed in the location of their administrative offices and the revolutionary tasks they undertook. Yangjialing was the former site of all the CPC Central Committee's administrative offices, undertaking the important tasks of commanding the anti-Japanese war and the War of Liberation behind enemy lines, leading the Great Production Movement and the Rectification Movement; while Zaoyuan was the former site where the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee moved from Yangjialing, primarily undertaking tasks such as leading the entire Party in the Rectification Movement and the Great Production Movement in the liberated areas, and preparing for the Seventh National Congress of the CPC.
