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!

Climbing to a high vantage point offers panoramic views, and hiking is a delightful experience. It's good for your health and brings immense joy. The only regret is that on the way down, we passed by the former residence of Yu Chenglong in Fangshan County, only to realize it was near Beiwudang Mountain…

A cultural relic protection unit of considerable weight, the colored sculptures are very exquisite, the expressions of the characters are vivid, especially the eyes are vivid. The original 28 star-shaped colored sculptures of the Ming Dynasty in the temple have now been put into the Shanxi Museum, which seems to be in the Tumu Huazhang Exhibition Hall on the top floor (may be slightly wrong). Don't miss it when you go to the Shanxi Museum. The little eyes, the big double eyelids, and the whispering expressions are beyond words. Taifu Temple is currently free, but you must check the opening hours in the second picture. The uncle will come to open the door on time with the key. The early bird does not necessarily catch the worm.

What makes it special is that it's rare to find a temple that worships all three emperors together. The stage inside has a glass panel, hence its name, the "Glass Stage." However, the ticket price is quite expensive, making it not very cost-effective.
