爱母喵喵Tianhe Mountain Surprisingly nice, with mountains and water, and more than just romance. Because we arrived quite late, there were very few people, which made it easy to take photos. The hike along the wading route was quite interesting; it would definitely be fun in the summer. We didn't go to the summit; we had to come back early so as not to keep the shuttle bus staff waiting too long.

Anonymous userThe mountain is steep, but the climb isn't too strenuous. The 20,000 steps from the top to the North Peak are definitely worth seeing. Words can't fully describe it. Whether you're on a budget, a luxurious trip, or a leisurely adventure, this is a must-see. This unofficial 5A-level scenic spot is worth visiting to experience the wonders of nature. P.S.: The common problem in tourism remains: a one-off deal. This is something that deserves serious consideration and urgent resolution.

_We***98Because it had just snowed, there were very few people, making the viewing experience absolutely fantastic! 👍🏻 The looping light and shadow effects created an incredibly immersive and realistic experience! The opening animation of the game right at the entrance was truly breathtaking! The digital Pigsy guides you through the ancient architecture, and the Chaoyuan Map is interactive, instantly bringing famous murals to life and introducing you to many Taoist deities – a real educational experience! I also got to try out the Black Myth game on-site, which was a lot of fun – highly recommended!
4.8/5Anonymous userAside from the rainy day, everything else was great. The only thing was that we came across the Jinci Temple, a place covered in a high school or middle school textbook, and we thought it was worth visiting. The temple itself is very rich in content, and there are other attractions nearby, but because it was raining, we could only visit a few of those places.
4.7/5Anonymous userTaiyuan Botanical Garden is a landmark building in Taiyuan. I went there and it was really beautiful! We went during the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was especially beautiful. All kinds of animals and plants were incredibly gorgeous. There's also the famous giant elevator, which is very attractive and great for taking photos. It was absolutely fantastic!
4.6/5Anonymous userZhangbi Ancient Castle, a national key cultural relics protection unit in Jiexiu City, Shanxi Province, is famous for its military defense system and astronomical culture. Below is a travel guide. Must-See Highlights: Underground Tunnels: A three-layered structure (upper level for sentry duty, middle level for troop deployment, lower level for food storage). 1500 meters of the tunnels are currently open to the public, containing ancient military facilities such as horse kilns, command kilns, and communication tubes. Wearing non-slip shoes is recommended. Glazed Glass Art: The peacock blue glazed glass stele (Ming Dynasty tricolor glazed glass decoration) at the Kongwang Buddha Temple is one of only two remaining in the country. The Erlang Temple Glazed Glass Exhibition Hall displays glazed glass statues of the twelve zodiac animals and the twenty-eight constellations. Locust Tree Embracing Willow: A thousand-year-old locust tree with a hollowed-out willow branch symbolizes vitality and is a landmark of the castle. Astrological Layout: The castle is designed according to the twenty-eight constellations. The north gate corresponds to "Bi" (壁) constellation, and the south gate corresponds to "Zhang" (张) constellation. Climbing the city wall offers a panoramic view of the "Star Village".

不帅不酷又矮没钱的大叔Speaking of the Twin Pagodas in Taiyuan, what impressed me most was the weather forecast that aired after the evening news program. When the weather forecast for Taiyuan was shown, a picture of the Twin Pagodas appeared, haha! This time I was going to see them in person, but unfortunately I arrived too late. The Twin Pagodas are inside a temple, which closes in the evening, so I couldn't go inside and could only see them from the outside, which was a real pity!

M51***33The scenic area has a complete vinegar brewing process. The tour guide explains in detail. You can taste five or eight years old vinegar, buy vinegar and vinegar products, and the vinegar ice cream is delicious.
