The top ten places to visit in Shanxi!In the vast land of Sanjin, Shanxi, there are ten places you must visit. They are like bright pearls on the loess plateau, each with its own characteristics, exuding unique charm. First, we are going to visit the Hanging Temple of Hengshan. This building, which was built during the Northern Wei Dynasty, has a history of more than 1500 years and is the most dangerous high-altitude wooden cliff building in the world. It hangs in the air like a painting, hanging on the cliff, which is breathtaking. Next, we are going to Wutai Mountain in Xinzhou. As the first of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, Wutai Mountain not only has monks of dry boats, but also can see the horns of Tibetan boats. It is the intersection of faith and culture, which makes people awe. Then, let's come to Ying County and admire the highest tomb tower building in the world - Ying County Wooden Tower. This building, more than 60 meters high, does not use a nail or rivet, and is built entirely by traditional mortise and tenon technology. It is tilting every year, and it is a precious building that you see less once. Then, we come to the Eight Springs Gorge of Taihang Mountain. This is the essence of the Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon, known as the peak of mountain and water scenery in Shanxi. The canyon is deep, and the mountain spring waterfall flows, which is intoxicating. In addition, we are going to visit Yanmenguan in Xinzhou. The history here can be traced back to the Warring States Period. The stories of Zhaojun going out of the fortress and the Yang family are well-known, and it is known as the first pass in China. Next, let's walk into the Yungang Grottoes in Datong. As one of the four major grottoes in China, the Yungang Grottoes were built during the Northern Wei Dynasty. The statues here blend the essence of traditional Chinese art style, ancient Indian culture and Western Region culture, which is breathtaking. Then, we are going to Linchuan Wangmangling. The forest coverage rate here is over 95%, and the summer temperature remains between 18~20 degrees, which is an ideal place for summer in Shanxi. In addition, we are going to admire the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River. Although the Hukou Waterfall spans Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, the water of the Yellow River here is surging and surging, like a rush from the sky, giving people a strong visual impact. Finally, we are going to Pingyao Ancient City in Jinzhong. This is the only ancient county town in the country that has successfully applied for World Cultural Heritage as a whole ancient city. It is full of the atmosphere of ancient Jin merchants' culture, which makes people feel as if they have traveled through time and space and returned to that prosperous era.Aiden.Roberts@633
The city that shocked me the most so far has appeared.I usually don't use "shocking" to describe a place, but Shanxi is an exception! Those ancient building cornices that can be seen everywhere, those historical relics from the Northern Wei, Liao and Jin Dynasties... Colored sculptures, wood carvings, murals, colored glaze... Of the 36 real-life shooting locations in "Black Myth Wukong", 27 are located in Shanxi. Only when we set foot on this land in person can we truly experience the ultimate beauty of this thousand-year heritage ~ Shanxi currently has many tourists! 🗺️In order to avoid crowds, I chose a different travel route. Remember to save this article when you see it! Day 1-2: Luliang Lijiashan Village-Qikou Ancient Town-Xiwan Village ✅The ancient buildings, cave dwellings, and traces of generations of life on the Loess Plateau... It is recommended to live in Lijiashan Village, which has fewer people and low accommodation costs. It is only a 13-minute drive from Qikou. Day 3-4: Datong Yungang Grottoes-Huayan Temple-Shanhua Ancient Temple-Yongan Temple ✅These buildings perfectly retain the styles of Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and many attractions are open for free! The splendor of the grotto is breathtaking. Yungang Grottoes opens at 9 o'clock, so the first batch to enter can avoid the crowds! Shanhua and Yongan temples have the best light in the afternoon. Day 5-6: Pingyao Ancient City in Jinzhong-Shuanglin Temple-Zhenguo Temple ✅It is said that the ancient city has been preserved to this day because it was "too poor to demolish". It is one of the most complete ancient county towns currently preserved. "The Majia Courtyard in Pingyao is the best place to take pictures! In the morning, go to Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple first."DavidHenderson_511

A Cultural Sanctuary of Buddhist Art TreasuresLocated in Shanxi Province, the Yungang Grottoes is a cultural sanctuary that houses countless treasures of Buddhist art. It preserves the world's largest and most complete collection of Northern Wei period grotto art. From the grand and majestic large grottoes to the exquisitely detailed stone sculptures, every aspect showcases the pinnacle achievements of Northern Wei Buddhist art. Visitors can tour the grottoes, feeling as if they have stepped into a grand and solemn museum of Buddhist art. In addition to the grottoes themselves, the surrounding natural scenery is equally captivating. The steep cliffs, lush forests, and the grotto site complement each other, creating a unique blend of culture and nature. This is undoubtedly a must-visit sanctuary of Buddhist art treasures.Lunarrr
Yungang Grottoes | Read ten thousand scrolls and respect the Northern Wei Dynasty, only to worship Yungang in one's life.The Black Monkey myth filming location is really beautiful and shocking, even if you have seen many famous scenic spots, even if you have done historical and cultural homework in advance, and rented a guide on the spot, the spiritual shock of Yungang Grottoes is still unexpected. It's like experiencing 1600 years ago in a dream, each cave and each niche telling its own unique story. People are so small, like dust in front of the rolling wheels of time. But people are also so great, generations of people create miracles, become the link between future generations, generation after generation, generation after generation. The last time I was so shocked was five years ago in the dazzling Taipei National Palace Museum. How do people feel history? Standing on the ancient and new land, watching the time flow, watching the brilliance. Travel tips: 📍Location: No. 1, Yungang Town, Yungang District, Datong City, Shanxi Province 🚗Self-driving or taxi, about half an hour from the ancient city 🕙Tour time 2-3h, go in before closing 🏡The courtyard and temple built by hand in the first half do not need to stay too long, the grottoes are all behind, the bridge is the main part. After the tour, there is a sightseeing car to the exit, 10r, about 1.5km, choose according to your physical strength 🎁The cultural and creative products are very, very exquisite, refrigerator sticker lovers are ecstatic, the small shops in front can be ignored, there is an official shop on the way to the exit, the price is the same.ADO.

Yungang Grottoes | A 1500-year journey for a dialogue with the millennium-old grottoesVisiting each of China's four major grottoes, I find each has its uniqueness. This time, I finally arrived at the Yungang Grottoes in Datong, and to my surprise, I was deeply impressed. The older I get, the more I enjoy learning about history and ancient relics. - The excavation of the grottoes began around 460-465 AD, and the process lasted for over 70 years. With the changes of the times, the grottoes also slowly underwent new transformations, with Buddha statues being sculpted based on contemporary figures. Initially, the statues were colorless, but later they became more and more exquisite, with a lot of colors added to them. The architectural style of wooden structures from the Northern Wei Dynasty was also extensively used in the grottoes, and extremely rare architectural elements such as 'herringbone arches, one dou and three sheng, herringbone arches, and flying apsaras can all be found here. • The grottoes also showcase the fusion of Eastern and Western art, perfectly reflecting the cultural prosperity of the Silk Road, such as the Cupid-shaped flying apsaras, which are very impressive. - 🌟Photo Spots 1. In front of the classic largest open-air Buddha. 2. Next to the open-air Buddha, there are stairs to climb up for a close-up side view of the Buddha. 3. There is a grotto filled with various small statues, a whole row of which is very shocking, and the carvings are very vivid and detailed. 4. The first grotto is quite spacious and also great for taking photos. Although it lacks color, the morning light shines through the holes and illuminates the interior.DRAKE DAWSON
Regretting coming too late to Yungang Grottoes, a millennium-old cave in Datong, ShanxiThe cold wind slaps the face, but I don't want to leave! The North of the Great Wall in winter is quiet and solemn, Outside the cave, the cold wind is rustling, like a whisper through a thousand years. Inside the cave, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, a beam of light traces back a thousand years of memory. You will definitely be intoxicated in such an artistic conception. Watching the past millennium in winter, I feel respect. 🚶Travel guide: The distance from the ancient city is only 16 kilometers, and it is very convenient to take a bus, taxi or charter. ✅The route of Yungang Grottoes is quite simple. After buying a ticket and walking through the Buddha Avenue, you can choose to take a sightseeing car. It is recommended to take it in winter, as it is too cold to walk. Then I will talk about some features and precautions inside. ✅If you only arrange a half-day itinerary for Yungang Grottoes, it is recommended to go in the afternoon, because the grottoes are west-facing, and the afternoon light will enter the cave through the small window, which is particularly beautiful. ✅It is recommended to hire a guide for the grottoes, especially for those who have not made a strategy. After listening, you will have a sudden realization. ✅Currently, caves 1-20 are open. 16-20 are the Tan Yao Five Caves, where the essence lies. ✅There is a cultural and creative shop in the middle of the grottoes, where you can collect stamps. There is also a Northern Wei tea and food, the window is the grottoes, the atmosphere is too good. ✅If you bring a child, you can also go to the nearby Jinhua Palace National Mine Park to explore the mine.nyras_2335

The Pearl of the North, "Travel to Datong" and enjoy the beauty of Shanxi.Outer doors are not closed, this is called Datong - Datong has a long history. It was formerly known as Pingcheng, Yunzhou, and Yunzhong. During the Warring States Period, King Wuling of Zhao implemented the policy of "wearing Hu-style clothes and shooting on horseback" here. During the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang was trapped in Baideng Mountain and later married the Xiongnu. - In the first year of Tianxing of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Gui moved the capital to Pingcheng, making it the political, military, economic, and cultural center of the north, and also excavated the Yungang Grottoes. - In the 13th year of Chongxi of the Liao Dynasty, Datong was promoted to Xijing Prefecture, becoming the capital of the Liao Dynasty, and important buildings such as Huayan Temple were built. - In the Ming Dynasty, Datong was one of the nine important towns on the border.

I really regret not coming to Yungang Grottoes earlier, the aftereffect is too strong.The first thing I did when I arrived in Datong was to visit the Yungang Grottoes in the west of the city, It's simply spectacular! The caves stretch for about 1 km from east to west, The tallest statue is 17 meters high! Because it was carved during the Northern Wei Dynasty, The style of the statues has changed over time, From Hu style and Hu rhyme to Han style and fusion, Therefore, there are many highlights in the structure of the caves, the costumes and appearance of the statues, etc., There are many double caves and two Buddhas sitting opposite each other, It is indeed a treasure house of Chinese art❗️ - ♾️「Visiting Guide」 The Yungang Grottoes are mainly divided into 3 periods according to the shape of the caves, the style and content of the statues: Early, Middle and Late. ►Early: Caves 16～20 (Dayao Five Caves) ►Middle (Most prosperous): 1, 2, 5～13, and the unfinished Cave 3, this stage can see the changes from Hu style to Han style and Han style to Hu style ►Late: Caves 4, 14, 15 and the caves west of Cave 20 (fewer large caves, more small caves, Han style) - 🔆「Amazing caves that will wow you! Must-see!」 ✔️Cave 3: Although the cave was carved during the Northern Wei Dynasty, there are also statues from the Sui, Tang and Liao Dynasties. The north wall is carved with the "Three Saints of the West", and there is a skylight opposite that shines light on the statue, giving it a sense of destiny! . ✔️Caves 5 and 6: This is a pair of caves. The two walls of the entrance to Cave 5 are carved with the classic style of two Buddhas sitting opposite each other under a Bodhi tree. I even bought a refrigerator magnet with the same design! The north wall is the tallest Buddha statue in Yungang Grottoes, with vibrant colors; Cave 6 is carved with large and small stone carvings, known as "Yungang's First Great Spectacle" . ✔️Caves 7 and 8: The earliest double caves in Yungang, with the "Six Beauties of Yungang" and multi-headed and multi-armed statues. . ✔️Cave 12: The famous Music Cave, the front room is carved with musicians and dancers, the instruments in their hands are lifelike and colorful, which is a feast for the eyes! (Caves 9-12 are commonly known as the Five Flower Caves, all with later mud-painted murals, visually rich) . ✔️Caves 16～20 (Dayao Five Caves): Overall tall and complete, mainly with Three Generations of Buddhas, representing the five emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the statues have Western Region characteristics, high noses and long eyes, tall and strong. Cave 20, the White Buddha Cave, is open-air and the best place to take photos! - 📸「Photography Guide」 Go early, take photos of Cave 20 first, then return to Cave 3, and finally view in order, avoid the main group viewing order, the least people, the best photos～ - 🚗「Transportation Recommendations」 🚌Bus No. 3 can go directly, frequent departures, the road is also very smooth 🚕Taxi, about 17 km from the city center, not too far - 📌Small tips: ✔️It is recommended to choose a scenic electric car before, 15 yuan round trip, save a lot of time and effort, return can be parked at Mimi Main Creative Store, get Black Goku Pass, stamp ✔️Currently no need to book in advance, buy tickets anytime ✔️Watch the official website introduction, documentaries, etc. in advance to increase your knowledge.

It is worthy of being one of the four grottoes. It is too shocking. It is simply a coincidence! The ticket for 100 yuan before coming is too expensive, and it is worth it after coming! Explore Yungang Grottoes, feel the glory of Northern Wei, let the soul settle in the tranquility... Yungang Grottoes are not only a treasure trove of art, but also a witness to history and culture...
Yungang Grottoes must be recommended, one of the four major grottoes in China, very cultural and historical, the Northern Wei Xiaowen Emperor repaired the Buddha statue is very spectacular, after seeing it is very shocking, our ancient wisdom, thousands of Buddha statues carved lifelike.
Very good Yungang Grottoes, with the hot "Black Myth-Wukong", Datong Yungang Grottoes once again boarded one of the popular attractions destinations. Compared with other such as "Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes", Yungang Grottoes are very close to Datong City, eliminating the fatigue of boats and cars. It can be used as a day trip plan in the city. Yungang Grottoes-Huayan Temple-Datong Ancient City, this arrangement is abundant and will not be so hard. As a historical Buddhist cultural relics, the protection of Yungang Grottoes is not bad, you can have the honor to visit and worship up close, and even take pictures and photos.
How can you not go to Yungang Grottoes when you come to Datong? Yungang Grottoes, one of the three major grottoes in China. Just for this name, you must go. When you go to Yungang Grottoes, you must listen to the explanation, don't go around, let alone take pictures and leave. Going to Yungang Grottoes is to see its culture, not to see a Buddha statue. Try not to go on weekends or holidays because there are too many people. If you have to go when there are too many people, don't take a taxi because there will be traffic jams. You can take the 3 bus, the bus will not be so blocked. Although the tickets are a bit expensive, it is worth seeing. In summer, you must bring good sun protection, and the sun in Datong is too good. What I especially like is that the rest chairs in the whole scenic area can be seen everywhere, and there are many swing chairs, sitting on them, shaking, blowing the wind, it feels too comfortable.
I saw it on May 2, although there are many people and cars traveling during the May Day holiday, and every time I see a grotto, I have to queue up, but the first time I see the grotto is still very shocking and excited. Listening to the rambling of the explainer, it seems to be back to the Northern Wei Dynasty of more than 1,600 [cost-effective] years ago.
Really like everyone said, the peak season is either early or late, otherwise there will be a lot of people. It's quite big inside, the scenic battery car is bound to sell, otherwise I guess everyone will only buy the return trip, the outbound journey is really not worth it, and I will miss Lingyan Temple. There are few people going late, but there is no time to play, so this is what has to be lost, right?
Large scale, majestic atmosphere, the most distinctive music cave, the five caves have a high artistic level, and cultural treasures
