On the last day of Shanxi, it is said that it is usually free and only charged for the New Year. It's quite big, it's worth visiting. We went there for the New Year, so all kinds of lanterns, very New Year's atmosphere, the children are the happiest to play, stamp the card, it's a pleasure.
I still like this antique, even if it is commercialized, it is also a long history and worth seeing. Inside the Qinghe River, the river map must go, on the east gate Guanlan Gate, that is, the door of Manjianghong.
After visiting the Jinci Museum, I searched and found the ancient county town of Taiyuan not far away. It is said that the city wall is old, and the entire ancient city built on the old city wall. It is recommended to come in the afternoon, visit the ancient city, taste snacks, and climb the city wall to watch the sunset in the evening. It is still beautiful. The ancient city will light up at night, and there will be a light show. Have time to see it?
The newly built ancient town on the outskirts of Taiyuan City in recent years has a great city wall. The towers and buildings in the city can be transported to the west. The pavilions and buildings in the city are very distinctive. The night view is more colorful. The inns in the city are very distinctive and the dining is also very local. In short, it is a recommended attraction.

‼️ Ctrip! Buy tickets! Very angry, there is no student ticket! Other platforms have it! The dividing lineTaiyuan, which went to the end of December, was very unlucky. When I met Taiyuan's coldest time ~ minus 15 ℃ - minus 18 ℃ The weather shocked me, a southerner who has lived in Guangdong for 20 years. I stayed outdoors for half an hour and couldn't do it. The scenery of Taiyuan Ancient County: At the end of December, it should be the off-season for tourism. There are really few people. Many snow on the city wall have not been eliminated. As the location of "Manjianghong", the man-made attractions that have been complained and criticized are the most. Now it is built. After hundreds of years, is it not an old building? Hahaha
I haven’t returned to my hometown for several years. My classmates recommended to go to Taiyuan Ancient County, there is an ancient city, and there are flower lights. I went to Jinci in the morning and went to the county at noon. I started to feel that 58 people were just like it. I played until the evening. The lights were on. It was really much better. Instead, I was in the south for many years and saw the flower lights again. It feels pretty. Children and the elderly are free of charge, which is also very good. There are many places to punch in and stamp, which is very fun.
