Long ago, Jixian was actually called "Zhaoyu", the tea house ticket number founded by Jin merchants, and still tells the story of Wanli Tea House silently in the ancient city of Zhaoyu. In the eyes of Wu Dianqian, director of the Yuanqi County Zhi Office at 71, Jixian County is the hometown of Jin merchants.
It is the only five-star compound in Shanxi. Although the scale is not large, the reputation is far inferior to Qiao's compound and Wang's compound, but it is true. It is all the architectural style of the Ming and Qing eras, and it can also restore that era. You can not go to Qiao's house and Wang's compound when you come to Shanxi ~, but Qu's compound must go. Parking is convenient ~ The parking lot is next to the entrance of the ancient city. Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are free. I went in early August. Basically, five or six people visited. It just happens to be able to watch it carefully and slowly.
The ancient city feels a bit broken. Many houses outside mark the "Qing Dynasty houses", but they have not been completely repaired. The old street is also a bit lonely. The tourists are estimated to be attracted by the "Qiao's compound", but I feel that the Qu's compound is well protected.
Zhaoyu Ancient City Tea Business Culture Tourism Area includes Lushan Ancient City, Jinshang Old Street, Jinshang Culture Museum (Qujia Courtyard) in Jixian County, Changyuchuan Tea House Wanli Tea Ceremony Museum and other attractions. Yuxian is the hometown of Jinshang, the center of Wanli Tea Road, tea merchants, retaining the original Mingfeng and Qingyun, like a dazzling pearl embedded in the land of Sanjin.
Although the ancient city is not too big, but the architectural style is very distinctive. Here, Jin merchants rushed home with tea, and they were exported to Russia. It is worth going to a place.
