How can you truly appreciate the awe-inspiring experience without seeing it for yourself?
The Vairocana Buddha's compassionate brows droop, its fingertips seeming to touch a thousand years of history; stepping into the Guyang Cave, the mottled patterns on the cliff carvings tell the story of the glorious Tang Dynasty.
Extremely overwhelming. Should spend a day there. The sculpture was magnificent and the viewpoint was absolutely amazing

I went with my mom. She had wanted to visit Mount Hua for a long time, and since I had the time this year, I went with her. The scenery was beautiful, and the weather was great that day. It was definitely worth the trip.
I went with my mom. Because we were in a hurry, we only bought cable car tickets. Mount Hua truly lives up to its reputation as the foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains. It was incredibly majestic and magnificent, and a very good trip.

Jinci Museum is located at the foot of Xuanweng Mountain, 25 kilometers southwest of Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, at the source of the Jin River. It is a national key cultural relics protection unit and a national 4A-level tourist attraction. Jinci is world-renowned for its ancient architecture, sculptures, famous springs, and ancient trees. The temple grounds are beautiful, with magnificent buildings and numerous halls, pavilions, towers, terraces, bridges, and waterside pavilions dotting the landscape. The ancient trees are lush and the scenery is picturesque.
I've been to Taiyuan many times, but this was my first time visiting Jinci Temple. I arrived just in time to see the ginkgo leaves turn yellow, it was especially beautiful. The architecture of Jinci Temple is also very distinctive; it was definitely worth the trip.

I must say, Kaifeng really knows how to have fun. The Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden could easily keep you entertained for three days. It left a very deep impression; the trash cans were constantly being emptied, and you couldn't see a single cigarette butt. There was always toilet paper in the restrooms. This level of scenic area management deserves full marks.
It's pretty good. One ticket allows you to play for three days. If you get tired during the day, you can go to the hotel to rest. I recommend visiting here. When booking a hotel, book one near one of the entrances to the scenic area for easy rest.

The waterfall is magnificent, with the surging Yellow River displaying the power of a thousand horses. In the Dragon Cave, you can even capture the breathtaking scene of the golden river cascading down, making it an excellent tourist destination.

I forgot to collect my beer, and the ticket discounts weren't great, they just gave me an extra bottle of beer. It happened to be Saturday, so there were a lot of students on a field trip, and the cable car was incredibly crowded; it took over an hour to get on the Yunjing Cableway. The Golden Summit was beautiful.
The main attractions of Laojun Mountain Scenic Area include: Laozi Cultural Garden, She Shen Cliff, and Shili Huaping. [42][18][33] It has been rated as a World Geopark, a National AAAAA-level Tourist Attraction, and a National Nature Reserve. It is also a popular filming location for contemporary fantasy films and television dramas, such as "The Legend of Chusen". [3] In 2014, the Laozi bronze statue in Laojun Mountain was included in the Guinness World Records as "The World's Tallest Laozi Bronze Statue". [66][4]

The tour guide picked us up from the hotel early, and the route was well-planned. After the shuttle bus took us to our destination, the guide would arrive at the exit early according to his schedule, ensuring no time was wasted. We visited most of the major attractions, and the guide provided detailed explanations. He was patient and the tour was great value for money.
Pingyao Ancient City is a well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty city, renowned for its profound historical heritage and unique architectural style. Strolling along the 6-kilometer-long ancient city wall offers panoramic views of the city and allows one to experience six centuries of historical vicissitudes. Rishengchang Exchange House, China's first exchange house, showcases details of the Shanxi merchants' financial legend, such as its wooden counters, underground vaults, and unique draft coded system. The daily "Ming and Qing Dynasty Court Hearings" performance at the Pingyao County Government Office vividly recreates the daily scenes of an ancient county government.
The streets and alleys within the ancient city are full of life. South Street is home to many century-old shops, such as Guanyun Beef and Jinshenglu Food Shop, offering authentic Pingyao delicacies like beef, bowl-shaped noodles, and oil tea. West Street and Chenghuangmiao Street are more tranquil, perfect for leisurely exploration of the exchange house architecture and intangible cultural heritage handicrafts. At night, Pingyao Ancient City is illuminated by warm yellow lanterns, creating a rich Ming and Qing dynasty atmosphere.

Three days for 100 yuan is a great deal! No pressure, lots of interactive NPCs, perfect for relaxing or bringing kids. The price is really unbeatable; we had a fantastic time and will definitely come again.
I've been here a few times before, and it's getting better and better! I got an annual pass, and it was worth it! Now there are dedicated free parking lots, and there's also a free shuttle bus to the scenic area, which is very convenient and hassle-free! There are performances everywhere in the scenic area, and many NPCs to interact with, making it very lively! You can also earn silver coins, which can be exchanged for items.

The best time to go is in the morning, when the light is best. If you go in the afternoon, the weather needs to be good enough. Inside the magnificent main hall, which uses 14 kilograms of gold, I spent over an hour looking up repeatedly. My neck pain is almost cured! Aside from the main hall, the rest of the hall isn't particularly impressive. A slight drawback is that the security guards kept reminding everyone to leave quickly, which is understandable given the sheer number of people. I imagine there will be fewer people in winter when it's cold, allowing for a quieter contemplation and communion with the thousand Buddhas across time. Once you're there, you'll know it was worth the trip; it's truly breathtaking. Absolutely breathtaking. Absolutely breathtaking.
It was incredibly impressive and awe-inspiring. Experiencing 600 years of history, interacting with the ancients, and having a unique experience is truly remarkable. It's definitely worth bringing children to see. It's very crowded, but it's absolutely worth the visit!

Hukou Waterfall is not only a natural landscape, but also a landmark that carries the deep Yellow River culture and national emotions. It is a tourist attraction that should not be missed when visiting Shanxi or Shaanxi. The best viewing period is 4-5 month (peach blossom) and 9-11 month (high autumn) each year, when the water volume and weather are more suitable.
It's still worth visiting. I went to Hukou Waterfall while I was in northern Shaanxi. The visitor center is a bit far from Hukou Waterfall, so you need to take a shuttle bus, otherwise it's difficult to get into the scenic area... The waterfall is quite spectacular.
