This stay at the Clouds Hotel truly exceeded our expectations!
First, the service was incredibly warm and attentive, from check-in to check-out.
The cleanliness was impeccable; the room was spotlessly clean, and the bed was comfortable, ensuring a wonderful night's sleep.
The biggest surprise was the hotel's "Mount Tai" climbing guide, which provided detailed information on routes, transportation, and nearby restaurants. It was like a "personal guide," saving us the time of planning our trip.
The room was very quiet, completely undisturbed by the outside world, and I had a wonderful night's rest.
It's definitely worth the challenge, provided you avoid taking the car or cable car up or down.
The mountain scenery is truly beautiful, and the stone carvings, including many works of calligraphy by literati and scholars, are truly magnificent.

The scenic area is shaded by green trees, with pine and bamboo groves and numerous springs, which fully reflects the characteristics of Jinan, the City of Springs. It is very popular and has a strong cultural atmosphere. There are relics of famous literati such as Li Qingzhao, an exhibition of the anti-Japanese deeds of the people of Jinan in those days, and various cultural and creative products. It is worth a visit!
There are many springs in Baotu Spring. Jinan is worthy of being called the City of Springs. The center of the main spring is constantly rolling like boiling water. Other small springs will bubble up from the bottom of the spring when you shout loudly. Nature is really amazing.

It's like walking back to Bianjing in a second! The live performances are stunning, and the NPC interactions are fun. It's truly like walking in the painting. It was a truly worthwhile experience!
It's great, it feels like traveling through time and space. It is recommended to put on makeup and take photos of the clothes for a better experience. There are many performances in the scenic area at every time period, and there are interactive games around at any time. It is impossible to play from morning to night in one day, so the scenic area is very humane. The ticket is valid for only 3 days, so you can have fun. 👍

The scenic area's shuttle service was average, but the fare was cheap. There was nowhere to put the stroller on the bus, and the staff just watched and refused to help. The service was lacking.
The guide we hired was quite good at explaining the tour.
I stayed in Taiyuan for 2 nights. It's a bit further from the city center than the Jin Temple. Although it was off-season, there were still a lot of people. I listened to the official audio guide briefly and followed the instructions to walk around. It took about 2-3 hours. It's still worth the trip. There is a museum inside and a large park outside. Many local elderly people come here for a walk.

There are many attractions in the city, so it's best to set aside a full day to visit. Xietongqing, the Confucian Temple, and the Pingyao County Yamen are all worth visiting. The county yamen has a court performance, so you can go there in advance to wait for it to start. There are many places to eat in the ancient city. I recommend Tianyuankui. The food is very good, the service is great, and the price is quite affordable with the coupon.
The Pingyao City Wall is located in Pingyao County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province. It was first built during the reign of King Xuan of the Western Zhou Dynasty (827-728 BC) and covers an area of approximately 85,690 square meters. The western and northern sides of the wall were built by the Western Zhou general Yin Jifu when he stationed troops here during his northern expedition against the Xianyun. It is a national cultural relic protection unit.

I didn't get a boarding ticket, so I can only look at it below. In addition, to protect the ancient buildings, lighters are not allowed during security checks, which is understandable. However, my family's non-disposable lighters are worth thousands of dollars. The security officer said they would confiscate them, which shocked us all. When we asked her if she was sure, she said in a very cold tone, "Then you should hand them in to the service center." There were no signs from the ticket office to the security checkpoint. The broadcast reminded us of the lighter issue, and they didn't tell us until we were in the queue. As a result, we had to go out and hand them in to the tourist service center and then queue up for security again. It was a very bad experience.
In 1933, after a difficult inspection of the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, Liang Sicheng hailed it as a marvel of wooden architecture. Its "five visible and four concealed" design, with beams connecting the inner and outer tubes, created an extremely rigid framework that has enabled the pagoda to stand stably for millennia.

The Hanging Temple is located on the cliffs of Cuiping Peak, west of Jinlong Gorge on Hengshan Mountain, south of Hunyuan City in Shanxi Province. Built in the 15th year of the Taihe reign of the Northern Wei Dynasty (491 AD), it is the only remaining temple in China that combines Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. Because of its steepness, the number of people who can reach the summit is limited each day, making it difficult to buy tickets. While the Ctrip VIP membership is a bit more expensive, firstly, you get a ticket and secondly, you don't have to wait in lines, which start at two hours, saving time. Very good.
It's worth it, saving me a few hours of queuing. Even if I was willing to queue, I couldn't get a ticket, but I was satisfied with spending a little more money. The explanation lady is very beautiful!

What time can I redeem my silver bills for refrigerator magnets? I arrived at Hanyuan Pier at 3:20, and the security guard said the staff weren't at work yet. I went out for lunch and arrived just after 5:00, and they said they were off duty. I'm going to file a real-name complaint for being late and leaving early... It was still a lot of fun. The forging fire was indeed beautiful, and the complimentary Hanyuan and Eiffel Tower are also worth seeing.
Wansuishan Great Song Dynasty Martial Arts City is definitely worth a visit! After dinner in the afternoon, you can watch Wang Po's Matchmaking show, and then schedule an appointment to see the iron flower show. The next morning, you can return to the park for breakfast, watch and participate in various small performances, and then at 11 a.m., watch the large-scale live performance "Three Strikes on Zhujiazhuang." The 80 yuan ticket gives you unlimited entry to the park for three days, which is quite attractive!

Henan's attractions won't disappoint! Every theater is refreshing, both in content and performance. Don't worry about your children getting lost in the action. They might not fully grasp the content, but the performances will definitely captivate them, so both adults and children will find something they enjoy!
I went in at 10am and watched 3 main plays (two were enough for me to go in), 8 small theaters and 2 outdoor ones. I came out at almost 10pm and only bought 2 bottles of water in between. Needless to say, it was the best this year.

On the last day in Mount Wutai, our tour guide Xiao Zhao took us to visit the temples in the central scenic area and told us many interesting stories, which brought our trip to Shanxi to a perfect end.
If you have faith, go to Mount Wutai. If you like taking photos, go to Mount Wutai. If you hike, you must climb to the Big Snail Peak. Climb the 1,008 steps to see all the other mountains. The mountain is in the clouds, the temple is in the mountain, and you are in the temple.
