A Two-Day Tour in Taiyuan!!!
Taiyuan in Shanxi is a seriously underrated treasure of a tourist city, and I highly recommend eight essential tourist attractions. Shanxi Museum: (Highlight) Free, online reservation required. For terrestrial relics, look to Shanxi; Shanxi Museum has a rich collection, and it is recommended to see the Jin State Hegemony and the Buddhist Charm. The museum's treasure is the Marquis of Jin's bird zun. The first floor has a cultural and creative shop, and those who like to collect stamps should remember to bring a notebook.
China Coal Museum: The ticket is 60 yuan. After visiting the Shanxi Museum, take the opportunity to tour the Coal Museum, where you can experience a mine and feel the development history of the coal province.
Chunyang Palace: The ticket is 30 yuan. It was built at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. It is a Taoist temple for worshipping Lu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals, hence the name Chunyang Palace. Inside, there are two cultural relics forbidden to leave the country: one is the Nirvana Transformation Stele from the time of Empress Wu Zetian, and the other is the Tang Dynasty 'Changyang Tianzun Statue'.
Shanxi Businessmen Museum: Free, it has been the highest administrative organ in Shanxi since the Ming Dynasty, and it was the location of the provincial government until 2021. You can learn about the development history of Shanxi merchants. (Close to the food street)
Food Street Zhonglou Street: (Highlight) In Food Street, you can taste snacks from all over the country. Zhonglou Street forms a T-shape with Food Street and is one of the busiest streets in Taiyuan. There are many time-honored brands, such as Xueshan Cold Drinks, Liuweizhai, Renyili, Qingheyuan, Mouse Hole Yuanxiao, God's Fried Chicken, etc., especially in the evening when the lights are on, the colors are dazzling, the tourists are like weaving, and it is extraordinarily lively. It is a must-visit pedestrian street for tourists to Taiyuan.
Jinci: (Highlight) The ticket is 80 yuan, and it is far from the city center, but there is a direct bus 856. Jinci is the only existing imperial ancestral temple, with Nanlao Spring, Maid Statue, and Zhou Cypress known as the 'Three Wonders of Jinci'. There are halls and pavilions from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, various ancient buildings, Song Dynasty clay sculptures, and eight-pillar coiled dragons.
Taiyuan Ancient County Town: Free, it is recommended to enter from the east gate, where the filming location of the movie 'Man Jiang Hong' is located, instantly transporting you to ancient Jinyang. It is a perfect place for national style photography.
Taiyuan Botanical Garden: It has been recently built, covering a very large area, combining pristine ecology with technology. It is recommended to check out the popular elevator and the tropical rainforest pavilion. The entire botanical garden is very suitable for photography. Very photogenic.
If you have time, you can visit the Twin Pagoda Temple, which is a symbolic building of Taiyuan, standing for 400 years without falling.
Guo is very dedicated, the whole process is still in the middle of us to drink water, the service is very good, mainly to explain the sound and emotional, there is a sense of affection, such an explanation is very substituting, will not feel boring, will not be the kind of blunt explanation of the manuscript. Shanxi Museum, there are really many good things, and if no one explains it, I really don't understand it. The tour guide told us through the history string, the cultural relics are dead, and only the historical relics are more valuable. The Bronze Museum is also very good. Shanxi Museum, really can rank the top of the national ranking.
Teacher Jia said it was really good, many details were also in place, and it was full of spirit and logic. Many exhibits could extend some new classics. It was full of talk for a morning, and the meaning was still not enough.
Before going to the museum, there were group groups. The explanation was focused on adults. This time, the group was specially packaged and a guide was arranged to explain the school. I learned the grade and age of the child in advance. It was really unexpected. Teacher Xiaohong said very well, the materials are fully prepared, and the time arrangement is reasonable. The 2 8-year-old baby listened very seriously and learned a lot of knowledge. I unconsciously took a vivid history lesson in questions and answers, and I was particularly satisfied.
Teacher Wang said very well! Contact before departure is also very patient. During the Chinese New Year, there are a lot of people and we take the time to grab all kinds of advantageous terrain. I originally changed the train and didn’t listen enough. I didn’t listen enough. Teacher Wang’s knowledge reserve is very rich and integrated. The special wind speed people are also handsome hahaha Shanxi Museum is really big, it is definitely worth spending a day to stroll around
The first stop to Shanxi, of course, came to Shanxi Museum. The teacher Wang Huiyan is knowledgeable, witty and easy to understand. Starting from the museum's octagonal tower shape, the detailed introduction of the cradle of civilization, Xia Shang culture, the historical evolution of Jinguo, the cultural relics of the Northern Wei period, the treasure of the town hall is amazing! Today's museum trip is so satisfying!
The Shanxi Museum is indeed a great museum in Shanxi. The tour guide introduced the deep history of Shanxi for more than 5,000 years in detail! There are also various buildings in Shanxi on the fourth floor, and there are cultural and creative products on the first floor to buy!
