Shanxi

Taiyuan. "It's snowing, what about your place?" When it snows in Shanxi, it becomes so beautiful! With just 2 yuan, you can enjoy the snow view of ancient buildings in Taiyuan. The first snowfall of 2023 came earlier than previous years, Taiyuan's autumn may seem a bit monotonous, but Taiyuan becomes so charming after the snow. The ancient buildings of Shanxi are what I, as a Shanxi person, am most proud of, and they are also a must-visit place for those who travel to Shanxi. I found a bus route that passes through my favorite cultural relics and ancient buildings, allowing you to easily enjoy the historical charm of this "Dragon City". Take bus 856 or 804, from Jinci New Town to the train station, the fare is only 2.5 yuan. Along the way, you will pass Jinci Park, Huata Village (Paddy Field Park), Nan Street (Taiyuan Ancient County City), Xizhai North Street West Exit (Jinyang Lake Park) and Construction South Road Shuangta Temple Street Exit. In Jinci Park, you can enjoy the snow view of the Holy Mother Hall, which is even more desolate, as if you have entered the hearts of Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin. The mottled reflection of the tree shadow is really beautiful, and there are also fish marsh flying beams and three thousand-year-old cypress trees that have different views in winter. On Mount Tai, you can overlook Taiyuan, and the snow view of Mount Tai has a different flavor. Let's climb to the top of Mount Tai together to watch a winter snow scene and feel the romantic atmosphere. In Paddy Field Park, this is a good place for walking babies, with a wide range of play projects, suitable for leisurely strolling. In Taiyuan Ancient County City, you can cross the road of a thousand years, watch the snow view of the ancient city on the city wall, and then go to see the shooting site of Zhang Yimou's film "Man Jiang Hong", and feel the charm of that moving poem. At Jinyang Lake, the surface of Jinyang Lake in winter is covered with a thick layer of ice, and the reflection of the sunset and the lake is super beautiful when photographed at sunset. It is a good choice to stroll or ride a bike here. In Chunyang Palace, this is a niche attraction, the scenic area is not big but quite distinctive. It's next to the city center May 1st Square, and the atmosphere comes as soon as it snows! There are not many tourists, and it's good for taking pictures. In May 1st Square, this is the city center of old Taiyuan. Standing on the central axis of the newly renovated Shouyi Gate, you can see the bustling traffic on Yingze Street, which is also a microcosm of Taiyuan's historical culture. Finally, come to Shuangta Temple, the two Ming Dynasty Lingfeng Twin Towers standing in the temple are even more magnificent, solemn and solemn in the snow. Climbing the twin towers and watching the architecture is also a great pleasure. If you have the chance to come to Taiyuan, be sure to take the time to slow down and truly feel the charm of this city. If it happens to snow, it must be the most romantic thing.
