4-Day Babysitter-Level Travel Guide for Xinzhou and Surrounding Areas – You’ll Regret Not Reading This

Hey guys! The 4-day travel guide for Xinzhou and nearby areas is here! Want to enjoy authentic Shanxi noodles all in one go? The knife-cut noodles are chewy, the millet jelly is soft and glutinous, the liangfen (cold jelly noodles) are smooth, plus Pingyao beef and Yellow River big carp—every bite is super satisfying! Grab this treasure of a guide and start your food journey~ -------- 🚗 Itinerary: * DAY 1: Yanmen Pass -> Yungang Grottoes -> Datong Ancient City Explore the mighty Yanmen Pass, appreciate the artistic charm of the Yungang Grottoes, and stroll through Datong Ancient City to feel the historical atmosphere. * DAY 2: Hanging Temple -> Mount Wutai -> Shuxiang Temple Climb the thrilling Hanging Temple, make a pilgrimage to the Buddhist sacred site Mount Wutai, and experience tranquility and peace at Shuxiang Temple. * DAY 3: Wuye Temple -> Jin Ci Museum -> Qiao Family Courtyard Pray for blessings at Wuye Temple, admire ancient architecture at Jin Ci Museum, and experience Shanxi merchant culture at Qiao Family Courtyard. * DAY 4: Pingyao Ancient City -> Pingyao Ancient City Wall -> Shuanglin Temple -> Zhenguo Temple Wander through Pingyao Ancient City, climb the ancient city wall for a panoramic view, and appreciate Buddhist art at Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple. * 🍜 Featured Food: During your Shanxi trip, don’t forget to try authentic Shanxi noodles like knife-cut noodles, millet jelly, liangfen, plus Pingyao beef and Yellow River big carp waiting for you to taste! * 🛫 Return: After a pleasant Shanxi trip, head to the local airport to check in for your return journey! -------- Tips: 1️⃣ Don’t rush to buy souvenirs! For Pingyao beef, trust the traditional ones; millet jelly is best eaten fresh on-site; liangfen costs 5 yuan/bowl and is super refreshing🍜 2️⃣ Choose hand-cut and freshly cooked knife-cut noodles; the richer the broth, the more authentic. Remember to dip the Yellow River big carp in vinegar for extra freshness🐟 3️⃣ Shanxi people love vinegar like their life depends on it. If the restaurant staff ask if you want more, don’t refuse this warm hospitality🥢 4️⃣ The folk customs in northern Shanxi are simple and honest. Smile first before taking photos of folk performances to respect local culture and get better shots📸 5️⃣ Dragging a suitcase on Pingyao’s stone-paved streets is exhausting. It’s recommended to carry a backpack or wear soft-soled shoes for eating and exploring👟 -------- That’s all for the private Xinzhou tour guide. If you find it useful, give a like, follow me, and you won’t get lost on your next trip😉
