This is a fairyland hidden in the vicinity of Taiyuan. It has beautiful scenery, few people, no tickets required, and overlooks the magnificent mountains and rivers! Curious friends may ask, where is the secret fairyland hidden around Taiyuan? What different scenery is there? With these questions and curiosity, let’s talk about Jiaozi Cliff today. Jiaozi Cliff is located at the Erku Longwan of Fenhe River in Gujiao City, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province. It is said that this is a thousand-year-old village. This village is one of the "Chen Family Ancestral Homes". The ancient village's stone kilns and stone walls are full of ancient charm. Looking from a high place, the river is in a "U" shape, and the hill on the opposite side stretches into the water like a turtle, like a divine turtle entering the sea, thus forming the special geographical location and natural scenery of the divine turtle entering the sea. The Jiaozi Cliff terraces are picturesque and the lake is like a mirror. Standing on Jiaozi Cliff and looking down, the beauty of the Fenhe Reservoir is simply breathtaking.

The reservoir controls a basin area of ​​2,348 square kilometers and has a total storage capacity of 133 million cubic meters.

The scenery is really good, but the road is really hard to walk on. It's bumpy and has a lot of bends. The most important thing is that your phone has no signal, so you should remember the route in advance. We went the wrong way a few times in order to take nice photos~ 📍Location: Navigate and search directly for Jiaoziya (located in Gujiao City, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province) ✅The road is not easy to travel, there are Mishan Highway and rural dirt and stone roads, it is recommended to drive a car with a high chassis ✅There is a Jiaoziya Farmhouse at the navigation location. It is free to park the car here, and then walk forward from the railing. It takes about ten minutes to walk, but this road is very beautiful, and it is downhill when you go there. ✅Then after passing a village, it is a 40-minute drive One-way taxi road, difficult to drive, with many sharp turns, ⚠️You need to drive an SUV or off-road vehicle, just park your car when you see a convenience store

Itinerary: Taiyuan - Peacock Town - Cishou Temple - Thousand Buddha Temple - Taiyuan Saturday morning, say hello to the sun, I'm going to Gujiao! Driving directly to Peacock Town, we arrived in an hour. It was a bit deserted, but it didn't affect our mood. We entered the park directly by face recognition. This town is very large and there are many entertainment projects. Although they are not open, it doesn't affect my photo taking and visiting There are Internet celebrity bridges, karts, real-life CS, mobilization viewing, etc. If it is summer, you can play for a day. In this cold winter, we left here two hours later Find a local old-fashioned Gong Li restaurant and eat a bowl of noodles, a stir-fried dish, and a cold dish, and continue to explore Gujiao, this county-level city Ci'en Temple, Mr. Zhang said that this is the second largest temple in Gujiao, and there are masters in the temple! There is a second courtyard, a Confucian temple next to it, and a Wenfeng Tower on the mountain. It was built by local entrepreneurs, and the merits are immeasurable!

Local people came here to worship Buddha! From the appearance, it also looked very old. When we went there, we happened to catch up with the kind citizens helping to clean up, so we didn’t spend a long time. We left after a tour! Then we returned to Taiyuan!
