Trip Moments Recommendations
Taiyuan Ancient County
This is a newly built scenic spot in Taiyuan City. It’s becoming popular not just with foreign tourists but also to Taiyuan’s local people because of its unique scenery.
At daytime you will see the people walking through the streets, taking pictures of the beautiful view especially trying to catch the beautiful sunset.
There are restaurants, snack shops, souvenir shops, a photo studio where you may rent beautiful traditional costumes and accessories to wear for the photo shoot.
After the sunset, the streets become even more beautiful when the colorful lights of the structures turn on.
I recommend to go until evening to see the sunset and lights on and especially during special events and festival like the Lantern Festival.

Food Trip!
For food lovers like me, this is the place to be! Whatever you’re in the mood for, you can find it here. From noodles, to barbecues, Korean food or Japanese food, hotpot, seafood, buffets or “a la carte”, even Halal food! They’ve got it all here. The choice is endless. I always fall into a food-coma after a trip to this famous food street. The also have pubs and bars that serves alcoholic beverages. We also found tea house, coffee shops and juice bars. Definitely not a place for peiple on a strict diet as temptations will be around you.
You can go at noon for lunch and stay til night as more and more vendors open up their shops. The street is so busy especially at night.
Not too far from the center and if are staying at Kempinski hotel (like we did), the taxi ride is about 20 mins. Taxi’s in Taiyuan starts at 8RMB so the fares are cheap (especially using Didi).

Spa Day
We only get one day off from work a week so we thought why not? instead of the usual busy day out we usually plan, we opted for a relaxing day at the spa. The whole experience was good. They have a shared hot bath and shower area that’s spacious enough to accommodate all the guests. (For first timers going to a spa in China), from the shared locker room to the shower area, you have to walk naked. The towels are only given after your bath.
There are so much activities to do for every one. they even have a movie room, nails salon area, massage area, gaming area for kids and a huge food court where they serve local food.
The whole area was clean and comfortable. #tripmoments #trip #spa #relax #relaxing #taiyuan #shanxi #china
An amazing campus and city
The Shanxi province's Taiyuan city is home to Taiyuan University of Science and Technology.
I spent over 4 years in Taiyuan University pursuing my master's degree, and it was an amazing time in my life.
Taiyuan is the province's capital, you can easily find everything you need for foreigners, including great tourist destinations that are quite modern, very old and historical towns, as well as relaxing locations where foreigners may meet and spend time together.
Don't hesitate to look into Taiyuan University if you ever decide to move to China to further your education.

Trip to Taiyuan
I’ve been in this city many times, but this time I decided to stay in #downtown to #explore more.
The city is colorful and bright especially at night. There are lots of restaurants and shopping centers all around, but I wouldn’t recommend you to stay in downtown simply because you will spend more money for renting a place. Its better to rent an apartment out of the city center and then use a taxi or subway or just ride rental bikes to move to downtown 😁😉
