Taiyuan's second stop - Northern Qi Mural Museum
It is said that Chen Danqing also came three times, which shows that the murals are extraordinary. The museum brings together many Northern Dynasty ancient tomb murals unearthed in Shanxi. The murals on display are national treasures:
1. Lou Rui's Tomb "Saddle Horse Cavalry Picture"
2. Xu Xianxiu's Tomb "Drinking Banquet Picture" and "Travel Ceremony Picture"
3. Jiuyuangang "Gate Tower Picture", "Ascension Picture" and "Hunting Picture"
The Mural Museum invited Mr. Niu, an in-depth manual explanation, who is knowledgeable, clear, vivid and professional. Following Mr. Niu's immersive tomb exploration experience, I forgot my fatigue in the three hours in the afternoon and was still not satisfied. Indeed, this is a "feast of lines" and a cultural feast. #Go to the Museum to Explore the Secrets #Songlike Journey #Just Love to See Exhibitions #Explore the Exhibitions #Wonderful Museum Tour
🗓Itinerary:
Originally, I planned to go directly to Mount Wutai from Jinzhong, and after playing in Datong in the north, I went all the way south to Taiyuan, but because I didn't make an appointment for the summit of the Hanging Temple, I postponed Mount Wutai and the Hanging Temple. It was the same to visit Taiyuan first.
It is recommended to stay in Taiyuan for two nights. The two museums require one day, and the Jin Temple on the outskirts of Taiyuan must be checked in. If you have the energy at night, you can also go to the ancient city of Taiyuan. We worked hard all the way and basically maintained the rhythm of daytime activities and nighttime rest.
🍽Dining Recommendation:
Taiyuan Hotel is in the southern inner ring area not far from the Mural Museum. I am not very satisfied and do not recommend it. The Jincai Xiyuan near the hotel is very delicious. I went there for two consecutive nights, which shows that it is true love. Recommended dishes include Shanxi fried meat, Yellow River carp, and knife-cut noodles. The only thing I am not satisfied with is that there is no discount during the Chinese New Year, and the price-performance ratio is a bit poor.

Did you know there's a restaurant in Taiyuan where you can dine while listening to opera? This restaurant is called Xiyuan, which sounds very festive. I stumbled upon it and found it to be a place where you can enjoy opera and eat. They serve Jin cuisine, and it's a unique take on it. Today, my classmate Xiaoliang and I celebrated our second anniversary together, so we went there for dinner. Reservations are required, including for the Champion Chicken, as availability is limited. There are two floors, and the third floor offers the best view of the show, but due to the pandemic, we chose the back row on the second floor (there are also private rooms that can be reserved in advance). We ordered the restaurant's specialty, the Champion Chicken, which was incredibly flavorful, with crispy, fragrant skin, a true signature dish. The Kung Fu Eggplant was slightly sweet, like candied sweet potato. Xiaoliang said it had a very interesting texture. The yellow rice jelly was also sweet, with dragon fruit slices underneath. The shredded chicken soba noodles tasted like the spicy noodles we used to eat as children. Overall, the flavors were quite good, and it's perfect for entertaining guests. And best of all, you can enjoy the opera while eating. It's fun! I've discovered I'm a real expert at finding interesting restaurants.
What's it like to dine in a theater? What's it like to dine in a theater? If I hadn't been here for my birthday, I wouldn't have known about this low-key place.

The architectural style of the Jinshang Courtyard. Once you enter, you're transported back to the days of the great red lanterns. Here you can sit down and watch a play while you eat. And I really like the name: Xiyuan. Their slogan: "Life's joys are all in Xiyuan." It sounds joyful and lively. The elegant ambiance, attentive service, exquisite dishes, and the intricate performances of Jin Opera. This place is truly perfect for business banquets and family gatherings. · 🥗Signature Dish: Zhuangyuan Chicken: Fresh and fragrant, with well-seasoned bones and tender meat, leaving a lasting impression. · Entertainment Dish: Fried sanzi (fried sanzi) with various side dishes, then wrapped in a thin pancake.

It's truly wonderful! · Sweet and Sour Meatballs: Shanxi people cannot do without vinegar, and many dishes are cooked with vinegar, including sweet and sour meatballs. With the perfect balance of sweet and sour, the meatballs are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them a delicious treat for all ages. · 📌Tips: 1. Make reservations in advance to avoid losing the best seats. 2.
