    The tickets I booked for the children were very convenient; we entered by scanning a QR code. "Of the nine strategic passes under heaven, Yanmen Pass is the foremost," and today we are at Yanmen Pass. Just as we arrived at the entrance of the scenic area, at the wall of famous figures and the statue of the Yang family generals, the park was playing "Eternal Chang'an City," which made me feel a little sentimental.

    布隆迪康龙布隆迪康龙

    Xinzhou Ancient City is truly wonderful, with various ancient buildings arranged in a harmonious and picturesque manner. Be sure to climb the city wall at the entrance, and take photos at the Xiurong Academy at the highest point for a panoramic view. The various snacks are all quite good; following the reviews is a safe bet. However, avoid the Golden Beef Soup at the entrance; personally, I felt the portion of meat was small, and at 30 yuan a serving, there wasn't much to eat. They advertise a free scallion pancake with the soup (but it's only four small pieces, not even enough for a child).

    Inside, there's just a pagoda and a small temple. There's not much to see, and you'll finish quickly. If you don't know the history or hire a guide, you'll essentially only see a wooden pagoda. Therefore, it's recommended to learn about the relevant history beforehand or hire a guide.

  • Pure Land Temple

    On December 12, 2025, I happened to be there when Yingxian County had its first snowfall of the winter. Unfortunately, because I arrived too early and the light was too dim due to the snow, I couldn't properly appreciate the beauty of the caisson ceiling, which was a real pity. The景区 staff worked very hard, clearing and shoveling snow early in the morning. Seeing them working together for Yingxian was truly moving for me as a tourist. I will definitely come back to Yingxian again if I have the chance.

    The scenery is nice and the bus is very convenient, good reviews! But the consumption level in the scenic area is a bit high, especially in some farmhouse restaurants, where two people can eat more than 100 yuan, while other places in the mountains only cost dozens of yuan.

    The hotel is very close to the city center, with supermarkets nearby. A connecting corridor runs between the lobby and guest rooms, leading to a garden pavilion; the environment is beautiful. The breakfast is plentiful and delicious. The rooms are clean and tidy, with complete facilities, including a practical three-part bathroom. The receptionist was exceptionally friendly. I didn't get to try the late-night snack, and parking is plentiful and convenient.

    The scenic area has a complete vinegar brewing process. The tour guide explains in detail. You can taste five or eight years old vinegar, buy vinegar and vinegar products, and the vinegar ice cream is delicious.

    Since its renovation, the Shanxi Museum has become incredibly crowded. I remember when the old museum opened, there were hardly any people at all. Now, it's packed with people, making it extremely difficult to take a photo without faces in it. I can only take pictures of some lesser-known artifacts to show you.

    There is a manual explanation, the fee is 50, you can see the exhibition on the ground and go underground to visit the mining process, the cost-effectiveness is high, you can learn about coal mines, it is worth recommending! ! ! ! !
