Pingyao and Jiexiu are located in the middle of Shanxi, and both belong to Jinzhong city. As we all know, Pingyao is a world cultural heritage and the most complete and well-preserved ancient county town in China, and its cultural value goes without saying. Pingyao also has Confucian temples in the Jin Dynasty, as well as numerous pawn shops and escort agencies. It is a city with a very developed financial industry. Outside Pingyao, there is a precious temple in the north and a precious temple in the south. In the north is Zhenguo Temple, a five-generation building with murals and colored sculptures. In the south, there is a Ming Dynasty temple, Shuanglin Temple, which is a precious sculpture museum with many colorful sculptures hanging in it. Don't praise the cultural value of Pingyao disability too much. It is not only the wealth of China, but also the cultural wealth of the world.

Jiexiu is in the south of Pingyao. Although the ancient city is not as good as Pingyao, Jiexiu still has many things that are second to none. First of all, the quadrangles, where Shanxi merchants stayed for many days, are large-scale Ming and Qing dwellings preserved in China at present, and have also been included in the preparatory world heritage. Jiexiu's glass technology in the United States is also in a leading position, and glass can be seen in ancient buildings all over China. Jiexiu is also the birthplace of the Cold Food Festival. Mianshan in Jiexiu is a famous mountain with excellent human and natural landscape.

so, they are all fine! Each has its own emphasis.

The picture is from the Internet. Sorry to delete it.

both places are good, and Shanxi ranks first. However, in terms of livability, Pingyao is slightly better and Jiexiu has serious air pollution. About five kilometers northwest of Jiexiu City, many coking industries in Xiaoyi are concentrated. As soon as the northwest wind blows, sulfide gas hovers over Jiexiu City. If not, I'll call the resident!

How about Shuanglin Temple in Pingyao?

Shuanglin Temple faces south. The temple complex covers an area of about 15,111 square meters and is divided into east and west parts.

Its gestures are ever-changing, very delicate and flexible.

There are hundreds of exquisite works of art in Shuanglin Temple, each of which is worth pondering. Shuanglin Temple really needs to be savored slowly.

I live near Shuanglin Temple, and I study in Sara Middle School behind Shuanglin Temple. It can be said that I have only been with you for 16 years. Shuangsi Temple, a national key cultural relics protection unit, is located in Qiaotou Village, six kilometers southwest of Pingyao County, Shanxi Province. Shuanglin Temple was originally named Zhongdu Temple and the seat of Zhongdu Old City, hence the name. Zhongdu Temple was founded very early, and it is difficult to research because of the lack of detailed records in ancient documents. The oldest existing monument in the temple is the Auntie Monument in the fourth year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1111). It was a long time ago, and the handwriting is hard to read. The twentieth line of rebuilding Wuping Temple is still recognizable for two years. Wuping two years (571) was the title of the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was rebuilt, so the founding date must have been earlier than this. Even since the Northern Qi Dynasty, Zhongdu Temple has gone through more than 1,411 years.
