When talking about beautiful mountains and rivers, many people will think of southern cities or travel destinations such as Guilin and Hangzhou.

But in fact, there are many beautiful places in Shanxi that are worthy of our visit, fun and leisure vacation.

Below, I will recommend a few places for you.

1. Mianshan Mianshan is a famous Taoist mountain in our province. It is also a national 5A-level scenic spot and the birthplace of China’s Qingming cold food culture.

However, I personally like Mianshan mostly because of its beautiful landscape.

Especially the streams and waterfalls in Shuitaogou are particularly refreshing for tourists.

2. Manghe Manghe Ecological Tourism Area is located in Yangcheng County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province. It is not far from the Imperial City Xiangfu Scenic Area and can be visited together.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Mang River a few years ago.

The beautiful landscapes such as Lotus Peak, Shuilian Cave, and Sanlong Waterfall are still unforgettable to me.

3. Wangmangling Wangmangling is known as the "Top of Taihang" and is also a famous summer resort in the province.

In the hot summer, isn’t it a beautiful thing to go to Wangmangling to see the majesty of the Taihang Mountains and enjoy a comfortable and cool trip?

4. Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon If you want to travel around mountains and rivers and get close to nature, Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon is definitely a good place to go.

In the precipitous valley, the turquoise pool reflects the shadows of mountains and trees. Tourists are rowing on the water, which is like a beautiful landscape painting.

In addition, you can also experience rafting and other recreational activities here.

In addition to the above mentioned, there are many places with beautiful scenery and suitable places to visit in Shanxi, such as Hongya Grand Canyon in Lingshi County, Shentan Grand Canyon in Yongji City, Pangquangou in Jiaocheng, Luliang, etc.

, if you have time, bring your family and friends and choose a suitable destination to set off!

Shanxi not only has famous world cultural heritages, but also has natural scenery that will amaze you.

Shanxi is worth your travel.

"Looking from a distance between the cliffs, there is a temple hanging in the air. There are dangerous craftsmen hanging in the sky. The sacred tower and Zhu Pavilion are perched on the cliff, and I sigh that it is a fairy palace."
