3. Introduction of scenic spots in Lvpingyao, Shanxi
If you want to choose a summer resort worth visiting, Taiyuan is very suitable. It is not as hot as Qinghai Lake and Kanas, and the temperature is not as hot as Hangzhou and Wuhan in the network celebrities. Therefore, among many summer resorts, Pony thinks Taiyuan is also an excellent summer resort.
Recommended reason for Pony:
From January to August, even when most cities in China are still very hot, the highest temperature in Taiyuan is in the early 3s, and the lowest temperature is 12 degrees, so you can feel a relatively cool feeling.
2. If you come to Taiyuan for a one-day tour, there are still many choices. You can choose to go to Shanxi Museum to experience Shanxi's profound culture, or you can choose to go to Taiyuan's landmark twin towers. You can go to Longshan Grottoes, the largest Taoist grottoes in China, and feel the grotto culture. You can also visit the ancient buildings of Jinci, the oldest existing royal sacrificial garden in China, so there are still many choices for a day trip.
3. If you want to go further, ancient buildings like Pingyao Ancient City and Wangjia Courtyard can be completed in one day, which will make you feel the charm of Shanxi.
4. During the trip to Taiyuan, you will also taste many unique foods in Shanxi, and even punch in the most authentic snacks in one day.
5. This is also a transit point for Shanxi tourism. From here, you can go to Wutai Mountain and Datong in the north, and Pingyao in the south, so punching in on the way is also very suitable.
Choice of scenic spots for one-day tour in Taiyuan:
Because everyone has different preferences, the choice of scenic spots for one-day tour in Taiyuan is also different. Xiaoma recommends according to different interests:
If you are interested in cultural relics:
Shanxi Provincial Museum
Since the broadcast of National Treasure, many travelers have developed a strong love for museums. Then, as a gathering place of Shanxi culture, the Shanxi Museum in Taiyuan must be something you can go to. Don't miss it. Although not as famous as Shaanxi History Museum, Palace Museum and Nanjing Museum. When it comes to collections and exhibits, Shanxi Museum is not bad at all.
The collection of Shanxi Provincial Museum has reached 4, pieces. Animal-shaped ornaments, bird statues, khufu wine bottles, painted pottery pots at the bottom of the temple, painted bronze lamps of wild geese and fish, wood lacquer paintings of Jinlong tomb, etc. They are all the most recommended exhibits that Pony thinks.
Shanxi Provincial Museum has no tickets, so you can use the 16o clock. It can be said that if you don't, if you don't have much time to travel to Shanxi, you can enjoy the tourist attractions in Shanxi quickly in advance. For example, you can see various types of Shanxi merchants' quadrangles, such as Wang Jia quadrangles and Changjia Manor. And you can also learn about Yungang Grottoes, Hanging Temple and many other scenic spots. So Pony personally thinks it's worth a visit.
you can focus on floors 2-3, where the treasures of the town hall are basically located.
Tips:
How to get to Shanxi Museum: You can take bus No.865 and get off at Shanxi Museum Station; Take bus No.69
and it is suggested to rent an interpreter, so as to better understand the culture of Shanxi.
If you are interested in ancient cultural architecture:
It can be said that after arriving in Taiyuan, the humanities and ancient buildings are the main objects to visit. There are many such places hidden in Taiyuan, so you can have a good experience.
Pure Palace
To be honest, this is a tourist attraction that surprises me particularly. I thought it was a scenic spot and there was nothing to see, but after I went there, I found many ancient cultural relics and some ancient buildings hidden inside.
So what attracts me to Chunyang Palace?
It is also the Shanxi Provincial Art Museum, where there are many Taoist cultural relics and many Buddhist cultural relics. There are quite a few antiques. (But the theme here is not clear, which makes people feel a little overwhelmed, but tickets to 3 yuan are acceptable.).
How to get to Pure Palace:
Outer Ring Road 89 /611 /838, get off at Bingzhou Hotel, and then walk. (that is, the west side of Wuyi Square)
Jinci
This is the most worthwhile attraction in Taiyuan, and it is also a place where many tourists come to punch in. It's called Little Jiangnan in the North. There are three treasures hidden here, one is the ancient overpass built in the Song Dynasty-Liang Fei in Fish Marsh, the other is Notre Dame, the oldest existing main building in Jinci, and the third is a place of worship without a nail.
guide to the prevention of tourist pits in Jinci:
1. Jinci has two scenic spots, one is Jinci Park, and the other is the real Jinci. Jinci Park is a scenic spot close to Jinci Park Station. When you get to the bus stop, there will be many wild guides to attract you. In the face of such a situation, refusal is the best way.
The picture above shows the fake Jinci Temple, which is the newly-built Jinci Park.
2. The real ticket to Jinci is 8 yuan. After getting off at Jinci Park Station, go straight along Jinci Park for about 1 minutes, and you can reach the real Jinci.
so you need to check the traffic situation before you leave to avoid being targeted by drivers and wild guides.
How to get to Jinci:
Take bus No.38 in Taiyuan and get off at Jinci Park Station.
Let's draw a picture of fake Jinci Temple and real Jinci Temple for your reference.
how to plan a one-day tour in Taiyuan;
recommend a one-day tour based on pony experience. Summary: Morning: Shanxi Provincial Museum; Afternoon: Jinci; Evening: If you like excitement, you can go to Liuxiang to eat delicious food.
Visiting time of Shanxi Provincial Museum: It is recommended to spend 2-3 hours visiting the museum, and it is best to rent a docent.
visit time of Jinci Temple: It can be said that every step of Jinci Temple is a scenic spot, so it is recommended to spend 3 hours exploring it carefully.
What are the delicious foods worth eating in Taiyuan?
Although it is a day trip, you can still try some delicious snacks when you are free. Like many ancient cities, you can taste local specialties when you walk into a street. You can focus on Liuxiang, New Food Street, Taoyuan Lane, Old Barracks, Tiyu Road and Wenxing Road in Taiyuan, where there are many things you can enjoy while eating.
Consider the following foods:
Daoxiao Noodles
This is almost a must-eat pasta when you come to Taiyuan and even Shanxi. Daoxiao Noodles in Taiyuan is drenched with marinade, and the entrance is slippery with internal tendons, which makes it more fragrant when chewed. There are a lot of soup and gravy in Daoxiao Noodles. As a traveler, you can consider beef or mutton as the most distinctive. Basically, every noodle restaurant in Taiyuan is delicious.
Noodle
is a kind of pasta made of buckwheat noodles, which is usually made into noodle soup with many soup heads. Personally, I prefer minced beef and mutton.
cat ears
Personally, Pony likes this kind of pasta very much, because it looks good. It is usually made of white flour and buckwheat flour. Generally, it is also made into noodle soup, broth, cat's ears and vegetarian dishes, which are mixed together with peppers. Finished eating, very satisfied.
mutton chop suey soup
If you like soup, you must not miss the mutton chop suey soup on the street. A bowl of mutton chop suey soup is very rich. Mutton liver, lung, stomach, intestine and heart are cooked, and onion, ginger, coriander, vermicelli and tofu are added. A bowl full of Shanxi characteristics.
Besides, there are many delicious foods that can't be missed, such as bean paste cake, brain flower, braised noodles, lamb chops, oat noodles, steamed dumplings and so on.
where can I travel and live in Taiyuan?
If it is a one-day or two-day tour, I personally suggest living next to the railway
If it is a 3-5-day in-depth tour. S suggested that we can live in two places. If you visit museums, Twin Towers and Chunyang Palace, you can live near Yingze Bridge or Wuyi Square. It is convenient to go to the provincial Expo, Meibo, Dibo, Chunyang Palace, Wuyi Square, Chongshan Temple, Wenfu Temple and other scenic spots, whether by bus, bike or on foot. If you travel to Jinci, you might as well suggest living in Jinci Town.
Wuyi Square and Yingze Bridge are marked as follows:
Of course, Xiaoma also suggests that you spend 3-5 days to visit Taiyuan and its surrounding scenic spots, take a motor train to Pingyao to see Pingyao, and visit Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple; You can go to Yuci by car, visit Changjia Manor, Yuci Ancient Town and so on. In short, this is a place that will definitely surprise you. :
Pingyao ancient city is located in the middle of Shaanxi Province in the north of China. It was built in the period of Western Zhou Xuanwang (827-782 BC) and was originally named as ancient pottery. In the early Ming Dynasty, the city wall was built to resist foreign invasion. In the third year of Hongwu (AD 137), the old wall was rebuilt and expanded, and all the bricks were covered. After several generations, there were ten repairs. Today, I will share with you the self-help tour guide of Pingyao Ancient City.
the ancient city wall.
Pingyao is a bit lonely in the cold winter, and the air is filled with a flavor of Shanxi characteristics. It can be said to be pollution, because the taste comes from coke. On the other hand, it is only in the heating season and has been with people for many years. Change will not happen overnight. In fact, there is no such thing as the best wandering time. It all depends on your own mentality and vision. The opening of high-speed rail has narrowed the distance between Pingyao and Beijing. Even on weekends, there is no problem. There are enough trains for you to choose from. It is close to the ancient city of high-speed railway station. You can take a taxi or ask the hotel to pick you up. Pingyao is an ancient city in the north that still maintains the regulations of Ming and Qing dynasties, and its integrity is shocking. Today, from the houses, houses and streets, it is not difficult to see that it was once prosperous. After all, life comes first. Many locals choose to leave the ancient city and move to new cities outside. The new home is more suitable for living. To some extent, the relocation of residents also protected the ancient city. In addition to numerous banks and escort agencies, the ancient city wall is also a good scenic spot. Go around the city and watch the sunset.
shuanglin temple.
Shuanglin Temple is located in the southwest of Pingyao ancient city, less than 7 kilometers away. It takes less than half an hour to get there by bus No.18 from the north gate of the ancient city. It's very convenient for everyone to spend money in 1 yuan. Tickets for the Double Temple in 4 yuan are free for the elderly. Bus No.18 has no stop sign at the north gate station of the ancient city, and waits diagonally opposite the California beef noodle restaurant. Shuanglin Temple has a waiting platform and seats.
Shuanglin Temple entered the courtyard three times. As soon as you enter the door, you will see the Hall of the King, and in the middle of the backyard is the Hall of the Great Hero. On both sides are the Thousand Buddha Hall, Luohan Hall and Bodhisattva Hall. There are countless gods and buddhas in the Thousand Buddhas Hall, with a street style and vivid expressions. Lohan is kind and funny like a real person in the hall. Although colored plastics are covered with dust, the soft and colorful colors show the unique skills of ancient modeling and production. There are murals on the doorframes of some halls. The introduction at the entrance of Shuanglin Temple said that the painted clay sculptures and murals of Tang Huai, Song Monument, Zhong Ming and Ming Dynasty in the temple are rare treasures.
Joe's compound.
exquisite ancient buildings, especially wood carvings, stone carvings and brick carvings, are treasures that can be directly appreciated. The six gardens have their own merits, and there are many things worth seeing. It's best to avoid holidays and weekends, so that you can watch quietly, otherwise you can only watch the crowd! Kowloon Wall, Kowloon Palace Lantern and rhinoceros moon mirror are some treasures in it. Remember to have a look. I like those exquisite wooden lattice windows very much. Unfortunately, I can't. Now I can't go upstairs and enjoy it. There is a large parking lot at the entrance of the scenic spot and a commodity street at the exit. Remember not to buy small commodities here.

It is located in the center of Pingyao County, built in the west of Zhou Xuanwang, and expanded into a masonry wall in the 196s

The locust tree in the yard is shaped like an umbrella, and its branches are intertwined like a net, which is quite antique.

The Confucian Temple is located on the north side of Yunlu Street in the southeast of the county seat, covering an area of 8, square meters. There are mainly Xingmen Temple, Dachengmen, Dacheng Hall, Minglun Hall and Zunjing Pavilion in the temple. The main hall is five rooms wide and deep, surrounded by stone railings, and green glazed tiles are laid at both ends of the roof, which shines in the sun.
Accommodation: It is recommended to stay in Bb in the ancient city, because Bb can better appreciate the scenery of the ancient city, and the price varies, but the price is definitely high in the peak season.

Millet and porridge are the main food in the morning and evening, and pasta with various colors is the main food at noon.
