First, Jinci Scenic Area
Jinci Scenic Area is a very iconic local landscape. People often say? Less than Jinci, waste to Taiyuan? It can be seen that Jinci Scenic Area is of great importance to Taiyuan. Jinci is the earliest existing imperial sacrifice garden, where you can learn about history and culture and see things that are not available elsewhere.
Second, Shanxi Museum
Shanxi Museum is a favorite place for many tourists. It is a first-class museum in the national 1 batch, with a total collection of more than 400,000 pieces and a very rich variety. Standing in Shanxi Museum, we can appreciate the charm brought by history and culture.
Third, Shuangta Temple
Shuangta Temple is also a representative building in Taiyuan. It is said that there is no wood on the beam frame of Daxiong Hall here, but it is made of bricks as a whole, which is very distinctive in the architecture at that time, so it is worth seeing as a tourist attraction.
Fourth, Mengshan Giant Buddha.
When it comes to the Giant Buddha, the first thing that many people think of is the Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan. Many people may not know that the Mengshan Giant Buddha in Taiyuan is higher than the Leshan Giant Buddha. Mengshan Giant Buddha, also known as the second largest Buddha in the world, is one of the earliest large-scale Buddha statues in the world, with an overall height of 17.5 meters, which is very spectacular from a distance. Mengshan Giant Buddha was destroyed at the end of Yuan Dynasty and was not rediscovered until 1980, but it was seriously damaged at this time. It was not until 2007 that the relevant departments developed and protected the giant Buddha and opened it to the public the following year, so it was not easy for tourists to see this giant Buddha.
