Places of interest and historic interest have always been my favorite places to visit. Because most of the scenic spots and historical sites are places with beautiful scenery, and there are ancient ruins worth learning and thinking about. Therefore, strolling among the famous mountains and rivers, on the one hand, you can appreciate the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, on the other hand, you can also feel the profound history and culture of the motherland.

Then, in this famous city of Shanxi, I recommend the following three places of interest.

1. Wutai Mountain Scenic Area

2. Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area

3. Yanmenguan Scenic Area

1. Wutai Mountain Scenic Area

Reference ticket: 135 yuan/person.

Address: Taihuai Town, Wutai County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province

Time suggestion: 2 days

Description: Wutai Mountain is named after its five peaks, such as five giant pillars, rise from the ground and its summit is as flat as a platform; Because of the cold climate on the mountain, it is still unknown in midsummer, so it is also called Qingliang Mountain. The scenic spot is a tourist scenic spot integrating natural scenery, historical relics, ancient architectural art, Buddhist culture, folk valley customs and summer rest, with a total area of 2,837 square kilometers, and the highest point, Ye Dou Peak, is 3,58 meters above sea level, which is called the "Roof of North China". Wutai Mountain has many famous cultural landscape heritages, including 47 existing temples, 39 inside Taiwan, 8 outside Taiwan, and other built temples.

Tourist experience sharing: Wutai Mountain is one of the top ten famous summer resorts in China, with a forest vegetation coverage rate of over 8.5% and an average temperature of 6-18 degrees. Wutai Mountain is a scenic spot with four distinct seasons, with peach blossoms in spring, Lingling fragrance in summer, poplars in autumn and cold snow in winter. Especially now in summer, the flowers in the mountains are blooming in Shan Ye, and large areas of Euphorbia fischeriana and Linlingxiang are blooming first, and lying on the meadow is as cool as a dream. Wutai Mountain has a cold climate, and there is ice at the top of the platform all year round. Because of its high altitude and low temperature at the top of the platform, it is still necessary to wear cotton-padded clothes in midsummer. Therefore, visiting here in summer can not only climb mountains and enjoy the scenery, but also cool off in the summer. Nowadays, taking children to experience in summer vacation can not only relax the body and mind, but also let themselves and their families feel the freshness and comfort of nature. It is really a good choice.
