It is recommended to climb the city wall to have a look, we didn't expect much before we went up, but we were surprised!
Although it costs 20r separately, it is really worth it! The ancient buildings that can't be seen at a glance, under the setting sun🔆 are particularly beautiful! The light around 2 pm in autumn is better～
.
The entrance to the south gate is 500 meters to the right👉🏻 is the real scene of the movie 'Man Jiang Hong', gray bricks and tiles, five entrances, narrow alleys of hundreds of meters, there is a feeling of crossing into the movie!

People say Shanxi has beautiful scenery | A morning stroll in the ancient county town of Taiyuan
🌅 As the first rays of sunlight sprinkle on the bluestone paths of Taiyuan's ancient city, I set out alone, stepping into the dawn, embarking on a unique journey through time. 🚶
🍀 In the quiet of the early morning, the ancient city seems to return to a distant era. Tourists have not yet arrived in droves, only a few like me, in pursuit of historical footprints, exploring the secrets of this ancient city.
🏞 The city walls, under the reflection of the rising sun, appear even more majestic and substantial. I can almost hear the echoes of history reverberating between the walls, narrating the splendor and vicissitudes of the past.
🌿 In the alleys, ancient towers in the distance seem to be telling their stories. Occasionally, a cat strolls leisurely around the corner, adding a touch of vitality to the peaceful morning.
🌸 The ancient city in the morning, with less of the daytime hustle and bustle, has an added sense of tranquility and harmony. Wandering through it, one can almost travel through time, returning to that ancient era, conversing with the ancients, feeling the profound depth and weight of history.
📍 Recommended spot: The ancient county town of Taiyuan, a place worth strolling in the morning.
🎈 Travel tips: The ancient city is less crowded in the morning, allowing for a deeper appreciation of its history and culture. Remember to bring a camera to capture this rare tranquility and beauty.

Taking a pony cart to the ancient county town of Taiyuan in spring
On the last day of Qingming, I went to the ancient county town of Taiyuan. There weren't many people, just wandering around. Many of the buildings are newly constructed, but it's still nice to stroll around.
The Confucian temple, Guandi temple, and the county government office seem as if they have always been there. Worth a visit.
There's also a fairly large children's playground, a great place to take the kids

Touch history, explore the culture of ancient architecture
Lin Huiyin: "Once you enter the gate of Jinci, that indescribable beauty and the radiant garden fill you with surprise and joy, exceeding our initial expectations. Unable to name it, we can only call it a garden. In fact, the layout of Jinci is like the courtyard of a temple, like a magnificent imperial garden, with both the grandeur of an open and majestic space and the intricate and profound elegance. The great halls and pavilions amidst the ancient trees, the rustling pools, and the flowing streams are truly like an enlarged private garden pavilion."
The Culinary Vagabond
Taiyuan Ancient City
Located 3 kilometers northeast of Jinci, it is the site of the old county city of Ming Taiyuan. Riding on the east wind of the real estate economy, the ancient Taiyuan county city has been rebuilt on the original site. The city walls are tall and majestic, and the city towers are so high that they seem to pluck the stars from the sky. A moat has also been dug around the city. The flag tower in the center of the city is the tallest building, with its beams and paintings shining brightly. To the east of the flag tower, the Jinyuan Confucian Temple is the only remaining ancient structure from the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is a north-facing, south-facing courtyard with five entrances and three courtyards. Along the central axis, from north to south, there are the screen wall, Lingxing Gate, Pan Pool and Pan Bridge, Sacrificial Hall, Dacheng Hall, Minglun Hall, Jingyi Pavilion, and Zunjing Pavilion, etc. Although it is the weekend, there are few visitors, and most shops are closed. (Travel notes from 12/24)

Engage in a dialogue with the Ming Dynasty
I revisited the ancient county town of Taiyuan. The ancient county town, opened to tourists in 2021, is a city that was first built in 1375. It is located in Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, about 20 kilometers from the city. If you take public transportation, it is quite time-consuming, so I chose Didi Chuxing. The ancient county town is open for free, but the shooting location of Manjianghong inside requires a ticket to enter. As it is the off-season, there are not many tourists in the ancient county town, which adds a touch of mystery to this ancient city. When I arrived at the ancient county town, it was noon. I entered from the east gate and walked a short distance inside. On the left, there is a Shanxi flavor restaurant. I ordered sour soup noodles, vine pepper chicken noodles, and mutton radish with my friends. It was quite delicious. Since this is my second visit, my purpose is clear. I went straight to the Hanfu Experience Hall to experience the luxury of a Jin merchant's young lady. When I was about to reach the west gate, there was a photography shop on the left. The boss is very nice, the makeup is very delicate, the clothes are relatively new, and the key is that they retouch more negatives for the same price, and also give away 50 negatives, which is very nice. I didn't hesitate to settle down. The finished photos are great, I really like them. After the shooting, my friends and I walked and took some photos by ourselves. Let's show you the finished photos and the ancient county town at night.

Staggered travel to the 2024 Lantern Festival is more fun
💙💜💝 I came to the ancient county town of Taiyuan to see the lanterns today, and these two days there are fewer people and no need to buy tickets. The giant dragon at the East Gate is lifelike, the zodiac signs on the streets are distinctive, and there are several groups of colorful lights near the North Gate. ❤️💛💚
KYLE WALTERS
When you go to Taiyuan Ancient County Town
Various scenic spots are making efforts during the Spring Festival, vowing to let us Chinese have a prosperous Dragon Year. As a Taiyuan resident who doesn't want to flock to tourist cities, the ancient county town is the best choice. Although there are many people, you can still get snacks and there are plenty of parking spaces;
The ancient county town is really lively during the Spring Festival. The town is large, and the lanterns are not concentrated, but it's okay, just enjoy the atmosphere in the places where there are more;
Seven minutes of fireworks, you can take life photos while enjoying them. The regret is that you can't see the low-flying ones on the ground, it feels like you should go outside the city to watch;
Small-scale Yangko dance, ancient costume dance team, the richly flavored Manjianghong Film and Television Base, Qingming Shanghe Tu Scenic Area, do a set of ancient makeup, buy a handheld lantern, satisfy the memory of crossing a thousand years.

Taiyuan Ancient County Town
Never has there been a place that cares so much about traditional architecture, this is Taiyuan. Although most of the ancient county town is rebuilt, you can still see the dedication of modern craftsmen in the carved beams and painted rafters and between the column heads and brackets. The moment you wait to climb the city wall, the sunset sweeps over the corner tower, and a sense of desolate beauty unique to the north arises leisurely. Under the city wall, the people's fireworks and voices are very beautiful. In addition to the city wall, there are also the prefectural government office and the Confucian temple (national treasure building) that cannot be missed. The blue glazed tiles under the setting sun seem to be able to see the glory of a hundred years ago, highly recommended to go~~
City wall ticket: 20 yuan, very worth going, recommend going in the evening. There is also a city wall lantern festival and fireworks. Especially for friends who like traditional architecture, you must go.

Taiyuan Ancient County Town was built in the eighth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1375), and on this land, it was the ancient city of Jinyang with a cultural accumulation of more than a thousand years. Therefore, Taiyuan Ancient County Town still continues the architectural style of Jinyang Ancient City. The buildings in the city are mainly Ming and Qing architectures. The cross street connecting the city gates runs through it, dividing the ancient city into 4 areas. With the cross street as the center, there are many streets extending. From a high point of view, the entire ancient city is like a phoenix flying high with its head to the north and tail to the south, so it has another name - Phoenix City.
Zhang Yimou praised: "The beauty of its architecture, its bricks and tiles, the various detailed things carved on the wall, present a beauty of Chinese architecture, a spatial beauty. Hundreds of people built this courtyard with real swords and guns, polished it very well, and those details are very good when displayed."
