Anonymous userZhangbi Ancient Castle, a national key cultural relics protection unit in Jiexiu City, Shanxi Province, is famous for its military defense system and astronomical culture. Below is a travel guide. Must-See Highlights: Underground Tunnels: A three-layered structure (upper level for sentry duty, middle level for troop deployment, lower level for food storage). 1500 meters of the tunnels are currently open to the public, containing ancient military facilities such as horse kilns, command kilns, and communication tubes. Wearing non-slip shoes is recommended. Glazed Glass Art: The peacock blue glazed glass stele (Ming Dynasty tricolor glazed glass decoration) at the Kongwang Buddha Temple is one of only two remaining in the country. The Erlang Temple Glazed Glass Exhibition Hall displays glazed glass statues of the twelve zodiac animals and the twenty-eight constellations. Locust Tree Embracing Willow: A thousand-year-old locust tree with a hollowed-out willow branch symbolizes vitality and is a landmark of the castle. Astrological Layout: The castle is designed according to the twenty-eight constellations. The north gate corresponds to "Bi" (壁) constellation, and the south gate corresponds to "Zhang" (张) constellation. Climbing the city wall offers a panoramic view of the "Star Village".

M30***69The Big Locust Tree is a place where one can forget their troubles and purify their soul. Its sacredness and tranquility soothe everyone who comes to worship their ancestors.

。小冉冉The Huangcheng Xiangfu (Imperial City Prime Minister's Residence) is a 5A-level scenic spot worth visiting. Its grand scale integrates defensive and residential functions, with a clever layout and exquisite brick and wood carvings throughout, showcasing a rich cultural heritage. The scenic area also offers a variety of live performances, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in history. However, it also has drawbacks such as a long parking area and excessive commercialization in some areas.
4.5/5Anonymous userThe experience was fantastic. The Guinness World Record-holding iron flower display was amazing. There were lots of free snacks and attractions, and highway tolls were fully reimbursed. There were many activities to do, and the scenery was beautiful. I've been there twice already!

小贩何I absolutely loved the winter snowscape at Jinci Temple. We had a guided tour (100 RMB) for an hour and a half, which was very professional and great value (don't hire any so-called guides on the street!). The tour was very educational! 👍👍 At the end, they even summarized the three treasures, three wonders, and three plaques.

Fan范同学The collaboration between Game Science and Shanxi's ancient architecture is a double delight for fans! Having just seen the Black Monkey Art Exhibition in Hangzhou in April, this architectural exhibition at the end of the year still exceeded expectations; Game Science's level remains consistently high! Hopefully, these ancient buildings will be better protected and more people will become aware of them!
4.7/5Anonymous userTaiyuan Botanical Garden is a landmark building in Taiyuan. I went there and it was really beautiful! We went during the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was especially beautiful. All kinds of animals and plants were incredibly gorgeous. There's also the famous giant elevator, which is very attractive and great for taking photos. It was absolutely fantastic!

爱母喵喵Tianhe Mountain Surprisingly nice, with mountains and water, and more than just romance. Because we arrived quite late, there were very few people, which made it easy to take photos. The hike along the wading route was quite interesting; it would definitely be fun in the summer. We didn't go to the summit; we had to come back early so as not to keep the shuttle bus staff waiting too long.
