The ancient city is fantastic! There's so much history to learn! The "Encounter Pingyao" performance was also superb! The sets, props, and actors were all excellent, paying attention to detail! The three-day pass for the attractions within the ancient city is a great feature.

When visiting Shanxi, a trip to Jinzhong is incomplete without a visit to the Qiao Family Compound. However, the ticket price is not very friendly and is generally quite expensive. But strolling around the compound is still a worthwhile experience!

I highly recommend visiting the Wang Family Compound. We spent over four hours there. It's a truly wealthy place. You can even order Mixue Ice Cream delivery via drone at the Wang Family Compound – awesome!

There is bus route 209 outside Pingyao Ancient City that goes directly to Zhenguo Temple, so transportation is quite convenient. This ancient temple, with a history of over a thousand years, has retained its original style despite being damaged and repaired many times during wars. The artifacts on display are still intact, and those who are interested can take a look.

Mianshan is fun, especially Qixian Valley, which is fun and exciting, but there are many people and you have to queue. The management of the scenic area is not in place, and many people who cut in line are ignored. Tourists almost got into a fight. I told the police and the staff, but no one cared.

Zhangbi 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".

Yuci Old Town boasts a high proportion of buildings, yet receives very little traffic. It's so deserted during the day that even dogs can lie down and sleep in the middle of the street. It only becomes lively at night, when more businesses open. Weekdays are generally deserted by tourists. The architecture is beautiful, both grand and sophisticated. The night view of the old town is quite stunning, and the flow of people is also higher.

It's a very interesting mansion. After generations of construction, it has become like a city. The content is very rich, and there are many carved stone statues. It would be better to listen to the explanation, otherwise it is too big and you don't know what to visit.
