Pingyao Ancient City: Discover China's Wall Street!
One of the must-visit attractions in Jinzhong is Pingyao Ancient City, which has a history spanning 2,800 years since its establishment during the Western Zhou Dynasty. Although many parts were restored during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it remains one of the best-preserved and most complete ancient cities in China. There's even a section of red clay walls dating back to the Zhou Dynasty that has astonishingly resisted weathering over the centuries. Visitors can't help but touch it—it’s truly fascinating! 👍
The view from the city walls is stunning, especially on clear days when photos turn out beautifully. While some criticize the city for being overly commercialized, Pingyao has been a bustling commercial hub for over a thousand years, so this characteristic is deeply rooted in its history.
Within the ancient city, you'll find China's first-ever bank (known as a 'piaohao') and a museum dedicated to escort agencies. For a significant period, this small ancient city was home to the wealthiest financiers in China, earning it the nickname of 'China's Wall Street' in ancient times. Naturally, I had to pay homage to this historic site! ❤️
Super popular 🔥|The Folk Palace Museum·Wang Family Courtyard
Wang Family Courtyard is considered a first-class tourism zone in Shanxi. With a history of more than 700 years, it is known as the Folk Forbidden City. Most people may be more familiar with Qiao Family Courtyard, which has been filmed in a TV series, but in terms of the scale and visibility of the ancient monuments, this is definitely the first choice. The scenic spot is located in Lingshi, more than two hours away from Taiyuan. It is usually a very popular attraction, and it is even more crowded during the long holidays. For convenience, you can directly sign up for a one-day tour.
The Wang family surname originated from Shanxi, and there are two highlights of the Wang Family Courtyard: one is the private residences of the first and second rooms that you can see directly after entering the east gate, which has a "three-courtyard" structure. The other is a large residential settlement that accommodates seven or eight hundred households. It is surrounded by city walls. Walking along the city wall, you can overlook the entire Wang Family Courtyard, which is very impressive.

Taiyuan, you must visit Jinyang Lake in winter💜for chuang asia trainees💜
#dreamdestination
It's not that Iceland is unaffordable, but Taiyuan is more cost-effective
I didn’t expect Jinyang Lake to be so beautiful in winter, and the sunset mouth is so beautiful that it’s so photogenic. No one around me could tell this was Taiyuan!
P2 is at Tinglang Bay, watching the sunset at the Guanhu Promenade. Be sure to check the sunset time. The sunset is very early in winter, so don't miss it.
