205***07It covers a large area and has a well-developed layout, nestled against the mountains and overlooking the water, reflecting the ancient city-building system. The watchtowers are very tall, giving it a strong sense of guarding the border and protecting against enemies. Walking on the city walls is a unique experience. However, it gets very sunny in the summer, and the streets feel quite hot. It's particularly suitable for taking photos in period costumes.

不帅不酷又矮没钱的大叔Everyone knows about the Leshan Giant Buddha, but what about the Mengshan Giant Buddha? Actually, in terms of age, the Mengshan Giant Buddha is 162 years older! In terms of height, the Mengshan Giant Buddha is only second, slightly shorter than the Leshan Giant Buddha! Getting to the Mengshan Giant Buddha isn't very convenient. Public transportation is available, but during the off-season, services are infrequent. Taking a taxi is recommended; taxi prices in Taiyuan are quite reasonable! The climb itself is of moderate length and difficulty. If you want an easier climb, you can take a shuttle bus. Along the way, you'll pass Kaihua Temple, the Iron Buddha Hall, and other smaller attractions. Looking up at the Buddha at its base is breathtaking; it's definitely worth a visit!

绅禾There were a lot of people today, but it didn't affect the experience. The queues for each project basically took half an hour. I've been here several times, and my children always want to come again.

不帅不酷又矮没钱的大叔Speaking of the Twin Pagodas in Taiyuan, what impressed me most was the weather forecast that aired after the evening news program. When the weather forecast for Taiyuan was shown, a picture of the Twin Pagodas appeared, haha! This time I was going to see them in person, but unfortunately I arrived too late. The Twin Pagodas are inside a temple, which closes in the evening, so I couldn't go inside and could only see them from the outside, which was a real pity!

小溪ོWhen the lights of Taiyuan's Bell Tower Street meet the full moon of the 15th, the ancient street becomes a framed painting of time. The dark blue bricks and black tiles outline the contours of history in the light and shadow, while the full moon hangs high above the towers, blending millennia of prosperity with the fullness of this night into the depths of Taiyuan's night. Strolling through the streets, one can almost hear the hustle and bustle of the ancient street and the whispers of the moonlight, creating a nighttime symphony that blends the past and the present in this small world.

好孩子是哪里人I went to Jinyang Lake on the weekend and wanted to take a photo of the sunset. But there were no clouds that day, so I only took a photo of the sunset. An old man was walking unsteadily under the setting sun. Don't say it's too late. I thought of this poem, which fits the scene in the photo very well.
