Guanque Tower

Anonymous User

Funny, but it is a bit biased. The traffic from the attractions to the city is not very convenient. However, if you go to the attractions from the city, there are still many scenic spots that need to be stamped for consumption. The budget is not a lot. You can buy something not very expensive.

Pujiu Temple

M52***71

Pujiu Temple is located in Shantou, 3 kilometers east of the ancient city of Zhangzhou, Yunji City, Shanxi Province. It is a long-standing Buddhist Shifang Temple and is also the place where the love story of the classic drama "Xixiang Ji" is born. Pujiu Temple was built in the Sui and Tang Dynasties and has a history of more than 1,000 years. Originally called "Yongqing Courtyard", it is a Buddhist Shifang Temple. During the five generations and ten kingdoms, because the later Han General Guo Wei listened to the suggestions of the monks in the temple, he quickly decided to attack the city of Zhangzhou and rescue the people in the city. The monastery was renamed "Pujiu Temple". The layout of the temple building is three floors above and below, three axes in the east, middle and west. The west axis is the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty, with the Big Bell Tower, the Pagoda, the Louvre, the Wild Goose Pagoda, the Daxiong Palace, etc.; the central axis is the architectural style of the Song and Jin two generations, including the Temple of Heavenly Kings, Bodhisattva Cave, the Mituo Palace, the Luohan Hall, the Ten King Hall, the Tibetan Jing Pavilion, etc.; the East axis is the Ming and Qing shape, with monks and dead wood halls. Yanta: The Yanta in the temple was built in Ming Jiajing 43 years (1564), more than 400 years of history, the tower is39.5 meters high, 13 floors. The tower is known for its strange structure and obvious echo effects. Tourists hit the side of the tower with stones, and the tower will make a crisp and pleasant howling, known as the "pure rescue sound", which is one of the eight scenes of Yongji in ancient times. Back garden: The back garden is a lively garden garden, the park is stacked with stone rockery hanging dangerous like cutting, slang double pavilion moths. The cross-framed winding bridge on the lotus pond, the pavilion bridge is connected, and the lake and mountain are connected. The "bay platform" of the cypress is hidden in the green pine and green cypress, and the bamboo is repaired in the thousands. The attractions related to "Xixiang Ji": There is Zhang Sheng's "Xixiang" in the temple, Cui Wei's "Lihua Deep Courtyard" for a sojourner, and Zhang Sheng's "Shuzhai Yard" after the release of Baima. These attractions are closely connected with the plots in "Xixiang Ji". Ticket price: 50 yuan. Opening hours: peak season (April 1st - October 31st) 08:30—18:00; off-season (November 1st - March 31st) 09:00—17:00.

Shentan Grand Canyon

Went there on May 1st. Not too many people, very good scenic spot, many fun projects. There are also projects similar to Huashan Skywalk, but unfortunately not enough publicity! Overall, I like it.

Wulao Peak

山在穷游

There are many mountains around Yuncheng to take a look, but the best development at present should be Wulaofeng. Wulaofeng will be very cool in the summer. If you want to go up, you can walk and take the cable car. I suggest you can walk because the view of the walk is the view I have seen on the very beautiful road

Pujindu Site

M52***71

The site of Yujindu is located in the west of Xixiang Village, Zhangzhou Town, Yongji City, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province. It is an important site with rich historical relics and the first large-scale ferry site excavated in China. It is one of the three ancient ferry crossings in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, connecting Hedong and Guanzhong. According to the "Spring and Autumn Zuo Chuan", in 541 BC, Qin Gongzi Xian built a pontoon bridge here, and opened the river before the construction of the bridge in Jindu. Since then, Qin Zhao Xiang Wang, Han Gaozu, Han Wudi, and Yuan Wendi have all built a pontoon bridge here. Twelve years in Kaiyuan (AD 724), Tang Xuanzong's Ministry of the Army Shang Shu Zhang said that he presided over the transformation of the Yujin Bridge, using iron cattle and iron chains to strengthen the bridge, so that it was more stable. The transformation cost about 1,100 tons of iron, accounting for the total annual output of the country's iron. At the time of Jinyuan, the pontoon bridge was destroyed in the fire, and only iron cattle were left. The Ming Dynasty used iron cattle to rebuild the pontoon bridge many times, until the Qing Dynasty due to the Yellow River diversion, the Jindu gradually abandoned. In 1989, the Jindu site unearthed Tang Kaiyuan iron cattle four, iron man four, iron mountain two, iron pillar four, seven star iron pillar group and Ming Dynasty shore revet stone embankment. The iron cattle are beautifully shaped, weighing about 55 tons to 75 tons, divided into two groups of north and south, arranged in eight shapes. The archaeological discoveries of the Jindu site have great value for studying the political, economic, military, cultural and bridge history, smelting and casting technology, and the changes of the Yellow River in the Tang Dynasty. From 1999 to 2005, the State Administration of Cultural Relics approved and implemented the project for the protection of the Yujindu site, raising the unearthed cultural relics in their original location by12.2 meters to avoid erosion by the Yellow River flood. The Yujindu site has now been built as a ruins park, including the entrance area of the scenic spot, the ferry site area, the imitation Tang floating bridge area, the cultural relics exhibition area, etc. Visitors can enjoy the cultural relics such as the iron cattle and iron people of the Tang Dynasty and learn about the historical style of the ancient Yellow River ferry. The Jindu site is not only the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient working people, but also an important physical data for studying the ancient bridge engineering, smelting technology and the changes of the Yellow River in China.

Yellow River Iron Bull

M52***71

The Yellow River Datie Niu is located on the east bank of the Yellow River outside the west gate of the ancient city of Zhangzhou, Yongji City, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province. It was cast in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty (725 AD) to stabilize the Fujin pontoon bridge and maintain the traffic of Qin and Jin. Yujindu is an important ferry on the ancient Yellow River, and it has been the traffic of Qin and Jin since ancient times. During the Xuanzong period of Tang Dynasty, in order to strengthen the rule of Hedong, he decided to rebuilt the Yujin Bridge, changed the bamboo rope of Lianzhou to iron rope, and cast four iron cattle as rope piles. Each of the four iron cattle is about1.9 meters high, about 3 meters long, about1.3 meters wide, weighs about 30 tons, plus chassis and iron columns, each iron cattle can weigh up to 70 tons. The casting process is extremely complicated, the ancients used yellow wax to shape, then burned with clear mud, and finally filled with iron water to solidify. In the five-line culture, "cow elephant, earthen, earth wins water", casting iron cattle can play the role of water in the five-line, the town guarding the Yellow River so that it will not break the embankment, so the local people also called these four iron cattle "town river iron cattle". The Yellow River Datie Niu is located on the east bank of the Yellow River outside the west gate of the Zhangzhou City site, 15 kilometers west of Yongji City, between Puji Temple and the Peak House. It is known as the Yujindu, which is a famous ferry on the ancient Yellow River. In 1989, after more than a year of exploration, the Yongji County Museum found four iron cattle, four iron people, two iron mountains, a group of seven-star iron pillars and three earth and stone mounds on the site of the Jindu. Because the protection of iron cultural relics is a worldwide problem, coupled with the difficulties encountered in actual construction, the Yellow River iron cattle have been placed on the shore in the open air since they were unearthed. The Yellow River iron cattle is an important part of the Fujin pontoon bridge, witnessing the brilliant achievements of ancient Chinese bridge engineering. There is an iron man next to each iron cow, representing different ethnic groups, showing the openness and tolerance of the great Tang Dynasty. The rise and fall of iron cattle reflects the development and changes of ancient Chinese politics, economy and military, and also enriches the history of ancient Chinese bridges. The Yellow River is not only a historical witness of the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty and the wisdom of the ancient working people, but also an important symbol of the Yellow River culture.

Yongle Palace

上善若水不忘初心

Cultural relics and ancient buildings can be found in Shanxi. The murals in Yongle Palace are absolutely beautiful. The murals with Taoist cultural themes are rare in China. They have been passed down for more than 600 years. I was lucky to see them. Unfortunately, I can't take pictures. I can only see them with my naked eyes and remember them in my mind.

Yongji Tang Iron Cow Museum

三晋龙少

Yongji Tang Tieniu Museum is located in the scenic spot of Jindu Site. The Tieniu Museum is built in the location of the four iron cattle excavated. The architectural style is unique, divided into ground and underground. The underground mainly shows the process of iron cattle excavation and iron cattle if cast.

Highly recommend going to a show! It is really immersive to show the traditional Chinese classical love story in full. All actors are also very dedicated. It was raining on the day of the performance. The scenic spot issued raincoats. The actors were completely unaffected. I was really touched. Consistent plot, reasonable transfer, let Shanxi trip to reap additional surprises!

Wangu Temple

M18***61

Wangu Temple, which went to the afternoon of March 2, 2024, was catching up with the construction of part of the fence in the temple. The door did not inform the construction of part of the fence in the temple. After entering, two potion-like cave-like caves can be worshipped, and there is a big sleeping fairy. The overall parking lot is sand and stone, no charge, passing partners can go and see it
