Guangsheng Temple

猛虎在旅途
If you want to go to Guangsheng Temple, you need to do your homework. If you don't drive there, Guangsheng Temple is a problem, because the one-day tour will arrive at Guangsheng Temple after 4 pm, and Guangsheng Temple is divided into the upper temple and the lower temple. If you want to take a good look at the murals, you may not have time.

It was raining drizzle when I went. I thought that my ancestors moved to Sichuan from here. Come here to worship my ancestors. It is especially worth mentioning. The service staff at the ancient banyan tree site has a very good service attitude. Seeing that I am alone, I took a photo for me. Thank you again.

Susan Prison

Susan Prison was first built in the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1369 AD), with a history of more than 600 years. It is the only prison in China built in the Ming Dynasty. Susan Prison is famous for the fact that Su San (Yu Tangchun), a famous prostitute in Beijing, was wrongly imprisoned here and the spread of the drama "Yu Tangchun".

Feihong Tower

小小导游爱旅游
Guangsheng Temple Feihong Pagoda, tickets are free, it is worth seeing! The tower is colorful and colorful, like a rainbow coming in the sun, very spectacular. Moreover, the tower has exquisite carvings, and the details show the spirit of the craftsman. The colored glass is impressive and definitely worthwhile!

The Guoqiguan Di Temple, the temple, the hall, the glaze on the top of the hall is really beautiful, but unfortunately it is blocked a lot. Good national insurance, what Su San is willing to do, Lima is low grade. The key tickets are also bound to Su San Prison, and the pass is 40 yuan. Is it unreasonable? Construction is underway around the scenic spot, which is a messy mess.

Yaodu Ancient Town

Yaodu Ancient Town has a long history, like a vivid historical scroll slowly unfolding. The ancient buildings are scattered and well-arranged, making people feel as if they have traveled back to the prosperous times thousands of years ago. Walking on the bluestone road, there are all kinds of handicraft shops and special snack stalls on both sides, which are dazzling and unforgettable. When night falls, the ancient town becomes more mysterious and romantic, and in the dim lights, it seems that you can hear the whispers of history. Yaodu Ancient Town is a good place for people to forget the hustle and bustle and indulge in it.

Guangsheng Temple is three-jeweled under the temple Mingying Wang Palace opera mural, just in Mingying Wang Palace. Take it casually outside, and the precious murals inside are not open all year round for protection needs, so you are not allowed to take pictures. However, it is not bad to see the real relics and have a full eye.

瑞子带你游天下
The following is a detailed introduction to the Yao Temple Huamen: Basic Overview - Geographical location: Located on Yaodu Avenue, Yaodu District, Linfen City, Shanxi Province, at the bottom of the west side of the Yao Temple Scenic Area Square. - Building scale: Covering an area of ​​150 mu, with a construction area of ​​22,000 square meters, 80 meters wide, 50 meters high, 2 underground floors, 7 floors above ground, the main body consists of three parts: the base, the main gate and the gatehouse. - Construction time: Construction started in 2002 and completed in 2004. Cultural symbol - Monument to Chinese Civilization: Southern Shanxi is the birthplace of the Chinese nation. Yao established his capital in Linfen and created ancient civilization. Huamen was built to commemorate Emperor Yao's unification of China and the opening of civilization, and to show the historical origins of the Chinese nation. It can be called the "No. 1 Gate in the World" in culture. - Reflection of gate culture: Huamen is China's first gate cultural tourism landscape, integrating historical commemoration and sightseeing, filling the gap in China's gate cultural tourism. Architectural Features - Big steps: The 25-meter-long waterfall wall represents the water of the Yellow River. The "giant hand holding pottery" stone sculpture above the base platform reflects the civilization status of the Yao and Shun periods. The 56 yellow-brown steps represent 56 ethnic groups. The wheel-shaped railings on both sides of the steps are majestic and heavy. - Main gate: The three doors on the front stand, symbolizing the three emperors Yao, Shun and Yu. The middle main door is 18 meters high, which is the tallest and largest door in the world. The two giant doors are half-open, implying that the door to Chinese civilization has just been opened by Emperor Yao. Main landscape - Yao Tian Shun Ri: The giant crystal sun in the center of the top door and the eight flaming planets around it form "Nine Suns Shining Together". Nine blue halos extend outward around the sun to form "Nine Heavens", showing the civilized scene of "Yao Tian Shun Ri" in ancient society. - Eight Dragon Pillars: The hall is supported by eight dragon pillars that stand tall and straight. The dragon pillars are 14 meters high and cast in bronze. They are currently the tallest dragon pillars in China. The dragon body is suspended and floating, as soft as flowing water and as strong as a rock. - Linked Nine Tripods: Cast in bronze, 2.9 meters high and 2.4 meters wide, it consists of a main tripod and a secondary tripod. The eight secondary tripods are linked together and connected around the main tripod. It is the first artistic shape of nine tripods in Chinese history. - The Great Couplet of the World: 10 meters long and 1.8 meters wide, made of copper, it writes 5,000 years of Chinese history in 500 words, integrating history, literature, and calligraphy art. It is the largest and most word-counted couplet in the country.

China's Gate

It is worth going. Huamen has a collection of "door" architectural essence, integrating historical memorials and sightseeing. The three doors stand on the front, symbolizing the three emperors. The main door is 18 meters high and the tallest door in the world. The main door is just opened, symbolizing the opening of the door of Chinese civilization. Huamen interior displays Huaxia civilization and national culture with rich cultural connotations, and is famous for its ten landscapes such as "long-standing, door opening, the glory of the sky, the dragon of the east, the dragon of the east, the giant league of the world, the high-rise Wangyuan, the Huamen Feiyuan, the famous door expo, the night of Huamen". Xiongju is the world's first, in the scale and height of the building can be called "the first door in the world".

Linfen Museum

行走毛毛
Museums are food too? The beautiful scenery can also be eaten, not to mention the Baotao Temple colored dragon plate in the town hall in Linyi Museum is a food-filled Dongdong Museum gate. There is a certain distance from the parking lot. You have to walk up the steps to enter the museum. Prepare to walk to the door. It is the second floor. First, the next floor, from the first exhibition hall to see the stove god, The Tao Temple painted dragon plate at the end of the entrance of the second exhibition hall will be ignored by many people who do not pay attention. The subsequent Tao Temple site display is more realistic. The third exhibition hall on the second floor is Jinba Spring and Autumn. The main display is bronzeware, the most important exhibition hall, lotus petal bottles, lacquer wood, bird's eye view, It is worth a visit to the theme of the fourth exhibition hall on the third floor including folk culture, opera, religious statues, etc. The theater building and Zhaocheng Jinzang pay attention to view the landmarks at the foot of each key exhibit, which can be viewed with emphasis
