Taiyuan was shocked, Xinzhou said it was outrageous, and Wutai Mountain went crazy.
This time I was traveling for the scenery and my desire for food and drink. However, my suitcase became heavier and heavier during the journey, but my mood remained light-hearted throughout the journey.
Let’s talk about the fireworks-filled place in Taiyuan first, then the frontier-style charm of Xinzhou, and then the cool atmosphere presented by Mount Wutai. These three places have three different rhythms. After such a trip, I found that the beauty of Shanxi is all hidden in the folds of mountains and rivers like bulk. I have to rummage through it step by step.
When you land in Taiyuan, settle your stomach first
After arriving at Wusu Airport, it takes forty minutes to take a taxi into the city. If it happens to be during the evening rush hour, it will take an additional twenty minutes.
Living in Liuxiang or Changfeng Street is the most convenient place. Dining and shopping are all at your fingertips. Housing prices are quite friendly on weekdays, but once holidays come, prices skyrocket like a somersault.
When dusk falls, I go to the Fenhe River to catch the wind. There are groups of runners, and there are people taking photos everywhere beside the railings. It has the same feeling as the park on the riverside.
The next day we went straight to Jinci Temple. The Holy Mother Hall was made of hard wood from the Song Dynasty. We walked on it with fish pond flying beams, and the water circled the soles of our feet. We stretched out our hands to soak in the Nanlao Spring. The water was so cold that it was refreshing.
The trees in the courtyard have all grown up with character. Old plaques and ancient stone tablets are lined up in rows. The relevant stories tell the guardian spirits of Jinshui, and the incense offered to them has never been cut off until now.
Tianlongshan Grottoes is a must-see. The caves were excavated from the Northern Wei Dynasty and continued until the Tang Dynasty. The Buddha statues there have many defects, but they have been restored through digital restoration. When you stand in the light and look at them, you can suddenly understand the quiet expression on the face of the Buddha statues.
The landmark of the city is the Twin Pagoda Temple. You can see the two Ming Dynasty brick pagodas when you look up. Climb the pagoda to see the city view. The steps are so steep that your knees will tremble. You can compare them with a photo.
Don't worry about eating this piece. First, have a bowl of shaved noodles, and the shaved noodles will fall into the basin with a sizzling sound. Then add a plate of oily pork. When the heat is reached, you won't feel tired.
Get up early and find a shop to get a bowl mind , the heat hits your face, and your body comes alive after one sip.
I wanted to have a snack in the evening, so I had some haggis to fill my belly. I drank a spoonful of chili and the sweat started to fall.
Xinzhou, once the wind becomes strong, history will stand.
It takes one hour to go north from Taiyuan to Xinzhou, take a nap in the car, and wake up with a delicious face.
Xinzhou is always called Xiurong, and the taste of the frontier fortress has always been Yanmen Pass Blow over.
The city wall stands on the ridge, and the sound of wind in the corner is like a trumpet. At the foot is the north-south transportation artery, and it is very exciting to imagine the clouds rolling in.
There is a military training ground in Guanli. When the drums sound, people stand extremely straight. Children watch without blinking their eyes. Parents use their mobile phones to record the scene so that their hands are sore.
Further ahead, there is a thousand-year ice cave in Ningwu. When you enter in summer, the breath will immediately come out. The frost hanging on the cave wall is like salt. It is best to prepare anti-slip shoe covers in advance.
Luya Mountain is also close. The ridges are like the tips of bamboo shoots, and the clouds are close to your face. You don’t need a filter to take pictures.
Laoniu Bay is further north, where the Yellow River and the Great Wall intersect. The setting sun reflects on the water, showing a scene extending to the horizon like a golden line. Tubaozi retains its past appearance and is quiet to an extraordinary degree.
Xinzhou has a larger belly. The oatmeal noodles are served like a flower basket. The mutton soup is poured on it and the dipping sauce is smeared on it, and the fragrance of the noodles comes to your mouth.
The unique plump texture of Dingxiang steamed pork is not greasy at all. The alluring aroma is deeply embedded into the meat through the action of steam. When you pick up a piece of it, you will instantly feel that the rice is no longer enough.
Mount Wutai, the rules of the cool world
The important scenes are arranged in Wutai Mountain. I stay in Taihuai Town for one night and go hiking the next day. The schedule will not be disrupted and my waist will not feel tired.
During the peak season, there are more people, so you should take action as early as possible when booking a room. The price of the inn ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan. The price is relatively cheap in the middle of the week, but it will rise sharply during the festival. Things like price increase at the front desk will happen from time to time, so you need to have a good idea first.
The car can drive to the gate of the scenic spot, but you need to take a shuttle bus to enter the mountains. Don't believe that black cars will take you on small roads. Once caught, the punishment will be severe and the entire trip will be delayed.
In the form of a set, tickets and tickets are taken together. There is a half-price discount on site. Student ID cards and senior citizen ID cards will be valid for use. The policy requires a window to make a determination every day.
Walking around the temple in Taihuai Town, the big white pagoda of Tayuan Temple is the most eye-catching. It has the style of the Yuan Dynasty. Its shadow on the ground looks like a piece of snow. When viewed from a close distance, the cracks in the bricks are so thin that it is difficult to pick out the gaps.
Xiantong Temple has a long history. Its legend began in the Han Dynasty. The copper hall shimmers in the shadow of the trees. When the sun shines, the golden energy leaks out from the window panes.
Bodhisattva top It is an important place of the Yellow Sect. When the Dharma trumpet is shouted, the valley can echo, and the mountain wind makes people's hearts light up.
You have to walk more than a thousand steps to Dailuoding. Don't be pushy. You have to walk up slowly. When you are halfway up, you have to look at the tower and the clouds. Then you have to look back at the village and the river. It looks like a long scroll. If you are so tired that you are panting like a bellows, it is worth it.
Foguang Temple is not located in the core area, and the drive is relatively long. However, it is worth visiting. What you see is the main hall of the Tang Dynasty. The wood in the main hall has been supported for thousands of years. The brackets of the main hall are protruding toward the outside. Its edges and corners are clear. When the sun shines, it seems that the years are dozing on the beams.
Nanzenji Temple has a longer history, and its courtyard is not very wide. Once the main hall opens its door, time seems to have subsided, and the silence reaches the point where only the chirping of birds remains.
The environment in the mountains is quiet and quiet. Don't buy incense at will. You can get free incense in the temple. How much you want to donate in front of the palace depends on your personal preference. Don't listen to the salespeople at the door who say a set of rhetoric that costs hundreds of dollars.
Look at the majestic view of the sunrise. It is considered the most stable place on Dongtai or Beitai. It takes more than three o'clock to get up and board the vehicle at 4:30. The cold wind seems to wake people up alive. The down jackets are thrown directly on the body without hesitation. When I see the sun emerging, I even exhale with a smile.
In the summer, turn on the sun protection action and put the raincoat in the bag. As long as there is a cloud in the mountains, it will rain immediately. It is best if the soles have anti-slip properties.
Appreciate the colorful leaves in autumn, which appear one layer of red and another layer of yellow. When the wind blows by, it is like turning the pages of a book, and the temperature drops instantly. At this time, thin down should be worn in time.
In winter, do not go to the top of Wutai Mountain because the roads are slippery, the wind is strong, and the shuttle bus may be out of service. If you want to seek peace and quiet, then stay in Taihuai Town and visit various temples. When you hold hot tea in your hands, your heart will not be wandering.
After such a trip, I can sum it up in three sentences. In Shanxi, you can see the city, the pass, and the temple. Taiyuan has the smell of fireworks, Xinzhou has the style of the frontier, and Mount Wutai has the cool charm.
If you can drive by yourself, drive yourself, which saves time and effort. If you can't drive by yourself, take the high-speed rail and ferry, which will ensure your safety.
Choose a weekday to go, keep your wallet lighter, and feel much better.
