Taiyuan is a stop worth making a special stop in the former land of Shanxi merchants. For two days and one night, between Jinci and Shuangta Temple, encounter the unique atmosphere of Taiyuan.
The first impression of Taiyuan almost always comes from the Jinci Temple. When it actually appears before your eyes, the imagination in the picture suddenly gains weight, and the journey officially begins from that moment.
When it comes to Taiyuan, locals usually first mention Shuangta Temple. Only after experiencing it do you realize that a landmark is never an isolated sight, but the entrance to an entire section of life.
Another side of Taiyuan is hidden within the Fen River. With less crowding from tourists and more daily warmth, you suddenly feel like you've briefly become one of these people.
If you have the energy, take a stroll around Food Street. There's no standard answer there, only your own pace, which fits your itinerary just right.
Taiyuan taught me one thing: you don't have to chase after every sight, just as Jinci taught me—the best scenery is often where you're willing to stop and look at it carefully.
