5.0Wuguantun Grotto(59 reviews) - It's awesome but keep in mind that Yungang Grotto and Wuguantun Grotto are one place ;) Monday: 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM Caverns & Caves
In Trip Advisor there are two different places worth see - Yungang and Wugantun Grotto - but it's the same! Nevertheless it's breath taking place.See more..
This is a beautiful, colorful, peaceful temple at the top of a cluster of temples. There are spectacular views of the mountains, some of which were snow-capped when we were there, as well as many temples all around. There are 108 steps, same number as in Buddhist rosary, leading down from this temple. Due to my vertigo, it was a challenge for me to make it down but a helpful Chinese couple walked in front of me from top to bottom. For photographers it's a great place to take stunning photos. There were crowds there but I didn't feel it detracted from the experience.See more..
There are three banks in Pingyao for visit. If you want to visit one, I recommend this one. This is not as famous as Risengchang Former Bank, but it's bigger and it has a basement. The only one you can go down to the basement to see the "gold" storage room. It's huge and massive.See more..
Don’t miss to go in you can be sure you will open your mouth more than once. Photos are forbidden, I agree because it is delicated over all the colors so please look but don’t take pictures.See more..
5.0Yongle Palace(5 reviews) - 绘画精湛,历史文化浓厚 Ancient Ruins
Yongle Palace is the largest of all Taoist temples remaining from the Yuan Dynasty. The original monastery was built between 1247-1262. It is one of the most fantastic temples in China, and the murals within, some of which were finished in 1358. If you can give this site a listing, I shall provide a thorough write-up of this amazing place, which contains some of the finest Chinese art not located in a museum. Again, I am not an official rep of this attraction. But this is a very famous site (in China) which should be listed on TripAdvisor. (ShanxiFan)See more..
5.0De Sheng Bao(5 reviews) - Great Wall living history / China’s largest fort complex Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks
Must-visit for people interested in history and culture to see remaining unrestored sections of the Great Wall and China’s largest fort cluster (see picture). The original layout contained two forts, a wool and horse market, tax office, temples etc. You can still see the 得胜堡 (Deshengbao) fort, 德胜口 (Deshengkou) gate to Inner Mongolia and remaining parts of the wall of the Datong section around 1km beyond 得胜堡village. The elderly villagers in the little town are friendly and helpful.See more..

5.0Zishou temple(4 reviews) - 非常好 Monday: 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites
5.0Yong'an Temple(4 reviews) - Must See Monday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites
Inside this finest temple you'll come across the images you would not be able to take your eyes off.. The frescos depicting the Yuan Dynasty are so rich and so engaging, and captivating in the thousands of stories they tell you. The mastery of colour and technique with which they are delivered is unque. I wish I could describe, but there are simply no words. It is bound to make your day if you happen to be in the northern Mt. Hengshan.See more..
5.0Fomu Cave(4 reviews) - Tough climb up Caverns & Caves The walk up is about 1600 steps according to our guide. Tough climb although there's option to ride on a pony for Rmb100 per pax one way. Gondola lift system is due to be completed next year as we were told. Primary attraction is a tiny hole 0f about 0.7m by 0.4m which opens up into a 1.5m by 2.2m by 1.5m (guesstimate) cavern. Legend has it that the female Buddha Tara resides in the cave. Going in and coming out of the cavern through the small opening is said to purify all negativities.See more..
5 Stars because it is part of Jinci. This is the flying bridge, the first such bridge in China. This bridge has been reconstructed so it is actually new and not 1500 years old. it is beautiful and unique, with a fish pond below it. it is at the entrance of the Sacred Mother Temple. A must see.See more..
Es un lugar muy pintoresco y colorido, la gente es muy amable Lindo y con historia Es ideal leer un poco antes de visitar, si va de su cuenta, sin guía. En nuestro caso como estamos de visita en unas fábricas sólo salimos a caminar y encontramos estas maravillosas calles ricas en colores, poco conservadas pero esa decadencia lo hace maravilloso recomendadoSee more..
5.0Taihang Canyon(3 reviews) - Beautiful valley & sightseers pathways Monday: 8:00 AM - 6:30 PM Canyons
We enjoyed walking the valley pathway and the amazingly beautiful, peaceful natural scenery. Also beautiful, are the slow flowing, emerald green waters.See more..
We go back to this town almost every year. There are 3 different historical sites to see. Very interesting. Signage is also in English at the museum and if you ask for an English translater, one is provided at no extra charge while touring the museum. I often walk the streets in this town by myself and it's very safe and locals are very friendly toward foreigners. Local food is the best. Love going there as often as we are able. See more..
