The courtyard is a fully enclosed castle-style building complex with rigorous layout, exquisite design, exquisite architecture and exquisite craftsmanship, which embodies the unique style of northern dwellings in the Qing Dynasty. Because many famous film and television dramas were filmed here, the Qiao Family Courtyard became famous.

It is an architectural art museum with traditional cultural characteristics. The building scale is hongda, and 88 courtyards have their own characteristics, none of which are similar, and form a "king" shape, which has the reputation of "folk Forbidden City".

Wang's Family Compound

Changjia Manor: a model of classical Han folk houses, which is magnificent, simple and spectacular. Changjia Manor is the largest residential building in Sanjin. The manor is almost a small city, and the main road is like a street. The existing courtyard is only a quarter of its heyday. Even so, it is already quite large. There are many brick carvings and wood carvings here, all of which are exquisite.

3.2, monuments and famous brake class

Jinci: The oldest existing royal garden in China has a long history, and there are stories in almost every place.

Yingxian Wooden Pagoda: Built in Liao Dynasty, it is known as the "Three Wonders of the World" together with the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy and the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

The mountains and valleys here are deep and the situation is dangerous. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

Hongtong pagoda tree: it is the only sacred place for people to worship with the theme of "seeking roots" and "ancestor worship" in China. At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, the population of the Central Plains dropped sharply. In order to balance the population, the court forced a large number of Shanxi people to emigrate, and the starting point at that time was Hongdong. The folk song "Ask where my home is, the pagoda tree in Hongdong, Shanxi" has been passed down from generation to generation.

3.3, landscape category

Wutai Mountain: 5A scenic spot, the first of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, and the first of the ten famous summer resorts in China. Needless to say, the famous Wutai Mountain is definitely worth a visit. It is said that Wuye Temple burns incense and wishes well.

Mount Wutai

Mianshan: A scenic spot, which is said to be the seclusion place of meson and his mother, and the birthplace of Tomb-Sweeping Day. The front mountain is dominated by human landscape, while the back mountain is dominated by natural landscape.

Hukou Waterfall: 5A scenic spot, the second largest waterfall in China and the largest yellow waterfall in the world, with huge flow and great momentum. "A pot of the Yellow River is harvested in a thousand miles", and the Yellow River is so far, the stone walls on both sides of the river stand steeply, and the estuary is as narrow as a hukou, hence the name. From Shanxi and Shaanxi Province, you can go to Hukou Waterfall and see a waterfall. There is a dragon cave on the Shanxi side, so you can go down to the bottom of the river and look up at the waterfall falling from the sky.

Hukou Waterfall

Laoniuwan: It is the place where the Great Wall shakes hands with the Yellow River, and it is one of the top ten most beautiful canyons in China. The Yellow River enters Jin from here, the Great Wall inside and outside meets here, and the Grand Canyon of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Mongolia starts here.

Wannian Ice Cave: It is the largest ice cave in China. Its magic lies in that summer is ice period, but winter is the melting period.

Hengshan Mountain: One of the Five Mountains, it is located in the border fortress and the ancient city. It is famous for its danger and is also the holy land of Quanzhen Sect, the mainstream Taoism in the world.

Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon: Located at the junction of Changzhi and Anyang, it is one of the top ten most beautiful canyons in China. The scenic spot is composed of Red Bean Gorge, Qinglong Gorge, Baquan Gorge and other canyons. The difference between these canyons is that they have their own characteristics, but they are all beautiful.

Tongtian Gorge: Located in Pingshun County, Changzhi, it is similar in style to Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon. It is said that Tongtian Gorge is very famous in Korea, which is true. I have been there twice and I can meet Korean tourists every time. When you come here, you must take a cruise ship. The cruise ship passes through the narrow canyon. The cliffs on both sides are towering and upright, and the lake is clear and green. It feels great.

Tongtian Gorge

Wangmang Ridge: It is the highest peak in the Southern Taihang Mountains. "If you don't climb Wangmang Ridge, you won't know the Taihang Mountains. There are many strange peaks in the world, so why climb five mountains?". The sea of clouds, sunrise, Qifeng, Songtao, wall-hanging highway, Hongyan Grand Canyon and three-dimensional waterfall here form the most famous natural landscape in the 800-mile Taihang Mountain.

Yuncheng Salt Lake: an ancient and typical inland saltwater lake with a salt content similar to the Dead Sea in the Middle East. People can float but not sink in the lake, so it is called "sea of death".

Qinyuan Huapo is a grassland in front of Shanxi people's homes and enjoys the reputation of "natural garden". Every autumn, leguminous flowers bloom in colorful colors, flowers are everywhere, and cattle and sheep stumble, which is refreshing. Take a tent and camp on the grass at night. It feels good. What is expensive here is the undeveloped, commercial and pure natural landscape. The disadvantage is that the road is really bad.
