    The imperial city Xiangfu, built by the inner city (Chen's Ming Dynasty family old house), the outer city is built by Chen Tingjing. Old house: Zhongdaozhuang, Chen Tingjing is the Qing Kangxi Emperor, the imperial gift of the "Wuting Mountain Village" (Chen Tingjing, the evening number: Wuting), and because Kangxi Emperor stayed in Wuting Mountain Village twice, the folk called it: Huangcheng. From Zhongdaozhuang to Wuting Mountain Village to the Imperial City, the evolution of the name combines historical allusions and emperor favors, plus Chen's old house is the house of the high officials of the Ming Dynasty Shangshu. The building of the imperial city is magnificent, reflecting the cultural status and political influence of the Chen family in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Visit the old place of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is now a national tourist attraction.

    Situ Town: A thousand-year-old Shanxi folk feast booked the itinerary of Situ Town on Trip.com . I originally just had the mentality of walking around and watching flowers. I didn’t expect to have an immersive experience that exceeded expectations. This small town hidden in Jincheng, Shanxi. Like a three-dimensional folk encyclopedia, people can't help but read it carefully. Step into the town, blue bricks and gray tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, the simple building instantly pulls the time back to thousands of years ago. On both sides of the street, blacksmith shops, dyeing workshops, wine shops and other traditional workshops are full of craftsmen, and the figure of craftsmen is intertwined with ancient craftsmanship, exuding a strong fireworks. Here, you can not only watch the production process, but also experience it yourself. I tried to print it, when the ancient text and patterns are clearly presented on the paper, the wonderful feeling of dialogue with history comes into play. The soul of the town is hidden in a wonderful performance. The must-see "See Old Shanxi" broke the boundaries of the traditional stage. The audience travels through different scenes with the plot, and experience the magnificent history of Shanxi in a 360 degree immersive manner. The hardships of the west exit, the legend of Jin merchants, the actors have a very infectious performance, with shocking sound and photoelectric special effects, people seem to be in it, for the tenacity and wisdom of Shanxi ancestors tears. Another "millennium iron soul" is also a case of the absolute, national-level non-legacy "Iron Flower" blooming in the night sky, 1600 ℃ iron water hit into a star shower, such as the golden dragon dance, meteor fall, fire tree silver flower magnificent picture, bring direct impact on the visual impact of the soul. Food is also a highlight of Situ Town. From the familiar Shanxi knife noodles, Pingyao beef, to the niche Yangcheng roast liver, Gaoping ten bowls, the street food stalls and restaurants, each mouthful is full of Shanxi flavor. I sat in the antique restaurant, tasted the smooth noodles of the glutinous, pouring a strong brine, and then a mellow old vinegar, the taste buds were instantly awakened, making people call. The fly in the ointment is that there are many tourists in the holiday town, and some popular performances and food stalls need to wait in line, which to a certain extent affects the experience; some small attractions are slightly less interesting, and there is more ornamental but insufficient interaction. But these small flaws can't hide the charm of Situ Town. If you are eager to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and feel the charm of traditional culture, Situ Town is definitely worth a visit. Whether it is history lovers, food lovers, or parents who want to bring their children to experience folk customs, they can find their own fun here, it is an unforgettable travel experience!

    I waited for the rain to stop and decided to go up the mountain to see it. I really spent the ticket money to see a white wall and I couldn't see anything! I didn't see anything! I really regret it, I should insist that the weather is bad and I would rather pass the door than enter! ! !

    Xiangyu Castle, built for masonry and earth structure, was built by the Ming Dynasty Household Department Shangshu Sun Juxiang and Sun Dingxiang brothers, completed in Ming Chongxu seven years, is a typical representative of China's Ming Dynasty fortifications. The Xiangqi Ancient Fort was built on the hillside. The ancient castle city was built with a maze of "bead-like" and "corridor-style" Tibetan soldiers caves, which were extremely beautiful. Especially the Xiangqi Ancient Fort Labyrinth-style Tibetan soldiers caves and underground passages, which were easy to guard and difficult to attack. Li Zicheng was unable to overcome for seven days and seven nights. Its strength was amazing! The large number of Tibetan caves seems to be silently telling the past bonfire years, full of a heavy sense of history. There is also a unique architectural form like a honeycomb, which is very visual and impressive.
