I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Qiao Family Courtyard, and it was a remarkable experience that took me back in time to the Qing Dynasty. The courtyard is an impressive example of traditional Chinese architecture, with intricate wood carvings, beautifully preserved stonework, and a sense of grandeur that reflects the family’s historical wealth and prominence.

Jinshang Courtyard, like the garden in Jiangnan, is not only a mansion, but a three-dimensional book about the rise and fall of the family and the civilization of the region. In different times and spaces, these courtyards reflect the combination of the owner's taste, taste and lifestyle, and convey the precepts of poetry and ritual heirloom to future generations.

The ancient city of Pingyao "one city and two temples" is known as a world cultural heritage, and Shuanglin Temple is one of them. It is about 8 minutes' drive from the ancient city, which is the gospel of ancient construction and suspension lovers. As soon as I entered the gate, the four major kings of the Temple of Heavenly Kings were tall and mighty, and the Guanyu of the Temple of the Blue Palace was mighty and majestic. The hanging plastics on the wall showed stories such as Taoyuan Jieyi and the seven armies of water flooded, and the hanging comics. The most handsome Wei Tuo was wide-eyed, S-shaped, and the water moon Guanyin was relaxed...even there was a puppy Luo Han. All statues subtle Wei Wei, marvel at the superb skills of ancient craftsmen!

Fascinating! Surrounded by gorges on three sides and mountains on the fourth, Zhangbi is a rather large fortress complex preserved in excellent condition. Visiting this place was not unlike seeing one of Europe's famous castles. There are also extensive underground defense tunnels, an ancient weapons museum, and a Shaolin archery exhibit to see here. About an hour's drive from Pingyao Old Town, but absolutely worth the wait!
