Gifted RulerI 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.

For example, in the Anti-Japanese War Exhibition Hall, when there are many people, the door of each room cannot be turned. Overall, the Jinshang Museum is a place worth visiting, which can let people understand the culture of Jinshang and the history of Shanxi, but it is recommended to avoid the peak period of crowds as much as possible.
