    Jinshang Museum has won many praises from tourists, the following is a comprehensive review of it: ### Advantage 1. **Beautiful architecture and landscape**: Jinshang Museum is based on the former site of Shanxi Dujunfu. The architectural style here is unique, with antique pavilions and darts, solemn and elegant. The scarlet columns complement the blue-gray bricks and tiles, telling the vicissitudes and precipitation of the years. There are also landscapes such as the West Garden in the courtyard. The scenery is beautiful. For example, when the trees are shaded in June, the Yuanyi Hall of Biwa Zhuxuan is more magnificent under the green trees of the blue sky. The night view after the lights are also very beautiful at night. It is a good place to study and relax. 2. **Deep cultural heritage**: It is a local cultural and historical museum integrating cultural relics, garden landscapes and exhibitions, and the display content is mainly based on the history of Jin merchants and the commercial culture created by Jin merchants. Many unearthed cultural relics are on display in the museum, with more than 2,000 pieces in the collection, and 120,000 pieces in the exhibition. You can visit the source flow of Jin merchants, the sea and the world, and the world of Huitong. From the collection of cultural relics with great historical research value, you can revisit the historical vein and trajectory of Jin merchants' development, and witness the brilliant achievements of Jin merchants in 9,000 miles across Europe and Asia and 500 years of Xiong business. 3. **The spirit of education is strong**: Jinshang spirit is a highlight of its, through the visit can let people perceive the spirit of Jinshang from different angles.

In addition, the Shanxi Anti-Japanese War Hall of the Museum has reproduced the spirit of the military and civilian bathing in blood, tenacious struggle and victory of the battle under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, which has a strong educational significance. 4. **Multiple functions**: Jinshang Museum integrates collection, exhibitions, deliberations, reception, outreach and other functions, which are suitable for tourists to visit, and also suitable for relevant organizations to carry out learning and exchange activities, such as Taiyuan Garden Science and Creation Service Center, The Institute of Statistics and other organizations organize personnel to visit and study. ### Disadvantages have been reflected by tourists, some exhibition halls of Jinshang Museum have narrow rooms (because they used to be government offices), which is easy to cause congestion when there are more tourists, affecting the tour experience. 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.

    The ancient city of Zhangzhou is located in Shanxi Province, and it is a particularly well-preserved ancient city. The ancient city of Zhangzhou not only has beautiful scenery, but also a heavy history, and a simple folk customs. It is very close to Wutai Mountain, a national scenic spot of 5A. There are a lot of food in the ancient city of Zhangzhou, the price is fair, it is recommended, and I will go to play next time!
