Choses à faire à Fenyang

Amazed by the incredible interlocking wooden joints of Yingxian Wooden Pagoda! 🏯🤯Built almost 1,000 years ago, this ancient masterpiece was constructed without relying on modern nails and steel structures. The precision of the traditional wooden joinery is simply mind-blowing. Standing at a height of 67 meters, you can literally see it from afar.

祆神楼是我国保留为数不多的外教神楼，其原因是建设这座楼的主人是一位历史名人，再者后来地方政府加以保护，得以让人们领略异域神教楼宇形态。

Nice museum. Very easy to get around. A lot of artifacts and they have special exhibits ok the ground floor. Was unfortunate to visit the museum on a very busy day. So it was quite packed

Henan is the cradle of Chinese civilization. Known as the Central Plains (中原), it is where the earliest dynasties, writing systems, bronze technology, and organized states first emerged. The fertile soil of the Yellow River nurtured farming communities as early as 5000 BCE, laying the foundation for Chinese culture.Luoyang, in Henan, is historically celebrated as the Ancient Capital of Luoyang was once the capital of 13 dynasties, and the wealth of artifacts unearthed from the city is immense. The Luoyang Museum alone houses nearly 200,000 relics. On my final day in Luoyang, I chose to visit this institution. Admission is free, but I was taken aback by the long queue at the entrance when I arrived at 8:30 a.m. Fortunately, even without registering through the online app, I was allowed entry by presenting my passport.The museum is organized into eight galleries:Heluo Civilization GalleryTreasure GalleryTang Sancai GalleryCeramics GalleryCalligraphy & Painting GalleryStone Carving GalleryFolk Art GalleryBronze GalleryChinese bronzes are particularly distinctive. Unlike Europe’s utilitarian bronzes, those in China were primarily ceremonial, used in ancestral rites. Monumental vessels such as the 司母戊鼎 (Si Mu Wu Fang Ding) weigh over 800 kg — unmatched anywhere else. Bronze culture endured in China far longer than in other regions, deeply shaping later dynasties. This is why museums like Henan and Luoyang emphasize bronzes as cultural treasures rather than mere technological artifacts.It is an eye opening trip seeing the artifacts excavated from the 13 dynasties.

忻州古城位于山西省，是保存特别好古城。忻州古城不仅有优美的景色，还有厚重的历史，更有淳朴的民风。离国家级5A级风景区五台山距离很近。忻州古城的美食很多，价格公道，值得推荐，下次还去玩！

非常不错，值得去看看，不愧是行孝仗义，包容大气，气势如虹

Only stayed one night. But was still able to appreciate the ancient structure. Late night walk around the shops is a must. Autumn/spring would be a great visit to avoid walking under the scorching sun.

走进广府古城，仿佛穿越了时空，踏入了一座古老的梦境。这座位于河北邯郸的古城，已有2600多年的历史，被誉为“北国小江南”。漫步在古城内，街道纵横交错，四大街、八小街、七十二条小巷道，处处透着古朴的气息。城内的杨露禅故居和武禹襄故居是太极文化的发源地，两位太极宗师的故居保存完好，让人感受到太极文化的深厚底蕴。登上古城墙，视野豁然开朗。城墙高12米、宽8米，四周环绕着宽阔的护城河，河面波光粼粼，荷花盛开的季节更是美不胜收。沿着城墙漫步，可以俯瞰整个古城的风貌，感受这座古城的历史韵味。城外的弘济桥也值得一游，这座古桥与赵州桥齐名，被誉为“姊妹桥”，桥上的浮雕精美绝伦。此外，毛遂墓、黑龙潭等景点也充满了历史的厚重感。广府古城不仅有丰富的历史遗迹，还有独特的美食。永年酥鱼、广府缯肘、南糖等特色小吃，让人回味无穷。在这里，时间仿佛慢了下来，每一步都能感受到历史的沉淀。广府古城，是一座活着的古城，每一砖每一瓦都诉说着古老的故事。

Yass!!! I went to visit my friends in Shijiazhuang and they took me to eat and to sightsee in Zhengding! I really enjoyed so much the amazing quiet and peaceful ancient city there is so much to see; the ancient temple, the streets, city wall, lots of different towers! We came early ~ later there were so many tourists as we were leaving the temple. Highly recommend!

As a vinegar lover, this was an amazing visit for me. Never knew vinegar could come from many different beans. Was able to taste vinegar from different years. I highly suggest trying the vinegar ice cream, it wasn't the best for me, but it was great to try.
