Historical Taiyuan

Start the day with a visit to Shanxi Museum, the largest museum in the province dedicated to preservation and research of more than 200,000 Shanxi cultural relics  - a fascinating introducton to the rich history of Shanxi (closed on Mondays).

Step into the Jin Ancestral Temple, founded in Tang Dynasty about 1,400 years ago as one of the earliest royal garden in China. It is the most prominent temple in Shanxi, with its architectures, murals and sculptures of Tang Dynasty recognised to be an invaluable treasure to Chinese arts and history.

Afterwards, enjoy a leisure stroll in the Food Street of Taiyuan and indulge in the local snacks of Shanxi.
