I was planning to go out for a few days during the Spring Festival. I read the weather forecast and said that it was snowing in most parts of Shanxi on the third and fourth day of junior high school. I found an accurate forecast on the Internet, and it was accurate to what time and situation. I saw that the snow began to snow at 9:00 p.m. on the fifth day of the south of Taiyuan. I read a lot of forecasts, so I can only go to short-distance places. I will go back on the same day. .
On February 9, 2019, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, my wife and I set off at 7 o'clock. There were few people on the road, and we arrived at Mianshan smoothly at 9:30.
Mianshan is a 5A-level tourist attraction and the birthplace of the Chinese Ching Ming Festival (Cold Food Festival).
Mianshan Mountain originated in the Spring and Autumn Period. Jie Zitui and his mother lived in seclusion in the Jin Dynasty and were burned on the mountain. Therefore, Mianshan Mountain is also called Jieshan Mountain. There were temple buildings as early as the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Among the Mianshan architectural complexes, religious buildings include temples; garden buildings include pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions, pavilions, corridors, pavilions, and archways; ancient relics include ancient camp gates, city pools, and camps.
Mianshan is very large, and there are 14 major scenic spots in the front mountain and the back mountain: Longtou Temple, Longji Ridge, Li Guyan, Fengfang Spring, Daluo Palace, Tianqiao, Yidou Spring, Zhujiawa, Yunfeng Temple, Zhengguo Temple, Jiegong Ridge ;Natural landscape: Qixian Valley, Guteng Valley, Shuitaogou. It takes more than 3 days to complete all the tours. Generally, one-day tours choose the three most representative scenic spots, Daluo Palace, Yunfeng Temple, and Shuitaogou.
Tickets for Mianshan are 110 yuan in peak season, 90 yuan in off-season, free for residents of Pingyao, Jiexiu, and Lingshi during the Spring Festival, 50 yuan for Shanxi residents with ID cards, and 50 yuan per person for transportation in scenic spots. In fact, this is very cost-effective. Traffic vehicles pass through several scenic spots from the gate, and drive to Shuitaogou, where they are beckoned to stop.
There are not many people at the main gate of Mianshan today.
The traffic car drives to the middle of the mountain and travels along the long waistline. Some drivers will stop at every stop, while others will always pull you to Shuitaogou at the end. The reason why we say this is because of our situation have come across. . . . .
It is very useful to look at this stop sign, which clearly shows the order of the attractions you will pass by by car.
In fact, I did my homework online before leaving. I knew that we should visit Daluo Palace, Yunfeng Temple, and Shuitaogou in the order, but our driver pulled him to Yunfeng Temple in one breath, and passed Longtou Temple, Daluo Palace and other scenic spots in the middle without stopping. I thought that was the case. of it. Let's walk back to Daluo Palace from Yunfeng Temple.
The parking lot of Yunfeng Temple, the traffic car is pulled here directly. Then climb up from here.
Yunfeng Temple is located in the hinterland of Mianshan Mountain, also known as Baofu Temple. It was built during the Zhenguan period of Tang Dynasty, rebuilt in Ming Dynasty, and repaired repeatedly during Qing Dynasty.
The buildings in the temple are divided into upper and lower floors due to the direction of the terrain, with different orientations and staggered heights. The high places are all built with suspended plank roads to connect the various temples.
The temple is close to the recessed rock, and it is uncanny.
The Longchi on the mountain must be a spring in summer.
The temples are connected in various ways.
Looking down from the top of the temple
Someone climbed down the iron chain from above, and I would not dare to lend me ten courage. be afraid. . . .
We only walked half way to the stairway to Zhengguo Temple on the top of the mountain, dizzy, and returned the same way.
After getting down, stop the car and go to Daluo Palace. On the way, you can see the beautiful scenery of Zhujiaao, so get off the car.
Wow, it's a long climbing ladder again. I'm sighing at the ladder, don't climb it, and take a ride to Daluo Palace!
The car only sat for one stop, saw that the overpass was good, and got off at the overpass again.
very nice looking
start climbing the steps
It is said that Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang practiced the cave, but it is not known whether it is true or not.
Whoa, flyover! The Tianqiao is a strange plank road in the clouds with a length of more than 300 meters and a width of less than 1 meter.
The stone pillar opposite seems to be an elevator
It's spectacular, isn't it?
There is not only the miraculous scene of the Mianshan Dragon King turning into a Bolong standing on the cliff, and the rabbit helping the eminent monk Zhichao to pass the cliff, but also Shilezhai, the most dangerous military fortress in China, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin built it to thank the Taishang Laojun The Palace of the Cave God.
Various gods are enshrined in various temples in Mianshan. After a brief look, it seems that there is nothing missing. . . .
Now I can finally go to Daluo Palace, and there is only one stop by car to return to Daluo Palace.
The name of Daluo Palace in Mianshan comes from Jie Zitui, a famous hermit in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is said that Jie Zitui once lived in seclusion in Mianshan with his mother and saw the highest realm of Taoism, "Daluo Wonderland", "on the top of Sanqing, there is Yujing Mountain, and there are seven treasure trees covering the eight directions of Luotian, called Daluo".
The Daluo Palace is at the top of the elevator (the red one), it seems that we have to climb the mountain again!

This is the first floor of Da Luo Palace.
The Daluo Palace has a total of 6 floors, which should be a modern building. The picture above represents the purpose of each floor.
This is the second floor, with carved beams and painted buildings.
look down like this
the temple below
After visiting the Daluo Palace, it was 12 o'clock at noon. We had dinner below and took a bus to Shuitaogou.
The car came, we waved and got on the car, the car was full of people who had just arrived from the mountain gate, but no one got off the car, and the driver didn't report the stop, this car only picked up the two of us halfway, and pulled the whole car with tourists When I arrived at the end of Shuitaogou, I was very surprised, the car was full of people passing by so many scenic spots, so I don’t know how to get off?
Shuitaogou parking lot, here is the end point, it seems that there are several scenic spots here.

The children are not tired after walking
After playing around 2 o'clock, take the car. This driver must stop at every stop. This is the first scenic spot in Mianshan, Longtou Temple. I am tired and don't want to get out of the car. I took a photo in the car.
Longtou Temple
After leaving the scenic spot at 2:40, we arrived at Zhangbi Castle in more than ten minutes. The road from Mianshan to Zhangbi Ancient Castle should be newly built. The road condition is very good. It looks like a special road, and it will be there in a short time.
Zhangbi Ancient Castle is a 4a scenic spot. It is a relatively complete ancient pocket "castle" in China that integrates military, residence, production, astrology, and religious activities. There are many cultural relics and historic sites such as the tombs of the Jin Dynasty, the stage of the Yuan Dynasty, and the folk houses of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially the ancient tunnels of the Northern Dynasty, which are rare in the country.
The entire village of Zhangbi Ancient Castle was built in accordance with the traditional Chinese astrology and geomancy concepts, and the ground layout corresponds to the twenty-eight stars in the sky. Therefore, Zhangbi Ancient Castle is also known as "the first village of Chinese astrology". Of course, the most famous here is authentic!
The ticket is 50 yuan, which seems to be cheaper at other times. During the Spring Festival, there are temple fairs and lantern festivals, and the ticket price is more expensive.
Arrived at 3 o'clock, the outside of the castle is bustling
The castle is to be entered through this door, I wonder if it is the only door?
It's performing a three-section stick inside
The entrance of the tunnel is singing, I don't understand it.
Going down the tunnel. . . .
It is very long, going up and down for a while, it is said that there are three floors, and the height is about 1.8 meters. Full soil wall.
Some lights are hung at the exit of the tunnel

Next to the temple fair, also in the castle
Earth Temple, go through this doorway and go to the temple fair site
It must be nice to turn on the lights at night, but unfortunately I had to go back at night, and it started snowing at 9:00 p.m., and it turned out that I was right. It snowed and blocked the highway the next day. . . .
The temple fair scene is generally like this in the temple fairs across the country, just eat some snacks, have some children's playgrounds and so on. . . . . .
When I came out at 5 o'clock, the Pingyao section and the Taiyuan section of the mother's highway were stuck in traffic, and I didn't get home until 8 o'clock.
