Autumn is cool and crisp, suitable for traveling. I originally wanted to go to Yunqiu Mountain, but Shanxi’s 5A was short of it. It rained before November and the Yunqiu Mountain scenic spot was closed, so I stopped climbing and went to play around Yuncheng.
Every trip is a long-planned love, and you need to understand its cost when you fall in love. When I checked Yongle Palace on Ctrip, I found that Yuncheng has a 24-scenic spot coupon, covering most of the scenic spots in Yuncheng, and outsiders can After buying it, I also called Yongle Palace specifically to ask if the combined ticket can be used on holidays. The answer is yes, then quickly plan the route and sweep Yuncheng!
I passed by Yuncheng when I went to Huashan before. I have been to Puji Temple, Guanque Tower, and Guandi Temple in Jiezhou. Except for these three places, there are many scenic spots that I have not been to in the Yuncheng coupon. I have two days. This coupon is very cost-effective. up.
Look at the picture, this is the plan that I worked hard for a whole night. Considering that it takes more than 4 hours to go from Taiyuan on the first day, it will be noon, so there are fewer scenic spots on the first day, but we must catch up that night To the farthest Ruicheng, the accommodation should be as close as possible to Yongle Palace, so that the rest of the plan can be completed without feeling tired.
All attractions are:
Day 1: Taiyuan--Feiyun Building of Dongyue Temple--Autumn Wind Building of Houtu Temple--Li Family Courtyard--Live in Ruicheng (near Yongle Palace) Tickets for Feiyun Building are 10 yuan, not included in the joint ticket.
Day 2: Yongle Palace--Guangrenwang Temple--Changping Guandi Temple--Salt Lake--Pond Temple--Duiyun Cave
The specific implementation is that the statue of Guandi replaced the Temple of the Pond, and finally added the ancient city of Xinjiang. I went to ten scenic spots in two days, and I asked you if you were convinced?
On October 2, 2021, the four aborigines will run from places outside their own lives to places outside other people's lives. They will depart from Taiyuan at 7:30 and arrive at Wanrong Dongyue Temple at 12:00. This is the Yuncheng coupon for this trip The only scenic spot not included in the park, the ticket is 10 yuan, the car is parked in the white box on the side of the road, and there is no parking fee.
Wanrong Dongyue Temple is a Taoist building, which existed in the Tang Dynasty and is now rebuilt in the Yuan Dynasty. The most famous one is Feiyun Tower, which belongs to the four famous buildings in Shanxi. Shenlou and Qiufenglou of Houtu Temple.
The Yingxian Wooden Tower is as famous as the Eiffel Tower. In China, it is ranked second. It is estimated that no one dares to be the first. The Zoroastrian Tower is in Jiexiu. It is the only preserved Persian Zoroastrian building in the world. Qiufenglou is also in Vang Vieng, and will go there later.
Feiyun Tower is square in plane, with triple eaves and six-story eaves on the outside, as if three single buildings are stacked, magnificent and magnificent.
The appearance of Feiyun Building is magnificent and changeable. Inside the building, 4 pillars connecting to the sky are used as the backbone of the structure of the building body. Between each floor, there are multiple layers of slabs connected with each other and tied inside and outside to form a huge square tube frame. It shows the unique plastic arts of Chinese pavilion-style buildings.
The Dongyue Temple is not big, and it took about 40 minutes to look carefully. When I went out to eat, I found that the street was a bit sluggish. Many restaurants posted notices of transfer. This is the 11th Golden Week!
After dinner, go to Houtu Temple, which is more than 30 kilometers away, about 40 minutes by car.
Arrive at Houtu Temple after 3 o'clock, Houtu Temple is in the Yuncheng Coupon, scan your ID card to enter
Houtu Temple is located on the east bank of the Yellow River. It is the oldest temple on the land of China dedicated to Houtu Nuwa. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the place where the emperors of all dynasties worshiped. The Yellow River flooded, washed away and rebuilt several times. Our Lady of Houtu is the oldest ancestor of China. So she is the source of Chinese ancestor culture.
Does the word Houtu in Houtu Temple refer to Emperor Tian Houtu, and thus become a special name for heaven and earth?
There are five tiger halls in the east and west of the courtyard—the east five tiger hall and the west five tiger hall.
The five great emperors of the Five Sacred Mountains are enshrined in the East Five Tiger Hall: Dongyue Emperor Huang Feihu, Nanyue Emperor Chong Heihu, Zhongyue Emperor Wenpin, Beiyue Emperor Cui Ying, and Xiyue Emperor Jiang Xiong.
The Temple of the West Five Tigers enshrines the five tiger generals of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong.
Temples dedicated to the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Kingdom are really rare. I don’t know how they broke into our camp?
Qiufeng Building is located at the end of Houtu Temple, standing by the river, majestic and magnificent. A stele on the upper floor is engraved with the "Autumn Wind Song" written by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so the Qiufeng Tower got its name and became famous all over the world.
The gate of the city tower is opened, and the east says "Zhan Lu" and the west says "Wang Qin". The south gate is the main entrance for climbing the tower.
The Qiufeng Building was built by the magistrate of Ronghe County in the Qing Dynasty to commemorate the poems written by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
One hour is enough to play in Houtu Temple, leave after 4 o'clock, and arrive at Li's courtyard at 5 o'clock.
The parking lot of the Li Family Courtyard is not small, and it is also free parking. I don’t know whether it is free on holidays or on weekdays. It is not possible to use the combined ticket to enter the door and directly swipe the ID card. You need to change the ticket at the ticket gate to enter.
The Li Family Courtyard was the residence of Li Zi, the richest man in southern Shanxi from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. It was first built in the Qing Dynasty, and together with the Qiao Family Courtyard and the Wang Family Courtyard, it is called "Sandi Lian of Shanxi Merchants".
The introduction introduces that the Li family took traditional agriculture as the foundation of their family, and gradually entered the field of commerce and trade. They started with homemade cloth, and later invested in modern industrial enterprises, thus turning from agriculture to business, and then to national capitalists.
The Li family started out with homemade cloth, using righteousness to control profit, and benefit and righteousness to help each other. For generations, "wealthy but not arrogant, rich but not extravagant, rich but benevolent".
This is the main street of the Li Family Courtyard. The overall building of the Li Family Courtyard is a shaft-style Shanxi courtyard house that gathers wealth. At the same time, it absorbs the Hui-style architectural style. Because Li Ziyong once studied in the UK, some courtyards are "Gothic" buildings. , is a compound of Shanxi merchants who integrate the north and the south, combine the Chinese and the western, and are unparalleled in the three Jin Dynasties.
The exquisite gatehouse condenses the profound heritage of Han traditional culture and has extremely high cultural and artistic value.
At 7 o'clock, I found that there are more and more tourists, and the ticket checkers at the gate have long disappeared. It turns out that it is free after 6 o'clock, and there are more performances at night. There are many night markets inside. Blessed are the locals!
In this way, the Qiao Family Courtyard, the Chang Family Courtyard, the Wang Family Courtyard, and the Li Family Courtyard have all been there. By comparison, the Wang Family Courtyard is the largest, and the layout is shocking. It was built on the hillside to present a huge "Wang" character. The Chang family is about the same size as the Li family, and the Qiao family compound is the smallest, but it can't stand to be famous!
Put your luggage and go downstairs to eat. The street is very lively. It is almost 9 o'clock in the evening and there are many people entering the restaurant. Is Ruicheng so much more prosperous than Wanrong?
October 3rd
Get up at 6:30, there are many scenic spots to go today, after packing up and eating, we will arrive at Yongle Palace at 8:00.
Yongle Palace, named after its original site in Yongle Town, is also known as Dachunyang Longevity Palace. It was first built in the Yuan Dynasty, and the construction period was more than 110 years. The walls inside the palace are covered with murals.
Due to the flooding of the original site of the Sanmenxia Hydropower Station, Premier Zhou specially approved funds to relocate to the east of Longquan Village in Ruicheng County.
The main buildings of the existing Yongle Palace are a gate and three halls, the first gate is the Dragon and Tiger Hall, which is the Wuji Gate, and the three halls are the Sanqing Hall, the Chunyang Hall and the Chongyang Hall.
In the 1950s, craftsmen spent a full ten years relocating these buildings and murals. During the Cultural Revolution, the Prime Minister personally intervened and protected them with armed forces, and they were not damaged again.
Sanqing Hall, also known as Wuji Hall, is a shrine dedicated to "Taiqing, Jade, and Shangqing Yuanshi Tianzun", and is the main hall of Yongle Palace.
The Chongyang Hall is dedicated to Wang Chongyang, the leader of the Quanzhen School of Taoism, and his disciples "Seven Real Men". In the hall, the story of Wang Chongyang from his birth to his enlightenment as the "seven real people" is described in the form of comic strips. It is said that Wang Chongyang met Lu Dongbin in Zhongnan Mountain to build the tomb of the living dead and cultivated to become a fairy. It seems that what Jin Yong said in "The Legend of Condor Heroes" is true, but did he meet Xiaolongnv?
The murals are not allowed to take pictures. There are more than 200 immortals densely painted all around. The 8 main immortals are all over 3 meters high. The huge Chinese chapter is second to none in China. The security guard is very proud to explain it to us. This is to grab the tour guide Rice bowl?
The murals of Yongle Palace are all over the four main halls, also known as "Chaoyuan Picture", which depicts the scene of the immortals worshiping Yuanshi Tianzun:
The two gods of green dragon and white tiger are the forerunners, and the eight main gods, including the Antarctic longevity fairy and the Queen Mother of the West, are surrounded by thunder gods, lightning mothers, star gods from all directions, dragons, snakes, monkeys and many other gods, as well as generals, warriors, jade girls, etc. Serving by the side, nearly 300 gods in the whole picture marched in the same direction, forming a torrent of pilgrimage.
There is another courtyard next to it, which introduces how craftsmen moved the buildings and murals of Yongle Palace over ten years.
After watching Yongle Palace for more than an hour, Guangrenwang Temple is 3 kilometers behind, and it takes less than ten minutes to drive.
Guangrenwang Temple, Wutai Nanchan Temple, Foguang Temple, and Pingshun Tiantai Nunnery are the only four remaining Tang Dynasty buildings in China.
Guangrenwang Temple is also called "Wulong Temple" because of the Wulong Spring gushing out from the front of the temple foundation.
, This is the temple dedicated to the God of Longquan "King Guangren" - Guangrenwang Temple. The architecture of the Tang Dynasty ranks second after Nanchan Temple.
The main hall faces south and was built in the fifth year of Dahe in Tang Dynasty (831). It has five bays, four rafters and three bays in depth.
The stage opposite Guangrenwang Temple is a Qing Dynasty building, which is integrated with the main hall, forming a complete courtyard-shaped temple building.
The stele of the Tang Dynasty is "King Guangren's Longquan Ji", which is majestic and beautiful, and records in detail the deeds of the county magistrate Yu Gong digging water from the Longquan to irrigate the farmland.
In this way, I have been to the top three Chinese architectural ages. Let’s compare:
In terms of construction age, they are Nanchan Temple, Guangrenwang Temple and Foguang Temple.
Judging from the scale, it is Foguang Temple and Nanchan Temple. Guangrenwang Temple
In terms of artistic value, it is Foguang Temple and Nanchan Temple. Guangrenwang Temple
Liang Sicheng believes that Foguang Temple is the number one national treasure in China. The single building of the East Hall is magnificent, and the temple eaves are exaggerated to spread its wings, which is very shocking.
The Guangren Wang Temple can be visited in ten minutes. It departs at 9:30 and arrives at the Guan Gong Sacred Scenic Spot at 10:30.
This scenic spot was not included in the planned itinerary. The next scenic spot should be Guandi Temple in Changping, just passing by the statue of Guan Gong (only 2 kilometers away from Changping Guandi Temple), and it is in the Yuncheng joint ticket.
Don’t miss it when passing by. On Zhongtiao Mountain is the largest bronze statue of Guan Gong in China (the statue is 61 meters high, indicating that Guan Yu lived to be 61 years old, and the base is 19 meters high, indicating that Guan Yu got married and started a business at the age of 19, totaling 80 meters). Just right.
There is a parking fee of 10 yuan at the gate. This is the only place that has charged parking fees in the past two days. Afterwards, it is also free to park in the city of Salt Lake. Yuncheng is so conscientious!
There are many Guandi temples in China, five of which are the most important, and two are in Yuncheng, his hometown.
Jiezhou Guandi Temple is his ancestral temple (I have been there before, but I won’t go this time). It is very large, and most tourists will go there.
Changping Guandi Temple is his family temple, which is dedicated to his family. It is only 10 kilometers away from Jiezhou Guandi Temple.
His head was buried in Guanlin, Luoyang. Sun Quan dedicated Guan Yu's head to Cao Cao in order to deepen the hatred between Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Cao Cao was frightened and buried Guan Yu's head generously.
Dangyang Guan Mausoleum is the place where Guan Yu's body is buried, so Guan Gong said that "the head rests in Luoyang, and the body is trapped in Dangyang".
As Guan Yu's base camp, Chengdu cannot be absent. Chengdu is Guan Yu's tomb.
The hometown of King Guan was built in the Ming Dynasty. There are four pillars and three gates. Under the pillars, there are foundation stones covered with lotus pillars, and lying lions are carved on the corners of the foundation stones.
The Holy Ancestor Hall was rebuilt in the year of Qianlong. It is three rooms wide and four rafters deep, with a single eaves hanging from the top of the mountain. The statues of Guan Gong's first ancestor, three generations of grandfathers and his wife on the Buddhist altar in the hall are the only ones seen in domestic martial arts temples.
Only when you arrive at the Guandi Temple in Changping, can you understand what it means to be a chicken and dog ascending to heaven (I am an atheist, please don’t spray me). It takes less than an hour to visit the Guandi Temple in Changping. It is only a dozen kilometers away from the salt lake, half an hour By car, come out for dinner at 12:30, and arrive at Salt Lake at 2:00.
Yuncheng Salt Lake is one of the three largest sodium sulfate inland salt lakes in the world. Because its salt content is similar to the "Dead Sea" in the Middle East, people can float in the water without sinking, so it is known as "China's Dead Sea".
Yuncheng Salt Lake is an ancient and typical inland saltwater lake. The east salt lake has a long history and a long history. The earliest development and utilization of Yanchi in Yuncheng by the ancients has a history of more than 4,000 years.
At the beginning of Tang Dynasty, salt production method of reclamation and watering in the sun appeared in Hedong Salt Pond, also known as five-step salt production method. This is a major advance in salt production technology. The quality and quantity of Lu salt in Yuncheng Yanchi have been greatly improved, and it has now become an intangible cultural heritage of Yuncheng.
The emergence of the "five-step salt production method" has transformed the natural production mode of salt lakes that have relied on "sun exposure, natural crystallization, and intensive labor and fishing" for thousands of years into "collecting brine and evaporating, passing through 'baskets' for deployment, storing brine, Crystallization, shoveling out" salt production method, which is called "five-step salt production method".
There is nothing to see in the salt lake, half an hour is enough, and the next step is to go to the nearby pool temple.
With the mining of the salt industry, the phenomenon of red salt self-generation was discovered in the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Tang Dynasty heard that Longyan was very happy, and specially issued an edict to confer the title of "Lingqing Gong" on the God of Chi. And it was appointed to build a temple on the bank of Yanchi for worship. This is the Yunchengchi Temple founded in the Tang Dynasty.
The bullet was loaded and shot towards Duiyun Cave.
Duiyun Cave is located on the mound of Jiwang Mountain in Xia County, with ravines on both sides nearly 100 meters deep. Because cumulus clouds surround the hills after the rain and the cave door is sealed with clouds, it is called "Duiyun Cave".
Because its appearance resembles the Potala Palace in Tibet, Duiyun Cave is also called "Little Potala Palace".
Duiyun Cave is a Taoist temple. Its construction began in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was added and expanded successively in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
In 1928, the Hedong Special Committee of the Communist Party of China was established here, and it has been secretly operating here for ten years, so this place can be called the cradle of the revolution in southern Shanxi.
Emperor Zhenwu, also known as Xuantian God and Xuanwu Emperor, is the God of the North in Han myths and legends.
The Sanqing Hall is dedicated to the Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and the Taiqing Daode Tianzun, namely the Taishang Laojun.
Duiyun cave has a rigorous layout and ingenious design, with pavilions, terraces and attics adapted to local conditions, well-proportioned, grand in scale and magnificent in momentum.
The ancient poem of Duiyun Cave: The winding spiral rises step by step, and the blue clouds will soar with one step. Looking back at the approaching place, it is already away from the 12th floor of Qionglou. Sure enough, the ingenuity is amazing, the wisdom of the ancients is infinite.
Duiyun Cave is not big, and it takes less than an hour to play slowly, and it is less than 4 o'clock when we come out. It is a pity to go back to the house, so let's go back to Taiyuan and visit the ancient city of Xinjiang by the way.
When I arrived in Xinjiang at 5 o'clock, I could not see the end of the high-speed cart like a snail steak. When I arrived in the county, there were so many small cars that it was difficult to find a parking space.
The county is not big, and there are many historical sites, which are scattered and need to be searched slowly.
Longxing Temple is located on the high cliff at the top of Chengbei Street in Xinjiang County. It was first built in Tang Dynasty. Because there is a statue of Biluotian in it, it is named Biluoguan.
Tickets for Longxing Temple are not included in the Yuncheng joint ticket, tickets are 10 yuan, and climbing towers are 5 yuan. I asked the old man at the gate why there were so many people and cars on the street, and the old man said that the Town God Temple was holding a temple fair.
Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin once lived here, so Biluo Temple was changed to Longxing Temple.
Behind the Daxiong Palace is the Longxing Pagoda, which was first built in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it is called "Eight-Party Law".
There is an iron gourd on the top of the tower, and the God of Longxing Pagoda is on the iron gourd on the top of the tower. Generally, when people build the pagoda, they will bury the treasures of the town pagoda, the relics of the Buddha, and the rare gold and silver. The Longxing Pagoda puts treasures on the top of the pagoda, which is its brilliance.
After watching Longxing Temple, let's also experience the temple fair in the county
The Town God's Temple is about 500 meters away, and it will be there in a while.
The Xinjiang Town God's Temple was first built in the Ming Dynasty, and it is now rebuilt according to the original picture.
Eat snacks leisurely at the temple fair. Dongzao here is really cheap, 10 yuan for 6 catties, and Taiyuan costs 5 yuan to 10 yuan per catty.
Depart at 7:00, return home smoothly at 11:00 pm, challenge the limit, ten attractions in two days, perfect!
