Hometown of Guan Gong ---- Yuncheng

This trip to the southwestern part of Shanxi, Yuncheng City is used as a transfer station. Yuncheng City was called "Hedong" in ancient times. It was named after "City of Salt Transport" and is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization. The ancestors of the Chinese nation, Huangdi, Yandi, Chiyou, Yao, Shun, and Yu, all successively moved on the land of Hedong. The capital of Yao was Puban at the beginning, and later it was moved to Pingyang. Puban was the capital of Shun, and Anyi was the capital of Yu. The first slavery society in China——Xia was also born here. Shang Yidun, a wealthy businessman in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhou Bo, the marquis of the Han Dynasty, Guan Yu, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, Wang Tong, a philosopher and educator in the Sui Dynasty, Wang Bo, the head of the "Four Masters" in the early Tang Dynasty, Liu Zongyuan, one of the eight great masters of ancient prose in the Tang and Song Dynasties, Tang Xuanzong's favorite concubine Yang Yuhuan, generals Xue Rengui, Zhang Shousi, famous politician and historian Sima Guang in Song Dynasty, etc. are all historical figures in this city.

The transportation network in Yuncheng is also relatively developed, including Yuncheng Zhangxiao Airport, Yuncheng North Station (high-speed rail station), and Yuncheng Railway Station. The one-hour economic circle connecting the urban highways of Yuncheng City to all counties and cities has been formed, and it is the first project in Shanxi Province to realize the asphalt road project for every village.

The Nanfeng Square in the center of the city, named after "Song of the South Wind", is located at the intersection of East Street, Renmin Road, and Yudu Avenue in Yuncheng City. It covers an area of 200 acres, 320 meters wide from east to west, and 380 meters long from north to south. It was first called "China". Emperor Yu Shun, one of the "Three Kings", faced the vast salt pond, and he couldn't help singing: "When the south wind blows, it can relieve our people's depression; when the south wind blows, it can enrich our people's wealth!" Song of the South Wind. It sends a message to the heavens, wishing the people to obtain health and wealth, and Nanfeng Square is named after its implication.

This is the Home Inn Neo (Yuncheng Hongqi East Street Branch) where we stayed. It just opened this year and the conditions are relatively good. The first night is more than 120 yuan, and the second night is more than 150 yuan. I will give you a reference .

Home Inns

Like a home hotel, the bathroom is separated from wet and dry.

Home Inn also has a gym

There are mints and bottled water on each floor of the stairs in Home Inns.

The restaurant next to the lobby of the Home Inn Hotel, breakfast is 20 yuan per person, there are not many varieties but it is okay.

Hotel rooftop view

I had to fly home at 20, and I planned to stay at Home Inns, because it was Sunday, but the price rose to more than 250 yuan (excluding breakfast), and the standard room was fully booked. I chose this Weilai Hotel (Nanfeng Plaza Branch) on Jiefang Middle Road, the price is more than 200 (including breakfast), and the convenience conditions are good.

Wei Lai Hotel

The bathroom of Wei Lai Hotel is very large and separated from wet and dry.

It is said that the Yuncheng Salt Lake is so beautiful. It is one of the three largest salt lakes in the world. It is called the Dead Sea in China. When you arrive in Yuncheng, you have to visit it.

Yuncheng Salt Lake

Yuncheng Salt Lake, the hot sun is dying, it is not worth visiting at all, the pool temple on the edge of the salt lake is better, there are many historical sites left, but when we went, it was under maintenance and it was not open, which is a pity.
