Give me a month to see the five thousand years of Shanxi, Jinshan and Jinmei, and drive around Shanxi: Jincheng Jueshan Scenic Area, Wuxing Mountain Phoenix Happy Valley, Guqinglian [departure on May 18, 2020]

Do you know Shanxi?

You know, in northern China...
Do you know Shanxi business card?
You know, the coal mines in Shanxi...
Do you know people from Shanxi?
You know, Shanxi Merchants...
This is my only superficial understanding of Shanxi. When it comes to Shanxi, the first reaction is coal mines, the Yellow River, and loess. As everyone knows, Shanxi carries the 5,000-year history and civilization of China, and generations of Shanxi merchants are also working hard all over the world. The scenery of Shanxi is even more beautiful.
