DAY1 Fly away from Yancheng, overnight in Shijiazhuang

It's summer vacation with high temperature and scorching sun. It is the first time for the stone couple to come to the new terminal of Yancheng Nanyang International Airport. It is fully equipped, with many check-in windows, large and compact space, and luxurious decoration. It is not like a small airport at all. Travel comfortably.

Stone New Home takes Yancheng Bus No. 15, which can go directly to Yancheng Nanyang Airport, which is also a good benefit for Stone who likes to play.

Stone took off on the Yancheng Nanyang-Shijiazhuang Zhengding 9C8786 spring and autumn flight on time, rushed into the sky, and arrived at Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport an hour and a half later.

Because it was a temporary decision to travel, I didn’t check the strategy to formulate the itinerary. I didn’t go straight to the hotel when I arrived at Shijiazhuang Airport. I checked and booked the hotel online. It might be a weekend. Many economic chain hotels such as Home Inn, Seven Days, and Jinjiang Inn were full. Finally booked the Bestay Express Hotel to arrive at Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport at 17:30. Due to hotel problems, I took the Shijiazhuang Airport Bus to Shijiazhuang Railway Station at 19:30. The airport bus is 20 yuan per person, every half an hour. The terminal is Shijiazhuang Train stand. Due to physical exhaustion, the stone couple took a taxi directly from Shijiazhuang Railway Station to Bestay Express Hotel (Shijiazhuang Art Center Store), which cost about 10 yuan. Put down the luggage, tidy up a little bit, the hunger is no longer enough, quickly find something to eat, there are many small restaurants next to the hotel, we found a halal Lanzhou ramen, and ordered a Lanzhou beef ramen and Lanzhou fried rice, a total of 19 yuan , a large portion, full of food. (Shijiazhuang Art Center Store), wasting a lot of time.

Bestay Express Hotel is a hotel under Jinjiang Inn. It mainly targets young people and students on business trips and trips. The biggest difference from Jinjiang Inn is that the rooms are small, but they are well-equipped, hygienic and clean. The price is only half of that of Jinjiang Inn, which is very cost-effective. high. Bestay Express Hotel (Shijiazhuang Art Center), shares the hotel reception, hotel lobby and hotel restaurant, and enjoys the same service as Jinjiang Inn.


DAY2 Wake up Shijiazhuang, taste Yanzhao culture

Tired body, it’s already dawn before I recover, wash up and go to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, 22 yuan/person, porridge, fried rice, fried noodles, buns, grilled sausages, home-cooked dishes, soy milk, coffee, eggs, milk, corn, watermelon , cantaloupe, etc., everything.

The breakfast at Jinjiang Inn is quite rich, and Mrs. Shitou looks like a young girl eating breakfast, a cute girl.

After breakfast, the Shitou couple took the Shijiazhuang subway to Chang'an Park near the Hebei Provincial Government. At the gate of the park stood the sculpture of Chairman Mao. double.

Chang'an Park, located in the city center, has a large population, green trees, grassy streams and streams. It is a good place for ordinary people in Shijiazhuang to exercise. It is named after it is located in Chang'an District, Shijiazhuang. It is undoubtedly the largest comprehensive urban park in Hebei.

Shijiazhuang Chang'an Park has music sinking square, water fun garden, and river water. The stone couple strolled by the lake, they could enjoy the park and breathe the fresh air, so that we who have lived in the city for a long time can occasionally wash our lungs. Chang'an Park is a paradise in Shijiazhuang, a prosperous provincial capital city.

Shijiazhuang Museum, founded in the 1990s, is located at No. 65 Jianshe North Street, Shijiazhuang City. From Shijiazhuang Chang'an Park, it takes five minutes to walk to Shijiazhuang Museum.

Compared with the Hebei Museum, the Shijiazhuang Museum is much stingier. It has exhibition halls such as Shijiazhuang Folklore Exhibition and Ancient Hebei Exhibition. The Folklore Exhibition of the Hebei Museum mainly displays the previous rural farming methods, farming tools, ancient carriages, northern rural cooking, earth kang beds, etc. It reproduces the life and production methods of farmers in the past, which makes people have endless aftertaste.

The ancient Hebei exhibition in Shijiazhuang Museum mainly displays bronzes, ancient coins, etc., which are similar to other museums.

In July, Shijiazhuang is so hot that people don't want to go to places except for places with air conditioning. Leaving Shijiazhuang Museum, take the Shijiazhuang subway to Xinbai Square in the center of Shijiazhuang. Xinbai Plaza, like other plazas in China, has food, clothing, movies and other food, accommodation and transportation integrations.

At the food stall in Xinbai Plaza, I found a very popular Shaanxi Roujiamo restaurant. I ordered a serving of cold noodle, a serving of noodles, and two servings of Roujiamo. I also bought some other duck intestines for a total of 39 yuan. .

After a short rest, take the subway from Shijiazhuang Xinbai Square Station to the Hebei Museum Station, and you can reach the Hebei Museum after exiting the subway.

Hebei Museum, with the appearance of a colonnaded building imitating the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, is located in the Cultural Square of Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. It is a national first-class museum, the largest comprehensive museum in Hebei Province, and an educational demonstration base in Hebei Province.

Hebei Museum is open to the public every Tuesday to Sunday from 9:00 to 17:00 (no entry at 16:00), and closed on Mondays.

Hebei Museum, the representative work of the collection is the Changxin Palace Lantern unearthed from the tomb of Liu Sheng's wife Dou Wan, King Jing of Zhongshan in Mancheng. .

Hebei Museum has "Sweet Songs of the Great Han Dynasty - Han Tombs in the City", "Murals of the Northern Dynasties", "Famous Kilns and Famous Porcelain", "Generous Elegy Songs - Stories of Yanzhao", "Hebei in the Stone Age", "Hebei Shang Dynasty Civilization" , "Quyang Stone Carving", "Warring States Heroes - Ancient Zhongshan Kingdom", "Hundred Years Glimpse - Modern Hebei" has a total of nine permanent exhibition halls.

The cultural relics unearthed from the most famous Mancheng Han Tomb in Hebei Museum are divided into two exhibition halls, including the earliest and most complete jade clothes of Liu Sheng and Dou Wan unearthed in China, as well as gilt and silver copper pots with coiled dragon patterns, Typical and representative collections include gilt Changxin palace lanterns, openworked double-dragon high-button and valley-patterned white jade walls, and gold-stitched Boshan stoves. In addition to these classics, there are also regular exhibits such as jade, chariots and horses, glassware, figurines, coins, weapons, pottery, tents, stoves, etc., which constitute a complete set of history of the Han Dynasty and provide visitors with a systematic understanding of the Han Dynasty in Hebei. this history.

"Northern Dynasties Mural Paintings" includes 158 pottery figurines unearthed from tombs and 6 original mural paintings; there are also more than 400 square meters of mural facsimiles drawn according to the originals, among which the most spectacular one drawn according to the originals is escorted and guided by a guard of honor queue composed of 53 people The owner of the tomb, who ascended to heaven and became an immortal, copied the murals on the tomb passage of Gao Yang, Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Stone can only say that the Hebei Museum has a large scale and many cultural relics. If you have enough time, you can stay in it for a day. If you want to understand the history of Hebei, the Hebei Museum is a living textbook. Leaving the Hebei Museum, it was already evening, so I went directly to find some delicious food and went back to Bestay Express Hotel to rest. Tomorrow I will need more energy to go to Taiyuan, Shanxi.

DAY3 Walk along the Fenhe River in Taiyuan, wander around the Liuxiang Night Market

Take the Harmony high-speed train from Shijiazhuang to Taiyuan South Station, the fare is 68 per person, and the journey takes one and a half hours. The biggest advantage of the high-speed train is that it is comfortable and punctual. Take the bus from Taiyuan South Railway Station, the fare is one yuan, and you will arrive at Bestay Express Hotel (Taiyuan Branch) in 50 minutes. It is already afternoon. Put your luggage in the hotel, take a short rest, and take the bus to Taiyuan Mother River Fenhe Scenic Area. Since the Taiyuan Metro has not yet opened, it can only be reached by bus.

The Fen River, the second largest tributary of the Yellow River and the largest river in Shanxi, runs through the entire city of Taiyuan and runs through Xinzhou City, Taiyuan City, Luliang City, Jinzhong City, Linfen City, and Yuncheng City in Shanxi Province. It is called the Mother River by Shanxi people , has an important influence on the cultural history of Shanxi.

In the world, Taiyuan Fenhe Scenic Area is very famous, its playability is average, and the scenery is also very average. It is a good place for local people to exercise and take a walk. Shitou himself does not recommend tourists to go there.

Since I only arrived in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province at noon, I will go to the two most important scenic spots of this trip tomorrow, Jinzhong Wang Family Courtyard and Linfen Yellow River Hukou Waterfall. Today’s itinerary is relatively easy. I only went to Taiyuan Fenhe Scenery District and Taiyuan Liuxiang Street.

From Taiyuan Fenhe Scenic Area, you can take a bus to Taiyuan Liuxiang.

Liuxiang comes from a story in the Northern Expedition to Exterminate the Yuan Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty. It probably means that the famous general Chang Yuchun in the early Ming Dynasty, in order to reduce the loss of the Ming army, dressed himself as a woodcutter and entered Taiyuan City, which was still under the control of the Yuan army. , understand the enemy's deployment and situation.

Because of this operation, the secret was not careful, and was discovered by the enemy. At the time of life and death, General Chang Yuchun was rescued by the widowed old woman Liu. On the willow branch, the Ming army invaded Taiyuan City to protect it and never disturb the people. Afterwards, this Taiyuan street was called Liuxiang.

Liuxiang, more than 300 years old, is the oldest commercial street in Taiyuan, and it is also the most prosperous commercial street in Taiyuan today.

Liuxiang is a must-go place for locals to taste time-honored delicacies in Shanxi, such as: "Brain Soup" from Qingheyuan Restaurant, steamed mutton dumplings from Renyili, sauced meat from Liuweizhai, old Shanxi vinegar from Yiyuanqing, and Shuangshen's pastries and more. Of course, Liuxiang is also a must-visit place for foreign tourists to taste Shanxi time-honored delicacies and night markets in Taiyuan. In the nearby Chunyang Palace, you can also watch local Jin opera performances during the Spring Festival.

Liuxiang, as the largest and most prosperous commercial street in Taiyuan, not only has traditional time-honored brands, but also trendy fashion, Starbucks, KFC, McDonald's, popular clothing brands, and modern shopping centers.

Maybe Shitou has been to too many big cities, Liuxiang, personally think it is still a lot smaller than Beijing Wangfujing, Shanghai City God's Temple, Xi'an Huimin Street, Nanjing Confucius Temple, but it is still a good place for foreign tourists to taste Shanxi's time-honored delicacies and night markets. .

The stone couple went shopping and found a very popular restaurant. They specially ordered a few Shanxi specialties, such as oily pork and Shanxi pasta. Shitou is not very used to Shanxi cuisine, so eating it occasionally is also a good choice.

DAY4 Visit the Wang Family Courtyard, Seeking the Roots of Jiuqu Yellow River

Today's journey is long and time-consuming. I got up at 4:30 in the morning and set off at 5:30. The whole journey was high-speed, and I arrived at the Wang Family Courtyard in Jingsheng Town, Lingshi County, Jinzhong City at about 9:30 in the morning.

Tips for the Wang Family Courtyard: Tickets are 55 yuan/adult, half-price students are 55 yuan/person (bachelor degree and below).

The Wang Family Courtyard was built over 300 years during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It has five alleys, six castles, a street and a traditional Chinese courtyard style three-entry courtyard with a front hall and a back bedroom. It has both a hall for guests and a Private master and servant bedrooms.

The Wang Family Courtyard, which houses the imperial decree issued to the Wang family during the Jiaqing period, the complete map of the Qing Dynasty’s Wannian rule of the world, and the Qiangong Bed, is a national key cultural relic protection unit, a traditional Chinese architectural art museum, and a preparation for China’s world cultural heritage. list.

Wang Shiqian, the ancestor of the Wang family in the Wang Family Courtyard, originated from Taiyuan and later moved to Jingsheng Village, and the ancestors of the Qiao Family Courtyard both started from farming and the tofu industry. After years of hard work, the family changed from farming to business. As capital grows thicker and the family business grows larger, large-scale construction and construction of houses are carried out, and the decorations are gorgeous and exquisite, forming three lanes, four forts and five ancestral halls from low to high. The difference between the Qiao family and the Qiao family who have been in business in the Qiao family compound is that the descendants of the Wang family, from businessmen to officials, the Wang family mansion is relatively natural, simple, fresh and elegant, slightly low-key, with "noble but not expensive, Novelty and elegant, not expensive, delicate and romantic" reputation.

The Wang Family Courtyard adopts a three-entry quadrangle courtyard, a perfect combination of large and small courtyards, and a tight fortress wall. There are 35 large and small Gaojiaya complex courtyards, including 342 houses. Each courtyard has its own ancestor worship hall, embroidery building, kitchen yard, family school yard, flower yard, academy and so on.

As a building under the background of the feudal dynasty, the Wang Family Courtyard embodies the regularity of the patriarchal etiquette system, such as the difference between men and women, the order of seniority, and the distinction between high and low. At the same time, the architectural style of the Wang family compound highlights the majesty of the official family.

The decline of the Wang family is the same as the fate of the entire Chinese nation. After the 18th century (Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty), the decline of the Qing Dynasty, the invasion of China by the great powers and the historical background of the Anti-Japanese War, gradually declined to the point that no descendants of the Wang family lived in the Wang family compound. , now belonging to the country, is also a famous tourist attraction in Shanxi, and it is a must-go place for tourists to understand the culture of Shanxi merchants.

After learning about the cultural tour of Shanxi Merchants in the Wang Family Courtyard, we got up and went on a trip to find our roots and ancestors—Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River in Jixian County, Linfen, Shanxi. It took three and a half hours by car. Bread, milk, potato chips and mineral water are provided.

From Taiyuan to Jingsheng Town, Lingshi County, Jinzhong City, and Hukou Town, Ji County, Linfen City, there is a high-speed road, passing through mountains and ridges, with layer upon layer of tunnels. It is just around the corner to embark on common prosperity together.


Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, the second largest waterfall in China, is the largest yellow waterfall in the world. It is located between Hukou Township, Yichuan County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province and Hukou Township, Jixian County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province. Geoparks and geoheritage protected areas. The two provinces collect tickets for the Hukou Waterfall Scenic Spot of the Yellow River and operate separately.


Of course, the stone walls on both sides of the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River are steep, the river mouth is as narrow as the Hukou, and the Yellow River water pours down from the cliff. It is said that the scenery experience from the two places is also different. Unfortunately, the stone only saw the side of Shanxi. The majestic momentum of harvesting a pot of thousands of miles of Yellow River!


The geology on both sides of Hukou of the Yellow River is mainly rocky hills covered with thin loess. The bedrock of rocky hills on both sides is mainly Triassic sandstone and shale.

The Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River is located between the Loess Plateau, the Yellow River channel, and the Qin-Jin Canyon. A series of strange scenery such as "mountains flying from sea to sea, sailing on dry land, ten-mile dragon trough, neon playing in water, thunder in dry weather, and ice peak hanging upside down".


The torrential yellow water pours down the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, leaving behind many poetic poems through the ages, describing the magnificent Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River with surging torrents, roaring waves, splashing water, and several miles of sound vibration. Come from the sky and rush to the sea and never return", Hui Shiyang, a man of the Ming Dynasty, "originated from Kunlun and developed a large current, and Yuguan nine turns a pot to harvest." And so on.


Stone’s feeling for the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River is that photos cannot show the magnificent Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River. Perhaps only the scene, or at least the video, can show the majestic momentum of the Yellow River water harvested in a pot.

Tips for the Yellow River Hukou Waterfall Scenic Spot: Pay attention to the amount of water, if the amount of water is large, the scenic spot may be closed. Tickets are 100 yuan/adult, half price for students (undergraduate degree and below), 20 yuan/person for small traffic in the scenic spot, and the journey takes five minutes with a traffic ticket. The transportation ticket should be kept well, and you need to take the bus with the ticket when you come back.

I drove away from Hukou Town, Jixian County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province. The whole journey was at high speed. It was already 9 o'clock in the evening when I returned to Taiyuan City. Since I hadn't eaten Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes that suited my taste for many days, I found a restaurant and ordered a large plate of pickled fish. Weigh the fish first, 30 yuan/jin, two and a half catties. The supermarket is 8 yuan/jin, and the restaurant is still very profitable, but fortunately, the taste is good, the food is very full and satisfying, and I even drank the soup.

DAY5 Two major museums, Shanxi cultural and historical tour

On the last day of the journey, due to a sudden typhoon, many flights were canceled and they had to take the train back to Jiangsu. Due to the hot weather in summer, it is the last day, and we have to catch the train in the evening. Today's itinerary is mainly to visit the museum, blowing the museum's air conditioner, and quietly learning about the history and civilization of Shanxi and the geological knowledge of Shanxi.

I got up at 8 o'clock in the morning to wash up, and ate a beef ramen and fried knives at the Lanzhou Ramen Restaurant next to the hotel. I didn't expect to wake up so late, and I was the first customer to have breakfast in the restaurant. Because it is located in Shanxi, Shanxi people like to eat noodles , the taste is much better than the Lanzhou ramen in Jiangsu.

Take the bus, the fare is one yuan, get off at Shanxi Museum Station in half an hour, and pick up the ticket at the automatic ticket collection device for free with your ID card. Shanxi Museum, current limit, free tickets, closed on Monday.

Shanxi Museum, located on the west bank of the Fen River on the Mother River in Taiyuan City, is the largest comprehensive museum in Shanxi and one of the few large-scale modern museums in China. It is a gathering place for the essence of Shanxi cultural relics and precious collections. The largest collection, protection, research and display center of cultural relics.

Shanxi Museum as a whole adopts the traditional Chinese axis symmetry, with the east-west axis as the main axis and the north-south axis as the secondary axis; the exterior building complex design of the museum adopts the traditional "Tai Chi center, all directions" courtyard combination, which is composed of the main hall and the four-corner auxiliary building. So as to ingeniously realize the harmonious integration of heaven, earth and people. The main hall of Shanxi Museum is shaped like a bucket like a tripod, with four wings stretched out. The whole building complex is like a mountain like a que, majestic and majestic, with ups and downs.

Chinese civilization has a long history. A museum is not enough to describe the entire 5,000-year Chinese civilization, but it can know a place and a history of the origin and development of Jin culture, such as: Jin and Sanjin cultural relics during the two weeks, Northern Dynasties cultural relics, and Jin merchants in Ming and Qing Dynasties Cultural relics, etc. Everyone says that the underground cultural relics look at Shaanxi, and the above-ground cultural relics look at Shanxi. Understanding the relationship between Shanxi and Chinese civilization is helpful to understand some of the history of Shanxi, the land of China, such as the history of the Warring States and Jin, the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the history of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the history of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Jin State Overlord
The hegemony of the Jin State laid the cornerstone of Shanxi's history and culture. Qucun—Tianma Ruins, Marquis Jin Cemetery, Houma Jin Kingdom Ruins, Bronze Casting Ruins and Houma League Letters are all precious treasures left to future generations to discover this period of Shanxi history. It can be said that they are famous overseas

cradle of civilization

China's earliest Stone Age was born here. It is located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and the hinterland of China. It is the cradle of ancient Chinese humans and civilizations. The Neolithic characters, bronzes, and observatories excavated at the foot of Ta'er Mountain have a history of four to five thousand years.

Shanxi Merchants in Ming and Qing Dynasties

Shanxi merchants founded "piaohao", which constituted a complex financial system. They were rich at home and famous overseas.

The discovery of the "Dongxiafeng Ruins" clearly shows the existence of the Xia Dynasty. The discovery and excavation of bronze heavy vessels and complete cities in the early Shang Dynasty in southern Shanxi show the history of the Shang Dynasty. "Dongxiafeng Ruins" and "Bronze Heavy Vessels and Complete City in the Early Shang Dynasty in Southern Shanxi" both show that Shanxi is the earliest birthplace of Chinese civilization and an important city in Xia and Shang Dynasties.

Stone listed the four most famous exhibition halls in Shanxi Museum, "Cradle of Civilization", "Traces of Xia Shang", "Hegemony of the Jin Dynasty", and "Shanxi Merchants of Ming and Qing Dynasties". one look.

Shanxi Geological Museum, just next to Shanxi Museum. The stone couple went out of the gate of Shanxi Museum, and the Shanxi Geological Museum was on the left. The Shanxi Geological Museum is also free to visit, and requires vouchers in exchange for tickets. It is also a cultural undertaking learning and education base of a public welfare nature.

The basic display of the Shanxi Geological Museum consists of four parts: time travel, ancient species, earth treasures and Wuhua Tianbao, most of which are discovered and excavated locally in Shanxi Province. The treasure of the Shanxi Geological Museum is the only Shanxi crocodile fossil unearthed in Ji County in the world.

The fossils of Yungangsaurus and Stegosaurus found in Zuoyun County, the fossil of Rhinoceros maxima discovered in Xing County, the upper jaw of Tyrannosaurus found in Tianzhen County, and the fossils of Shanxi crocodile in Ji County, etc., show the biological evolution of Shanxi land, indicating that Shanxi is a One of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization provides an important basis for human research on Chinese civilization.

The most shocking thing about stones is the exhibition hall of Dadiwuhuatianbao. The ores from all over the world are shining brightly and are so beautiful that people linger and forget to return.

Due to time constraints, I had to end the Shanxi Geological Museum trip and take the bus to the hotel. I ordered two fast food at Yonghe Soymilk near the hotel. After dinner, go back to the hotel to pick up your luggage, go directly to the train station, enter the waiting hall through the security check, and prepare to return to Yancheng. Due to the typhoon in the past two days, most of the flights to Jiangsu or Shanghai were canceled or delayed. Sleeper berths and hard seats were hard to find, and the train stations were crowded with people. Fortunately, the stone couple grabbed a hard sleeper. The train from Taiyuan to Yancheng traveled for 16 hours, and it felt like I had slept in Yancheng.

Every time the trip ends, it is the beginning of a new life and work, as well as the beginning of a new journey planning. After finishing Shanxi and Hebei, there are still seven provinces in Xinjiang, Tibet, Guizhou, Chongqing, Jilin, Macau, and Taiwan that have no stone footprints left on the land of the motherland.

This summer trip in Shanxi and Hebei, "Walking in Shanxi and Hebei, Visiting Jiuqu Yellow River in person", is also a trip that can be said to go without prior planning. Few people understand the heart of those who like to travel, and they can't feel the mystery of our nature. pursuit and love. I am grateful to have a female ticket who yearns for nature as much as I do, and loves to travel. Let us visit the four corners of the motherland hand in hand, and walk an ordinary and extraordinary life.
