The Twin Towers Lingxiao

The Twin Towers in twin pagoda temple are known as "Jinyang Wonder" and one of the landmarks in Taiyuan. The "Lingxiao Twin Towers" was regarded as one of the eight scenic spots in ancient Taiyuan by local chronicles, but the original name of the temple "twin pagoda temple" was little known until it was replaced by the "Twin Towers Temple".

The Lingxiao Twin Towers, the tallest building among the existing ancient buildings in Taiyuan, are like twin sisters. Lingxiao Twin Towers, there is another nickname-double peaks in writing. The Twin Towers of Ling Xiao once amazed many politicians, thinkers and poets in history. Li Zicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, once praised it.

General Yang Chengwu, a famous soldier of the People's Liberation Army of New China, once paid tribute to him.

For hundreds of years, literati and stunning beauties have cherished twin pagoda temple's "Lingxiao Twin Towers" as a unique artistic treasure or cultural relic treasure.

Red Leaves in the Rise

Juewei Mountain Scenic Area is located 24 kilometers northwest of the urban area. The mountains are steep, pine and cypress are everywhere, mountain flowers are blooming in spring, and Qiu Lai is full of red leaves. "Rising Red Leaves" is one of the famous scenery in Taiyuan. There is a Duofu Temple at the top of the mountain, and there is a seven-level stupa in the temple. There are temple murals and Fu ink in the temple. Juewei Mountain Scenic Area is close to the urban area and has a pleasant climate. It is a place for tourists to visit and relax. The scenic spots in this scenic spot have their own characteristics, with convenient access, and the nearby beaches and famous foods have the characteristics and flavor of Shanxi.

the red leaves around the sunrise are one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Taiyuan and one of the top ten scenic spots of red leaves in China. The red-leaf plant Cotinus coggygria is a kind of wild shrub, and its leaves will turn from green to yellow, then from yellow to red, and finally to deep red after September. Before the leaves fall, they show their most beautiful and enchanting colors. Mr. Fu Shan loved red leaves all his life, and invited famous scholars Gu Yanwu and Yan Ermei to enjoy them here, which also left many timeless sayings for later generations.

strange cypress in Tutang

Jingyin Temple, located in Tutang Village, Taiyuan City, was founded in Beiqi. The temple is divided into two parts, the front yard has the Heavenly King Hall and the East Annex Hall, the middle part is separated from the hanging flower door by a wall, and the backyard is the Luohan Hall and the Dizang Hall. On the west side of the temple site, there is a double-eaved pavilion built on a cliff during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty for one Buddha and two Bodhisattvas. The ancient cypress beside the temple grows strangely, and the "strange cypress in the earth hall" is a scene in Taiyuan.

The "strange cypress in the earth hall" in Jingyin Temple is also one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Taiyuan. I wonder if Mr. Fu Shan's favorite ancient strange cypress is here, and where is it? Is it because the tree is weird or something else? Now no one can say clearly. But there is an interesting folklore here, which means that the cypress trees around Jingyin Temple grew very luxuriantly in those days, but no one can count how many. A general who commanded thousands of troops and horses came here. He tried to count these cypresses clearly. He counted them all day and night, and put a small note on the counted cypresses as a mark. However, when he came here the next day, he found all the cypress trees with the same notes, and the number was unclear.

Fierce Stone Cold Spring

It is located in Shanglan Village, 2 kilometers northwest of Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, on the left side of Fenhe Canyon, next to north university of china. Under the Erlong Mountain, the temple stands on the wall, with clear streams and gurgling, the ancient cypresses in the temple are green and the temple is towering. The doctor of the state of Jin, Dou Shu, pronounced the word calf, fief Taiyuan, once opened a canal to promote profits, and later generations set up a shrine here to worship. The shrine is under the fierce stone mountain, so it is also called the fierce stone shrine. In June of the eighth year of Song Yuanfeng, the temple was flooded by Fenshui, and the tunnel moved northward for reconstruction. There are inscriptions in all dynasties. Existing mountain gates, pavilions, halls, etc.

It was rebuilt in the third year of Yuan Zhizheng (1343), partially retaining the style of Song and Jin Dynasties. Among them, the pavilion is very large, and the back eaves column is replaced by the gallery column of the main hall. The structure is concise and rigorous, which is rare in Jin and Yuan architecture. The clear spring beside the shrine gushes from the cliff of the fierce stone mountain (now called Erlong Mountain), and it is crystal clear, with fish looming, and its water temperature is cold and clear, so it is called "cold spring". Reflect with the ancient temple of Cangbai, which is full of elegance. "Fierce stone cold spring" is one of the scenic spots in Taiyuan. It's a pity that the fierce stone is still there, but the cold spring does not exist.

Snow in Tianmen

Shuanglongquan and Qianshu Valley are both places of interest near Jinyang, the northern capital. Shuanglong Spring is the south and north Longquan in the northwest of Yangqu County, Taiyuan City. Er Quan is only 5 meters apart, surrounded by rolling mountains and shady trees. There is a Daianji near the spring, which was built in the early Tang Dynasty. There is a pagoda in the temple, commonly known as "Tang Priest Pagoda", which was the place where Master Xuanzang, a monk, handed down scriptures during the Zhenguan period. Qian (Insect Shu) Valley is a canyon in the northwest of Taiyuan. In ancient times, it was the tunnel connecting Jinyang with the northwest states, and its east entrance was the famous Tianmen Pass. Emperor Yangdi once opened up traffic and built a plank road here, hence the name Yang Guangdao. The cliff here is like a cliff, and the valley path is deep. "Tianmen Snow" is one of the eight scenic spots in ancient Jinyang. Just under this cliff, which is like Tianmen Pass with a deep valley, Yang Guang, the general manager of Bingzhou at that time, set up a plank road and built a northbound Chidao, which was called Yang Guang Road in history. At that time, Yang Guang, the third northern tour, set out from Jinyang and headed 1, maids-in-waiting to visit Fenyang Palace in Tianchi, Ningwu, and lived there for five months.

The Fenhe River crosses in the evening.

The mountains are full of sunset, and when it crosses back, it is like ants.

The middle stream grinds and paddles, and the sand is swarming with geese.

Looking back, you can swim across the river to celebrate the autumn. At that time, no one can be worried.

where is the flute and drum in the building? Polygonum cuspidatum goes to Bai Ou every year.

In addition to natural scenery, the ancients paid more attention to artistic conception. Because of this, the Fenhe River crossed late and became one of the eight scenic spots in Taiyuan in the Qing Dynasty.
