Every Taiyuan local has memories of Jinci Temple.

For locals, it is a familiar place. Schools organize trips to Jinci Temple from the time you start school. Although it is not in the city center, it is not far from the city center. The last time I visited Jinci Temple was when I was still in school. The Jinci Museum is much larger than before, with a large park surrounding it. Jinci Temple is now a whole scenic area. If you only want to visit the Jinci Museum, it will take at least 15 minutes to walk there after getting off the bus, so you can consider taking the round-trip electric car for ¥10. As soon as you step into Jinci Temple, you will feel like you have traveled back to the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties, and your memories will be pulled back to your school days, because almost nothing has changed. The ancient trees are towering, the shade is like a canopy, and the thousand-year-old trees are still full of vitality. I have heard since I was a child that it is no longer spring water, but it still does not stop tourists from lining up to taste it. Compared with the rich collection of the Shanxi Museum, the Jinci Museum is slightly monotonous, but the ancient buildings and northern gardens are still worth seeing. It is even more difficult to see the famous attractions that appear in textbooks. There are three layers of people, and you are not allowed to enter the main hall. Even if you squeeze to the front, you can only look at it from a distance. This is the fate of visiting attractions during holidays. Of course, it is better to book a guided tour in advance! Otherwise, you will just be looking around. As for the "Jinci Hotel" next door, I don't think it is as good as it is said to be. It is more convenient to stay in the city center, and there is no need to make a special trip.
