🌟Shanxi Xinzhou Ancient City: A Thousand-Year-Old Secret Realm Just a 1-Hour Drive Away! Full Guide to Food + Intangible Cultural Heritage Molten Iron Fireworks + Stunning B&Bs🔥 "Xinzhou is perfect for a city walk!" My bestie exclaimed as soon as we got off the car. Starbucks is hidden among the gray bricks and tiles, century-old houses have been transformed into artistic B&Bs, and you can find steaming buckwheat jelly noodles around every corner. This low-key ancient city from the Northern Wei Dynasty has mastered the art of blending the ancient and modern! 🚗【Self-Driving Guide】A Must-Read for the Lazy! Navigate directly to "Xinzhou Ancient City South Gate parking lot". It's about a 1.5-hour drive from Taiyuan/Datong on the expressway. We arrived at 10 AM on the weekend, and there were still spaces in the huge free parking lot! The parking lot is a 3-minute walk from the South Gate entrance of the ancient city. If you have luggage, it's recommended to choose "Xiurong Courtyard B&B". The butler will drive a shuttle to help with your luggage, which is super thoughtful. 🍜【Food Map】A Foodie's Paradise! Pass through the city gate with the words "Key to the Three Passes" and instantly fall into a carbohydrate heaven! It's recommended to come on an empty stomach to challenge this Ming and Qing Dynasty food street: ✅ Buckwheat Jelly Noodles (Must-Eat!): Chewy buckwheat noodles covered in chili oil, CNY 7/bowl ✅ Baode Fried Rice Cake: Intangible cultural heritage jujube paste filling, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, bursting with flavor ✅ Mashed Pea Cake: Potato lovers rejoice! Amazing with sauerkraut ✅ Ancient City Yogurt: Served in retro porcelain bottles, perfect for photos ⚠️Avoid: A certain internet-famous yogurt shop has a 1-hour queue, but the taste is the same in the three shops further inside! 🎆【Molten Iron Fireworks Guide】You'll Regret Missing It! Two shows daily at 19:50/21:00. The best spot is on the "Mingyue Tower" steps! It's recommended to grab a spot 40 minutes in advance. We bought old yogurt to eat while we waited. When the 1600℃ molten iron blooms into a golden waterfall in the night sky, everyone shouts "Wow~", it's even more shocking than fireworks! When the show ends, follow the crowd out of Guandi Temple Alley, and it's a super convenient 5-minute walk back to the B&B. 🏡【B&B Experience】Stay in a Cultural Relic! Highly recommend "Xiurong Courtyard"! The three-in-four courtyard has been transformed into a Zen space. The east wing room we stayed in had a view of the eaves and brackets from the window. Smart toilet + Dyson hair dryer + good night dessert soup, and the mattress is a Kingkoil! Special praise for the service - free Hanfu to wear, and the butler also gave us a hand-drawn map of the ancient city, marking the hidden photo spots with cinnabar, which is super thoughtful for girls! 📸【Niche Check-In List】 1️⃣ Taishan Temple Alley: When the blue-toned lanterns light up, it's straight out of "The Longest Day in Chang'an" 2️⃣ Xiurong Academy: Climb the West Courtyard Pavilion to overlook the entire city, the red walls and glazed tiles are super photogenic 3️⃣ Eight City Gates: The plaques on each city gate are calligraphy treasures, the North Gate "Key to Northern Shanxi" is recommended 4️⃣ Night Tour of the City Walls: Rent Hanfu for CNY 20 and get free access to the city walls, take atmospheric photos with a fish lantern 💡【Summary of Blood and Tears Experience】 ① Don't wear high heels! The ground in the ancient city is uneven bluestone ② It's more cost-effective to buy a pass (CNY 60 includes 8 attractions + city walls) ③ It's recommended to stay in the ancient city on weekends, the deserted streets in the early morning are great for photos ④ Hidden gameplay: Find a teahouse and listen to the proprietress tell the story of the "Xinzhou Jiuyuangang Murals" Standing on the city wall, looking at the brightly lit streets, I suddenly understood why Yuan Haowen looked back at this land when he wrote "What is love in the world". Xinzhou is like a treasure box forgotten by time, ancient but not old, lively but not noisy. Promise me, next time you come to Shanxi, don't just go to Pingyao!

I just returned from Xinzhou with my parents last week, and my friends were all asking about this hidden gem! No crowds, no tourist traps, and an exclusive experience for just over 600 RMB per person. Save this comprehensive guide now~ 🚞Transportation Tips ▪️ Take the high-speed train from Taiyuan to Xinzhou (25 minutes), then a 10 RMB taxi ride to the ancient city. ▪️ Luyashan Scenic Area carpooling tip: At 7 am, villagers offer carpooling from the west gate of the ancient city (50 RMB/person, half the price of a private car). ▪️ The Yellow River No. 1 Tourist Highway is stunning for self-driving, but for beginners, the Laoniu Bay → Qiankun Bay section is recommended, with fewer curves and scenic viewing platforms throughout. 🌟Must-Have Experiences 1️⃣ Capture stunning photos in the万年冰洞 (Wannian Ice Cave): Bring a warm-colored flashlight! The amber light refracted by the ice pillars is magical. 2️⃣ Horseback riding in Hanfu at雁门关 (Yanmen Pass): Locals rent horses below the pass (30 RMB/lap). Capture heroic photos in armor. 3️⃣ Cook hot pot in the奇村 (Qicun) hot springs: Buy a bag of raw eggs and drop them into the 80°C spring. Enjoy soft-boiled eggs with buckwheat bowl cakes after 15 minutes. 4️⃣ Stargazing and camping by the云中河 (Yunzhong River): Navigate to "牧马桥 (Mu Ma Qiao)". The Milky Way is visible in summer. Remember mosquito repellent. 5️⃣ Feed lambs in悬空村 (Xuankong Village): Buy a bundle of hay for 5 RMB, and the black-faced lambs under the eaves will chase you. It's incredibly heartwarming. 🍲Local Food Radar ✅ Ancient city oil cake blind box: 3 RMB/piece, randomly filled with brown sugar/jujube paste/red bean paste. Eat them while they're hot, even if they're scalding. ✅ Two ways to eat Dai County's "Ao Fish": First, drink the milky fish soup, then dip the fish in vinegar. Enjoy a filling meal for 40 RMB per person. ✅ Deluxe version of Baode bowl cakes: Topped with fried dough twists and marinated eggs. The chili oil is so fragrant you'll want to take some home. ⚠️Avoid: The "wild mushroom soup" at the scenic area entrance is often fake. For authentic mushroom soup, visit a farmhouse restaurant in Wutaishan. 🧳Packing List ✔️ Add: Foldable kettle (perfect for boiling eggs in hot springs/making instant noodles) ✔️ Add: Waterproof phone case (sudden rain is common in Malun Grassland, Luyashan) ✖️ Remove: DSLR camera (the temperature difference in the ice cave can cause fogging; a phone is more practical) ⭕️ Hidden gem: Hand warmers for your phone! Prevents your phone from shutting down in the cold ice cave (tested and proven). 📅Seasonal Activities 🌸 March-April: Apricot blossoms in Xinzhou Ancient City + kite flying by the Yunzhong River 🍉 June-August: Escape the heat in Luyashan (20°C) + mushroom picking 🍁 September-October: Admire the autumn foliage at Yanmen Pass + Jujube Festival ❄️ December-February: Hot springs with snowy scenery in Qicun + Blue Ice season in the ice cave Learning to make莜面栲栳栳 (youmian kaolaolao) from an 80-year-old grandma in Xuankong Village, listening to the night watchman at Yanmen Pass tell stories of Ming Dynasty border guards, and watching for the aurora at the ice cave observation station with locals at 3 am (though we didn't see it)... The most precious part of this trip wasn't the likes on social media, but the memories of local culture and customs.
