Jiexiu, Shanxi|.

|. Jiexiu, Shanxi | The colorful world created by colored glaze 2024/5/2 Tour Jiexiu, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Jinzhong, has a long history of glassmaking and exquisite craftsmanship, and is known as the "Hometown of Chinese Glass Art." After visiting the Zhenguo and Shuanglin temples in Pingyao, we decided to drive straight to Jiexiu to feast our eyes. Attractions: Five national protected areas, namely: 1 Taiheyan Archway (You can find it on Baidu Maps. The road is a bit narrow. There is someone guarding the iron gate in a yard. You can enter by paying 5 yuan. The opening time... probably depends on when the gatekeeper is there) 2 Zoroastrianism Building (mainly look at the glazed decorations on the roof and the brackets and brackets from "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". However, the wooden structure may not be very exquisite due to reconstruction due to fire or earthquake. Free admission. Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-12:00 in the morning and 14:30-17:00 in the afternoon) 3. Hou Tu Temple (If you only visit one ancient building in Jiexiu, I would recommend the colored glaze here. It is really dazzling and shocking! Free admission. Opening hours: 9:00-12:00 in the morning, 14:30-17:00 in the afternoon) 4. Chenghuang Temple (unfortunately it was closed when I went there, but you can still admire the representative Bofeng board and hanging fish as well as the cute little dragon on the ridge outside. Free admission. Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-12:00 in the morning and 14:30-17:00 in the afternoon) 5 Wuyue Temple (Baidu map navigation "Jiexiu City Jieshan Academy-Southeast Gate" is located in a school and tourists cannot enter. The roof can be seen from the outside)

#chinatrip 🥰China's most beautiful glaze paifang, I'm completely amazed by this charming peacock blue! China has countless paifang (Chinese-style archways), most of which are made of stone. There are only 13 glaze archways exist in China, with 12 located in Beijing and Chengde, and just one in Jiexiu, Shanxi Province. The Taihe Rock glaze archway in Jiexiu is the only archway entirely made of glaze, featuring a primary color of jade-like peacock accented with golden yellow and green glaze, making it even more vibrant. The patterns on the glaze are vivid and rich in content, featuring dragon motifs, auspicious beasts, flowers, birds, fish, insects, figures, landscapes, and couplets, all embodying the good wishes for luck, longevity, and peace in. Various artistic techniques such as imitation line carving, high relief, and transparent carving have been employed in the glaze pieces, along with a wealth of painting techniques, making each piece unique. The glaze archway is truly a masterpiece without doubt among many archways in China. #
