May Day Getaway | Escape the Crowds with a Road Trip to Taigu Longquan Palace

Taigu Longquan Palace was built in 1355 AD, during the Yuan Dynasty. Surrounded by Phoenix Mountain, it has a history of 670 years. It is a famous Taoist architectural complex in Shanxi Province and has always been a place for people to relax. 🌈 Highlights: ✅ This is the main scenic spot of "Phoenix Mountain Spring Scenery," one of the ten scenic spots in Taigu. The ancient temple is quiet and beautiful, with few people. It is a good place to avoid the crowds during the May Day holiday. ✅ In front of the temple is a tall, exquisitely carved stone archway. The pavilions and towers of the entire temple are arranged layer by layer on the mountain. Ancient pines, cypresses, and ancient tree roots are interspersed among them. Moreover, the Longquan in the Water Mother Cave is continuous, clear as jade, and flows all year round. Drinking it is refreshing. The Fengshui Pagoda on the top of the mountain is majestic and towering into the clouds, magnificent and beautiful. ✅ Yuan Haowen, a great poet of the Yuan Dynasty, left several poems here. Fu Shan of the Ming Dynasty inscribed the plaque "Mountains Surround Water," and Zhao Tieshan of the Qing Dynasty inscribed "Listening to the Clear Sound of Mountains and Rivers," which added a lot of cultural heritage to Longquan Palace. 🎫 Ticket: Free 🚗 Transportation: Take bus T16 or T17 to reach it; navigation 🧭 and driving are more convenient and faster
