Discover the Yellow River's Gem: Your Ultimate Travel Guide to Qikou Ancient Town!

#favouriteitinerary 📍 Qikou Ancient Town: Located in Lin County, Shanxi Province, along the banks of the Yellow River, Qikou Ancient Town was once a significant hub for Shanxi merchants. 🎫 Tickets: Free entry 🏮Must-Visit Attractions: 🔹 Heilong Temple Theater Stage: Stand on the Qing Dynasty theater stage and overlook the confluence of the Yellow River and the Qingshui River. The name "Wohu Dragon Temple" suddenly makes sense. 🔹 Li Family Mountain Village: As described by artist Wu Guanzhong, this "Han Tomb" village features Ming Dynasty cave dwellings arranged like pyramids. Follow an old shepherd around 72 twists and turns, and sit under a jujube tree sketching. A local lady insists on giving you freshly picked jujubes: "They're sweet, more genuine than those with additives from the city!" 🔹 Yellow River Earth Forest: Float through the "Ten-mile Gallery" on a sheepskin raft, marveling at water-eroded cliff formations like "Dharma Facing the Wall" and "Peacock Spreading its Tail." Boatman Lao Chen suddenly points out: "Look! The iron ring used by the Red Army when they crossed eastward is still there!" Travel Tips: Wear comfortable shoes for walking on the cobblestone paths. Enjoy your journey through the historical charm and cultural richness of Qikou Ancient Town! 🏯🌿😊
