Shanxi·Jincheng Xiangyu Ancient Castle·A Super Shocking Niche Treasure Spot

Shanxi·Jincheng Xiangyu Ancient Castle·A Super Shocking Niche Treasure Spot 1️⃣ Actually, it is on the same route as the Royal Prime Minister's Mansion and Guoyu Ancient Village, not far apart. Due to limited time, we only visited Xiangyu Ancient Castle. If you have more time, the other two spots are also worth a visit based on their descriptions. 2️⃣ However, some people commented that Xiangyu Ancient Castle is much more interesting than the Royal Prime Minister's Mansion. I guess it's because the castle feels more down-to-earth compared to the mansion. 3️⃣ Transportation (recommended to drive or take a taxi) It takes about 50 minutes to drive 40 kilometers from Jincheng Meihau International Trade Hotel, mainly because the mountain road after exiting the highway is slow. Parking costs 10 yuan per car. 4️⃣ The fixed taxi fare of 89 yuan is quite reasonable. There is also a bus, but it takes more time, so a taxi is recommended. Costs Tickets are 65 yuan for adults, 32 yuan for children over 1.2 meters. It is not suitable for strollers as there are steps in each residential building within the castle. Impressions of the Attraction 5️⃣ I personally liked it very much, it felt worth the trip. Simply put, it was something I had never seen before. 6️⃣ The entire castle exudes an ancient and simple atmosphere. For example, places like Jinci, although famous and with the 'Holy Mother Hall' included in textbooks, can only be admired from afar. In contrast, the residential buildings in the castle feel more down-to-earth and relatable to ordinary people. 7️⃣ The castle is clean and quiet, with stone-paved roads. There were only a few dozen people inside, making it easy to take photos. There are still residents living here, mostly elderly and children. It is remarkable that ancestral homes have been preserved to this day. It is also nice for children to grow up here.
