Is Xiaoxitian worth visiting? Shanxi is known for its aboveground relics!

Xiaoxitian welcomes you to read this note! Xixian Xiaoxitian is a journey through time and space to meet the gods and Buddhas, with its "suspended sculptures" stunning the world! The popularity of Black Myth: Wukong has boosted Shanxi's cultural tourism, and one of the most representative attractions is Xiaoxitian! Xiaoxitian is located in Xixian County, Linfen City, a county with a permanent population of less than 80,000, now experiencing a traffic of 100 million! We visited on a weekday to avoid the peak season and weekend, but there were still many tourists! I stayed in Linfen for one night, and it took about 2 hours to drive 70 km from Linfen to the parking lot in Xixian County. Navigation: Xiaoxitian Parking Lot, Xixian County, Shanxi Ticket office/online ticket purchase: CNY 35/person Important!!! Keep your ticket after visiting Xiaoxitian, and you can visit the Eighteen Levels of Hell in Dongyue Temple for free! From the entrance, you will pass by the poetry stele of Xiaoxitian, the release pool, climb the stairs to Phoenix Mountain, pass through the handprint tunnel, climb 81 steps, reach the first gate to Xitian, Wuliang Hall, climb to the second level of Mahavira Hall, and finally reach Xiaoxitian! This Zen temple, built in the Ming Dynasty, features over 1,900 mud sculptures of gods and Buddhas suspended in the air in a 169-square-meter hall! The area is simply divided into the front: the five Buddhas' niches, and the heavenly palace above! On the left and right sides are the ten disciples, the glazed holy realm on the left, and the six desires on the right! You can exit from the left side of Mahavira Hall and go down the mountain to finish your tour! No video or photo can compare to witnessing a myth with your own eyes~~ Xixian County is famous for its Yuluxiang pears, which are sweet and refreshing, and are sold everywhere in the county~ Off-season price: CNY 4/jin
