| These 6 places made me redefine shock. After traveling for so many years, I rarely use "shocking" to describe a place. These 6 places in 2024 let me see what is truly amazing. ✅ Dongyang Lu's House - Baogai Suoluolian Sanju Colorful Spike Sheep Horn Lamp Walking into Lu's House is like traveling back to the prosperous family of ancient times. The goat horn lamp is a treasure that protects the house. The lamp is 4.5 meters high and weighs 250 kilograms. There are three large lamps made of sheepskin, silk and goat horns connected in the middle. There are 6 strings of 24 small goat horn lamps and bead basket lamps hanging on the outside, which are made of 400,000 colorful glass beads. It was included in the Guinness World Records. ✅Xiaoxitian - Ceiling with hanging sculptures The hanging sculptures of Xiaoxitian are distributed in the main hall, making full use of the limited space to create a three-dimensional, multi-layered Buddhist world. The production of the hanging sculptures took 12 years, and more than 1,030 lifelike colored sculptures were carefully created in a space of 217 square meters. The characters are lifelike, with different postures, densely packed yet orderly. Each statue is the result of the painstaking efforts of ancient craftsmen, and one cannot help but marvel at the greatness of art. ✅Guangsheng Temple - Feihong Tower The most exquisite and best preserved glazed tower in existence, the tower is decorated with rich glazed components and patterns, with bright colors and fine workmanship, reflecting the superb glazed craftsmanship. Even on a cloudy day (it was raining heavily when I went there), the glazed tower is still dazzling. ✅Wanrong Feiyun Building Feiyun Building has three floors on the outside, but actually has five floors on the inside. The whole building does not use a single nail, and all components are connected with mortise and tenon structures to ensure the stability of the building. The brackets of Feiyun Tower are intricate and exquisite, layered one on top of the other, as light and floating as clouds, or like a bird spreading its wings about to fly. Looking up, one cannot help but admire the architectural wisdom of the ancients. ✅Yongle Palace The murals of Yongle Palace are famous for their grand scale, exquisite craftsmanship and profound historical and cultural connotations, especially the "Chao Yuan Tu" in the Sanqing Hall, which is colorful and lifelike, showing the Taoist immortal system and is known as the "Oriental Art Gallery". ‼ ️Since taking photos is prohibited inside the temple, the photos are replicas of the Yuncheng Museum ✅Jilue Huanggong Temple in Chaozhou - Woodcarving Walking into the Jilue Huanggong Temple is like walking into a temple of woodcarving art. Beams, brackets, brackets... everywhere is full of exquisite wood carvings, figures, flowers and birds, landscapes, dazzling and overwhelming - Each of these 6 places brought me unparalleled shock. If you also love traveling and exploring the unknown, you might as well go to these places. I believe you will be impressed by their charm.

Guangsheng Temple was first built in the first year of Jianhe (147 AD) during the reign of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was originally named Julushe Temple and was renamed Guangsheng Temple in the Tang Dynasty. Except for the Feihong Pagoda and the Main Hall of the Shang Temple which were rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, the rest are buildings from the Yuan Dynasty. It is divided into two temples, the lower temple is at the foot of the mountain and the upper temple is at the top of the mountain. Promise me that you will spend as much time as possible in Guangsheng Temple, because whether you go up or down the temple, it is worth savoring slowly and carefully. The most dazzling feature of Shang Temple is naturally the colorful glazed tower, also known as the Feihong Tower. It is also the filming location of the scene where Tang Monk sweeps the pagoda in the 1986 CCTV version of Journey to the West. The plan is octagonal, with 13 levels and a height of 47.63 meters. The tower body is made of blue bricks, and each floor has eaves. The entire tower is inlaid with yellow, green and blue colored glaze decorations. If you look closely, you can see mighty warriors, cute boys, and elegant Bodhisattvas... It is really dazzling and breathtaking. You can go inside and walk around the first floor, but it is very dark inside, so you have to walk carefully.

✅ Withstood 500 years of history and an 8.0 magnitude earthquake without damage! Before coming to Shanxi, I never thought a temple could be so beautiful that it would leave me in awe. Compared to the Yungang Grottoes and the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, this ancient temple is more low-key and has far fewer visitors. However, it is home to one of China's four ancient pagodas, the world's most well-preserved glazed pagoda! It's magnificent and exquisite.👍 ✅ The Feihong Pagoda stands in Guangsheng Temple, 17 km north of Hongdong County, Shanxi Province. Like a beautiful rainbow spanning time and space, it tells a story of a thousand years. This pagoda is not only a treasure of ancient Chinese architecture but also a brilliant pearl of Buddhist culture. The Feihong Pagoda was built in the Han Dynasty and was originally the Ashoka Pagoda. Over the course of history, it has undergone several repairs and reconstructions, and finally reached its current scale in the sixth year of the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (1527). The Feihong Pagoda is a pavilion-style pagoda with 13 stories, standing 47.6 meters tall, with a base diameter of about 14 meters. The entire pagoda is shaped like a cone, with a tall and slender shape and smooth lines, like a sword piercing the sky, showing the grandeur and magnificence of the ancient pagoda.👍 ❗️ Guangsheng Temple: Hongdong, Linfen, Shanxi Province ✅ Admission: 70; round-trip sightseeing bus: 20/person ✅ With its red walls and green tiles, this magnificent ancient architectural complex is the famous thousand-year-old Guangsheng Temple, the filming location of the Tang Monk sweeping the pagoda in the 1986 version of Journey to the West. The pagoda of Guangsheng Temple is called the Feihong Pagoda, one of China's four famous pagodas, and the world's most well-preserved glazed pagoda. Ming Dynasty scholar Wang Han once wrote a poem praising the Feihong Pagoda: "A pagoda stands in the blue sky, surrounded by green cypress trees swaying in the autumn wind. Clouds rise from the treasure hall, where monks meditate, and Mount Sumeru is within reach." As a first batch national key cultural relic protection unit, its value is self-evident.👍

Shanxi's land and water bear the memories of the hometown for Chinese people everywhere. Today, people come here to trace their roots, as if they can still see the scenes of their ancestors leaving their homes and being forced to migrate, with families torn apart. Curious friends might ask, where exactly is this place in Shanxi? What unique landscapes does it have? With these questions and curiosity, let's talk today about Hongtong County in Shanxi. Hongtong County is the most populous county in Shanxi, covering an area of 1,494 square kilometers. It is named after the 'Hong Cliff' to the south of the city and the 'Ancient Cave' to the north. Although there are not many tourists visiting Hongtong County in Shanxi for sightseeing, taking children for walks, and taking photos for social media check-ins, this place is indeed the ancestral home of Chinese people around the world. 'Ask me where my ancestors are from, under the great locust tree in Hongtong, Shanxi. What's the name of the ancestral home? Under the locust tree, the old stork nest.' A folk song, an ancient and sacred locust tree, witnessed the great migration during the Ming Dynasty 600 years ago, becoming the bond between Hongtong and countless Chinese descendants, carrying the nostalgia of numerous people, and also precipitating the root complex of 'the ancestral home of Chinese people' in Hongtong. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that Hongtong County also hides China's first glazed pagoda!

🚩There are too many places to travel in Shanxi, but when you see these exquisite ancient buildings, you will be shocked by their charm, and you will realize that the time left for us by these ancient buildings is not much. ✅ Location: Hongtong County, Linfen, Shanxi ✅ Scenic spot: Guangsheng Temple ✅ Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Hongtong West Station, and then take a taxi or bus to Guangsheng Temple (you can take the No. 21 bus directly to the scenic area) ✅ Tickets: 44 yuan ✅ Tips: 1. Guangsheng Temple is divided into lower temple and upper temple. The lower temple is located at the foot of the mountain, and the upper temple needs to climb the mountain to reach. There is a shuttle bus in the scenic area, which charges 10 yuan per person and can go up and down the mountain in 10 minutes. 2. Guangsheng Temple has three absolute features: First is the Feihong Tower, located in the upper temple, inlaid with glazed tiles all over, very exquisite; second is the Yuan Dynasty murals, located in the Water God Temple of the lower temple; and finally the Zhaocheng Gold Treasury, which is no longer in the temple. 3. In addition, there is a must-see Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva hanging sculpture, densely hanging on the roof, which is shocking. ❤️❤️❤️ Feihong Tower Feihong Tower is one of the five Buddhist relics towers of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the tower swept by Tang Monk in 'Sweeping the Tower and Arguing the Strange Injustice'. It is one of the tallest colorful glazed towers in the world. This tower was built in the Han Dynasty and was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty. It is inlaid with colorful glazed tiles all over, dazzling and shining with colorful lights. Various images are carved on the tower body, such as Bodhisattva, Vajra warriors and children, which are lifelike. Lonely Planet once commented: 'If ranking the buildings in Shanxi by appearance, Guangsheng Temple could be at the top with the Feihong Tower.' I hope to have the opportunity to explore the charm of more ancient buildings in Shanxi in the future.
