I prefer to call it Changping rather than Gaoping

šŸ“Gaoping, a name you might not be too familiar withšŸ¤”, actually hides a profound historical significanceāœØ. Did you know? It was once 'Changping', the site of the Battle of Changping during the waning years of the Warring States period, which altered the course of Chinese historyšŸ—”ļø. As the birthplace of the Yan Emperor, it has witnessed the inheritance and transformation of Chinese civilizationšŸŒ±. šŸžļø Stepping into Gaoping, you'll discover not only 6.6 billion tons of high-quality coal undergroundšŸ’Ž but also 1,574 immovable cultural relics on the surfacešŸ›ļø, averaging 1.7 relics per square kilometer! The area is rich in ancient architecturešŸÆ, especially from the Song and Jin dynasties, with numbers surpassing those south of the Yangtze River, resembling a 'Museum of Ancient Chinese Architecture' before your eyesšŸ‘€. šŸš„How to reach this hidden gem? Take the high-speed train directly to Gaoping East StationšŸš„. Departing from Changzhi Station, the next stop is Jincheng East Station, which is very convenient!šŸ” For accommodation, it's recommended to choose hotels near the high-speed rail stationšŸØ, where transportation is extremely convenientšŸš—. šŸš™Since public transportation in Gaoping is not very convenient, it is suggested to travel by caršŸš˜. Here is a carefully planned ancient visit route for you: stay overnight in Jincheng the night beforešŸŒ™, set off for Gaoping early the next morningšŸŒž, and you can visit 6-8 essence spots in one dayšŸŒˆ. Afterwards, with Gaoping as your center, you can easily continue your exploration journey to Lingchuan and ChangzhišŸŒ. Finally, leave by high-speed railšŸš…, perfectly concluding your tripšŸŒ„. šŸžļøRecommended attractions are coming! 1ļøāƒ£ Dazhou Village Ancient Temple Complex: Here you'll find the Ming Dynasty's Guanyin HallšŸ™ and the Northern Song Dynasty's Zisheng Temple Pilu HallšŸÆ, with exquisite Qinglong colored paintings on the beams that will absolutely amaze you!šŸ˜² 2ļøāƒ£ Chongming Temple: This temple has the earliest Northern Song wooden Buddha hall (971)šŸ•Œ, with eaves proportions as grand as a bird spreading its wingsšŸ¦œ, stunningly beautifulšŸ˜. 3ļøāƒ£ Tiefo Temple: The inspiration for the colored sculpture of the black mythological Monkey KingšŸµ, the sculptures here are unparalleled in the worldšŸŽØ, and the opening date is just around the corner, don't miss it!šŸ™… 4ļøāƒ£ Dinglin Temple: Known as the most beautiful mountain temple in the northšŸžļø, its five-eaved mountain gate is breathtakingly beautifulšŸŒø. The Leiyin Hall is a masterpiece of Jin Dynasty wooden constructionšŸ‘Œ. 5ļøāƒ£ Kaihua Temple: The Mahavira Hall is a wooden structure from the sixth year of Xining (1073)šŸÆ, with Song Dynasty beam paintingsšŸŽØ. The 'Qingliang Lanwo Map' here is even older than the 'Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival'!šŸ“œ 6ļøāƒ£ Wangbao Erlang Temple: The oldest existing theater stagešŸŽ­, built during the Jin Dynasty, is rarely shown with the mountain as a backdropšŸžļø, letting you appreciate the wisdom and creativity of the ancientsšŸ’”. 7ļøāƒ£ Bofang Xianweng Temple: The Ming Dynasty 'Emperor Xuanzong's Fengshan Picture' mural here is the only one that existsšŸŽØ, with extremely high historical valuešŸ“œ. 8ļøāƒ£ Youxian Temple: The Pilu Hall from the first year of Chunhua (990) is a Northern Song three-bay wooden structure masterpiecešŸÆ, worthy of your careful appreciationšŸ‘€. šŸžļø Come to Gaoping and feel the historical charm and cultural atmosphere of this land!šŸŒˆ
