I prefer to call it Changping rather than Gaoping

📍Gaoping, a name you might not be too familiar with🤔, actually hides a profound historical significance✨. 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 history🗡️. As the birthplace of the Yan Emperor, it has witnessed the inheritance and transformation of Chinese civilization🌱. 🏞️ Stepping into Gaoping, you'll discover not only 6.6 billion tons of high-quality coal underground💎 but also 1,574 immovable cultural relics on the surface🏛️, averaging 1.7 relics per square kilometer! The area is rich in ancient architecture🏯, 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 eyes👀. 🚄How to reach this hidden gem? Take the high-speed train directly to Gaoping East Station🚄. Departing from Changzhi Station, the next stop is Jincheng East Station, which is very convenient!🏡 For accommodation, it's recommended to choose hotels near the high-speed rail station🏨, where transportation is extremely convenient🚗. 🚙Since public transportation in Gaoping is not very convenient, it is suggested to travel by car🚘. Here is a carefully planned ancient visit route for you: stay overnight in Jincheng the night before🌙, set off for Gaoping early the next morning🌞, and you can visit 6-8 essence spots in one day🌈. Afterwards, with Gaoping as your center, you can easily continue your exploration journey to Lingchuan and Changzhi🌏. Finally, leave by high-speed rail🚅, perfectly concluding your trip🌄. 🏞️Recommended attractions are coming! 1️⃣ Dazhou Village Ancient Temple Complex: Here you'll find the Ming Dynasty's Guanyin Hall🙏 and the Northern Song Dynasty's Zisheng Temple Pilu Hall🏯, with exquisite Qinglong colored paintings on the beams that will absolutely amaze you!😲 2️⃣ Chongming Temple: This temple has the earliest Northern Song wooden Buddha hall (971)🕌, with eaves proportions as grand as a bird spreading its wings🦜, stunningly beautiful😍. 3️⃣ Tiefo Temple: The inspiration for the colored sculpture of the black mythological Monkey King🐵, the sculptures here are unparalleled in the world🎨, and the opening date is just around the corner, don't miss it!🙅 4️⃣ Dinglin Temple: Known as the most beautiful mountain temple in the north🏞️, its five-eaved mountain gate is breathtakingly beautiful🌸.
