Small Town Slow Tour｜Forget Pingyao Ancient City, Shuanglin Temple is Enough!

In the past, when talking about Pingyao in Jinzhong, I, like most people, would first think of Pingyao Ancient City. But after personally visiting Pingyao, I realized that just a random Shuanglin Temple can easily outshine Pingyao Ancient City! 👉 Pingyao Ancient City All I saw were the Jin merchants' wives busy with travel photography and long queues at every restaurant. It seems that apart from these, there are no other memories of Pingyao Ancient City. 👉 Shuanglin Temple The full name of the attraction is Shuanglin Temple Colored Sculpture Art Museum. No wonder everyone says that the coolest and most handsome colored sculpture of Weituo in China is hidden here. A close-up shot is a must 📸 Tang locust trees, Song steles, Ming bells, Yuan and Ming colored sculptures, and ancient buildings from various dynasties—all these rare treasures can only be seen at Shuanglin Temple. The more than 2,000 colored sculptures here are truly stunning, living up to the name of the Colored Sculpture Art Museum! 🥢 Fenghou Restaurant Compared to the restaurants in Pingyao Ancient City, this low-key small restaurant opposite Shuanglin Temple not only has fewer people and large portions but is also super delicious. For just 30 yuan per person, you'll be full to the brim! Just the kaolaolao noodle dish alone can be enjoyed in three ways: with sauce, dry-fried, and cold mixed. Absolutely amazing!
