A cost-effective tourist spot, suitable for the public to travel
Previously, in the urban area of Longcheng Taiyuan, there were not many cost-effective and free tourist spots, perhaps apart from the old Yingze Park and the later transformed Fenhe Park, the attractions that could be listed in the hall of elegance were indeed few. However, this ancient city of Jinyang, which has experienced many changes, has become a truly beautiful Taiyuan Longcheng after several years of rapid development. The Jinyang Lake Scenic Area located in the ancient city of Jinyang is a bright card that Taiyuan and even Shanxi show to the world. The scenic area integrates mountains and lakes, ancient and modern, not only has a high cost performance, but also is suitable for the public to travel, suitable for all ages, and is open to the public for free all year round.
Scenic Area Overview: Jinyang Lake Scenic Area is located in Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, and is located near Dongru Village. It has the largest artificial lake in North China. The scenic area was initially positioned as leisure and modern as the main theme, with the ecological city as the entry point, fully reflecting the functions of the vibrant city and the dream city, and using the rare water resources to integrate the water tourism creativity of Dream Jinyang, combined with the ecological bird island and bird watching platform, to realize the desire and artistic conception of tourists to get close to nature and return to nature, and meet the needs of different tourists. Personally, I think the biggest highlight of Jinyang Lake Scenic Area is that it has four comprehensive functional bodies and seven scenic spots. Among them, the seven newly built scenic spots in the scenic area are the most eye-catching. Overview of the seven scenic spots in Jinyang Lake: Through water system landscapes such as waterfalls, streams, and water surfaces, combined with pavilions, towers, bridges, and Jinyuan garden culture, a cultural history corridor of Jinyuan style is formed.
Among the seven scenic spots in Jinyang Lake, the Jinyang Lake West Mountain Linyun Scenic Area is a major highlight. It is located at the commanding height of the lake view. With the West Bank piled mountain as the carrier, tourists can climb to see the ice and snow covered lake. In Jingetai, you can see the West Mountain Chang and taste the white clouds. In addition, there are agricultural ecological characteristic farming culture and cultural popular science characteristic Mengshan terraced garden attractions, as well as reed wetland characteristic reed pond attractions, and wetland, small island and ecological bridge corridor characteristic Quxi wetland attractions, forming the seven sceneries of Jinyang Lake. At present, the main play projects in Jinyang Lake Scenic Area are: In this season, the ice and snow carnival in Jinyang Lake Scenic Area is definitely a beautiful parent-child paradise. Here is full of ice and snow, from snow circle ice car to snowmobile and banana boat, each activity can make you feel unprecedented fun, various snow play projects will make you return to childhood.
Personally, I think the public bicycles in the scenic area of Jingyang Lake are definitely a beautiful scenery. The bicycles in the scenic area are novel and unique in design. Each bicycle is designed with four tires, mainly steering wheel type. Each seat has a pedal underneath, which can be controlled by multiple people at the same time, and can provide power for the car at the same time, which is effortless to ride. The appearance of the bicycle is like a convertible car, divided into two-person and multi-person structure types, mainly blue in color, yellow and blue in color, attached to a blue and white roof, rain and sun protection, dynamic and cool. In addition, after freezing, the surface of Jinyang Lake is like a mirror, like a huge gem embedded in the earth, shining under the sun, the once lively cruise ships are neatly arranged on the frozen lake, beautiful ice patterns crisscross, like the works of nature, it is spectacular.
The long-lost Jinyang Lake Scenic Area, various children's favorite amusement facilities are on stage, the antique sightseeing car is refreshing, various performances are full of festive joy, it is indeed a cost-effective tourist spot, why not come to Jinyang Lake this holiday? It is very suitable for the public to travel. Ticket policy: Taiyuan Jinyang Lake Scenic Area is open to the public for free all day. Traffic strategy: Non-self-driving tourists can take bus No. 72 or No. 839 to get there. Departing from Taiyuan Railway Station, you can take bus No. 606, and then transfer to bus No. 5 to get off at Jinsheng Station. Self-driving tourists can directly navigate to the North Third Gate of Jinyang Lake Park. The parking lot is located near the North Third Gate, and the parking fee is ten yuan each time. Friendly reminder: During this year's Spring Festival holiday, there is also a New Year's Lantern Festival on Peach Blossom Island in Jinyang Lake. Peach Blossom Island is located near the East Sixth Gate of the scenic area. In the evening, tourists can visit the carnival in Peach Blossom Island and watch the provincial lantern exhibition ceiling.

A homestay where you can lie in bed and view the lake
Check-in at Lake on Lake (accommodation in Taiyuan)
🔥Checked in at the recently popular Taiyuan homestay, Lake on Lake, located next to Jinyang Lake
🌼The view is great both day and night. The homestay comes with a coffee shop, which is usually empty in the morning and evening except for the crowded afternoons. You can sit by the window and daydream
❣️The view of the lake outside and the coming and going of cars is very healing
🌼The rooms have different themes. We booked the Tea House Story for over 300 a night. The room comes with tea sets and a projector, but you need to bring your own tea
🌼The room provides mineral water for 15 a bucket, and it seems to be the 4L size of Nongfu Spring
🌼The room decoration is also good with different themes. The most attractive points for me are the lake view outside the window and the overall recommendation of the projector tea set. You can give it a try

The Jin Yang Lake in early winter is beautiful without any filters
Don't miss the sunset in early winter if you have missed the falling leaves in autumn,
The winter in Shanxi is very cold, but the scenery is really amazing!
The Jin Yang Lake at five in the afternoon is really beautiful, the warm sun sprinkles on the sparkling lake, as if adding a beautiful filter, the gentle wind blows away tiredness and worries, sitting by the lake to enjoy the sunset is so comfortable~
The No.5 port is also a great place for taking photos! The blue sky and the lake complement each other, the blue is clear, the golden sunset glow is bright and warm, the cold and warm colors intersect, the color aesthetics is fully demonstrated~
Photo tips:
Choose to take photos by the lake between 4 and 5 in the afternoon, facing the sun, the lake seems to have its own filter, the sunlight reflecting on the lake can fill light, and you can also save the reflector, the photos taken are clear and bright!
After five o'clock, you can take backlit silhouettes, highlighting the characters and the environment, lowering the exposure, full of atmosphere!
My photo location is at the right port of the No.5 gate of Jin Yang Lake, it is suggested to wear solid color clothes for better photos, both black and white effects are good
