Guest User: Less than two kilometers from Golden Sands Beach, with plenty of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. It's also very close to the subway station, making it much more convenient than hotels right on the beach. Shuangheyuan is right downstairs. The room had good ventilation, and the bedding was soft and helped with sleep. Staff were prompt in addressing any needs, and a special shout-out to Yulia for her professional and enthusiastic service. The breakfast was also very delicious, with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend for a vacation in Huangdao.

Guest User: It is hard to understand how a hotel can have so many problems in two nights, power outage at 10pm + changing four rooms + excavator downstairs at 11pm + crazy knocking on the door while I was sleeping soundly and listening to the male supervisor apologize 1The air conditioner in the first room was a bit noisy, so I changed to the second room 2 The hotel lost power at around 10pm that night and it was completely dark. There was no emergency lighting and no one notified what had happened. 3. I woke up the next morning and found that there was no cover on the bathroom window. The whole room was bright and I couldn't sleep at all. 4 I changed to a third room because I hired a car and was not in the hotel for a day. I left my luggage in the room and left. When I came back and opened the door, the room smelled like a public toilet. 5 changed to the fourth room…The excavator started working downstairs at around 11 o'clock. I'm impressed... I've never seen a large machine working in a city center at 11pm. I was going to change the fifth room, but after a while, the quarrel between other communities and excavators ended. 6I thought the disaster would be over after I checked out the next day. Who would have thought that a male supervisor would knock on my door frantically at around nine in the morning to apologize to me when I was fast asleep. No one paid any attention to him and he kept knocking on the door. What kind of new type of boss is this? ? No matter whether the customer is resting or not, as long as you want to apologize, it doesn’t matter what time it is? ? Is it polite for a man to knock on a woman's door frantically, either at night or in the morning? ? Three stars because the general manager finally came to apologize and refunded the room fee, but the first thing he said to me was that there was construction going on next door to the hotel. Construction next door to the hotel is the least of your problems. I don't know how the employees report the situation. The hotel staff was very nice throughout the whole process and actively changed rooms, but there was no apology or compensation. We changed four rooms but no one offered to help us upgrade the room or anything like that. When I was about to change to the fifth room and I was already very dissatisfied, they said they would give me a fruit plate so that I would not give a bad review... After knowing that I would definitely describe the room truthfully, they knocked on the door frantically early in the morning... What an incredible way to handle the problem.

From IDR 258,641
Guest User: My stay at the Yuncheng丽亭 Hotel truly exceeded my expectations, a definite five-star rating! Traveling with a child, I always worry about inconveniences, but the hotel was incredibly thoughtful. They proactively offered a complimentary breakfast for my little one, which made my child happy and saved me a lot of hassle. Plus, the hotel provides pick-up and drop-off services, eliminating the struggle of dragging luggage and looking for a taxi with a child – it made getting around so much easier. What touched me most was the staff's service attitude. From check-in to check-out, everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful, ready to answer any questions, making me feel so welcome. In short, I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Yuncheng. Highly recommend it for families traveling with kids!
Directly opposite the South Gate of Hengze Garden Tian'e Bay, Tiaoshan Street
From IDR 645,240
Anonymous User: Traveling to Yuncheng with my elderly parents, this hotel offered excellent value for money. The welcome fruit, snacks, and mini-fridge beverages were replenished daily and were all complimentary. There was even a list in the room of items you could borrow. The hairdryer was definitely a hit for those with long hair. The hotel proactively contacted me beforehand to inquire about room preferences and helped arrange rooms on the same floor. The front desk service was also spot on. We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant for three consecutive nights, and my parents were very satisfied. My only suggestion would be that if Yuncheng ever becomes a smoke-free city, it would be great if the hotel could have a few completely smoke-free rooms equipped with smoke detectors and sprinkler systems.

In the evenings, there's a thoughtful and heartwarming complimentary late-night congee and snack buffet. The breakfast buffet also offers a wide variety. Plus, they provide an airport shuttle service, which is a huge convenience. You can't go wrong choosing this hotel for your travels. This morning, before checking out, they even gave us a small gift, and the airport shuttle driver arrived on time for our pick-up and drop-off. We are very grateful. This hotel is definitely worth staying at.

On this Shanxi road trip, I made a point to visit this vacation farm by the Yellow River. It’s ranked No. 1 on the Shanxi Vacation Farm list, and only after checking in did I truly understand what it means to open your window to a view of the great river. Opened in 2024, the farm is located next to the Dayudu Yellow River Scenic Area in Ruicheng, just a 910-meter walk from the Yellow River. Wooden cabins are scattered across the grassy slopes of Yellow River Bay. Looking up, you see the magnificent Yellow River winding ahead. With distant mountains, the great river, and the grassland all in one frame, the expansive view instantly brings a sense of calm. I booked a river-view room with full smart room controls, allowing me to enjoy the Yellow River's changing light from dawn to dusk while lying in bed. In the morning, I watched thin mist cover the river, and in the evening, I waited for the sunset to paint the Yellow River gold—the ambiance was incredible. The farm offers butler service with thoughtful, responsive care. It’s also pet-friendly, so you can bring your furry friends along. There’s a wide selection of room types, including twin, family, and triple rooms, making it a great choice for family trips with seniors and children. ✨Farm experience highlights 1. Excellent location, right next to the Dayudu Yellow River Scenic Area. In your free time, you can stroll through the scenic area and experience Yellow River culture. 2. Well-equipped with a large outdoor lawn, perfect for walking, camping, taking photos, and watching the Yellow River sunset. 3. Great for families. As a family-friendly hotel, children can run freely on the grass and get close to nature. 💡Travel tips 1. Rooms are in high demand on popular dates, so we recommend booking in advance. If there’s no availability, you can set up a room alert. 2. We recommend driving. The farm has convenient parking, and the scenery along the Yellow River is beautiful, making it perfect for a road trip along the southern Shanxi route. 3. There is a large temperature difference between day and night. It gets quite windy near the Yellow River in the evening, so remember to bring a light jacket. 4. Bring your camera. The Yellow River sunset in the evening is the signature view here, and every shot is a masterpiece. Escape the city hustle and bustle, spend a night by the Yellow River Bay, listen to the flowing water, and take in the vast landscape. For a vacation in Ruicheng, Shanxi, this farm is perfect for slowing down and recharging.

The pace is comfortable, with no rushing and no backtracking!

Extremely delicate brick carvings that replicate the daily life of a thousand years ago. 💡A few thoughts Yuncheng is really not a "viral" tourist city. But every ancient site here is a genuine national treasure. It's not overly commercialized—just quiet, profound, and healing. If you love ancient architecture, humanities, and slow travel, you must come here at least once!
If you know, you know! Shanxi is more than just ancient cities! Luya Mountain is a hidden wilderness gem😭 When people think of Shanxi, the first things that come to mind are the Ancient City of Pingyao and the Shanxi Merchant Courtyards! I was completely blown away by my visit to Luya Mountain. Who knew Shanxi hid such stunning natural scenery✨ It's uncrowded, not overly commercialized, and affordable. You get it all in one trip: alpine meadows, a million-year-old ice cave, hanging villages on cliffs, and cloud-covered forests. I really struck gold! 📍Location: Luya Mountain, Ningwu, Xinzhou, Shanxi 🌿Malun Grassland | North China Alpine Meadow At an altitude of over 2,000 meters, the sub-alpine meadow opens up before your eyes! Green grass spreads across the mountains, cattle and sheep graze leisurely, and the strange peaks of Luya Mountain stand in the distance. It's very easy to encounter a sea of clouds on mornings after rain, with mist rolling through the valleys. Standing on the meadow, the wind carries the scent of grass and trees—it's like a mini Altay for photos🌈 No need to fight crowds; just find a patch of grass, sit back, and zone out. It's incredibly healing. ❄️Million-Year Ice Cave | A 3-million-year-old ice and snow wonder It completely defies imagination! It's sunny and hot outside, but the cave stays at a constant -4°C. Inside, you're surrounded by ice pillars and ice waterfalls. When the colorful lights hit them, they look crystal clear, like stepping into a palace from Frozen. It's very cold inside, so you can rent a padded jacket on-site. You must experience this magical contrast of "midsummer outside, deep winter inside" for yourself. 🏡Hanging Ancient Village (Wanghuagou) | A village on a cliff Truly breathtaking! The village is built on a 2,300-meter cliff. The back half of the wooden houses leans against the mountain, while the front half is supported by sturdy wooden pillars, with wooden walkways extending along the cliff edge. A few original residents still live in the village; there are no crowds of influencer shops, just quiet, original ecology. At sunset, the light hits the wooden houses, creating an incredible atmosphere. Walking on the boardwalk, you look down into a bottomless valley. ⛰️Luya Mountain Main Peak & Primitive Forest The path takes you through dense, primitive forests, lush with green. If you're lucky enough to encounter heavy fog, the whole mountain is wrapped in mist, with clouds flowing through the trees, as if you've stepped into a fantasy realm. If you're not feeling up to the climb, just hiking through the forest is comfortable enough. 🍜Local Food & Accommodation Eat and stay in Dongzhai Town for great value! I recommend youmian kaolaolao (oat noodles), potato stewed with lamb, and stir-fried mountain mushrooms with meat—all made with local ingredients, with generous portions at affordable prices. There are many homestay options in town, where you can get a clean room for around 100 yuan, so there's no need to squeeze into expensive scenic area hotels. ⚠️Travel Tips 1. The attractions are far apart, so I highly recommend driving yourself or hiring a car. There are no shuttle buses to the Ice Cave or Hanging Village on the north line! 2. The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is huge! Even in summer, it's very cool on the mountain, so be sure to bring a windbreaker. 3. The mountain roads have many curves, so drive slowly and watch out for falling rocks. Wear non-slip sneakers, as there are quite a few steps to hike. 4. You can buy tickets separately; no need to buy the full set at once. Choose what you need, and the overall ticket prices aren't expensive. 5. The UV rays are strong on the mountain, so bring sunscreen and mosquito repellent. There aren't many convenience stores in the mountains, so bring your own water and snacks. I really love this kind of scenery that isn't over-packaged. No noisy influencer shops, just the wilderness, ice caves, and ancient cliff villages—all quiet and peaceful. If you want to escape the city and see original, natural scenery, Luya Mountain is the place.
Hello~ I'm Ziran, a travel lover. After completing the Southern Shanxi ancient architecture loop, I truly felt the profound history of Shanxi. Sharing a complete 7-day, 6-night itinerary reference, along with 3 useful travel tips. 📝 Itinerary reference (departing from Guangzhou) Day 1 Guangzhou → Linfen Yaodu Airport. Check into a hotel in downtown Linfen. Rent a shared e-bike to explore the Linfen Drum Tower, snack street, and the Linfen internet-famous wall. Day 2 Tiefo Temple (Dayun Temple), Linfen Museum (both are closed on Mondays). ———Self-driving starts from Day 3——— Day 3 Morning: Fencheng Ancient Architectural Complex | Afternoon: Xi County, enjoy local food, see the Drum Tower night view, stay near Xiaoxitian in Xi County. Day 4 Early morning: Xiaoxitian | Afternoon: Hukou Waterfall (both Shanxi and Shaanxi sides), stay in Ji County. Day 5 Drive towards Yuncheng. Morning: Wanrong Houtu Temple (Qiufeng Tower) | Afternoon: Feiyun Tower | Evening: Head to Jiezhou, stay near Jiezhou Guandi Temple. Day 6 Morning: Jiezhou Guandi Temple | Afternoon: Ruicheng Yongle Palace, Guangrenwang Temple | Evening: Arrive in downtown Yuncheng, stay in Yanhu District. Day 7 One-day tour of downtown Yuncheng Salt Lake: Yuncheng Museum, Gu Street, Catholic Church, Chishen Temple, Highway 006 photo spot. Return the car near the airport, Yuncheng Yanhu Airport → Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. If you don't do these 3 things, your travel experience will be greatly diminished: 1️⃣ Don't forget a telephoto/teleconverter lens Shanxi's ancient architecture hides a wealth of exquisite details; the roof beasts, caisson ceilings, and hanging sculptures are all incredibly beautiful. However, due to the height of the buildings and cultural relic protection, you often can't get close. Bringing a teleconverter lens is the only way to bring those complex and delicate patterns up close to capture them. I forgot to bring my lens to Xiaoxitian in Xi County, and I still consider it a small regret of this trip. 2️⃣ Don't self-drive without planning your route The ancient architecture in Shanxi is very scattered. Even within the same city, traveling between different counties and towns can take one to two hours. Unless the attractions are very close to each other, try not to schedule more than 2 spots in one day. 3️⃣ Don't skip hiring a guide Even if you've done your homework in advance, I highly recommend hiring a guide. The architectural logic, the Buddhist and Taoist stories behind the murals and sculptures—many of the true highlights of the attractions need a professional guide to explain them in detail. You can no longer climb the Feihong Pagoda at Guangsheng Temple, but our guide shared real photos of the glazed caisson ceiling with us. At Xiaoxitian, facing the niches filled with gods and Buddhas, it was also thanks to the guide that I understood the stories of the sculptors and the concept of the "Five Buddhas in One Hall." It helps you understand the blend of heavenly atmosphere and human life.

This Chunyang Palace is both a Taoist temple dedicated to Lü Dongbin and the Shanxi Museum of Ancient Architecture. It is uncrowded and rich in artifacts; you could easily spend an entire afternoon here. ▫️ About Chunyang Palace Also known as the Lüzu Temple, it was built in the Yuan Dynasty and expanded during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is the central temple among the three major Taoist temples in Shanxi, with the Yongle Palace to the south and the Datong Chunyang Palace to the north.

I hadn't originally planned to visit the Stork Tower, as it's a reconstruction completed in 2002. However, I came across a travelogue about climbing it, and perhaps the focus for modern people isn't so much on whether it's an ancient building, but rather on Wang Zhihuan's famous line, "To see a thousand miles further, climb one more story." When you reach the top and gaze into the distance—the Yellow River, the Zhongtiao Mountains, the blue sky and white clouds overhead, the wind blowing from Fengling Ferry—don't we feel the same sentiment as Wang Zhihuan back then? Sometimes, even a simple visit can lead to unexpected experiences. The scenic area has set up signature boards for each province, autonomous region, municipality, and region. Surprisingly, this tourist experience made the friendship between Qin and Jin (Shaanxi and Shaanxi) more tangible. The board for Shaanxi Province has already been replaced twice, as it's become too densely packed with signatures from friends from neighboring Shaanxi. The scenic area simply put up a sign at the very front of the signature corridor that reads "Qin People Gather!" It looks like it'll be full soon too.
M52***90The Yongle Palace murals are Yuan Dynasty Taoist murals located in Yongle Palace, Ruicheng, Shanxi Province. Covering a total area of 1005.68 square meters, they are known as the "Oriental Gallery" and represent the pinnacle of ancient Chinese temple and monastery murals.
Anonymous userThe ancestral temple of Guan Yu, one of the 30,000 temples worldwide, is indeed magnificent and awe-inspiring. Several emperors personally inscribed plaques, making it a royal temple exuding grandeur. It's a bit far from the city center, so it's advisable to plan your time accordingly.
爱旅游的孔雀The scenic area isn't large; it takes a little over an hour to tour the whole thing. Many parts of the area are thoughtfully designed, and the paintings and text on the walls are quite interesting. Although there were many people during the National Day holiday, it didn't feel crowded.
Anonymous userBrought the kids there, the cultural relics and ancient buildings were really shocking. We asked for a guide and learned some history. It's really worth a visit. Not many people there, so it's worth it. The only thing is that the incense and worship items in the main hall are quite expensive. We went to the Temple of the God of Wealth at the back, where the incense prices are more affordable.
W～一抹微笑This place is definitely worth visiting. The character, kindness, generosity, and love of Shanxi merchants can be fully experienced here. I am deeply amazed by the harmonious blend of artistry and practicality in Chinese architecture; it fills me with immense pride.
呼莲Wanrong Feiyun Tower, hailed as the No. 1 wooden tower in China, is a pinnacle of ancient Chinese wooden architecture. The entire tower is constructed entirely of wood, without a single iron nail, relying solely on mortise and tenon joints for connection – a testament to its ingenious design. While appearing to have three stories, it actually contains five, with four colossal pillars extending from the ground floor to the roof, supported by 32 auxiliary pillars forming a stable framework. Beneath the eaves are 345 sets of uniquely shaped brackets, layered like clusters of clouds, both sharing the load and possessing aesthetic appeal. Thirty-two upturned eaves gracefully extend into the air, their chimes ringing in the wind. Standing below and looking up, the orderly arrangement of the wooden components, standing firm through centuries of wind and rain, fully demonstrates the superb construction skills of ancient craftsmen, making it a must-see wooden architectural marvel in Shanxi.
西北禾木Climb the ladder up, take the elevator down. Definitely don't take the elevator up and go down the stairs! Your legs will go weak! Climbing the ladder isn't as difficult as you might imagine, but you've only climbed about a third of the way; you have to keep going to reach the top. It's worth it! By the way, the prices in the scenic area are very reasonable; items at the top are only one yuan more expensive than usual, which is perfectly acceptable. Also, the scenic area's special performances are really good; the people performing so gracefully at such a height are truly admirable.
M24***35On the Loess Plateau, the minimalist aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty shine through. Hidden in the southern Shanxi plateau is the Guangrenwang Temple, a single-eaved hip roof structure with imposing bracket sets and deep eaves. It is the only Tang Dynasty Taoist wooden structure in my country. Without ornate carvings, its simple grandeur embodies the essence of the Tang Dynasty. Without elaborate decorations, its minimalist structure is its aesthetic.
