Shanxi

Shanxi, where China’s history begins, is a special representative of central plains’ culture. If you want to probe into the 5,000-year-old civilization of China, don’t miss Shanxi. Endowed with an abundance of cultural sites and historical remains, Shanxi has many evidences to show its splendors. Traveling Shanxi means a lot, like being immersed in the splendid Buddhist world of imposing Yungang Grottoes, challenging yourself to walk to the cliffside Hanging Temple, strolling the antique streets of Pingyao Ancient City, paying a Buddhist pilgrimage or a memorable hiking to Mount Wutai – One of the World 5 Famous Buddhist Holy Lands, or admiring the overwhelming magnificence of Hukou Waterfall, etc. Of course many other cultural highlights await your discovery.

How to Plan your Shanxi tour? Because of the high speed rails, many cities can be reached by high speed trains easily and it’s available to begin your Shanxi tours from Datong, Pingyao or Taiyuan. Generally, a classic Shanxi tour starts from Datong (in northern Shanxi) to Mount Wutai, Taiyuan, Pingyao, Hukou Waterfall, etc., taking 6 ~ 8 days usually. If your time permits, we suggest you extend your Shanxi tour, to Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Dengfeng in Henan and Xian in Shaanxi for more cultural experience.
