Why is Taiyuan City not built in Taiyuan Basin?

1. Geological conditions: Taiyuan Basin is a closed basin with low terrain, prone to water accumulation and flood disasters.

2. Land use: The geological conditions in the basin are poor, there are many mountains, and the land utilization space is limited. However, around the Taiyuan Basin, there are few and flat mountains, which is more suitable for urban planning and construction.
