A must-see attraction on a one-day trip to Xinzhou

Fushan Garden is located on the west slope of Duncun, adjacent to Duncun Cultural Square in the north, covering an area of ??about four square meters. More than ten acres.

Fushan Garden was built in April 2007. It is a cultural tourist attraction jointly developed by Duncun Hot Spring Tourism Development Co., Ltd., with land provided by Duncun Hot Spring Resort Management Office and investment by the Duncun Hot Spring Resort Management Office.

Fushan Garden faces south and faces north. The garden is divided into two courtyards. The north courtyard is larger as soon as you enter the gate. The east of the courtyard is the celebrity calligraphy and painting hall, which once held an exhibition of calligraphy and painting Mr. Lu Feng of Xinzhou City. To the west of the courtyard is the Fushan Painting and Calligraphy Academy, where calligraphy and painting activities are often held, and calligraphy and paintings about leaders and calligraphers are hung.

The inner room houses a traditional fire kang and pot stove, while the outer room is the living room. The south room is a grand view of Xinzhou's ancient folk customs. There are small clay sculptures of various folk activities in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which are cute and lifelike. The east room is a room where celebrities from past dynasties discussed Fu Shan. On the wall are Fu Shan's works and comments by famous celebrities from past dynasties.

Fushan Garden is currently the dissemination base of Fushan culture in Xinzhou and is also a major tourist attraction in Duncun Hot Spring Resort. The Fushan Cultural Research Association holds theme activities here every year, and the Fushan Painting and Calligraphy Academy holds calligraphy and painting and exhibition activities from time to time. Fushan Garden is a tourist attraction for people to travel, relax and vacation.

The development of hot spring resorts has made Duncun a star on the Universiade Expressway. The government also timely regarded Duncun as a window for external development. I believe that with the joint efforts of all sectors of society, Duncun will have a better tomorrow.

Duncun International Ski Resort

Duncun International Ski Resort is located in Duncun, Xinzhou, a nationally renowned hot spring town. It is 1.5 kilometers away from the Duncun exit of Dayun Expressway, next to Dunqi Highway, 4 kilometers away from Xinzhou City, and 60 kilometers away from the provincial capital Taiyuan.

It is adjacent to more than 20 tourist attractions such as Wutai Mountain, Yuwang Cave, and Luya Mountain. Self-driving tourists only need half an hour's drive from Taiyuan to reach the ski resort.

Xingguo Temple

Address: Xingsi Street, Xinfu District, Xinzhou City

Xingguo Temple is located on Xingsi Street in Xinzhou City. According to the inscription: Xingguo Temple was built in the sixth year of Emperor Wude of the Tang Dynasty (623). It was originally named Shengguo Temple. In the first year of Tang Shengli (698), it was renamed Taiping Xingguo Zen Temple. In the Changxing period of the later Tang Dynasty (930-933), it was renamed Xingguo Temple. The temple used to be large in scale. When the Tianwang Hall was being repaired recently, a wooden board on the beam was found with the inscription: "The Tang Dynasty granted Taiping Xingguo Zen Temple to Xinzhou City, surrounded by twelve courtyards. It was rebuilt in the Hongwu year of the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in the Chenghua year. It was rebuilt again in the Hongye year and in August of the 26th year of the Jiajing reign. In April of the 11th year of the Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty, the Buddhist hall, corridors and walls were rebuilt. A temple built by royal decree has never been repaired since the Qing Dynasty. Coupled with man-made damage, especially the demolition of temples and statues during the "Rebellion" period, it was almost reduced to rubble. Only one building, the Tianwang Hall, survived. Master Jichang, the president of the Xinfu District Buddhist Association, saw this dilapidated situation and decided to restore the ancient temple. The Master went around collecting donations and raised his own funds to build the temple statue. Now the main hall and the east and west auxiliary halls have been built.

Opposite the Main Hall is the Tianwang Hall, which is three rooms wide and three rooms deep. It has a single eaves on the top of the mountain, lotus-shaped brackets, and yellow glazed tiles. There are two pillars in the hall supporting the beams and beams. This structure is the "column reduction method" and is a legacy of the Tang Dynasty.

Xiangyang Ruins

Address: 500 meters east of Xiangyang Village, Douluo Town, Xinfu District

The ruins are 800 meters long from east to west and 600 meters wide from north to south. In 1957 Discovered, not excavated. The cultural layer is 0.5 to 2.5 meters thick, including the Yangshao and Longshan cultures, with the Longshan culture as the main site. The ruins include semi-crypts and white gray floors. The unearthed relics include basins, jars, etc., and pottery fragments include red pottery, gray pottery, sand-filled pottery, etc. Now part of it has been washed away by the Muma River, and the rest is well preserved.

Diao Chan Cemetery

Diao Chan, one of the four beauties in ancient China, with a surname of Ren and a small name of Hongchang, was born in Mu'er Village, Jiuyuan County, Bingzhou County, and was selected into the palace at the age of 15. , in charge of the Diao Chan (hat ornament worn by Han Dynasty attendants) worn by courtiers, and has since been renamed Diao Chan. The hometown of Diao Chan is in Muzhi Village, three kilometers southeast of Xinzhou City, on the way to Yuwang Cave from Taiyuan or Xinzhou. Muzhi Village was originally rich in fungus, so it was named Muzhi Village. Later, because a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum was found under the locust tree in the village, it was renamed Muzhi Village.

There are rumors in the village that the peach and apricot trees in the village stopped blooming three years before Diao Chan was born, and the peach and apricot trees are still struggling to survive. It is said that Diao Chan is shy of flowers. The village originally had a street archway, front hall, back hall, Wang Yun Street, Diao Chan stage and Diao Chan's tomb. The current tourist attraction is called Diaochan Cemetery, which was restored and built by villagers on the original site of the cemetery in recent years. A horizontal plaque reading "Diao Chan Cemetery" hangs on the eaves of the door, and on both sides there are bronze inscriptions and couplets "Closing the moon and humiliating flowers are the pride of China; enduring humiliation and perilous steps makes men raise their eyebrows." According to the legend of the villagers, after the three Taoyuan brothers came to power, they sent Diao Chan back to his hometown and buried her here after her death. It is also said that Diao Chan threw her sword and killed herself. After Guan Yu learned about it, he escorted the body back to his hometown for burial. Therefore, the statue of Guan Yu in the back hall and the stage in front of the hall representing Diao Chan's performance are all to repay Guan Yu's kindness in refusing to kill and escorting him. Zhonghuo Village in the southeast of Dingxiang County is the hometown of Lu Bu. There are folk legends such as "Huo Qingquan", "Smart Capture of the Red Rabbit Horse", and "Crooked Neck Tree", all related to Lu Bu.

Tomb of Gongsun Chujiu

The tomb of Gongsun Chujiu is located one kilometer east of Xinzhou City. Gongsun Chujiu was a native of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period. In the third year of Jin Jinggong (597 BC) and Cheng Ying conspired to hide Zhao Wu, the orphan of the Zhao family, and sacrificed his life.

There are existing ancestral halls and tombs in the cemetery area. The ancestral hall is a rectangular courtyard, covering an area of ??about 7 acres. There are more than 20 existing buildings and halls, and 5 main halls. In the center is the Gongsun Peijiu ancestral hall. There are statues of Gongsun Peijiu and his wife in the wooden pavilion of the shrine.

The tomb area is located 200 meters south of the ancestral hall. The tomb mound is 2.3 meters high. In front of the tomb is a stele inscribed "Tomb of Jin Yishi Gongsun Peijiu" in the 11th year of Zhengde in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Jin'an Temple in Xianrendong

Jin'an Temple in Xianrendong is eight rooms wide and 14.87 meters wide, and two rooms deep is 5.45 meters. There is a black hole on the right wall, about 1 meter high, which leads to another small temple on the cliff to the east of the temple. Today, the small temple has been destroyed, leaving only one hanging pillar supporting the temple. If the wind blows slightly, it will sway left and right. The locals call it "Pala Pillar". It is said that this cave is 21 kilometers long and leads to the "Chaoyang Cave" on another mountain peak. In the past, explorers entered Chaoyang Cave and walked a few kilometers. Because the cave was eerie and scary, and big snakes often appeared, they had no choice but to return with regrets.

Jindong Temple

Jindong Temple is located on a hillside 1.5 kilometers west of Xihuyan Village, Hesuo Township, Xinfu District, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province. Jindong Temple is located at the foot of Longmen Mountain 20 kilometers west of Xinzhou City. It is also known as "Longmen Temple" and covers an area of ??about 10 acres. It was originally composed of three temples: the upper, middle and lower temples. The upper temple, Jinguang Temple, is on the hillside of Longmen Mountain, and the middle temple, Tietou Temple, is in Longmen Valley. The upper courtyard and the middle courtyard have been destroyed, and now only the Jindong Temple is well preserved.

The main hall of Jindong Temple is the Manjusri Hall, which is located on a 2-meter-high step. It is a mountaintop-style building with a width of 10.5 meters and a depth of 11.7 meters. There is Vajra Bodhisattva in the main hall. The entire hall is majestic and magnificent, completely preserving the original architectural appearance of the seventh year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1528).

Southwest of the Manjusri Hall is the Corner Hall built before the eighth year of Yuanyou (1093) in the Northern Song Dynasty. The Corner Hall is the earliest existing wooden structure building in Xinzhou City. It is a single-eave hilltop-style building, which is in sharp contrast to the Wenshu Hall: the Wenshu Hall has a steep house and handsome and gorgeous brackets; the corner hall's tile roof is gently folded and the brackets are fat and simple. The depth and width of the corner hall are both 9.5 meters, and it is square. The beams in the hall are all exposed and neatly cut, completely in the architectural structural style of the Song Dynasty. The shrine in the temple is supported by two rear gold pillars. It was made in the Jin Dynasty. It is a two-story architectural model made according to the actual scale. It is rare in other temples and is truly a treasure. This hall is dedicated to Shen Nong and Fu Xi. The wooden statues are lifelike. The plaque on the shrine reads: "The Pavilion where the Master Blessed the People."

To the east of the Manjusri Hall is the Sanjiao Hall, which was established in the 20th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1541) ) was rebuilt into a three-religious hall-style building hanging on the top of the mountain. There were original statues of Confucius, Sakyamuni and Laozi. The three religious leaders are sculpted together, named after the Hall of Three Religions, and are actually the palace of the "united front" of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

In front of the Sanjiao Hall is the Puxian Hall, which was built in the 27th year of Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1688). It is a mountain-top-style building. There was originally a statue of Samantabhadra riding an elephant in the hall. Together with Manjusri, Guanyin and Ksitigarbha, they were known as the four great Bodhisattvas of the Western Heaven, Sakyamuni Buddha. Close to the mountain gate in the south are the Nainai Temple and the Laoye Temple: the one on the west side is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, the one on the east side is decorated with the statue of Guan Yu, the martial arts saint most worshiped by Shanxi people, and the middle one is set up as a passing hall.

Jindong Temple has a long history, with buildings from the Song, Ming and Qing eras. It is a treasure house for studying ancient Chinese architecture. In May 2006, Jindong Temple, as an ancient building from the Song to Qing Dynasties, was approved by the State Council to be included in the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.

Good places to visit in Xinzhou

Qicun Hot Spring

Shanxi Qicun Hot Spring, one of the four famous hot springs in the world, is located in Qicun Town. Qicun Town is located in Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, 20 kilometers away from the urban area. It is the political, economic and cultural center in the northwest of Xinzhou City.

Qicun Town was known as the hometown of hot springs in ancient times. The hot spring group is located on the east side of Mianquan Mountain. The hot spring field covers an area of ??2.5 square kilometers. There are currently 9 hot wells with a depth of 30 to 80 meters and a water temperature of 43°C to 72°C. The water volume is 3000m3 per day. The water quality is high-quality super composite spring water containing radon, hydrogen sulfide and silicate.

At present, my country's medical community divides hot spring water into 12 categories based on the quality of hot spring water and the medical value and health care effects of trace minerals contained in it.

The first category is radon springs containing radioactive elements. Qicun Hot Spring contains 309 Bec/L of radon, which is three times the national standard of 110 Bec/L for radon springs. The third category is hydrogen sulfide spring. Qicun Hot Spring contains 12.7 mg/liter of hydrogen sulfide, which is 12 times the international hydrogen sulfide spring of 1 mg/liter. Qicun Hot Spring, a Category 8 silicic acid spring, contains 58 mg/L of silicic acid, which is seven times the national standard of 8 mg/L of silicic acid spring. Therefore, the hot spring is a super composite spring of the first, third and eighth types of hot springs. Measured by the water quality, mineral content, and medical value of Qicun Hot Spring, there are currently only four found in the world. Except for one in Japan, the other three are all in my country, namely: Lushan in Jiangxi, Huitang in Hunan, and Qicun in Shanxi. Therefore, Qicun Hot Spring can be regarded as one of the four famous hot springs in the world, and it is the only one in northern my country.

Xinzhou City Tower

Xinzhou City originally had four gates, all with towers on them. It was built in the 24th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1596). Due to historical reasons, only The north city gate tower survives today. The tower has a total height of 28 meters, seven bays wide and four bays deep. It is surrounded by corridors with double eaves and three drops of water (three floors for the bright and three for the dark). It has a gabled roof, no columns in the building, and the beam structure is simple and tightly connected. A huge plaque hangs high on the third floor of the tower, with four majestic and powerful characters - "Key to Northern Shanxi". The entire city tower, with its red columns, blue tiles, painted pillars and carved beams, is magnificent and spectacular, and has a high cultural relic protection value. Climbing high and looking down, you can have a panoramic view of the urban landscape. Looking up and looking into the distance: leaning against the dangers of Shiling and Chitang in the south, straddling Xinkou and Yunzhong Pass in the north, it is located in the Houfan of Jin Dynasty. It is the transportation hub, Dingxiang and Jingle are separated from the east and west, and Ningwu and Yanmen are separated. Behind the arch around the mountain, there are not only three internal barriers, but also four fortresses. From this, we can understand the importance of the four characters "Key to Northern Shanxi". There are only two places that use the word "lock key" to describe the key pass of Shanhaiguan: one is the couplet of Shanhaiguan: "The two capitals have the key to lock, and the first pass of the Great Wall"; the other is the plaque on the building in the north city of Xinzhou: "Northern Shanxi is the key." However, Shanhaiguan has also undergone artificial repair and processing, while Xinzhou is purely a natural landform, which is even more rare.

The hexagonal pavilion is the largest of the three pavilions, with each side about 3 meters long and the height of the pavilion about 9 meters. The Hexagonal Pavilion, formerly known as Liotian Pavilion, is the highest point in the city. Standing on the pavilion, you can overlook the whole city. Originally, there was a brick arch in the six corners, which was called Tianzhiqu, which meant that the scholars of the academy could pass through Tianzhiqu, climb up to the Liotian Pavilion, and achieve great success.
