Once we arrived in Taiyuan we headed for lunch then onto the bus for a visit to Jin Ci, one if the oldest Taoist temples (2000 years old). Words will never describe the beauty and peace. I expected a temple when actually it was a walled park containing many different temples eg Taoist, Buddhist.
The trees were stunning and ancient and some of them needed propping up with wooden and metal stakes. I'm not sure the photos can do the place any justice.
We did Tai Chi in front of one of the temples. I'm sure you will find it on YouTube as there were loads of people taking pictures and video footage.
I could have stayed there for a week. We are now off to Pingyao Old Town which is the "treasure house" of ancient Chinese architecture. We will be staying there till Tuesday afternoon.
