Going to Shanxi is like walking into a Chinese history museum, especially Jinzhong, located in the central part of North China's Shanxi province.

Jinzhong, as a cradle of Jin culture, is an important part of Chinese civilization. It has splendid natural scenery and rich cultural landscape, such as world cultural heritage Pingyao Ancient Town and Jin Merchants folk culture tourism areas.

The spacious and magnificent courtyards here showcase the glorious past of Shanxi merchants. Intangible cultural heritage such as cloth tiger crafts, paper dolls from Chinese opera, and Siyanjing vinegar making skills, add sparkle to the rich history.
