“Taiyuan” is Literal meaning “Great Plain” in Chinese.
Taiyuan, also known as Bingzhou, is the provincial capital of Shanxi province. In the meanwhile, it is the hub of politics, economy, culture of the province, bordering Fen River and surrounded by mountains.
As one of the largest and most dominant cities in North China and one of the twenty-two super cities, it is on the junction of the three economical zones of China, playing the vital role of connecting the east and west, south and north in the course of opening up and economic development.
Covering an area of 6988 sq. km, the city is divided into six districts, three counties, and one county-level city, where there are more than four million people in total. Since ancient times, Taiyuan has enjoyed the good reputation as “Splendid Taiyuan City”.
Not only is it a place of vital importance in terms of military and culture, but also it is a world-famous metropolis of Shanxi merchants, as well as one of the most important bases of heavy industry and energy.

One of China’s Main Industrial Cities with Many Historical Sites
——————-⭐⭐
Bounded on three sides by mountains, Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi Province and one of the most important energy and industrial bases in China.
Comparing Taiyuan with any ancient capital in China, it is not inferior. With a history of more than 2,500 years, Taiyuan once was an important political, military, economic, and cultural center in ancient North China.
It boasts abundant tourism resources varying from famous mountains to grottoes, temples, lakes, caves, ancient buildings and relics. Among them, the statues of the maid of the Song Dynasty (960 – 1279) in the Jinci Temple show different postures vividly; the grottoes and statues of the Sui and Tang Dynasties (581 – 907) in the Tianlong Mountain and the two pagodas standing at Yongyou Temple have always attracted visitors’ attention.
In the evening, you can go to Liu Alley which has the largest night market in northern China, to taste local delicacies and buy special products.
It is also very convenient to transfer to other hot Shanxi tourism spots from Taiyuan such as Mount Wutai, Yungang Grottoes, Mt. Taihang, Ancient City of Pingyao and Hukou Waterfalls.
The city has a wealth of attractions and notably among these is the Jinci Temple. This is the city’s most attractive temple although the Shuangta Si (Twin-Pagoda Temple) has become a symbol of the city on account of its unique architecture. Another major attraction is the Tianlong Shan Stone Caves where magnificent sculptures dating from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) may be seen.
Up to now, Taiyuan has become a modern industrial city with a focus on metallurgical industry, machinery, chemical industry and coal industry, supported by light textile, electronics, food industry, pharmaceutical industry, power sector and building materials industry. As the project of making airship conducted by Beijing has been undertaken, it will become the biggest airship-making city around China in the near future.
In effect, Taiyuan has also been given UN Habitat Scroll of Honor Award by virtue of Fen River Park and West Water System of Taiyuan City.
At present, water supply, gas supply, heat supply, power supply, sewage treatment and garbage disposal are increasingly well dealt with by the government. In 2010 it was awarded National Garden City.
Aimed at the formation of industrial cluster of fist-class equipment manufacturing industry, high and new technology, new materials industry and metropolis with global reach, Taiyuan embraces travelers with its brand-new image.

I did a good indirect experience. It feels like I went there myself. Thank you for the video you uploaded.
The amount of amazing cities in China that are so modern and in the same time have an ancient history it's incredible. Thank you so much for showing us this amazing country.
非常美丽的城市。就像大多数旅游景点一样，世界也是令人难以置信的。这座城市融合了现代与传统。感谢您的分享。
Botanical garden fits right in a sci-fi show / movie.
Sony a7s3?
到山西就要吃刀削面和打醋。
Chines tier 200 city Indian tier= 1 city 😢🤔.
China already reopened to international tourism. Yet not many Chinese are going overseas for holiday. It is the many beautiful and beatified places like these that keep the Chinese touring their country and not the outside.
It would be so nice to live in Chinese cities like this, knowing you are just a high-speed train ride to everywhere else in this vast country.
Very relaxing to watch🌈
Love from Taiwan 🇹🇼
Thank you for all the content. Can I ask what camera do you use?
Very high quality video, well done👍
Very Beautiful!
看了乔家大院、汇通天下、以为山西平遥古城很好看了，未曾想到太原除了古城的美，更有现代化便利繁荣 👍✨🥰
Didn't expect Shanxi to have come this far😮
一定是富人区

来太原了，本山西人欢迎各位大佬。
可以北上大同，绕行城墙一圈，1个小时左右吧！
Dear foreigners, can you distinguish Shanxi from Shaanxi? They are two provinces bordering on each other.😊
There is a professional beggar on Zhonglou street. Reminds me of the first Covid case in Haining, Zhejiang. It was brought by a professional beggar who had just arrived from Shanghai by high-speed train and traveling around Haining by taxi 😂
Hello Max! Finally a new video walk through the old city of Taiyuan as I like it! In this walk, of course, I was very impressed by the ancient city and its large size, beauty, everything glows, trade is in full swing, many tourists, the architecture of the buildings, cozy streets, how beautiful it is there !!! 👍👍👍The pagoda temple complex is quite different from many parts in China, I liked it too ! Mach visit such places more often and shoot a video for us Thanks for the walk we will soon have 200 thousand subscribers we are still waiting for your new walks !!!
Just usual. Display of Chinese cities being sleek and well developed while the rest of the world unaware of it.
Maravilloso
Another stunning production. This is the next best thing to being there. Maybe someday I can visit China ❤
哇，不得不说这种有中原文化底蕴的建筑对一个广东人，自古远离中原王朝影响的地区的人来说有多么震撼😀😀
👍🇨🇳
Hi, Max, you are doing a great service for China. All your videos will become an important source of information about contemporary Chinese life. Decades from now, your videos will be treasured by historians and researchers, just like we now look at the painting 清明上河图 to find out how people in Song dynasty lived. Another wonderful piece of work!
I am from Hungary. Thank you this very nice video!!
👍
Que lugar lindo!❤ Vc poderia fazer um vídeo mostrando as universidades também?
太原、汾河、跻汾桥 。虬髯客与李靖相约：“某日复会我于汾阳桥”。走在跻汾桥上，是不是会想起当年的风尘三侠？千载沧桑，传奇故事，总是引人入胜的，就像观看这个视频。
Bro please also mention which tier city is that??
I love the 'Manifest it' music. Inspirational editing. brilliant promotion for Chinese tourism!
想了解一下作者是用什么设备拍的？
山西因为气候和地理原因，保存下了中国最多最老的古建筑，我老家中原地区，古代战争烈度强规模大，除了汉墓，地上什么东西都留不下来
好长的视频，博主还是一如既往的用心!希望播放量快点上来!加油🎉🎉
Amazing video ❤️💙
May I know what camera do you use? I've watching your videos and I'm really amazed by your vlog. Likewise, the clarity of your videos even at night.
耿彥波留下了很多
你在做一个伟大的事情，让西方人知道，一个正常的社会，夜晚是可以出来溜达的。
These vids are great it shows another episode of China is the World Leader and the Future; its hilarious to watch this anywhere in the dead and gone "collective west" that was ended by the liberal leftist woke self hate and suicidal "enrichment" (((they))) demanded as former European cities like Paris and Nice burn down, cities in China flourish.
Это прекрасно и неповторимо, современность и история!Кто не помнит прошлого, у того нет будущего!Великий китайский народ, мира вам, счастья и добра!И непременно процветания!Спасибо вам за ваш труд и такое познавательное видео!💖
谢谢你，叠🌝
OMG I would take me years to visit all the places you film. This is so gorgeous! Clean, mix of the old and modern, wonderfully designed, green spaces galore. China has arrived!
❤!
Super china 💖💯🌎🌍🌏
Finally you went to Taiyuan!! I was hoping you would go there when I commented about it a few months back, (or last year I don't remember lol) I showed this to my fiance, who is from Taiyuan and he said it looks much prettier at night now than how it was 6 years ago. Thank you.
Ps. Hope you can go to Xuzhou in Jiangsu Province 🙏
