When to go
Being at a high altitude,Shanxi Province has a cold and dry climate and has an annual rainfall of between 400-600 millimeters.The province is also frequently plagued by sandstorms,especially in the spring,so it is often useful to bring along both sunglasses and a hat when visiting.Generally speaking,the province's climate is the best between May and October.
History
Shanxi is one of the birth places of Chinese civilizations with a long history and traditional culture.As early as one hundred million years ago,the ancestors of the Chinese lived and propagated in this region.Legend tells us that the Yellow Emperor,founder of the Chinese nation,once lived in Shanxi for a certain period.Today,many Neolithic sites from that period can still be seen dotted across the vast expanse of the province.
What to see
Shanxi is endowed with an abundance of cultural sites from its long history.Most of the ancient structures were built before the Liao and Song Dynasties.So it is the reason why Shanxi is often called the 'Chinese Ancient Architecture Museum'.The more obvious of these include:the Buddhist wonder of the Yungang Grottoes in Datong City,the ancient city of Pingyao which was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO in 1997,the oldest and tallest ancient wooden pagoda in China,the Wooden Pagoda of Yingxian County and the remote Shuanglin and Jinci Temples,which are well worth the long journeys for the visitors.
Of course,there are a number of natural magnificent and beautiful places that can also be seen in Shanxi.The most famous of them include Wutai Mountain with the longest and most prestigious history in the four most well-known Buddhist holy lands of China,the whistling rage of the Yellow River's Kettle Spout waterfalls (Hukou Waterfalls) and one of the Five Sacred Mountains in China - Mt Hengshan.
山西省由於其地理位置更名為西太行山，山西河南、陜西相鄰的河北和內蒙古自治區。它位於黃河東部，也被稱為河東。山西是晉國在春秋時期，所以簡稱晉。山西占地156000平方公裏（60000平方英裏），人口超過3200萬，其中少數民族人口的首都是太原市。
什麽時候去
在高海拔地區，山西的氣候寒冷幹燥，年均降水量在400-600毫米之間。省經常遭受沙塵暴，尤其是在春天，所以經常帶著墨鏡和帽子都拜訪時有用。壹般來說，該省的氣候是最好的月和十月之間。
