    I'm so happy for this trip as it was the first time we met!! I don't think people realize just how terrifying the hanging monastery was, it gave me flashbacks haha that barrier wasn't even up to my knee haha

    Shanxi province is really famous for its well-preserved architecture! I strongly recommend Yingxian Wooden tower, which is not far away from Heng Mountain and it is all wooden, unbelievably beautiful. Also, Yanmen Pass, Dai town, Wutai Mountain, Foguang Temple are all amazing. Most of amazing lanscapes in China are those in small towns!
