With profound history and culture and beautiful scenery, it is the bright pearl of our Xishan cultural tourism belt in Taiyuan City.
The following is a picture of the late autumn season of 2023 recorded with your mobile phone to share with you:
The red leaves of Mount Taishan are one of the autumn scenery of Taiyuan City. Every year in frost and autumn, it is the best time for citizens to enjoy the autumn leaves, and in the recessed waist surrounded by mountains, the lilac leaves of the mountains glow golden against the setting sun.
Every year, visitors of all ages come to enjoy the autumn leaves. The sturdy and durable wooden plank road replaces the history of walking on concrete steps and paying for your knees.
The commanding heights are Wangdu Pavilion, standing in the east to see Taiyuan.
The tower surrounded by autumn leaves in the picture above is the site of the underground palace. On May 8, 2008, the Tang Dynasty pagoda base was discovered, and the five-fold coffin of stone letter, wooden coffin, gilded copper coffin, silver coffin and gold coffin was unearthed, and there were 23 Buddha relics offered, which was a typical Tang Dynasty Buddha relics burial system.

Taishan Longquan Temple was built in the first year of Li Dan Jingyun of Tang Ruizong (710), destroyed by fire in the Jin and Yuan dynasties, and rebuilt on the original site in the early Ming Dynasty. The area is built because of the mountainous terrain, the height is uneven, scattered, small and exquisite, and it is a pattern of its own. The whole temple building pattern is regular, there are mountain gates, drum towers, Tang Huayan scripture building, Tang Guanyin Hall ......Wait a minute.
At this time, Taishan was a hundred times more spectacular than Taishan at that time, and when I was young, I climbed the mountain with my parents, the path was rugged, and weeds and branches and leaves blocked the way. Today's Taishan Road is smooth, and the scenery accompanies every step.
There are flowers in spring and red leaves in autumn. In addition to setting up daily service projects including volunteer service stations, free voice explanations, free tea tasting, drinking water and other projects, it also provides tourists with free shuttle buses, ice cream, Hanfu experience, warms people's hearts, and achieves good social benefits.
