Shanxi and Shaanxi are the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. They are not only beautiful in natural scenery, but also rich in cultural landscape. Therefore, this trip to Shanxi and Shaanxi can also be said to be a journey of "root culture". On the vast loess land of these two provinces, Lantian people, Dali people and Banpo people were born, the ancestor Huangdi was born, and Zhou, Qin, Han, Han and Han Dynasties were born There are 13 ancient dynasties such as Sui and Tang. On the land of these two provinces, we can see that Yungang Grottoes, which have the longest history, are still elegant today, the incense of Mount Wutai in Manjusri Bodhisattva Taoist temple is still prosperous, the ancient city Pingyao is full of tourists, the Mother River Hukou of the Yellow River is magnificent, the revolutionary Holy Land Yan'an Pagoda cave has long been changed, the pine and cypress in front of the mausoleum of Emperor Huang, the ancestor of human culture, and the West Mountain Huashan is majestic, strange, dangerous and precipitous, The Qin Emperor's mausoleum has been sealed up for thousands of years, and the terracotta warriors and horses buried with them are so beautiful today that the capital Xi'an is full of warblers singing and swallows dancing everywhere. Rougamo, mutton bubble, Liangpi and hand grazed meat are mouth watering. Our whole 11 day trip is just a quick tour, but it has opened our eyes and benefited us a lot. As a Chinese, no matter what our faith is, we have to go to Shanxi and Shaanxi in this life.
