Live Your Best Lives
"The eastern plain is flat, and the large and high one is called Taiyuan." Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi Province, known as the "Dragon City Treasure Land". It was called Jinyang or Bingzhou in ancient times, and was abbreviated as Bing. Compared with any ancient capital, Taiyuan is not inferior in history. It is said that "the three capitals of the king of heaven, one of the northern capitals". Taiyuan has a history of more than 2,500 years. It is a gathering place of natural landscapes and historical relics. It is an important political, military, economic and cultural center in ancient northern China. Since ancient times, it has been a very important transportation route between Yanjing and Xi'an.
In spring, the temperature in Taiyuan is low and the wind and sand are strong; in summer, it is very hot and in winter, it is relatively cold, so the best time to travel to Taiyuan is May-June and September-October.
Taiyuan starts to warm up in May, and the temperature drops sharply at the end of September. Because it is located in an inland area, the temperature difference between day and night is very large. The temperature from May to September is between 10-30℃, and it will drop below 20℃ at night during the hottest time in July and August. Therefore, in addition to short-sleeved shirts, you should prepare a long-sleeved shirt or a coat according to the season. The average temperature in January is minus 12-14℃, so you need to wear a very warm down jacket.
For many tourists, Taiyuan is just a transit point in Shanxi, and they will not visit Taiyuan alone. Moreover, Taiyuan's tourism resources are not rich, and the main attractions can be visited in one day. If you want to visit some small places, two days are enough. Therefore, excluding the round-trip transportation costs, the budget for traveling to Taiyuan alone should be around 300-600 yuan.
