Trip Highlights: Tour Destination: Taiyuan, Pingyao, Mt. Wutai, Datong. Following this tour, you could fully explore the major cultural and historical relics in Shanxi Province and the famous Buddhist mountain-Wutai Mountain. Shanxi, literally meaning west of the mountains, was named for its location - west of the Taihang Mountains. Still underpopulated and poor, Shanxi's economic linchpin today remains coal and one third of China's coal is extracted here. Shanxi enjoys a long history and a reputation for a rich culture. Today it is still called "the art museum of ancient times," for its splendid Yellow River culture. Shanxi welcomes domestic and foreign visitors, hoping they can know more about the province through contact with the vibrant cultural atmosphere and historic sites.
