N Reasons to Walk Through Shanxi: The Loess Plateau, the Yellow River, and the Big Locust Tree—trace your roots to your ancestral homeland and give your skin a layer of "sunny color." Pay homage to the charm and beauty of the East at the Yungang Grottoes; experience the transcendent Buddhist culture at Mount Wutai. Watch the life stories unfold in one after another Jin merchant's courtyard; listen as ancient buildings recount the sealed history. Taste the vicissitudes at the foot of the Great Wall; understand the spirit of China amidst the roar of the Hukou. Let the sheer cliffs of the Taihang Mountains erode the and desires brought from the city, and let the biting northern wind blow away the superficiality and confusion of modern life. That unassuming cave dwelling might just be our spiritual home. Walking through Shanxi, the remnants that have weathered the storms leave you speechless with awe. Five thousand years of wind and rain, eight thousand miles of clouds and roads—making you age overnight and rejuvenate overnight. Walking through Shanxi, you continuously fill the gaps in your understanding of history, and you can't sleep at night due to the mix of pride and loss. To go to Shanxi, you truly don't need a reason! The only reason needed is—why not go to Shanxi?
