What do you think of when you think of Shanxi? The impression of Shanxi seems to have nothing to do with petty bourgeoisie and Internet celebrities. But there is such a city in Shanxi, which has never been a popular tourist destination, but it has countless surprises and gorgeousness, which can definitely subvert your impression of Shanxi.
This is Zuoquan, known as the small Jiangnan under Taihang Mountain, 1h away from Hebei, a former old revolutionary area, and now a red holy land, a beautiful land of mountains and rivers, and a world of folk songs. It is no longer the backward and poor you remember, but the new northern check-in holy land!
