Shanxi is one of the important places of Chinese culture and has been described as the place of origin (起源) of ancient China.

It is proud of the great Taihang Mountains,the Yellow River that raised the thou-sand-old Chinese culture,Mount Wutai,which is seen as one of the four mountains by Chi- HH nese Buddhists (佛教) ，the Yungang Grottoes that were done about 1 ,600 years ago and 私望 the ancient town of Pingyao — one of the four best kept old towns in the country.

The sight and history of Shanxi hardly fail to surprise visitors. People can visit the noble tombs (皇陵) of the ancient Jin Kingdom,which dates back 3 ,000 years. They can also admire at a traditional Chinese town built about 600 years ago.
