To Taiyuan

 2025-10-16 (Thursday)

Flew into Taiyuan (two-hour flight) and met our new guide for the rest of the trip, Mary.

Taiyuan is colder than Nanjing (7 – 17C). Had lunch (another banquet but Marg preferred this food to its southern counterpart) before visiting the Jin Temple.

We visited the Jin Temple – an amazing place founded about 1400 year ago. Set in a large park-like garden they have some brilliant architecture, statues, paintings… Difficult to describe - must be seen to be believed!






A bit of rain as we left. Had a banquet lunch (again).

Went to a local place for pre-dinner beers. Four men, later joined by two women from the tour party.

Stayed at the Hampton Hotel (Hilton Group)
