Why do visitors always look up when they go to Shanxi? The recently popular game "Black Myth: Wukong" has drawn attention to its primary filming location—Shanxi Province. People often say, "Visit Shanxi to see cultural relics above the ground." The aesthetics of ancient Chinese architecture are on full display here. In Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi, one can admire the beauty of the Jin Temple, a site that Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin never missed. Additionally, visitors can learn about the green transformation taking place beside the Fen River, the second-largest tributary of the Yellow River. Once known for its coal industry, Taiyuan is now surrounded by trees and green mountains.

With Liang Sicheng's "A History of Chinese Architecture" as a guide, embark on a journey from Taiyuan and discover how ancient architecture and nature combine to create splendid landscapes.
