Taiyuan (Chinese: 太原; pinyin: Tàiyuán [tʰâi.ɥɛ̌n], also known as Bīng (并), Jìnyáng (晋阳)) is the capital and largest city of Shanxi province in North China. It is one of the main manufacturing bases of China. Throughout its long history, Taiyuan was the capital or provisional capital of many dynasties in China, hence the name Lóngchéng (龙城, "Dragon City").

Shanxi Museum

The Shanxi Museum is a wonderful provincial museum managed by the government of Shanxi Province, home of some of the oldest history in China. The museum is located in Taiyuan, the capital city of Shanxi, in a modern four-storey building. It was wonderful collections of old history, Chinese money, architecture, Buddhist sculptures and much more. I'd be happy to write a full description if this listing is approved. I am not an official representative of this property but have clicked the box as you should seriously consider listing it.

Large museum in Taiyuan - looks very modern and very impressive architecture. Free admission, 4 storey building with several halls on each floor showing items from the different time periods in Shanxi & China history. Some fantastic exhibits, with most of the guide plates having English translation too. Great tea house inside the museum too, and an interesting shop, with everything from pocket-money souvenirs to expensive sculptures available.
