Private Day Tour in Taiyuan: Jinci, Mengshan Buddha, Tianlong Mount

At 8:30am, your guide will pick you up from your Taiyuan hotel, then take a private vehicle to Jinci Park, which has a history over 3000 years. As the earliest royal garden, Jinci is renown for its construction, painting, and statues.

Tianlong Mount is 11km from Jinci, which is a well-known for its scenery and Buddhism caves. There are still 25 caves presenting the splendid statues, frescos, paintings that can be traced back to 1500 years ago.

Then you will visit the huge Mengshan Buddha statue, that was started to build in 539AD, and had been repaired many times in the history. Today it is 17.5-meter in height, excluding his new head that was reconstructed in 2007 to match up his missing part in the history. 

Afterwards, you will be transferred back to your Taiyuan hotel where the tour concludes.
