Nature & Parks of Shanxi

Shanxi’s landscape is defined by the sacred Buddhist peaks of Wutaishan and the steep cliffs of Mount Heng, the northernmost of China's Five Great Mountains. The province features the dramatic limestone gorges of the Taihang Canyon and the cliffside temples of Mian Shan. Beyond its peaks, the region offers high-altitude alpine lakes in Ningwu, the historic garden architecture of Jinci, and the modern domed greenhouses of the Taiyuan Botanic Park.
