Lingjingou
Lingjingou is located in Xilingjing Township, Yangqu County, northwest of Taiyuan City. It starts from Lingjing Village in Yangqu County in the north and extends to Guankou Village in the south. The high mountains on both sides stand like gates, known as 'Tianmen Mountain'. Historically, it has been a major transportation route connecting northwest Shanxi to Taiyuan. Lingjingou stretches for thirty li (approximately 15 kilometers). The river in the deep valley winds through undulating mountains, with cliffs and strange rocks, featuring 'seventy-two scenes'. Lingjingou Nature Reserve, one of the four major nature reserves in Taiyuan City, covers a large area. Among its highlights is Sanlang Cave, named after the Sanlang Temple that once stood there, with remnants still visible today. The stream flowing through the valley beside the temple is very natural, making it an ideal spot for family outings and children to play in the water.
