This is Huamen in Linfen City, Shanxi Province, next to the most famous Chenghuang Temple in Linfen, and it can be reached on foot. In fact, it is also a monument to Chinese civilization, designed and built by Mr. Zhao Jianbin of Taiyuan University of Technology in Shanxi Province. This high gate is 0.4 meters higher than the Arc de Triomphe and is the first in the world.
The gate is mainly composed of a main gate, two auxiliary gates and a gatehouse. It was built in 2002. The whole building covers an area of 150 mu, but it only took three years to complete. The total cost is as high as 50 million. The main entrance alone is as high as18m, which mainly represents the beginning of China's 5,000-year history. The whole city gate is in a state of slow opening, and Linfen is also the place where Emperor Yao started Chinese civilization.
The other two small temples are closed, which is very in line with the architectural style of our country. Right in front of the gate is a flight of stairs. Standing next to Huamen, the first feeling is that you are very small. It can even be said that the knocker on the door is big. The whole building stands here and can be seen from far away, which is particularly spectacular.
Inside Huamen is a museum that records the beginning of Chinese civilization. There are countless columns with vines like dragons on them. The roof is blue and the middle is carved like the sun. The whole looks very beautiful. Of course, you can also go to the top floor from the side. Above Huamen is a huge observation deck with elevators for tourists. Standing on the top of the city gate, you can overlook the whole city of Linfen.
There is an attic named "Menzu Pavilion" next to the observation deck, which records the whole culture and evolution of "Menzu" and "Door God" in China. There is a bronze statue next to the attic. This bronze statue is our ancestor-the nest, and it is because of her that human beings ended their cave dwelling and tree dwelling. She is a very great person. And you only need a small ticket from 50 yuan to watch it here.
Shanxi is an important place for the historical development of China. There are the highest Mengshan Buddha and the largest Pingyao ancient city, where you can feel the simple national culture and rare land of geomantic omen. If you can make a small series, I strongly recommend you to come to Shanxi to play, because you will never be disappointed here!
