Situated at an elevation of 800 meters, Taiyuan extends across 6,909 square kilometers through multiple districts including Xiaodian, Yingze, and Xinghualing.
The city transformed from its early identity as Yanggu to become a crucial military stronghold during the Northern Jin Dynasty and subsequent Chinese imperial periods.
The Jinci Temple in Taiyuan displays traditional Chinese architectural elements with wooden structures, gardens, and ceremonial spaces dating from multiple dynasties.
The municipal transportation system connects ten administrative districts through an extensive network of buses and a metro system serving over 4 million residents.
