Linfen, Prefecture-level city in Shanxi, China

Linfen is a large city in Shanxi province situated in the Fen River valley and containing seventeen administrative divisions. The city functions as a major regional center connecting numerous districts and county-level towns throughout its territory.

The area was home to early imperial power in ancient times according to local tradition. The region later developed into an important administrative and economic center during key periods of Chinese history.

The Yao Temple stands as a place where visitors can see intricate carvings and artworks spanning different eras. The site reflects the spiritual practices that have shaped local traditions over many generations.

The city is well-connected by rail lines and highways that link it to other major centers in the province. Visitors can navigate easily between different parts of the city and nearby areas.

Near the city lies an impressive waterfall with yellowish-colored water that plunges through a narrow gorge. This natural spectacle is one of the region's most striking features and creates a powerful roar as it falls.
