Nestled in the southeastern mountains of Taigu, this serene locale boasts an idyllic environment with sparse crowds. Easily accessible from Taiyuan, a mere hour’s drive away, it offers a captivating backdrop for photographers.
Simply park along the roadside and capture stunning images (p5). Even the nearby Guobao Reservoir (p3), despite being under a moderate level of light pollution, offers views of the Milky Way with remarkable detail, rivaling that of Luyashan on clear nights. The temperate climate here is particularly conducive to photographing the galactic wonders during the spring and summer months.
As you venture deeper into the mountains, the scenery becomes increasingly breathtaking, with places like Qinglongzhai, Shuangfeng Reservoir, and upstream areas of Pangzhuang Reservoir awaiting your discovery. However, it’s advisable not to stray too far, as the light pollution from Yushe County could potentially mar the view.
So, what are you waiting for? Seize the opportunity on a clear day and embark on a starry adventure that will leave you in awe. #StarryNight #TravelInShanxi #Taiyuan #MilkyWay #TaiyuanTravel #WeekendDestinationsTaiyuan @ShanxiTourismAndCultureBureau
