长风文化岛（山西大剧院·太原美术馆）
A modern architectural complex on the west bank of the Fen River, home to the Shanxi Grand Theatre and the Taiyuan Art Museum. It is popular for its nighttime views.
The Changfeng Cultural and Business District is located along Changfeng Avenue on the west bank of the Fen River. It houses large public buildings, including the Shanxi Grand Theatre, Taiyuan Municipal Art Museum, Taiyuan Municipal Library, and Shanxi Provincial Science and Technology Museum. The Art Museum's form resembles layered rocks, while the Grand Theatre is majestic and symmetrical, making both a modern landmark of Taiyuan. The Art Museum holds free exhibitions year-round, and the Grand Theatre hosts opera, drama, and symphony performances. At night, the building lights reflect on the Fen River, making it a good place for a stroll and photos.
