Fen River Scenic Area
汾河景区
A riverside green corridor stretching for dozens of kilometers along both banks of the Fen River, popular for cycling, night runs, and bridge views.
The Fen River Scenic Area runs along both banks of the Fen River through the urban section of Taiyuan, spanning dozens of kilometers. It features walking paths, bike lanes, wetlands, and several river-crossing bridges of various distinctive designs, and the Shanxi Museum sits right on the west bank. In spring and summer evenings, it is ideal for cycling, strolling, and watching the sunset, and at night the bridge lights come on. In winter, when the river freezes, some sections open for ice activities. Admission is free. You can enter at many points in the city, and it is recommended to start from the section near the Shanxi Museum.
