Shanxi has been actively promoting digital tourism by using technology to enable visitors to experience the region's profound cultural heritage.
The 24 solar terms and China's magnificent landscapes are displayed digitally, offering visitors a breathtaking view.
Shanxi is home to numerous ancient cities, and the architectural techniques of the ancients have always been a marvel.
Digital screens also allow visitors to explore the internal structures of historical buildings.
For a more thrilling experience, visitors can enter the VR flight theatre, which simulates riding a roller coaster while overlooking Shanxi's scenic spots.
For those short on time to visit all of Shanxi's attractions, they can opt to take photos in front of a green screen with famous sites as the backdrop.
Zhang Yuling, director of the digital museum, explained that many tourists find it challenging to explore the entire Shanxi Province comprehensively in one go.
The museum hopes that all visitors to Shanxi can first get an overview of the most famous attractions through digital experiences before deciding on which sites to go to for a deeper exploration.
Stepping out of the digital world into the real-world Jin Memorial Temple which was built during the Northern Wei Dynasty more than 1,500 years ago.
It was built to commemorate Tang Shuyu, the founding feudal lord of the Jin State, and is the largest and most well-preserved classical temple-style garden in China.
The temple-turned-museum comprises over 100 buildings from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Recently, the museum became a filming location for a domestic mobile game. The museum plans to accelerate the digitisation of its cultural relics.
At the same time, they will continue to add new digital display contents, such as using AR technology on painted sculptures, which brings them to life, making them interactive and dynamic for visitors.
While technology may attract a younger crowd, some traditional features remain as popular as ever with everyone.
The Jin Memorial Temple Fair, a tradition dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, was designated as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2008, and continues to be held every year during the seventh lunar month.
