There are too many sights in Shanxi, because of the 5000 years old history. But you don’t need to visit all of them. I arranged many times Shanxi Trip, around 10 days from Norht to South in Shanxi.

Most of tourists choose Datong, Wutaishan, Pingyao for their Shanxi Trip. And Spend 5 or 6 days for their Shanxi Trip. I think these days are enough for your Shanxi Trip too.
