It is a fantastic site which should be listed in the same area as Jin Temple (which really should be renamed Jinci Temple)and the Twin Pagoda Temple; these are the main sights around Taiyuan City, the capital of Shanxi Province. I am not an official rep of Tianlong Shan; they are all Buddhist monks. But I have ticked the box nonetheless so that you might consider including it. If so, I shall provide a thorough description of the place for you.

The Shanxi Museum is a wonderful provincial museum managed by the government of Shanxi Province, home of some of the oldest history in China. The museum is located in Taiyuan, the capital city of Shanxi, in a modern four-storey building. It was wonderful collections of old history, Chinese money, architecture, Buddhist sculptures and much more. I'd be happy to write a full description if this listing is approved. I am not an official representative of this property but have clicked the box as you should seriously consider listing it.
