Yuncheng travel guide: Guan Yu's home city, the pink Salt Lake and the gateway to Yongle Palace, in southern Shanxi.
Accommodation overview
Yuncheng's hotels cluster along Tiaoshan Street and around Nanfeng Plaza. Xiezhou, where the Guandi temple stands, has very few hotels, so most visitors base in the city and take a taxi.
