Dahuaishu township in Linfen's Hongtong county, for instance, is the place where many Chinese people inside and outside the country believe their ancestors emigrated from during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). This historical background has made Dahuaishu one of the most popular destinations in China for tourists who want to seek their ancestral roots.

And with the temple and mausoleum of Yao, Yan said Linfen is a place where tourists can seek cultural roots dating back more than 4,000 years.

"The opening of the Taosi Site Museum is offering a new option for root-seeking tourists and a great opportunity for cultural and historical enthusiasts to trace the origin of Chinese civilization," Yan said.

A prominent feature of the museum is that it offers interactive and immersive experiences to visitors, with the use of digital technologies and innovative exhibition design and arrangement.

Once entering the museum, visitors can interact with a sand table to view the map of the ancient capital city covering more than 2.8 million square meters.
