===Shanxi architecture=== {{Main|Shanxi architecture}} Shanxi preserves the oldest wooden structures in China from [[Tang dynasty]], including the [[Foguang Temple]] and [[Nanchan Temple]]. [[Yungang Grottoes]] in [[Datong]] and numerous Buddhist temples in the sacred [[Mount Wutai]] exemplify Chinese religious architecture. [[Shanxi Courtyard Houses|Shanxi family compounds]] are representative of [[vernacular architecture]] in North China.
