Tips
culture
Capital: Taiyuan (太原). Abbreviated 晋 (Jìn) after the ancient Jin state. China's top coal-producing province. Famous for noodles (a thousand varieties), aged vinegar (老陈醋), the Yungang Grottoes, and walled cities like Pingyao.
mistakes
Do NOT confuse with 陕西省 (Shǎnxī Shěng). 山 is first tone (Shān), 陕 is third tone (Shǎn). English uses 'Shanxi' vs 'Shaanxi' (doubled aa) to distinguish them.
