The capital of Shanxi is Taiyuan City. This is Alba's birth city. Taiyuan is the largest city in Northeastern China. It has a population of 4.3 million. Its name means "Great Plains". It is an ancient city having been formed in 859 B.C. It is one of the biggest stainless steel producers in the world. This city is famous for it's "shaved noodles." Taiyuan is also, unfortunately, one of the top 20 most polluted cities in the world (that should be fun...)
And one fun fact? Taiyuan is one of Nashville's 6 "Sister Cities"... a coincidence? I think not!

Congratulations and I hope your travel is speedy. One of our daughters is also from Taiyuan. It is unfortunately very industrialized and polluted but there is beauty if you want to find it. Their noodles are delicious and the people lovely and kind.
