Taigu (Chinese: 太谷; pinyin: Tàigǔ) is a district of Shanxi province, China under the administration of Jinzhong City.

While economic activity in the Taigu area is primarily agricultural, major non-agricultural industries in Taigu include production of malleable cast iron, cast steel, insulator fittings, radiator piping, and other small industrial components.

However, residents traveling longer distances sometimes prefer simply to take the approximately one-hour drive to the provincial capital of Taiyuan where they can directly take high and low speed trains to Beijing and other major cities.

This site is a well-preserved example of mid-Qing dynasty architecture typical of wealthy Chinese families during the period.

Most recently occupied by H. H. Kung (transliterated by pinyin as "Kong Xiangxi"), a wealthy Chinese banker and politician active in the Nationalist government in the 1930s and 1940s, the compound contains examples of traditional courtyard-style living arrangements, temples, areas set aside for young women to separate them from young men, as well as a small exhibit detailing the life of Kung.

The site occupies a total area of 10,600sq m (of which 6,384sq m are buildings), and contains Ming, Qing, and Republic of China era structures.

Guilingji wine is produced locally and very popular as a component of traditional Chinese medicine with several various health benefits.
