Beautiful night scene

You can choose an inn around 180-300 in the ancient city.

The city wall is a pass 180 (there is no charge for sightseeing in Pingyao ancient city).

Pingyao ancient city is a relatively independent ancient city, with factions inside and outside the city gate. The ancient city is well preserved, and the architectural style keeps the traditional framework. It is suggested that you can visit Rishengchang Ticket Bank at your own expense. It is the earliest bank in China and the ancient county government. There will be a hall performance here in the morning and afternoon. You can inquire about the performance time in advance, prepare to watch it in advance, or go to the Confucian Temple, one of the most famous scenic spots in Pingyao ancient city. You can also buy some old vinegar, sauced meat and the like. I bought it from an old shop in the city. They all taste good.

The ancient city of Pingyao is located in the middle of Shaanxi Province in the north of China. It was built in West Zhou Xuanwang (827-782 BC) and was originally called ancient pottery. In the early Ming Dynasty, the city wall was built to resist foreign invasion. In the third year of Hongwu (A.D. 1370), the old wall was rebuilt and expanded, and the brick was completely covered. After several generations, there were ten repairs. Today, I will share with you the self-help tour guide of Pingyao Ancient City.

The ancient city wall.

In the cold winter, Pingyao is somewhat lonely, and the air is filled with a taste of Shanxi characteristics. It can be said to be pollution, because the taste comes from coke. On the other hand, it is only in the heating season and has been with people for many years. Change will not happen overnight. There is no such thing as the best wandering time. It all depends on your own mentality and vision. The opening of high-speed rail has narrowed the distance between Pingyao and Beijing. Even on weekends, there is no problem. There are enough trains for you to choose from. It's close to the ancient city of high-speed railway station. You can take a taxi or ask the hotel to pick you up. Pingyao is an ancient city in the north that still maintains the regulations of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and its integrity is shocking. Today, from houses, houses and streets, it is not difficult to see that it was once prosperous. After all, life comes first. Many locals choose to leave the ancient city and move to a new city outside. The new home is more suitable for living. To some extent, the relocation of residents also protected the ancient city. In addition to numerous banks and escort agencies, the ancient city wall is also a good scenic spot. Go around the city and watch the sunset.

Sara Temple

Shuanglin Temple is located in the southwest of Pingyao ancient city, less than 7 kilometers. It takes less than half an hour to get there by bus 108 from the north gate of the ancient city. Its 1 yuan is very convenient for everyone. Tickets for the Double Temple in 40 yuan are free for the elderly. 18 bus has no stop sign at the north gate station of the ancient city, and waits for the bus diagonally opposite the California beef noodle shop. Shuanglin Temple has a waiting platform and seats.

Shuanglin Temple entered the courtyard three times. As soon as you enter the door, you will see the hall of kings, and in the middle of the backyard is the hall of heroes. On both sides are the Thousand Buddha Hall, Luohan Hall and Bodhisattva Hall. There are countless gods and buddhas in the Thousand Buddhas Hall, with street style and vivid expressions. Lohan is as kind and funny as a real person in the hall. Although colored plastics are covered with dust, the soft and colorful colors show the unique skills of ancient modeling and production. There are murals on the doorframes of some halls. The introduction at the entrance of Shuanglin Temple said that the painted clay sculptures and murals of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in the temple are rare treasures.

Joe's compound.

Exquisite ancient buildings, especially wood carvings, stone carvings and brick carvings, are treasures that can be directly appreciated. The six gardens have their own merits, and there are many things worth seeing. It is best to avoid holidays and weekends, so that you can watch the game quietly, otherwise you can only watch the crowds surging! Kowloon Wall, Kowloon Palace Lantern and Rhino Moon Mirror are some of the treasures. memory

Pingyao North Bus Station takes bus No.9 from 3 yuan to Zhenguo Temple, which takes more than 20 minutes. Tickets to 20 yuan, the huge Zhenguo Temple is only visited by two or three people.

Zhenguo Temple was founded in the Five Dynasties in the seventh year of the Northern Han Dynasty (AD 963). During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the temple collapsed, and it was not until the twentieth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (AD 18 15) that the Wanfo Temple was rebuilt. The rebuilt temple still maintains its original style. Zhenguo Temple is divided into front hall and back hall, with a total area of 10892 square meters. On the central axis, there are buildings such as Tianwang Hall, Wanfo Hall and Sanfo Building. On the east and west sides of the front yard are the Bell Tower, the Drum Tower, the Queen of the Three Tombs, the God of Wealth, Erlang and the Land. In the backyard, there are halls such as Luohan Hall and Yamaraja Hall. The temple is shaded by miscellaneous trees and the green leaves are fluffy. The locust tree in the yard is shaped like an umbrella, and its branches are interwoven into a net, which is quite antique.

Temple Dacheng hall

Confucian Temple is located on the north side of Yunlu Street in the southeast of the county seat, covering an area of 8,000 square meters. There are mainly Xingmen Temple, Dachengmen, Dacheng Hall, Minglun Hall and Zunjing Pavilion in the temple. The main hall is five rooms wide and deep, surrounded by stone railings, and green glazed tiles are laid at both ends of the roof, which shines in the sun.

Accommodation: It is recommended to stay in Bb in the ancient city, because Bb can better appreciate the scenery of the ancient city, and the price varies, but the price is definitely high in the peak season.

Catering: The catering in Pingyao Ancient City is the same as that in most places in Shanxi. Millet and porridge are the main food in the morning and evening, and pasta with various colors is the main food at noon. Most of the food is delicious, and you can also taste some local snacks in Qingming Street.

3. One-day tour of Pingyao Ancient City.

This is a travelogue into Pingyao ancient city. I only see a moat outside the ancient city of Pingyao and an ancient city wall inside. When you enter the ancient city, it will be lively. Large and small shops, dazzling array of goods, dazzling. More travel notes about Pingyao ancient city can be found on Giant Essays.

Our family took a bus for a day and came to the ancient city of Pingyao, Shanxi. Pingyao Ancient City, located in the middle of Shanxi Province, is one of the four well-preserved ancient cities in China, and is also the county seat of China declared as a world cultural heritage.

It's past seven. This is a clock. Our coach can't drive into the city, so we can only park in the parking lot outside the city. We strolled into town by sightseeing bus. I saw the moat outside Pingyao ancient city and the ancient city wall inside. When you enter the ancient city, it will be lively. Large and small shops, dazzling array of goods, dazzling. Sightseeing bus took us through many hutongs and came to an inn. The inn is a wooden quadrangle with strict layout and symmetry. Courtyards are usually separated by ornate hanging flower doors. Most inns are beautifully decorated.

The next day, we came to the ancient city wall. At present, the ancient city basically retains the embryonic form of the county seat in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and is called the Turtle City. It is said that its square walls are turtle-shaped: six doors from north to south and two doors from east to west. The south gate is the glans, the north gate is the tail, and the east gate and west gate are the limbs. Four main streets, eight small streets and seventy-two hutongs in the city form the gossip pattern on the tortoise shell. The pattern of streets and lanes interwoven with warp and weft is in good order, with clear priorities. Now there are more than 50 thousand residents living in the ancient city!

4. Pingyao ancient city play raiders composition

Pingyao

First of all, let's talk about why Pony should recommend niche attractions to everyone.

1. This route is cheaper, which allows you to visit the ancient city of Pingyao with less money and experience the simplicity of Pingyao in another way.

2. This route has to take the tedious 22 package attractions, and instead recommend some super-niche tourist attractions, not only the compound with Pingyao characteristics, but also the ancient temple with the largest private collection of Ming and Qing colored sculptures in China.

You can also taste a lot of Pingyao cuisine on this route, so that you can experience the most distinctive Shanxi flavor at one time.

Let's talk about a Pingyao map first. American minority tourist attractions (excluding regular package attractions).

The ancient city mainly includes Pingyao North Gate, Pingyao South Gate, Hebei Old House and Wedding Flag Village Courtyard.

There are mainly Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple in the suburbs.

Second, Pingyao tourism-tourism articles

How to get to Pingyao:

There is no airport in Pingyao, but fortunately there are two railway stations, Pingyao Station and Pingyao Gucheng Station, so the train is the best choice.

If you are a friend from the south, you can choose to fly to Taiyuan first, and then transfer to the train or train to Pingyao.

The specific route is as follows: (Take Shanghai as an example)

If flying from Shanghai to Taiyuan is not the tourist season, the lowest fare is 400 yuan.

After arriving in Taiyuan, you can take the high-speed train or ordinary train to Pingyao.

It takes about 28 minutes to get there by train.

It takes about an hour and a half by ordinary train.

Tips:

Personal experience tells us to take the ordinary bus as much as possible, because the Pingyao Ancient City Station arrived by train is far from the county seat, and there are not many buses, so it is not recommended. On the contrary, although the flights at Pingyao Station are all ordinary buses, it is only a 5-minute walk from Pingyao Ancient City to the urban area, so it is recommended that you take it.

Three. Where does Pingyao ancient city live?

Pingyao ancient city is mainly divided into four areas, even if there are North City, South City, East City and West City. Most of the scenic spots are mainly concentrated in West Street and South Street, so most people live near these two streets, in order to visit all the package scenic spots conveniently. However, Pony actually recommended Beicheng. First of all, this place is the most cost-effective. It is the most convenient place to go to the railway station, bus station or high-speed railway station. Special snacks are also concentrated here, and the price is much cheaper than South Street.

Four. Analysis of tourist attractions in Pingyao ancient city:

I can't help but recommend a regular tourist attraction, which is the package area. The following are the recommendations of Xiaomakou niche attractions:

Hunzhai yard

Formerly known as Jijia Courtyard, it was built in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties and has a history of more than 400 years. This used to be the ancestral home of Ji Yugang, the boss of China Rishengchang No.1 Bank. I won. Don't say too much about encyclopedia introduction. The following is my personal impression. I think this is the most worthwhile compound in Pingyao. First of all, it is the largest, longest and most complete ancient residence in Pingyao. Then there is no ticket here, and the cost performance is super high.

Tips:

When you come to the compound of Hunqi Village, you must give priority to brick carving, wood carving and stone carving.

Jilaozhai

This courtyard is somewhat similar to the courtyard of Wedding Flag Village, but compared with the courtyard of Wedding Flag Village, Ji's old house is relatively small, and it is a clean stream compared with other prosperous Pingyaobao scenic spots. This old house was built in the Yuan Dynasty and is a private residence. The main building is a two-story Qifeng building. After entering, it looks a bit like a cave, with Shanxi characteristics. Tickets 10 yuan, the host will carefully introduce the history and structure of the compound to you. So personally, I think this 10 yuan is also very cost-effective.

crewel

This is the most exquisite temple I have ever seen in Shanxi. Shuanglin Temple is not very big, but it is full of essence. The biggest attraction is the colorful sculptures in each temple. The focus can be on the first two temples, which are world-class in scale, quantity and shape and have high ornamental value.

Personal favorite reasons for Shuanglin Temple:

1. All color sculptures are made of local red clay, which is sticky, so it has a good texture.

2. More than three-quarters of colored plastics are made of hanging plastics, just like hanging in the air, which will give you a super three-dimensional feeling.

3. Yes

Take bus 108 at the bus stop at the north gate of Pingyao ancient city to Shuanglin Temple, but how about it? When riding a pony, I don't I don't know if it's the driver or the route. The driver will bypass Shuanglin Temple, go to Pingyao Ancient City Station, wait for about 30 minutes, and then go to Shuanglin Temple. It wastes a lot of time for tourists. No wonder few tourists come to Shuanglin Temple, which may be one of the reasons.

So I personally think it's best to take a taxi to Shuanglin Temple, which takes about 15 minutes.

Town temple

The attraction of this temple is similar to that of Shuanglin Temple, so I won't say much. You can focus on the five-generation wood structure more than 1000 years ago, and the sculptures inside are also very beautiful. In addition, there are many well-preserved murals on the wall of the Three Buddha Hall behind the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall.

On the left side of Daxiong Hall, there are three murals dedicated to Buddha. Although they look blurred now, they can still see the remaining colors.

Alternative scenic spots in Pingyao: West Village, Liangcun and other ancient villages in Shanxi.

5. How to plan Pingyao tourism arrangements?

Pony has been to Pingyao twice, each time for about 2 days. The first time mainly focused on Pingyao's scenic spots, and the second time mainly went deep into Pingyao's free scenic spots and temples and ancient villages in the suburbs.

Three days is just the time to visit Pingyao. If you want to know Pingyao better, I suggest it takes at least 4-5 days.

Day 1: Pingyao's tourist attractions are: Hunqi Village, an old house.

The next day: The minority scenic spots on the outskirts of Pingyao include Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple.

6. What foods can I try when traveling to Pingyao?

Pingyao, in addition to the ancient city, there are also special foods. It is said that there are 108 kinds of snacks in Pingyao ancient city, among which pasta is the main one. Basically, local snacks with unique flavor can be found in the ancient streets of Ming and Qing Dynasties. The focus can be on the following snacks.

Pasta snacks recommended by Pony:

1. Oat noodles

Listen to the name will feel very distinctive, shaped like a beehive, sour and salty taste. In short, you must try Pingyao. As can be seen from the real shot below, the regular shuttlecock is steamed and dipped in Shanxi vinegar when eating. Of course, there is another way to eat, that is, frying. I personally like this way best. The taste is rich and refreshing.

2. Bowling rules

It is also a favorite snack for tourists. This is also the local people's favorite food among the three meals. Ask the local people, it is not difficult to do this, that is, pour the prepared pulp into a flat bowl, steam it and pour it out. It can be eaten cold or fried with vegetables. Personally, I prefer fried food. You can also try.

3. Daoxiao Noodles

You can't miss Daoxiao Noodles when you arrive in Shanxi. There are basically all of them in the north, so Pingyao is nothing special. If not, if there is no great harmony during the trip, you can try Pingyao, especially those who have been to the south. Don't miss it.

4. Cat ears

The name sounds lovely, but the shape is actually very lovable. Curves and lines look a bit like cat ears, but they taste just so-so, not as good as the previous tunnels.

Besides, we can't miss delicious food, such as fried dumplings, Daoxiao Noodles, camellia oleifera, steamed corn and picking.

Series:

1. Pingyao beef

Almost all restaurants in Pingyao city will have this dish, which is regarded as a long-standing food in the city. Although it is famous, many shops sell it in a rather unorthodox way. Anyway, the pony ate it several times and felt that it was not worthy of the name. Everyone must be careful when eating.

2. Cao Xun elbow

On the contrary, I personally prefer this one. Although it looks a bit like beef, it is unpretentious and cost-effective than beef, mainly because it is not greasy to eat. Suggestions.

3. Cooked meat

This is the most common dish in Shanxi. Usually every restaurant has it. Authentic dishes are usually fried with winter bamboo shoots, fungus, mushrooms and green onions. Sour and sweet, delicious. You must try it when you arrive in Pingyao.

Tips:

The restaurants in Pingyao ancient city are basically the same, so there is no special recommendation, but it is not recommended to eat in the main street, because the rent is expensive and the corresponding price will be much more expensive.

1. We can't help but recommend the Qiao Family Courtyard. If you want to see the compound, you might as well go to the Wangs' compound. Why do you recommend it? Compared with jstars and the Wangs' compound, this is very conscience. The ticket is to 55 yuan, and it's very big.

How to get to the Wang Family Courtyard: There are four buses to the Wang Family Courtyard every day at Pingyao Ancient City Bus Station. If you return, ask the driver that this is the same bus.

The specific departure time is 7: 10, 8:40, 12:30, 1:30.

As for whether the sitcom See Pingyao Again is worth watching, I personally think that if you are interested in the stage play, you will definitely like it. If not, you may feel bored. However, it can be said that choosing a wife, taking a bath with you and taking your soul home will let you see Pingyao's traditional American culture, which I personally think is worth seeing.

The above are pony's travel tips about Pingyao ancient city. I hope it will help your trip. If you have other questions, please leave a message.

Pingyao Ancient City Inn, the best choice for free travel!

For the inn in the ancient city, the most convenient area to travel is the inn in the old street of Ming and Qing Dynasties. The red area below shows the old streets and main streets in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The biggest advantage of the inns in these streets is that they are convenient to travel. Going out is the main street of the ancient city, so it is very convenient to travel. But as we all know, advantages and disadvantages always coexist. The main disadvantage is that it is really not suitable for quiet tourists. There are many shops, bars and tourists in the street. The quality of sleep is naturally not very good. And the price is really high. The famous inns on the main street are: Yunjincheng Inn, Qilinge Hotel and Jinzhai. Personally, I think it's really good, but it's really different grades! But Bian Xiao, an office worker, is really shy!

The perfect accommodation strategy of Pingyao ancient city teaches you how to choose accommodation in Pingyao ancient city.

Some B&B inns located in the ancient city are not on the main street, but they are also some cost-effective areas, which are not expensive and quiet in noisy areas, as shown below. The red area is a good choice area that Bian Xiao thinks, and the red street can directly lead to the main street. The best streets, such as Juyuange Inn near the north gate of West Street, really feel very suitable for us and have a good service attitude. The hardware is also good. I brought many group members to stay. We usually choose to come in the off-season, and the price is 100, which may be a little expensive for individual travelers or peak seasons. It's also normal. There are other homestays and inns in the Red Street area, which should be good. You can compare and choose according to your own preferences!

Pingyao ancient city hotel, the best choice for business travel and express hotel members!

Advantages of the hotel outside the ancient city: suitable for business people and convenient parking. If it is a business trip, Bian Xiao still won't. I don't recommend staying in the ancient city. Recommend express hotels outside the ancient city, such as Hanting Hotel, Home Inn, Seven Days Express, etc!

Hotels outside Pingyao ancient city. In recent years, there have been many drivers recently. Hanting, Home Inn, seven days includes many people, some express hotels, business trips or business trips to Pingyao ancient city. It is suggested that it is more convenient to stay in an express hotel outside the ancient city, and it is more convenient to travel and park than in the ancient city. But if

Ok, so this is the accommodation guide of Pingyao ancient city. According to your own needs and the advantages and disadvantages of some inns recommended by Bian Xiao, you can consider it yourself. Now all major ot websites can book accommodation in Pingyao Ancient City. Really don't need to go to the scene to find a place to live, just waste some time looking for a place to live.
