I want to fall into spring with you
Doing meaningful things while traveling will make your trip more fulfilling.
In February, the ancient city of Pingyao has entered spring. The spring rain has washed away the bluestone slabs, washed away the old wall bricks, washed away the epidemic, and washed away the irritability in people's hearts.
The spring of Pingyao Ancient City has arrived, and travel is a good way to cleanse your heart. Traveling is also a practice. In this practice, let me fall into the spring of Pingyao with you.
Travel ten things
1. Looking at the ancient city wall under the light
Check-in location→Yingxunmen Square
Yingxunmen Square is the main gate of the ancient city of Pingyao—South Gate Square, where the legendary two eyes of Turtle City are located on both sides of the South Gate. The two pavilions are there, and there is an ancient well in the middle of each pavilion. If you are interested, you can go and have a look.
The South Gate Plaza is very wide, and it is also the main entrance for pedestrians, which can be seen from a distance when entering on foot
2. Standing on the city wall, watching the smoke curling up in the city
The ancient city wall of Pingyao is also one of the highlights of the ancient city. It is not only majestic, but also very well preserved. Climb up the city wall and you can overlook the whole picture of the ancient city. Among them, the tower at the South Gate (Yingxun Gate) is the most exquisite, and it is close to the dwellings, and you can see the lives of people in the ancient city. If you have plenty of time, you can walk around the ancient city along the city wall and experience the style and features of the ancient city in all directions. It will take more than an hour. Watching the sunset on the city wall in the evening, the scenery is beautiful.
Check-in location → South Gate Tower, where the scenery is beautiful and the view is relatively wide. You can go up to this building from the south gate. Climb up the city wall for a wider view. There is a newly built park outside the city, which is very beautiful.
3. Eat an authentic Pingyao meal
Jin Cuisine Restaurant Hongwuji Restaurant, not only has Pingyao’s special beef, 栲栳栳, but also the restaurant’s signature dishes, sour soup noodle fish and fish, Qinzhou yellow rice cold cake, etc. The open kitchen is very good! More than 80 yuan for two people can't eat two people at all, you can order a two-person set meal for three people.
What impresses me the most is Hongwuji’s stewed beef with aged vinegar. When the casserole is served, the soup inside is still sizzling, and the chunks of beef are still juicy. And eating beef is not afraid of getting fat.
4. Take a nap on the kang in the home of a fellow villager
Check-in location → Deshenglou Inn The inn is located behind Hongwuji. This is an inn with its own cat. There is also a stage in the yard. You can ask the waiter to bring the food to the big table in the yard. The atmosphere is very good. 100 points of goodwill towards the boss!
This kind of large kang room is very suitable for families or multiple people. It is absolutely no problem to squeeze four or five people on the big kang, haha, you can roll around if you want.
5. Chat with the old man in the ancient city
Check-in location → An old man on South Street [shy], the uncle was sitting at the door of the store to buy things, a native of Pingyao, he should still be there now, Hong Wuji went out about 10 meters to the south, the uncle is very cute haha. You can ask him anything you don't understand.
Uncle's Pingyao-flavored Mandarin is very interesting. By the way, I completed Article 7 with him.
6. Haggle with merchants on Ming and Qing Streets
There is an antique shop next to the city building, but I don’t know much about it, and I’m too embarrassed to haggle over the price and refuse to buy it, so I just went in and looked at it [shy], you must keep your eyes open when buying antiques here, the quality of the goods inside is uneven, look carefully Do it again. Antiques are the most reason to bargain, and other small commodities have a fixed price, but it also depends on your ability.
7. Learn to speak two sentences of Pingyao dialect
These are some of what I remember, just look for the uncle on the street to learn
Fujiko→It means a fool, so cute, there are woods, this word is unique to Pingyao, it can be cute, cheap or coquettish, but don’t use it indiscriminately.
yell → yell
Xieren→Pretty You can praise girls
Flesh sac→fat [laughing and crying R] Don’t use this as a girl, just do it and cherish it.
Baipidongdong→white This can be used as a girl
If you use the above to praise the restaurant waitress, you may get a discount
Dimi→Tomorrow
Ye Lai→Yesterday
make do → make do
...
There are many more I don't remember, welcome to add.
8. Buy an antique lacquerware
Check-in place - Yonglong Road, South Street
Nowadays, there are not many old shops like Yonglong that have been open for decades. The authentic push light lacquerware is only available in specialized lacquerware shops.
If you are tired from walking, you can come in and take a look at Pingyao lacquerware, the girl is full of heart.
9. Try yogurt flavored with aged vinegar
Check-in place→Liang Xiansen Yogurt Shop on Yamen Street
There are various flavors of yogurt, but have you ever tasted old vinegar? Such a magical taste is of course a cup!
10. See and See Pingyao
Check-in place→Enjoy Pingyao Theater
See also Pingyao show at 14:00, 16:00, and 19:00
Set a good time in advance.
Take you back to the ancient times and see the touching stories of the ancient Pingyao Escort
Who did not move the heart is far
Some people say: "There must be at least two impulses in life: a desperate love and a trip that goes away."
I think that in everyone's youth, there was a period of longing for travel, a trip that just went away. But in reality, due to various reasons, this beautiful hope has become a beautiful dream every midnight dream.
If you have not embarked on that dream journey, I would like to use the above words to tell you the meaning of travel. Please listen carefully.
