(1) Deshenglou Inn 126 yuan

                                   

    The ancient style characteristic homestay, the inn is located on Mingqing Street, which is the most concentrated scenic spot in the ancient city and one of the most prosperous places in the ancient city. It is very convenient to go out. There are three courtyards in total, the outermost one is a restaurant, and the second one is the dining room and kitchen. The innermost is the inn. It is very convenient to eat, stay and go to scenic spots here. Moreover, there are very few convenience stores on South Street, and the only nearby convenience store is 10 meters away from the inn. It's really convenient.

(2) Xiangchangtai Inn 135 yuan

      It is also located on West Street, one of the most prosperous places in the ancient city. Shanxi Merchants Courtyard, the courtyard of this inn is beautiful, and the decoration style is more calm, just like the kind of house where the old masters lived in ancient times. Mom and Dad like this room very much. Moreover, there are more types of shops on West Street than on South Street, and it is very close to Ximen.

eat

                                   

(1) Hong Wu Kee Hotel   

                                   

      I ate two meals here, and I have eaten the characteristics of Pingyao. The specialty of Shanxi is basically pasta. Be sure to calculate the amount of staple food and side dishes in advance. The prices of restaurants in the ancient city are generally a bit more expensive. It’s a pity that you can’t eat them.

                                                                                             

                                              

                                   

(2) Jifu Lane

                                   

       There is a super long snack street at the end of Lixi Street in the ancient city, and the snacks inside are very cheap. It is very beautiful at night, and it is a holy place for foodies to check in.

   

(3) Yunlu Old Street

                                   

       Speaking of it, it is a bar street. It is relatively quiet during the day, but it is lively at night. Located near the Confucian Temple, there are many signs of literature and art.

Shopping

                                   

      The specialty products are mainly the most famous Pingyao beef and Shanxi aged vinegar. Beef is generally more expensive, but vinegar is cheaper. The old mature vinegar and red date vinegar bought in my mother's vinegar shop, I prefer the taste of red dates. Not only aged vinegar, but also apple cider vinegar, honey vinegar, etc. The deepest impression this store gave me is that it is really fragrant! Every corner of the air is filled with the smell of wine and vinegar. To be honest, I was attracted by the smell.

                                       

                                                                                    

                               

best trip of my life

                                   

      The best trip in life is when you find a long-lost feeling in a strange place. The ancient city of Pingyao is such a place, unlike other scenic spots, it is just a scenic spot, it is a living city, just like the ancient city of Lijiang, it was never born for traveling. You can walk slowly and appreciate slowly. If you don't leave enough time, you may not appreciate the charm of the small town. He is such a slow-paced, living place. The important thing in life is not the destination, but the scenery along the way. The result is not important, but the process is important.

                                   

      To stay young, you have to pack your bags. Whether it is love or youth, they are all on the road of travel. If you don't travel, you will grow old. Don't forget what you promised yourself to do, and don't forget where you promised yourself to go, no matter how difficult or how far away.
