Itinerary + thoughts before departure

    The recent upsurge of summer travel seems to have subsided a lot, and students are busy starting school. When I passed by No. 1 Middle School a few days ago, it was undergoing military training, and I felt very friendly when I heard the whistle coming out. The last time I was in military training, about three years ago, the scene of dripping sweat under the sun is still vivid in my memory. Tofu The quilt is too difficult to make, so I would rather not cover it all night, huddled in the corner of the bed, and still feel reluctant to part with the instructor... Is it because of getting older? Why did I start to recall again.

    Choose this time to start. On the one hand, there are not many people, and I finally have free time. On the other hand, the time is ripe, and the weather is quite suitable for travel. I chose to cross the ancient city of Pingyao. I actually thought about it for a long time. Haha, self-driving Tour, quite a perfect start.

   Reservation inn: Pingyao Deshenglou Inn, "Big Kang Room".

   See also Pingyao: Tickets are bought by contacting the inn in advance.

   Attraction ticket strategy: You don’t need tickets to enter the ancient city. You need to buy a ticket to go to the scenic spots. The full price of the pass, including 22 scenic spots in the ancient city, is 125 yuan per ticket. Students, the elderly, and disabled friends have it Corresponding preferential policies are available.

    Travel preparation: The temperature difference between morning and evening is large wherever you go this season, so you still need to bring a thin jacket. Mr. Z also wants to take pictures of the ancient city of Pingyao in the morning and night, so clothes and equipment must be indispensable. I brought three charging treasures for battery life for the camera equipment, but I found out that it is superfluous to bring charging treasures. There are charging treasures for scanning codes almost everywhere. We brought biscuits, bread, milk, and a piece of mineral water.

The first time I saw Pingyao, it was this Ming and Qing style Deshenglou Inn

    After getting off the expressway, we could go straight to the Xiaonanmen parking lot that the store said, but because the road was under construction, the owner of the inn greeted us in advance and explained the situation. He was really thoughtful and avoided it. We were overwhelmed after getting off the expressway, so we re-planned the route in advance.

    After parking the car, the person who came to the inn came to pick us up and take us to the inn. The good impression of this ancient city started from this time. The enthusiastic attitude is enough for the kind we have seen on TV before. For the locals who don't answer, the ancient city of Pingyao is really a place full of human touch.

After passing through some small alleys, we arrived at the Deshenglou Inn. The scene that imprinted on our eyes was really eye-opening. Coupled with the rendering of the lights at night, this small courtyard is even more age-like. , Very beautiful, I like this kind of ancient architecture the most.

    There are also window grilles and window frame decorations on the windows. This is not like 2019. This is completely Pingyao City, which has traveled to the prosperous period of Shanxi merchants.

    Let's talk about our room, modern air conditioner, TV, hair dryer... everything is available, the key lies in the layout of this room, it is too historical.

   

    The first night we lived in this type of room called "Dragon and Phoenix" canopy bed, and the second night we went to live in a kang room, of course not because it was uncomfortable, but really wanted to experience what it was like to live in a kang room, haha, I would also like to thank the store for helping us change the room type. They didn't seem impatient at all, and it was a coincidence that we successfully booked the last big kang room in the inn that night, hahaha.

    When I first saw Pingyao, it was Pingyao where warmth and caring coexist.

A popular restaurant in the ancient city, the taste and environment are worth visiting——Hongwuji

   We have heard about Hongwuji Restaurant on the Internet before. We also saw this restaurant when we were doing a guide. It opened on the Ming and Qing Streets of the ancient city. It is very popular. Almost everyone in Pingyao has to check in.

    What is it that makes so many people love it? This trip through the ancient city of Pingyao must not be less to check in~

    Ding~ This is it, looking at the plaque is very charming, like being in the ancient times, and the flowers and plants decorated outside are very pleasing to the eye.

   The environment inside is like this. No wonder many people want to take photos as souvenirs. Different from the blunt decoration of ordinary restaurants, Hongwuji has the upper hand in the environment. I really can’t find a more suitable adjective. Tian Yuankui's difference can be summed up in one word: Praise!

    Let's take a look at these dishes again, they are delicious in color, flavor and taste.

Visit a few scenic spots and take a group of romantic trips

    Let’s briefly talk about the main attractions we have been to. Of course, they are also places that I think must not be missed when visiting the ancient city of Pingyao. The strong cultural color of Shanxi merchants and the preservation of complete historical authenticity are the real time travel~

    The 22 scenic spots in Pingyao Ancient City include: Pingyao Ancient City Wall, Rishengchang, Huiwulin, Weitaihou, Ancient Residential Houses, Chamber of Commerce, North China Escort, Qingxu Temple, Weishengchang, Tianjixiang, Synergy Celebration, China Escort, Tongxing Public Escort Bureau, Baichuantong, County Government Office, Town God's Temple, Confucian Temple, Lei Lutai's Former Residence, Rare Newspaper Exhibition Hall, Ancient Weapon Museum, Erlang Temple, Ma Family Courtyard.

Attraction 1: Pingyao City Wall

    According to legend, the city wall of Pingyao was first built 2,700 years ago, and the current brick and stone city wall with a circumference of 6.4 kilometers was expanded and transformed in the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. The first stop of Pingyao Ancient City’s attractions, we went to Pingyao City Wall. The majestic feeling was already there when we saw it. Not awe-inspiring.

    There is a feeling of climbing high and looking into the distance. You can see the panoramic view from the South Street of the ancient city to the city building, which is really spectacular.

Attraction 2: Pingyao County Government Office

    This is the first time that I have seen the "true appearance" of the county government in places other than TV, and I am quite curious. After all, the scene of the county magistrate's case is vividly seen in the TV series.

    The Pingyao County Government was first built in the Yuan Dynasty and was finalized in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. The entire government office faces south and consists of a central axis and buildings on the east and west sides.

    The Pingyao County Government is the complete reproduction of the lowest ruling institution of the feudal dynasty, the most complete and largest feudal county government in the country, and a comprehensive carrier of local architectural features.

    I still vaguely remember that there was a program where Dad went to the ancient city of Pingyao, and there was a scene in the county government. The scene where the cute jasper was a small county magistrate was really cute, and it was here.

    It can be seen that the county government has strict regulations, which not only follow the traditional layout of axis symmetry, but also conform to the etiquette characteristics of the front court and the back bed.

    The back garden of the county government office is also quite beautiful.

Attraction 3: Rishengchang

    Founded in 1823 A.D., Rishengchang Bank is the first bank in China and is known as "the originator of China's banking industry in the country". It is a milestone in the history of China's financial development and has epoch-making significance. still have extremely important practical significance.

    There is also this blank money order paper, on which the words "Rishengchang" can be vaguely seen, which is really a precious document material.

Attraction 4: Collaborative Celebration

    China Qianzhuang Museum, Synergy Qingpiaohao was founded in Xianfeng six years ago. From small to large, it rose rapidly, which is the epitome of the rise and fall of the piaohao.

Xiexiqing also has an underground vault. After passing through a very narrow alley, the appearance of the underground vault is presented, which is enough to see how rich it used to be. No wonder the Shanxi merchant culture is worth learning. In terms of the way, it appeared. Gather wealth from business.

    The largest coin exhibition hall in the country is an important base for studying the history of modern Chinese finance and currency development.

    The 22 scenic spots all show the epitome of Shanxi merchant culture. Sometimes, we sigh, learn the history and culture of Shanxi merchants, and relive the long history of Shanxi merchants.

    With this feeling of awe, the ancient city of Pingyao has a different feeling, with some vicissitudes of time, but still stable.

     Wearing old-fashioned clothes and being in the ancient city of Pingyao, which is rich in the history and culture of Shanxi merchants, is a time-traveling story recorded in a photo frame.

    Combined with the scenery of the ancient city, it is a period of traveling travel that is still fresh in my memory whenever I think of it.

One day to hide from the rain, we stayed in my mother's vinegar shop for half a day!

    Catch up with the rainy season in the ancient city of Pingyao. When I just woke up in the morning, I heard it was raining outside. In fact, I have almost finished shopping at the scenic spots. I thought about going out today to go shopping in small shops and buy some souvenirs. I will go there at night See you again in Pingyao.

    It seemed difficult to walk out of the inn, so I turned to Chenghuangmiao Street by the way. When I came back from the Town God’s Temple yesterday, I saw my mother’s vinegar shop, but I was in a hurry to go to the next scenic spot, so I didn’t go in and took a photo in a hurry and left.

    Why do I have a special liking for my natal vinegar shop, and I have to set aside half a day to meet it well.

    Although this is the first time I have set foot in my natal vinegar shop, I have tasted the vinegar of his family for a long time. The first time I saw the natal vinegar shop on a variety show, because it is in Shanxi, the famous vinegar capital, so After a few more glances, there was a picture of tasting vinegar, and the sour feeling made me sour in front of the TV. Later, when some friends went to the ancient city of Pingyao, I always told them about this store. At the beginning, I didn’t know whether the taste was authentic or not. I just liked the decoration style of my mother’s house, and the one who always smiled. Grandpa. Later, after my friends tasted it on the spot, they all told me that the vinegar from my mother’s family was unusual. First of all, my mother’s family had several kinds of vinegar, such as ordinary three-to-five-year-old wine, as well as honey, apples, red dates... There are many, many , This time I went to my mother's house to taste it, and I realized that the taste of this vinegar is authentic. And the decoration style of its home, I just love it.

    Just taste it, take a look, buy it, and a whole morning will pass.

"Seeing Pingyao Again" is immersive and shocking for the feeling of time travel.

This is a unique, unprecedented performance

This is a true time travel story with a feeling of time travel

It's not just a show 

more often it's like

I personally experienced the blood inheritance and endless stories.

    Whether it's the bodyguard's bath before going out, or the shock of his soul returning home, or the reluctance when he set foot on Tsarist Russia, or the "heartfelt words" of the wife when the Zhao family chose a wife...all of them are shocked and moved. with.

    232 Tongxing public bodyguards went to Tsarist Russia just to protect the only blood of the treasurer Wang's family. Seven years later, Zhao Dong's family died on the way along with 2332 bodyguards, and the blood of the Wang family continued.

    Really travel back many, many years ago, that true story, came to the streets of the Qing Dynasty hundreds of years ago, felt the life of the people in the Qing Dynasty, and experienced every brick, every brick, every person and thing here.

    After seeing Pingyao again, I can finally feel and understand such a feeling: Walking through several themed spaces of different shapes in 90 minutes, the audience can pick up fragments of the life of their ancestors: Pingyao City in the late Qing Dynasty, Escort, Zhao Family compound, market, South Gate Square, etc., peeking at the clues of the story from the numerous fragments... Watching the live performance is like a "time travel", and the audience is sometimes like a spectator, and sometimes like a witness.

Goodbye and parting are always the most distressing words in the world

When we parted, we already knew what the next life would be like

Still going forward day by day

I'll just act like nothing happened

Two people with different life trajectories

Always return to normal

After all, I am not reconciled to ending in a hurry

when everyone thought it was good

We chose to stay away silently

The saddest tacit understanding

since then

i don't look for you anymore

You don't look for me anymore.
