The Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day holiday are coming soon, and the students who didn't play well during the summer vacation finally ushered in this rare opportunity to relax. Three or two days is not enough for you to go to far places. It has already entered the autumn. The seaside in the northern region is no longer the first choice for travel, and Shanxi is the best choice for short-distance travel in North China. The ancient city of Pingyao is even more popular in Shanxi. The best of the attractions.

      

transportation

      There are two stations in Pingyao, one is Pingyao Station and the other is Pingyao Ancient City Station. At that time, I departed from Taiyuan, and I was deceived by the name of the station. I thought that Pingyao Gucheng Station was closer, so I chose to take the high-speed rail. In the end, I took the bus and looked for a taxi. After I got the taxi, I found that Pingyao Station was far from the place where the taxi let me down. It was only a few hundred meters, which was depressing at the time.

 (1) [Pingyao Ancient City Station] is a high-speed rail station, about 11 kilometers away from the ancient city by car, 25-30 yuan by taxi; [Pingyao Station] is a railway station, about 700 meters walk from the lower west gate (Fengyi Gate) of the ancient city.

There may be a lot of soliciting cars coming out of the ancient city station. You can just go down the steps and walk to the No. 108 bus on the side of the road to reach the ancient city. The ticket is 1 yuan. However, it should be noted that there are two cars on the 108th Road, which arrive at different city gates, so before getting on the bus, you must ask the driver if he can reach the city gate you are going to!

(1) Streets of the ancient city at night

As long as there is light, any corner of the ancient city is a holy place for punching cards, and it is also a holy place for night scene photography of ancient buildings.

(2) Pingyao Confucian Temple

      It is the temple with the longest history among the existing Confucian temples at all levels in my country. The Pingyao Confucian Temple faces south, with a large scale and complete regulations. It is famous all over the world for its rare early buildings among the existing Confucian temples in China.

(3) The Pingyao County Government Office is located in the center of the ancient city, and the entire government office faces south in an axially symmetrical layout. And there are performances that imitate ancient county magistrates to judge cases.

   Set a good time in advance.

(4) Tak Shing Building

      Gufeng Dayuan Inn, the courtyard has three entrances, it is located in the bustling South Street, the key is quietness, a deep courtyard is indeed good, the bustle of the street has nothing to do with me.

The large kang room is very suitable for families and friends to travel. The kang is so big that it is no problem to roll around.

Living in such a courtyard really feels like a rich girl. How can I say that those who could live in such a courtyard in ancient times must be wealthy families.

(5) Synergy Qing Underground Bank

Absolutely a good place to post pictures in the circle of friends. Shanxi businessmen are absolutely not bragging about their wealth, as can be seen from this small bank.

(6) Hong Wu Ji

I really like to sit by the window, eat my own food, and enjoy the excitement outside.

Foods that must be visited in Pingyao

栲栳栳, beef, bowl of bald, sliced ​​noodles. If you can eat it, you can also have a beef copper hot pot.

There is also Shanxi vinegar, basically anything can be eaten with vinegar, you can try it too.

(7) County government prison

Do you want to see what the ancient prisons looked like? The small black rooms are places you never want to enter in your life.

(8) city walls

     The city wall is a holy place to take pictures. You can overlook the ancient city from all angles. You can walk halfway through the city wall. The whole journey is really time-consuming. It is recommended to go up from the south gate and down from the north gate. When there is no upper and lower restrictions, you can also go up and down from the south gate. Just take a look at the South Gate Tower.

(4) There are many snacks in the streets and alleys in the ancient city. It is not easy to come to Pingyao. It is recommended to taste several famous snacks and specialty restaurants, such as millet moon cakes, oat noodles, vanilla rice, bowl trays, stewed noodles, etc. . The taste of vanilla meat may be unacceptable for those who don't like meat, so be careful.

(5) When you come to Pingyao, everyone wants to buy some Shanxi specialties such as Pingyao beef, long yam, and Shanxi mature vinegar! There are many specialty shops in the ancient city, and the prices vary. It is recommended that you go to the regular specialty store Du Quanyong to buy. The price is driven up because you are a foreigner, and the products are very formal, there will be no pitfalls! It is very close to the north gate.

(6) Information for tourists

Do not touch things like rickshaws, dragon chairs, and monkeys playing tricks in the ancient city at will. Ask before taking pictures whether there is a fee, most of which are charged.

There are free public toilets in the ancient city, just search on the map, you don’t need to spend money to go to the toilet!

When you go out, you should be careful about your valuables and teammates. Be careful not to lose them due to the flow of people.

(7) Specialties

Beef can be purchased in bulk and vacuum-packed, and beef jerky is also delicious, and the bulk is cheaper.

Vinegar and wine can be sent by the seller, as long as you buy a certain amount, the delivery should be free.

Camellia oleifera is good for breakfast, and it should not be too delicious when paired with Taigu cakes.

snack

      Most of the snack streets in various places are under the guise of local characteristics, and few of them really have local characteristics. In addition to rotten street snacks such as stinky tofu and pancakes, Pingyao Ancient City also has many local specialty snacks.

This is a unique mooncake in Jinzhong area, which is completely handmade, while most mooncakes in other places are factory-made, and there are very few such handmade ones.

Seabuckthorn juice drink, the most famous of which is the seabuckthorn in Luliang area

Reference price 10 yuan for 3 bottles

These are similar to those of most scenic spots. If you are tired after a meal, you can just buy some supper.
