Shaanxi looks at the underground, Shanxi looks at the house

If you go to Shanxi, you must go to the ancient city of Pingyao to take a look! More than 4,000 mansions, the former financial capital!

There are old city walls mottled with time, ancient houses, streets and shops, rich Shanxi merchant culture, and simple Jinzhong folk customs.

Preface Tips:

【duration】:

It is recommended to spend 2-3 days, two days in the city and one day outside the city, which is the most perfect.

【transportation】:

Usually go to Taiyuan or Linfen (with planes) first, then transfer to Pingyao

l Is Pingyao Station a railway station? It is convenient, and it takes 15 minutes to walk to the ancient city

l Pingyao Ancient City Station is a high-speed rail station, saving time, 20-30 yuan by taxi

The city is now under strict control. There is no rental of bicycles and electric cars, and you cannot pick up and drop off at the hotel. The sightseeing car in the city?

[Eat]: The average per capita is about 40, which is very good. Those who like to eat sour are really blessed. Vinegar eggs, vinegar, eggplant, vinegar and beef are all delicious, and you can drink them directly. There are good shops in and out of the city, and I will make a special chapter to recommend them later.

【live】:. There are many inns in the city, rich and frugal depending on the person, most of the 100 or so are "special" beds similar to Kang, and most of the ancient city is walking, so if you are afraid of noise, you can choose a shop on the edge of the city.

[Performance]: See Pingyao again, the price on the official website is 238, and the price at the inn is 220. There will be a show at 2 pm and 7 pm; there will be no performances on Mondays. I will also open a special chapter to write

[Souvenirs]: This is vinegar and Pingyao beef. Many hotels and restaurants will give vinegar, but I didn’t study it because our plane can’t check it in. If you want to buy Pingyao beef, choose the most famous Guanyun.

What to do in town:

The 22 scenic spots are mainly distributed in South Street and West Street. There is no need to plan the route, just follow the map. Escort bureaus, ticket offices, banks, government officials, Chenghuang Temple, Confucian Temple, etc. are all close together. Where there are many people, there are things;

From time to time, you can also encounter street performances: the county grandpa goes on tour, welcomes relatives and marry daughters, the number one scholar praises officials and parades through the streets, and the God of Wealth blesses them.

You can go up the city wall before 17:00, the city wall is beautiful in the morning and evening

The former central bank's collaborative celebration must be seen

There are many escort agencies, Tongxinggong is the most spectacular

If you come to Pingyao without looking at the ticket, you will come in vain. The three ticket numbers go together.

There is no performance during the county government YQ

City God God of Wealth Kitchen God three temples in one

Confucian Temple is two hundred years earlier than Shandong Confucian Temple

Climbing up and looking far in the Confucian Temple also has a special flavor

If you want to experience the life of the residents, you can go to the edge of the ancient city, and walk along the 84 streets

There are many merchants in Pingyao. In order to gather wealth, many houses have length but no width.

The houses are uniformly covered with half sides, in the shape of ingots, and a well will be placed in the middle to gather wealth

What to do outside the city:

Strongly promote Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple! There is no difference between the two, and I have enough time to go to both, which makes me feel a sense of shock in Dunhuang~ But we don’t have enough time, so we only saw Shuanglin Temple, which has more convenient transportation, just next to the high-speed rail station~

How can you come to Pingyao without eating delicious Shanxi cuisine?

Follow Jiangjiang Jiangzi to eat!

Personally feel delicious food inside and outside the city to share with everyone.

If it’s not tasty, I won’t write it…it’s easy to get stuck

Shanxi cuisine is generally salty, but it is refreshing with sea buckthorn juice

There are different brands of seabuckthorn juice, the most common one is 3 bottles/10 yuan, which is too thick, and the seabuckthorn juice in restaurants is better.

The small tips are written in front:

①We have a unified rest on Monday, no performances

② Tickets need to be purchased in advance

③ Ask the hotel owner about the price, it will be slightly cheaper than online

④ Situation drama, heavy experience, it will look better if you invest in it

⑤Remember, it is to take you back to the ancient times, otherwise you will feel feisty...

Last year I participated in "Encounter Pingyao". Why do you need to participate? Because it breaks the conventional mode of watching dramas, it is you who participate in this set environment, and stay in it to see what happened in Pingyao in this era.

Detailed address: No. 154, Shuncheng Road, Pingyao County, next to Pingyao Ancient City, within walking distance

Per capita consumption: 238 yuan (official, buy 220 with others)

The entire performance includes: "Escort Master Bathing", "Choosing a Wife", "Returning to the Soul", "Mianxiu" and so on.

Interspersed with actors interacting with the audience, 80 minutes, 150 actors, about loyalty, blood, and root-seeking, even if they are not fully immersed, they will still be touched. In 2020, the Pingyao Ancient City is free of charge. The 220 yuan seems to be paid to the ancient city and Pingyao again, so I think it is generous.

postscript

Imagine if you were from Pingyao hundreds of years ago

It's good to be protected like this and live an ordinary life
