D1: (2018-8-13) Everything was ready yesterday. I originally planned to get up at 7:30, but because I was too excited to travel, I woke up early and got up at 6:50. The family of three made beef noodles For breakfast, at 7:40, take the carpool rental contacted in advance and rush to Jinchang Airport.
Jinchang Airport Appearance
Arrived at the airport at 8:50, there were very few people, and the ticket office was not open yet. I didn’t get the ticket until 9:20. I forgot the water I bought when I went out. I didn’t know it was really expensive until I bought things at the airport. It is 1.2 times of the normal price. I bought a bottle of mineral water (Baisui Mountain) and a bottle of pulsation for 18 yuan. I started to go through the security check at 10:10. I guess the equipment here is not too advanced. It is better to check manually when passing the security check Carefully, from the front to the back, from the top to the bottom, the manual security check at the Capital Airport is not so strict. I took China Eastern Airlines MU9634 (Jinchuan to Xianyang) on time at 11:00. If it is more intense, it is estimated that the elderly and those with poor heart will feel more uncomfortable. Arrive at Xianyang Airport at 12:47. There are buses to various places opposite the airport. I found a bus to the high-speed railway station. The fare is 25 yuan. I didn’t ask how much the taxi cost when I left the airport. There are so many people that the taxi is fast and convenient (Shaanxi side) The transportation is relatively convenient), and at 13:35, take the bus from Xianyang to Xi’an North Railway Station (moving station), and check Ctrip’s private car transfer on the bus, only 52 yuan for 6 yuan, 46 yuan, regret not booking earlier, Xianyang in August is still It was high temperature, with the highest temperature on that day being 36°C. It was less than 30 kilometers from Xianyang to Xi'an North Railway Station. The special car drove for about 25 minutes and arrived at Xi'an North Railway Station at 14:00.
Xi'an North Railway Station Appearance
After I arrived, I found that it was not convenient to eat here. I could only eat some ham sausage and bread that I carried with me for lunch. I took the ticket and entered the waiting hall to wait. When I wandered around the waiting hall, I found that the third floor was the eating area and I saw a KFC store. I didn’t go up to see it due to time constraints, and I don’t know if it’s expensive or not. I entered the station at the A26 ticket gate at 15:20, took the D1960 train to Taiyuan, and bought mineral water for high-speed rail on the train (because I haven’t seen it on the market). 10 yuan per bottle (more expensive than the one at the airport)
Mineral water for trains
Arrived at Taiyuan South Railway Station at 19:00 on the same day (arrived half an hour earlier), contacted the reserved hotel, because the place where he lived was relatively close to the South Railway Station, he said to pick us up, and he let us pass through the west exit of the South Railway Station Waiting in the underground passage (opposite Wanfeng), the owner of the family-style hotel is very enthusiastic. I felt the enthusiasm of the Shanxi people as soon as I got off the train. After checking in, the owner introduced the room and various facilities in detail. I really feel that I chose the right one with good quality and low price Accommodation, after settling in the accommodation, we visited Taiyuan at night. The night in Taiyuan was relatively cool after the rain, so we chose a restaurant called "1+1 Noodle House".
For Gansu people who mainly eat pasta, the food in Shanxi is very adaptable. The food here is the same as most of Gansu, also mainly pasta, and the price is also cheap.
D2: Taiyuan-Wutai Mountain-Datong 2-day tour with the group
(1) (2018-8-14) The first day's route is Taiyuan - Wutai Mountain - Wutai Mountain at night
Because the place where I live is 15 kilometers away from the departure point, the group has to gather at 7:30, so I get up at 5:00, because there is no food outside in the morning, so I solve the breakfast with instant noodles at the hotel, and the reservation at 6:00 in advance The driver of Didi Taxi did not arrive at 6:25 because he was not familiar with the road conditions (a lot of roads were closed and detoured). The driver was a handsome guy with an apologetic face and mutual understanding. He arrived at the meeting point in about 20 minutes On Wuyi East Street behind Wanbang International, where the tour buses to Mount Wutai basically gather, we found that we arrived early and the bus hadn’t arrived yet. After waiting for about five minutes, we saw Che Jin A99689 in the text message. We are The first wave of people chose to sit in a more comfortable seat in the front. There is a public toilet next to the car. Those with stomach problems don’t have to worry about finding a toilet. Because the train of people who joined the group was delayed, they gathered when they set off It was already 8:00. In the car, the guide Jiang introduced the itinerary and precautions of the trip in detail. Wutai Mountain is more than 300 kilometers away from Taiyuan, and it takes about three hours. After getting off the car, it is raining lightly. The tour guide arranged for the ticket check-in to enter the station and take the car to the dining place again. Less than 10 minutes after buying the ticket and entering the scenic spot, the sun has come out. The weather in the mountains is changeable, and the temperature in the mountains is relatively low. It is best to bring a thermos cup , to prevent catching cold, you should bring some cash when traveling in Wutai Mountain, and many tour guides accept cash. The tour guide told us that Wutai Mountain is a sacred place of Buddhism. Don’t talk nonsense, don’t dream, keep your heart calm, and make a wish with sincerity. You can’t enter the hall. Step on the threshold, do not point to the Buddha statue with one finger, do not take photos of Buddha statues, pagodas, Buddhist steles, no smoking and other precautions, arrange accommodation at 12:20, have a group meal, and go to Guanghua Temple first after the meal.

Guanghua Temple
Buddhist Academy (minimum diploma for practitioners requires a bachelor’s degree)
The tour guide in Guanghua Temple explained in detail the etiquette of offering incense and worshiping Buddha. The left hand is on the top and the right hand is on the bottom. Make a wish, then go down to the heart, recite silently, spread the palms of both hands down on the futon, and worship the Buddha at the same time, spread out the palms when standing up, palms upward, to receive the aura of the Buddha, and must hold hands tightly when standing up. During free activities, I went up to worship Buddha, and then took a car to the top of the Bodhisattva.
Bodhisattva top
Bodhisattva Peak is the family temple of the Qing Dynasty. Kangxi, Qianlong, and Jiaqing all erected steles here. Mao Zedong's "8341", "Nine Nine Returns to One", "First Wen and then Wu" and other famous hexagrams, Lu Zhishen was drunk and pulled down willows and kicked the front gate The other stories all happened on the top of the Bodhisattva, and the others are similar, but the stories are different. Finally, I went to Shuxiang Temple. It is said that the head of Manjushri Bodhisattva in the main hall here is made of noodles, with a history of more than 400 years.
Shuxiang Temple
getaway paradise
After visiting the three scenic spots in the afternoon, I returned to my residence at 16:50. After a half-day rest, I settled for dinner with a group meal at 17:40. In fact, I don’t need to have dinner with the group. Because there is enough time in the afternoon, I can hang around and eat nearby later. The price is not too expensive. A large bowl of sliced noodles is 10 yuan, shredded potatoes are 10 yuan, shredded cabbage is 12 yuan, buffet breakfast is 10 yuan per person, etc. There are small restaurants that mainly serve home-cooked dishes.
Inexpensive eateries everywhere
After eating, I walked around the street for half an hour and returned to my residence. I left early at 5:15 tomorrow morning to worship the Wuye Temple, so I had an early rest.
(2) (2018-8-15) The second day's route is Mount Wutai-Hengshan-Yungang Grottoes-Taiyuan (It is not recommended for good men and women not to go to Mount Wutai, or not to travel with a group)
Get up at 4:30 in the morning, leave for Wuye Temple on time at 5:15 after washing, walk for about half an hour and arrive at the "Miaodexuan" of Wutai Mountain Unified Master Circulation Office to invite incense, the cheapest is 100 yuan, and the family portrait is 300 yuan , Gao Xiang, who made a wish for 800 yuan and made a wish, and we brought our children. She actually wanted to ask for 800 yuan for Gao Xiang, but she had no choice but to satisfy the girl’s wish. I didn’t care. I only found out that a hada was 200 yuan when I settled the bill, and I spent 1,000 yuan here. Later, I found out that no matter what kind of incense you choose, the consumption will not be less than 600 yuan. If you buy 100 yuan of incense, the mages will give you a smart lamp. , Longevity Lamp or something, go to Wuye Temple after inviting incense, and there are already crowds of people in front of the incense burner in front of Wuye Temple.
There are huge crowds of people, all of them are good men and believers!
"Little Potala Palace"
According to the tour guide, first take out a handful of incense (different incenses are different), light it, and say "I will make offerings to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Wutai Mountain with this merit, and pray for the blessings of the whole family with this merit." Turn clockwise and pray in three directions, east, south, west, and then put it in the incense burner, then take out all the remaining incense, count nine and light it to worship the true north, say your wish, and then worship the fifth master, and finally the girl raises her hands respectfully After the hour hand makes a circle, put the Hada on the front door of the incense burner and burn it.
Climb all the way through Mount Wutai, the highest altitude of Mount Wutai is 2,800 meters, the tour guide reminds you not to sleep, you will have altitude sickness, how can you feel about our plateau?
From the highest peak, you can see the Dongtai Wanghai Peak on the right from a distance, and the North Terrace on the left, which is usually used for snow viewing. There are 124 temples in Wutai Mountain and more than 36,000 monks. Lamas, lamanis, bhikkhus, bhikkhunis, emperors, top leaders, politicians, rich people, and celebrities from all over the world come to Mount Wutai to pay homage, which makes them famous at home and abroad. It’s expensive, it’s a bit expensive for us to play, all the way north to Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, halfway you can see a Xuezi monument, said to commemorate the dead scientist’s monument, in Shahe, Wutai County I made a temporary stop in the town and bought some old cucumbers that I hadn’t eaten for many years. They were not as delicious as ours. I went on to the “Yingxian Wooden Pagoda”, one of the world’s three great pagodas (the fare per person 50 yuan at your own expense).
Taking the Bodhisattva as the main reference, it can be seen that it is tilted a lot!
The Yingxian Wooden Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, and the Eiffel Tower in France are known as the world's three largest towers. They are built of pure wood with a total weight of more than 2,000 tons. Ta can see the Sanggan River (known because of Ding Ling's "The Sun Shines on the Sanggan River"), but unfortunately the wooden pagoda can no longer be climbed, and the Sanggan River is almost dry. The leaked fish roe here is similar) is still more delicious. After taking pictures in front of the wooden pagoda and eating jelly, you can rush to the Hanging Temple built on the second peak of Mount Heng.
Very humble Hengshan
Only when I came to Hengshan did I realize that the Xuankong Temple is not as good as I imagined, and Hengshan is surprisingly ordinary. I don’t know why Hengshan has become a northern mountain? The full ticket is 125 yuan, and you can go to the temple. Because our time is limited, the tour guide told us not to go to the temple. You have to queue up for at least 3 hours before you can go to the temple. I took pictures from a distance, and it was 13:20 when I came out. I had a group meal nearby and rushed to Yungang Grottoes.
After entering the park, walk 500 meters along the "Lifo Avenue" and arrive at the battery car point. It costs 15 yuan for a round trip and 10 yuan for a single trip. In fact, the distance is not far. In fact, go straight ahead, pass through a section of modern ancient buildings, and on the right hand side are caves 1-4 of the Yungang Grottoes, which are nothing to look at, just a few caves, and the open and attractive ones are caves 5-6. It is a combination of stone carvings and painted paintings. Today just caught up with the permission to take pictures. Most of the time it is said that pictures are not allowed. For those of us who do not understand history and do not study history, it is just a visit to this place. I can't feel the charm and value of the grottoes anymore.
Emperor Wencheng Tuoba Jun
Caves 7-15 are not open. Caves 16-20 are the main grottoes to visit. It is a group of grottoes carved by Tanyao Stone. The main statues symbolize several emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Cave 16 is Tuoba Jun, Emperor Wencheng. Cave 17 is Jing Muhuang who died without taking the throne. Cave 18 Tuoba Tao, Emperor Taiwu. The 19th cave is the arrangement of the Buddha of the third generation. The Buddha statue in the main cave is Sakyamuni. On both sides of the south wall, there are scenes of Sakyamuni meeting his son (Rahula). The main Buddha in Cave 20 sits in lotus position, also known as the "Great Buddha in the Open Air".
"Open Air Buddha"
Others are not open or damaged and cannot be visited. It takes about an hour before and after. Take the battery car and get off at the "Food Street" and walk out to the designated place to wait. All the collection is 17:10, and you will rush back to Taiyuan at full speed. Yanmen Pass, due to the road collapse, the scenic spot is closed, and you can only watch the distant view of Yanmen Pass by car
Prospect of Yanmen Pass
Taiyuan Station at night
It was 21:30 when I arrived in Taiyuan. After a simple dinner, I stayed at GreenTree Inn Taiyuan for a rest. GreenTree Inn Taiyuan is the worst GreenTree Inn I have ever stayed in. The service is not ordinary.
D4: (2018-8-16) Jinci Museum—Shanxi Museum—Shanxi Geological Museum—Taiyuan Library—Fen River—Liu Lane
Early in the morning, I took a car booked by Didi Taxi to Jinci (10 yuan per person for the bus, 5 yuan for the bus, because the road can not go directly to the east gate of the museum, and 5 yuan for the black car), passing Shanxi TV Station all the way, Fenhe, Shanxi Geological Museum, Shanxi Museum, Shanxi Sports Center, after driving for about 50 minutes, we arrived 3 kilometers away from Jinci Temple. Due to the road construction ahead, there was a traffic jam. I thought that one of the hitchhiking drivers had something to do, after all, it was not a special car, so I walked Bigan waited quickly, so he got out of the car decisively and asked about the route before heading there on foot.
Road repairs and traffic jams are severe!
When we came here, we didn’t eat breakfast and bought some biscuits, but we found that there are food in this town. Because the main road was blocked due to road construction, we didn’t see the obvious sign. Some local people in the middle road waved to us and said that this is the Jinci Park or something, I thought it was a lie, so I ignored it, and walked all the way to the west end (passing by the Huiyuan Gate on the south side is marked as an employee-only passage, we went early, it seems that we can go in directly, because I don’t know if I didn’t, if If you go in early, you can give it a try. If you book a ticket online that can be refunded at any time, you can get a refund after you get in. If you can’t get in, pretend that you don’t know and then look for the main entrance.) Still can’t see the main entrance, and the Gaode map shows that you have passed by After entering the main entrance, I went back to the person who greeted me and asked where I came in from the parking lot. Then I realized that the place where I greeted you for the first time was the side entrance of Jinci Park. You can pass through Jinci Park to reach the east gate of Jinci Park. The second greeting is to enter from the south gate of the parking lot to the east gate. On the way, I met a guide and asked if I would like to explain. The price is 80 yuan. After negotiation, the deal is 50 yuan, and the half-ticket is 40 yuan. Only cash is accepted here, and WeChat payment is not supported. What, so you need to bring enough cash. You only know after checking the ticket into the temple. The Jinci Temple is not big, and there are many guides. You can just pick one up. There is no need to spend this money. In an hour, the commentator summarized the three wonders, three plaques and three treasures of Jinci. Feiliang, the Temple of the Holy Mother", after paying the fee, they had free activities for 40 minutes and left the temple at 11:00.
The "Three Plaques" of Jinci Temple: Water Mirror Platform, Duiyue, and Xiandian
The "Three Treasures" of Jinci Temple: Dedicated Hall, Fish Marsh Flying Beam, Notre Dame Hall
"Three Wonders" of Jin Temple: Zhou Bai and Tang Huai, Colored Sculptures of Song Dynasty, Fountain of Youth
It is said to be the handwriting of Lafayette Cixi
After leaving the temple, I planned to take a Didi taxi back, but in the exit passage, I met someone who asked to go back to the city. I thought it would be cheap, but I was pestered and couldn’t leave when I talked to him. In the end, I had to sit for 5 yuan The black car went to the bus station and took a Didi taxi to the Shanxi Museum. The Shanxi Museum is open for free, but you need to take an ID card to collect tickets (the ticket collection office is at the east gate, and we entered from the west gate). The museum has 5 floors in total, in a gossip The first floor is the office area, the second floor has two exhibition halls for "Cradle of Civilization and Jin Kingdom Hegemony", the third floor has four exhibition halls "Ming and Qing Jin merchants, opera culture, Buddha's legacy, and national melting pot" and the fourth floor has five exhibition halls That is to say, "The world around the square, calligraphy and painting, civil and splendid chapters, porcelain garden art, mountain and river elite", next to it is the Shanxi Geological Museum. It is already 14:30 after coming out of the Shanxi Museum, and I am already hungry. The map of Gaode shows that There is a Lanzhou ramen restaurant 500 meters away, but I couldn’t get past it. I passed it after a long circle. I ordered Xinjiang noodles, beef fried noodles and braised beef noodles. It may be because I was hungry, but the taste was not bad. After eating, I found out that it would be You can go across the museum or the Geological Museum or the Taiyuan City Library to that street (lunch can be settled on that street). These three places are open. The Geological Museum closes at 5 o'clock and closes at 4 o'clock. Letting in, I struggled to find the ticket collection office (at the south gate), and it was already 15:56 to collect the ticket. I said at the door that I don’t need to collect the ticket, as long as I have an ID card, I walked around for half an hour. It’s all about geography. If you are interested, you can take a look. Finally, I went to the Taiyuan City Library to have a look. The library is relatively large and advanced, and there are many people. There are not too many people who disturb the study. I left quickly. The trees planted in the middle of the road here are pruned into natural barriers. If you want to cross the road, you have to go to the overpass to get there. Walk to Fenhe Park.
After shopping around, I was going to take a ride back to the hotel, but Didi took a taxi for half a day and no one took the order. Maybe it was because the distance was relatively short and no one took the order. I had to walk. It took about 20 minutes to arrive at the hotel. This is quite a feeling. Tired, after resting for two hours, I went to Liuxiang for a stroll and finished my dinner by the way, and went to Liuxiang.
East, West, South and North Streets in the center of Liuxiang
Seeing the Chongqing originator hot pot, I suddenly wanted to eat hot pot, so I went in and ordered the mountain mushroom soup pot to start eating. This is the lightest hot pot ever.
The hot pot here has neither spicy sauce nor mashed garlic. I ordered a bowl called "two kinds", but it turned out to be sesame and chopped green onion. I was not used to eating it directly, and I was sweating profusely after eating it. When checking out, there is a prompt to scan the QR code to pay the bill. After scanning the food list and price, it is very convenient. We don’t have it here. After we came out, we went shopping along Liu Lane, bought some snacks and fruits, and returned hotel.

I was a little tired after getting up early and returning home late. Today I slept until 8:20. After getting up, I ate pumpkin porridge and buns next to the hotel. I took bus No. 863 at Sanqiao Station on Fuxi Road and got off at Yingze Bridge West Station. The car is the Shanxi Coal Museum. I bought a children’s ticket for 30 yuan, but it is necessary to ask an interpreter, otherwise you will not be able to go down the underground mine. The explanation fee is 50 yuan for less than 10 people. There are 9 people, 6 yuan per person, and 36 yuan left. There are still some people who can watch it, so that the children can increase their knowledge.

, After playing for about an hour and a half, it was 11:40 when I came out. I basically visited the scenic spots in Wanbailin District. Take 803 and get off at Liubei Station. I settled for lunch at Liujie, and then came to Wenying Park and visited it along the way. We went to the Memorial Hall of the Former Site of the Taiyuan Branch of the Communist Party of China (Peng Zhen Memorial Hall), passed through the Shanxi Hotel, and went to Wuyi Square. Wuyi Square is actually not too big. It was relatively hot at noon, and there were basically no trees in the square, so there were relatively few people. We went to Chunyang Palace, but it was closed for maintenance. We walked along Yingze Road for about 1.5 kilometers to Yingze Park.

We entered the north gate, which is also the largest gate. There are obvious signs. The other east and west gates are relatively small, which are just convenient gates. Yingze Park is still relatively large. It took an hour to swim halfway, and I also felt I was tired, and I had to get up early tomorrow, so I took a taxi back to the hotel, and I ate pasta under the hotel for dinner - rubbing (similar to the firecrackers here).

Jinzhong is dominated by Shanxi merchants. Northern Shanxi is dominated by Buddhist culture, while southern Shanxi is mainly tourist destinations for ancestor worship and root-seeking, such as the mother of the Yellow River, Hongtong big locust tree, etc. The largest in Jinzhong is the Changjia Manor (at the largest there were 60 Qiaojia The compound is large, and now there are 12 Qiao’s compound), the richest is the Cao’s compound (400 taels of silver ingots can be used to pave the road from Beijing to Taiyuan), and the Wang’s compound is an official residence, with an area of 250,000 in the past.

The tour guide gave a brief introduction to the ancient city of Pingyao.
The Pingyao Station of the bullet train is less than 2 kilometers away from the ancient city, but the Pingyao Ancient City Station is far away.
The ancient city of Pingyao is built with turtles, with the head of the turtle in the south and the tail of the turtle in the north. There are about 50,000 local residents living in the ancient city. There are four main streets, among which the South Street is the most prosperous, and the night scene of snacks is concentrated here. The whole city has large and small 22 scenic spots, the first is the ancient city wall with a history of more than 2,000 years, the brick city wall with a history of 700 years, a relatively complete county government office, Confucian Temple, and the first bank in China—Rishengchang Bank (developed by Dyebufang) come), Escort Museum, etc. Tickets are 130 yuan, and there is also a large-scale indoor sitcom - "See Pingyao Again", with a ticket price of 238 yuan.

The pasta here is cheap and the beef is expensive, as long as the word "ox" is included, it is more expensive. For example, the general cold bowl is 8-10 yuan per bowl, and the beef fried bowl is 38 yuan. In fact, it is only a few pieces of beef. 8-10 yuan for shaved eggs, tomatoes, and 16 yuan for beef. Basically, there is no beef, just beef soup. It is recommended not to order beef with it. There are few bowls and small bowls in the scenic area of the ancient city, so you usually order a big bowl, the small ones are not enough to eat, and the drinks in the scenic area are not too expensive, basically 1-2 yuan more expensive than other places, and it took nearly 5 hours to see the flowers. After visiting the general scenic spots, I was already tired. Just look at a representative bodyguard bureau and ticket number. There is no need to enter each of them. It is roughly the same. After a 2-hour rest, we turned out of the city wall, and dinner was on the city wall. Eating outside the city is less than 1 km away from the city, but the price gap is astonishing. I didn’t eat enough at 120 at noon, and I didn’t dare to order beef. I was full at night, and I ordered beef for only 110 yuan. Strolling around the night view of the ancient city, there are more people at night, and they all came out for shopping. When I was shopping, I met a seller of ebony plums. The girl wanted to taste it. It was 20 yuan per catty. After buying it, I realized that I was cheated. It was grapes (grapes). , What is the ebony.

Official Residence - Wang Family Courtyard
Lifelike and meaningful stone carvings
Entering from the east gate means that the purple air comes from the east. Its stone carvings, wood carvings, brick carvings, and courtyard designs are all excellent. There are 101 officials from the fifth rank to the second rank recorded in the Wang Family Courtyard. It takes about one hour to visit. After returning to the car after an hour, there are handmade moon cakes at the entrance of the scenic spot, which are 10 yuan and 6 yuan. Moon cakes, the price gap is so big, I don’t know if it tastes the same as the one in the scenic area, and the mineral water is also 2 yuan per bottle. In the past few days in Shanxi, I feel that the distance between the scenic area and the outside of the scenic area is less than 500 meters, but the price gap is huge. , It is recommended not to buy food, drink or anything in the scenic area, because it is not a few steps away. After leaving the Wang family compound, we rushed to Hukou Waterfall.
Hukou Waterfall (Ji County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province)
Departure at 9:30 and arrived at Hukou Town at 13:30. As soon as I got off the bus, I felt that the temperature was much higher than that in Taiyuan. After the beginning of autumn, it was still a hot day. Great, the group meal in Hukou Town is not very convenient to eat in Hukou Town. It is recommended to have a group meal with a group. Hukou is the junction of the two provinces. To the east is Hukou Town, Jixian County, Linfen City, Shanxi, and to the west is Yan'an, Shaanxi. Hukou Town, Yichuan County
(The famous siege tactics are used here.) The waterfalls in Hukou Town, Shanxi Province are more shocking, and can show the magnificence of "the wind is roaring, the horses are screaming and the Yellow River is roaring", and the waterfalls in Yichuan are reflected in the pearl curtain waterfall. Here you can see how the Yellow River closes in a pot of natural wonders. The narrowest point is only 48 meters, and the deepest depth is more than 100 meters. It moves backward at a speed of 0.7 meters every year. After visiting Hukou in Shanxi After finishing all the itinerary in Shanxi, the tour guide sent us to the Hukou Waterfall ticket office on the opposite side to wait for the tour guide on the Shaanxi side. We met on time at 5:00, and followed the group here to enter the Hukou Waterfall scenic spot in Shaanxi. After taking pictures outside We rushed back to Yichuan County together. Hukou is less than 50 kilometers away from Yichuan County. Because of the mountain road, we walked for nearly an hour. During this journey, the tour guide gave patriotic red education. There are still a lot of mosquitoes in Sichuan at night, and I only stayed for four or five hours, and I was bitten all over my body, so it is very important to prevent mosquito bites here, and I use scorpion noodles to solve it at night.
(3) (2018-8-20) The third day's route is Yichuan-Wangjiaping-Yan'an-Xi'an
In order to be able to go early in each scenic spot and not waste time in traffic jams, the tour guide asked us to get up at 4:00 in the morning and leave on time at 5:00 after eating. The same tour guide on the Internet has been carrying out patriotic red education. Another purpose of receiving this education is to allow you to participate in a self-funded project to watch the large-scale outdoor sitcom "Battle of Yan'an". Adults are 180 yuan, and students are half-price. The whole family also signed up to participate. The scenic spots in Yan'an are basically free. The first scenic spot we arrived at the Wangjiaping Revolutionary Site,
Stills of Yan'an defense battle
Because I came here in 2011, I didn’t go with the group, but went for a tour by myself. I thought that all the houses here have become new, and the Yan’an Museum is next to it, which is quite interesting, but the tour group did not Arranged to visit, but went to the first shopping point of this trip, a shop to buy Hericium erinaceus jujube, went shopping for half an hour, did not buy anything, the second stop was Zaoyuan, the construction was more advanced than before , You need to swipe your ID card to enter the park. After entering, you also find that all the houses and cave dwellings are new. I couldn’t help but ask the guide to know that it rained for 42 consecutive days in Yan’an in 2013, and more than a hundred bubbles in Yan’an collapsed. The cave dwellings, Wangjiaping, Zaoyuan, Yangjialing and other revolutionary old residences were not spared, so they were rebuilt. The rebuilt ones are not as meaningful as the original ones. After visiting Zaoyuan, I went to watch the "Battle of Yan'an". The gunfire scene and sound effects are good. The elderly and those with a bad heart need to be mentally prepared in advance, otherwise the sudden sound of gunfire will be unbearable. The real guns are used, but there are no bullets. You can pick up some after the performance I don’t know if the bullet casing is real or not. After watching it at 12:20, I went out to eat at 13:20. I officially rushed from Yan’an to Xi’an. Because the road is also a mountain road, I walked for more than 5 hours and arrived at 18:10. Near the train station, go to Dongxin Street introduced by the tour guide to taste Xi'an snacks.
I tasted snacks such as "Wang's Bucket Chicken", "Zheng's Steamed Bun", "Old Chen's Stewed Vegetables" and "Old Bai's Lobster King". Xi’an people eat snack street by themselves. After eating, they directly take a taxi and open the hourly room for 120 yuan/room. After a 4-hour rest, they check in and enter the station. Bao, the data cable was mistakenly installed in someone else’s bag. I contacted the tour guide and asked whose bag it was put in, but there was no result, so I had to buy a data cable by myself. Stop at the hourly room of the railway station until 0:30 and enter the station after checking in
D9: (2018-8-21) Arrive at Lanzhou at 9:30 on the 21st by taking train T283 from 01:37 to 9:30 on the 21st. After getting off the bus, it rained heavily in Lanzhou. I was lazy and didn’t take the umbrella in my bag. The result was short 100 meters away, the whole body is soaked. There are many people in the ramen restaurant next to it. It feels like a rising tide. A bowl of beef noodles is 8 yuan, a tea egg is 2 yuan, and the phone is charged for half an hour. 5 yuan, and the rain further away The big one couldn't go. After eating, considering that the rainy car was not safe, I decided to take the train. At 11:00, I checked that the train number was only K175 and it was not delayed. Reminder that it is one hour late, and there are more than 100 late trains. Some trains are delayed for an hour. After entering, they are notified that they are late for one hour. When I went to get a refund, I found that there were more refunds than those who bought tickets. I had no choice but to continue to wait. The 12:38 bus didn’t leave until 13:00, and it was going slowly. Remember to buy the crossing ticket at the departure station in the future. There are few delays. When buying a ticket, you can get home an hour earlier in order to get home early and take a ride to Wuwei. As a result, the train was delayed until 19:40, and all the rides went back, so I had to charter a car back. The first time I got home was 22:00 in the evening. I think Going home early turned out to be hard to follow people's wishes!
Shanxi Travel Summary:
1. Take the north line by the driver's side (left hand), and the south line by the door side (right hand), so you can avoid the sun.
2. If you are not a good man or a believer, it is recommended not to travel to Wutai Mountain. If you want to go and have faith, spend at least two days, and don’t listen to the tour guide to brainwash you. Now Wutai Mountain is too commercialized.
3. Shanxi has convenient transportation and is very suitable for free travel. You don’t need to go with a group. There are bullet trains in various scenic spots. It is better to reserve two days for Datong and Pingyao Ancient City. Go to Pingyao Ancient City and go to Pingyao Station. Don’t sit in Pingyao Gucheng Station, the former is about 2 kilometers away from the ancient city, and the latter is far away. Hukou Waterfall is the most spectacular in Shanxi.
4. There is no need to take the battery car in the Yungang Grottoes in Datong and Pingyao Ancient City, because the distance is not too far, and it is completely possible to walk.
5. Food, lodging and transportation are farther away from the scenic spots, which are economical and affordable. The distance is not too far, but the gap is huge.
6. Rain gear, sunscreen, jacket, and sun hat are the four essential treasures for going out.
7. It is safe and cheap to take a taxi for travel, and it is safe and cheap to take a black car next to the scenic spot and kill you without discussing it.
8. There is really nothing to do in Taiyuan's Liuxiang and Wuyi Square.
9. The China Coal Museum can take the initiative to form a group with others to buy explanation tickets, and the conductor will not take the initiative to tell you.
10. The bus to Jinci is 5 yuan per person, but it can’t reach the gate of Jinci, and you still have to take a 5 yuan black car. It’s not worthwhile if there are too many people, and the ride is very affordable.
11. There are too many guides in Jinci Temple during the peak tourist season, and the place is small, so you can completely rub off on others, and they all talk about the same, so you don’t need to spend so much money.
12. Pingyao Ancient City and Jinci do not support Alipay and WeChat payment, only cash and credit card.
13. It is recommended to buy the tickets for Pingyao Ancient City on the spot, and it is only 1 yuan less online. It is not convenient to buy tickets online.
