It started Taiyuan, the birthplace of Shanxi Merchants culture, the ancient city of Pingyao, Qiao Family Courtyard, Wang Family Courtyard, Hukou Waterfall in Linfen, and Jinci Temple. travel.
First of all, let me tell you a good news. Tourist attractions in Shanxi Province will implement a code-scanning free ticket policy from Monday to Friday until December 31, 2020.
Thank you for your support. This travel note is still based on recording the public transportation of the tourist destination city, aiming to provide convenience for all free travel friends to travel, and to achieve affordable and happy free travel (you have read a lot of travel guides) , Most of them record history in the form of beautiful pictures, delicious food or long speeches, these cannot be said to be bad, but the specific public transportation methods to the scenic spots cannot be found in such travel notes). Believe that my travel notes, which focus on recording specific public transportation transfer methods and looking for high-quality and cheap hotels, will definitely help self-guided donkey friends travel.
During the epidemic, you need to generate a local health code when entering Shanxi Province. My health code (see the picture below) is very convenient to travel with me throughout Shanxi, provided you are in good health.
Friendly reminder: When traveling during the epidemic, please wear a mask all the way in public transportation
D1: July 26:
Take Spring Airlines flight 9C8733 from Shanghai, arrive at Terminal T2 of Taiyuan Wusu International Airport from 14:50 to 17:10, turn right after exiting the terminal, take No. 201 to Taiyuan Railway Station (about 50 minutes, 2 yuan), and stay overnight Xinjin Business Hotel near Taiyuan Railway Station has a big bed room (78 yuan Yilong reservation), No. 19 Jianshe South Road, the room is nearly 20 square meters, very clean, and the price is very high. If you want to book a price of 78 yuan a night, you must book in advance , When I return to Taiyuan, I will book another 90 for one night. The hotel is more than 10 minutes walk to Taiyuan Station, and there are many restaurants of various grades for dining around.
In the evening, go to Taiyuan Wuyi Square to play. Wuyi Square is located on Yingze Street. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the railway station. You can take bus No. 820, No. 615, and No. 10 to get there at 2 stops. The bus in Taiyuan is 1 yuan (cheap)
), walk back to the hotel along Yingze Street after visiting the square.
D2: July 27th:
Taiyuan—Qiao Family Courtyard—Pingyao Ancient City
After breakfast, take No. 830·861·611 Road 6 to Jiannan Bus Station, take the bus bound for Qi County at 8:30, and get off at the gate of the Qiao Family Courtyard Scenic Area, 23 yuan (about 1 hour and 30 minutes). After getting off the bus, someone will ask you to store your luggage for 5 yuan. Don’t worry, the Qiao Family Courtyard Visitor Center (on the right side) provides free luggage storage service, which is a very humane service. Then scan the code and get the QR code of the scenic spot to enter the compound for free.
Shanxi merchants have made an indelible contribution to Shanxi's economy in history. The rise of Shanxi merchants has brought about the emergence of many large private houses and deep courtyards built by wealthy businessmen in the barren land of Shanxi.
The intangible cultural heritage of the Qiao Family Courtyard, the movie "Raise the Red Lantern" in the 1990s made him famous initially, and the broadcast of the TV series "Qiao Family Courtyard" after 2000 made him famous both at home and abroad; Countless tourists visit this well-preserved building.
Looking at the architecture of the Qiao Family Courtyard, this is different from other Jinshang courtyards. However, this time, I feel that the building has obvious traces of repairs (appearance), and the overall structure still maintains the Shanxi Merchants Shenzhai courtyard in the Qing Dynasty. The original style, even the smoking room for tourists to smoke in the compound is also rich
, Do not believe you can personally experience.
Jing Siyuan: There are two such large-scale gardens in the courtyard, the Qiao Family Courtyard (not counting the courtyards). The gardens have both the majesty of the northern gardens and the beauty of the southern gardens, which can be seen from the owner's business career.
The visit time of the Qiao Family Courtyard is generally two hours. Of course, you need more time to understand the history of the compound and the research on the architecture.
At 12 o'clock, I stepped out of the compound, went to the visitor center to pick up my luggage, and took a car to the ancient city of Pingyao. I got off from Taiyuan and waited for the bus at the same place. Since there were very few buses during the epidemic, I waited here for half an hour, and a carpool driver picked me up, so I carpooled and went straight to the ancient city of Pingyao. (The bus from Qiao’s Courtyard to Pingyao Bus Station is 13 yuan. Carpooling is usually 30 yuan. I can get it done with 20 yuan. Maybe it’s because my kindness was discovered by others.
directly to the north gate of the ancient city). Carpooling is recommended.
Tip: After arriving in Taiyuan, you can also take the train directly to Pingyao (many travelers have arranged this way), the advantage is that you can stay in the ancient city for one more night; but if you live in the ancient city, you must go back and forth from the ancient city from Pingyao to Qiao’s compound , and the route I took was along Taiyuan all the way to the south, followed by Qiao Family Courtyard-Pingyao Ancient City-Lingshi County (Wang Family Courtyard)-Linfen-Ji County-Hukou Waterfall-Linfen- - Return to Taiyuan.
It takes 40 minutes to drive from the Qiao Family Courtyard to the ancient city of Pingyao. At 1:30 p.m., you are already at the north gate of the ancient city. Scan the code to make an appointment to enter the ancient city. Generate the following QR code to enter the ancient city. Please save the screenshot and use the QR code to enter the ancient city Visit various attractions.
If you stay in a B&B inn in the ancient city of Pingyao, you can call the boss to pick you up and go to the inn. Of course, not every hotel will pick you up. Here I would like to praise the simple and honest Shanxi people. Since I arrived at Taiyuan Airport, the Shanxi people I met along the way are very hospitable and hospitable. Lovers, they are from Xinzhou, Shanxi. They told me along the way how enthusiastic Pingyao people are, and told me to call the boss to pick me up in the ancient city. As expected, the boss came to the north gate to pick me up to the inn after a phone call. I booked the Yuhengfeng Inn located on Chenghuangmiao Street in the center of the ancient city, 75 yuan per night for a double bed room with two breakfasts (where to book), I wasted a breakfast when I was traveling alone
(At the end of the travel note, I will tell you how to book a cheap and comfortable hotel with high cost performance). B&Bs in Pingyao are generally in the form of a store in the front and a hotel in the back, so you can also solve the problem of eating in the inn after you check in. The prices in tourist areas are similar. I ate out for a meal by myself, and the truth is the same. Yuhengfeng Inn arranged for me a big bed room on the second floor. I feel that the room on the first floor is slightly better than the room on the second floor. After checking in, in order to thank the boss for his kindness, I had lunch at the inn, which cost 39 yuan a meal. Because I wanted to eat rice, the boss prepared it for me, and I was quite satisfied.
This is the courtyard dining table of Yuhengfeng Inn. It’s very tasty, right?
After lunch, I selectively visited the sights of Pingyao Ancient City. Due to my work, I brought a group to the ancient city before, so I only stayed for one night and went to see the attractions I like. (It is recommended to stay one more night when you first arrive in Pingyao Ancient City).
Personally, I feel that Xieqing's underground bank, procuratorate, Confucian Temple Academy, county government office (the original court performance, the performance was suspended during the epidemic), Tingyu Tower, South Gate Tower and Wall, and ancient houses in Pingyao can still be visited. Visit 22 scenic spots with tickets, some of which are similar (personal feeling).
Tingyu Building; South Gate Tower and City Wall
Climb to the Tingyu Tower and the South Gate Tower to get a panoramic view of the ancient city of Pingyao
Knock lost in the morning, hit yellow beams in the evening; these eight words in the county government are particularly touching. Compared with today's chicken soup for the soul, they are always alert to people
At the junction of South Street and West Street, the name of the restaurant "Family Love Lushi" attracted me. After entering, I felt that my appetite was still there. I settled here at night. The consumption here is 98 yuan for two people, 10% discount
As night falls and the lights come on, the ancient city has a different style; in the bars in the ancient city at night, listening to songs, you can experience the slow-paced life in the ancient city. The bars in Pingyao ancient city do not have a minimum consumption. Song, you can leave without ordering drinks, this is the characteristic of Pingyao.
In the ancient city in the morning, tourists are sparse
People in Pingyao say that the older and older things are, the better they are. The two characters old and old fully reflect its value in the ancient city of Pingyao.
Day D3: July 28: Pingyao--Lingshi County--Linfen City
Get up in the morning and walk on the streets of the ancient city. There are few tourists and the air is fresh. After the morning, walk to Pingyao Railway Station (Pingyao Station is located at the west gate of the ancient city, walk for about 20 minutes, and the high-speed rail station of Pingyao Ancient City Station needs to take 108 at the South Gate Bus Station I personally feel that Pingyao Station is more convenient)
Take K865 at 9:12 and drive in Pingyao, arrive at Lingshi Railway Station at 10:06, 11 yuan in 54 minutes, walk out of Lingshi Railway Station and walk downhill to the right to the bus station, take bus No. 7 to Wangjiayuan Station Get off the bus (about 40 minutes, 2 yuan), and walk more than 600 meters after getting off the bus to the Wang Family Courtyard Scenic Area; specific direction: Get off the bus and walk backwards to Jingsheng Center Road, turn right and go straight. (Reminder: The Wang Family Courtyard Visitor Center also provides free luggage storage service, but it takes a long distance to walk from the entrance of the scenic spot to the visitor center and there are steps up and down. If the luggage is heavy and heavy, it is recommended to store it in the small store at the entrance. is charged).
Scan the QR code at the entrance of the scenic spot to make an appointment for admission
Two QR codes, the first one is to enter the Wang Family Courtyard, the second is to visit the Wang Family Manor (there is a battery car at the entrance of the Wang Family Courtyard for free after visiting the Wang Family Courtyard), there is enough time to take a look, I went, personal feeling No regrets not going.
The Wang Family Courtyard is located in Jingsheng Town, Lingshi County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province. The Wang family originated from Taiyuan and moved to Jingsheng in the Yuan Dynasty. It has been handed down for nearly 700 years from the ancestor Wang Shi to the present, and has been handed down to 26 generations. In business, Wang Xingwang, the thirteenth generation after the Qing Dynasty, gradually prospered. The existing Wang Family Courtyard covers a total area of 250,000 square meters, including a street of five lanes and six castles. It is known as the first house in China. Stone carvings, wood carvings, and brick carvings are ubiquitous in the Wang Family Courtyard.
The sculptures in the Wang Family Courtyard are worthy of the name.
To visit the Wang Family Courtyard, you can rent an electronic interpreter (20 yuan) at the visitor center, and follow the instructions of the interpreter to basically complete the tour. The tour time is about 2-3 hours.
Return to the bus station by the original road, take No. 7 bus to Lingshi Railway Station, K7807, leave Lingshi at 15:11, and arrive at Linfen Station at 16:53 (16.5 yuan).
Linfen booked the Mingyi Wisdom Hotel Pingyang Plaza Branch on Pingyang North Street (85 yuan Ctrip booking), the room provided by the hotel did not match what I booked, the 30-square-meter double bed room gave me a 18-square-meter room, to be honest This hotel was the most uncomfortable to stay in during this itinerary. I contacted Ctrip by phone. Ctrip agreed to change the room after communicating with the hotel, but after I checked in, I felt that the room did not match. I went to the front desk to ask for a room change. The receptionist said that the hotel room was full. There are only room 215 (for me) and room 319. After looking at room 319, it is not as good as room 215. If Ctrip finds a hotel, there will be a room? (Of course, this is not Ctrip's problem, it's the hotel's deliberate behavior.) When it was 7:30 in the evening, I washed my clothes. A customer service member from the hotel knocked on my door and said that he didn’t say anything before, but he just agreed to change the room for me. I reminded him that I didn’t want to change the clothes I had washed so much. The customer service seemed very enthusiastic and said that he was looking for someone to help me. Moving things, would you let strangers touch your things at will during the epidemic? Why can't I be given a room that matches the one I booked when I started picking up the room? I advise everyone not to book this "Mingyi Wisdom Hotel (Linfen Pingyang Plaza)" when you come to Linfen, and change decisively the next day.
Although the hotel made me a little unhappy, I want to be happy when I go out on a trip, so I despise the hotel's behavior. I went out happily at night and found a Shanxi hand-rolled noodle for dinner. It's just a little sad that there is no rice. I really want to eat it rice
.
After dinner, walk to Pingyang Square for a few minutes (the Meitian hotel booked the next day is closer to Pingyang Square), Pingyang Square is almost the center of Linfen, and you can walk to Linfen Commercial Center in less than 10 minutes. The square at night is so lively that it can be described as a sea of people, but people in Linfen almost don’t wear masks. I don’t agree with this point (but you can’t take a bus without wearing a mask). Linfen bus drivers have standardized services. After the car, the driver will wave to say hello, very warm. There are karaoke booths in the square, one song for 5 yuan, two songs for 8 yuan, and three songs for 10 yuan. There are several such karaoke booths; the most are dancing, the difference is that Linfen Square Dance, Dancers are not all aunts. There are even young guys joining in.
Day D4: July 29: Linfen - Jixian County - Hukou Waterfall - return to Linfen
After getting up, move your luggage to Meiyitian Fashion Hotel, take No. 3 or No. 11 to Yaomiao Bus Station for about 40 minutes (you can also take it at Linfen Railway Station), and get on the bus bound for Ji County at 8:30 (33 yuan About 2 hours by car), and arrived at Jixian Station at 10:20. There are very few cars going to Hukou Waterfall in Jixian County. The best option is to carpool. After getting off the bus, you can see the driver is waiting for passengers. When he learned that I was alone, the driver asked me to wait. He took the initiative to contact the bus The bus driver, the bus driver told him that there were two guests on the bus going to Hukou and arriving in Jixian County in half an hour, so I counted the carpool as a success, and each person paid 50 yuan for a round trip to Hukou, Jixian County. The driver said that there were very few people during this time (due to the epidemic), and if no one carpooled, I could only charter a car to Hukou. I was lucky. The two guests arrived at 11 o'clock, we went straight to Hukou along the national road, and arrived at the Hukou Waterfall Scenic Spot in 40 minutes.
Scan the code and make an appointment to enter the scenic spot
It is a long distance from the entrance of the scenic spot to the waterfall, and it is 20 yuan to take a sightseeing car in the scenic spot (it is recommended to buy a ride, round trip)
Hukou Waterfall, Huangguoshu Waterfall (Anshun City), Diaoshuilou Waterfall (Mudanjiang City) and Dalongqiu Waterfall in Yandang Mountain in Wenzhou, Zhejiang are also known as the four famous waterfalls in my country.
Hukou Waterfall is famous for the rushing momentum of the Yellow River. Shanxi and Shaanxi Provinces on both sides of the Yellow River can watch it. Calling, the Yellow River is roaring" song, watching the water in front of the yellow water continue to rush, just like a real "Yellow River chorus" of nature.
Waterfall tour time 1 hour and a half, up to two hours
The return journey still takes the national highway, and it will arrive at Jixian Station before 3 p.m., and the bus will leave for Linfen at 15:35, and the return bus is 30 yuan (the last bus is at 18:00)
Go back to Yaomiao Bus Station and take No. 3 and No. 11 back to Linfen City
I stayed at the "Meiyitian Fashion Hotel" today. It is also on Pingyang North Street. The hotel is a 3-minute walk to Pingyang Square. The double room is 79 yuan a night (where to book it). The hotel is very cost-effective, and the boss even helped me upgrade it for free In the room, the only downside is that there is no hair dryer. If the computer in the room can be replaced with a hair dryer, it will be the icing on the cake. Few people have free time to play with the computer when traveling.
If you don’t live in Linfen and rush back to Taiyuan on the same day, the K610 from Linfen to Taiyuan leaves at 17:21 and arrives at Taiyuan at 22:00 (there are more high-speed trains, from Linfen West to Taiyuan South Station)
Day D5: July 30: Linfen - Taiyuan
The train at 10 o'clock in the morning took an hour to the famous Drum Tower in Linfen
The Drum Tower is a landmark building in Linfen. There are four towers in the southeast, northwest, and majestic momentum. It takes only 20 minutes to walk from Pingyang Square to the Drum Tower. Take the bus No. 7 or 3 and get off at the Drum Tower.
This is a stone sculpture near the Drum Tower, which records the history of Linfen City
K7808 leaves Linfen at 10:22 and arrives at Taiyuan Station at 14:35 (41:5 yuan)
Taiyuan still lives in Xinjin Business Hotel, No. 19 Jianshe South Road (90 yuan a night, it is a bit expensive because the reservation is late)
Stroll around Yingze Park in the evening (free of charge). The park is a large leisure park in Taiyuan City. The scenery of Yingze Lake is beautiful, and Yingze Park is full of brilliance at night, which makes people linger.
Yingze Park is located on Jiefang Road, the middle section of Yingze Avenue in the city center. It takes more than 10 minutes to walk from here to Liuxiang Commercial Center, and you can also walk to Wuyi Square. The train station takes bus No. 1, No. 611, No. 859 and other buses for 4 stops , get off at the Great South Gate
Day D6: July 31: Taiyuan: Jinci Temple
Jinci Temple is located in Xuanweng Mountain, 25 kilometers southwest of Taiyuan City. Take bus No. 856, 308, or 804 at the railway station and get off at Jinci Park Station, which is opposite. About 1.5 hours by car (2.5 yuan)
Scan the QR code to make an appointment to enter the park to visit Jinci Temple
Jinci Temple is the earliest surviving classical royal ancestral garden complex for sacrificial ancestry in China. It is a comprehensive carrier of the history and culture of the Three Jin Dynasties. Xielin stands among the mountains and rivers, and the exact age of its construction cannot be verified, but the original objects since its construction are preserved in the temple, which is amazing.
Gongshuzi Temple: The sacrificial temple of craftsman Lu Ban during the Spring and Autumn Period
Authentic wooden dragon ornaments
Jinci visit time depends entirely on personal preferences. For a lower Liba person like me, it takes 2 hours. If you are a Yangchun Baixue who has studied history, you must take a good look and savor the origin of Jin culture and history.
Special reminder: After visiting the Jinci Temple, return to the entrance of the Jinci Temple on the same road. Don't see the "exit" sign in the temple. Follow the direction indicated by the sign. It is about 3 kilometers from the Jinci Temple to the exit. After walking about 3 kilometers, you will find that you have returned to the entrance to the Jinci Temple, and you will not go the wrong way if you return the same way. (I was forced to go the wrong way)
Leave Jinci Temple and take the bus back to Taiyuan City, and continue to stay at Xinjin Business Hotel
Day D7: August 1: Wandering in Liuxiang, return to Shanghai
Liuxiang, the commercial center of Taiyuan, is located on Liuxiang South Road, very close to Yingze Park
The plane at 6 o'clock in the evening, I went to Liuxiang when I had nothing to do. When I was wandering, I saw the Metersbonwe store in Taiyuan, so I went in to have a look. I didn't plan to buy anything, but here is 99 yuan for 5 pieces of T I was moved by the T-shirts. After a long time, I only picked out 3 pieces. The kind salesperson took the initiative to ask if he would like to make 5 pieces with others. Of course he would. Are the people of Shanxi very hospitable and hospitable?
, 60 yuan bought three pieces.
Wenying Park: If you are tired from shopping in Liuxiang, Wenying Park next to Liuxiang is a good place to rest. The park is free
In addition to leisure in the park, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and Peng Zhen Memorial Hall are free to visit. The planetarium, Zhuangyuan Bridge, stone carvings, and Wenying Grand Stage in the park will give you unexpected gains.
