D1 10.2 Shanghai to Taiyuan, accommodation: Taiyuan
Shanxi Hotel
The hotel has received many leaders, and the standard room of 298 is really worth it.
The appearance is too grand, and it feels small when standing under the door.
The screen in the lobby is a huge picture of Hukou Waterfall.
Although the internal facilities are not so new, but everything is meticulous, there is turndown service, fruit, yogurt, drinks, mineral water, masks, wipes for cleaning glasses, alcohol wipes and so on.
There are coffee, milk tea machine and small refreshments in the lobby.
D2 10.3 Taiyuan tour, visit Shanxi Museum, food street, Taiyuan to Datong at night, accommodation: Datong
Hao Gang Haggis
Municipal intangible cultural heritage, there are many people in the morning, and you have to queue up, but the speed is not bad, so it takes about 20 minutes to queue.
Haggis soup, 20, the price is relatively small in Shanxi, the soup is quite fresh, and the haggis is also okay, but there is no need to wait in a long line, and the taste is not amazing.
I also ordered cannabis flowers and shortbread, and the taste was not impressive.
Shanxi Museum
Free tour by appointment.
The museum is quite big, but several museums are under renovation and not open.
The treasure of the town hall is the bird statue.
There are also some bronzes worth watching that have been placed in the Bronze Museum.
food street
I made an appointment when I saw that there was an appointment channel, but in fact there was no door at all.
It is a food street, and Liuxiang is also nearby.
Yang Kee Enema
Tourists must punch in the local food.
Enema is a kind of elastic noodles made of buckwheat noodles, off-white, and the sauce is a bit thick. It is strongly recommended to add vinegar, and the taste will break through, but I don't like this thing very much.
Yellow rice skin, I personally think it is better than enema.
The pot helmet is very fragrant and crispy, this one is the best.
Hongxiang Cannabis
A very popular shop on this street, there is a queue.
The price is very cute, two or three yuan for a big one.
After I got it, I overturned my understanding of twist. It turned out to be soft. In fact, it was bread fried in oil, which was really the same as bread.
I chose honey flavor and sesame flavor. The sesame flavor is more fragrant and delicious.
Snow Mountain Cold Drink Shop
This cold drink shop is opened together with the restaurant.
The reason why I favor this store is that the ice cream tastes very special. I tried all the flavors of aged vinegar, sea buckthorn, fermented glutinous rice, and rock sugar chrysanthemum, and they all tasted good. The smell of aged vinegar started out of curiosity, but it's not just a gimmick, it's really delicious. I also love the glutinous glutinous rice flavor.
Qu Lihong
The first batch of Taiyuan with a big door, so confident.
Instant-boiled beef tripe and bean curd, in fact, the famous beef tripe, but was convinced by the bean curd. There is sesame paste in the bean skin, so it looks very fragrant.
non bitter coffee
The coffee shop at the corner is not big, it has the temperament of an Internet celebrity, and there are not many people when I go there.
There are many figures in the store, as well as manga manuscripts, and even the coasters are very distinctive.
Dirty, the taste is very good, I told you to drink it as soon as possible, and take the first sip.
A shop that takes coffee seriously.
Wenying Park
It's right next to the Shanxi Hotel. The weather is good for a walk. There are bridges, water, flowers and trees. Everyone exercises there early.
train to datong
It is said that the first time I arrived in Datong, I felt cold, and secondly, the air was good. I walked out of the smog in Taiyuan and saw the clear sky. Later, I will gradually discover that every Datong people is full of praise for the development in recent years. Furthermore, the food in Datong is the best in the past few days.
Courtyard of Datong House Inn
The location is very good, next to the Confucian Temple, there is a chrysanthemum exhibition when I go there. It is also very close to the city wall.
The quaint courtyard house sleeps on a kang, and it's quite cold under two quilts, and the air conditioner doesn't work at all.
The uncle at the front desk is quite polite.
The biggest problem is the bathroom, the electric water heater, the hot water can't keep up, and I dare not wash my hair at all.
D3 10.4 Datong tour, visit Yungang Grottoes, Xuankong Temple, Datong Earth Forest, lodging: Datong
Longjuxiang Shaomai Restaurant
The fireworks in the morning and the warm current in winter require a short queue, but it's worth it.
The siu mai is well made, the skin is so thin that you can see the stuffing, not only looks good, but also has a tough taste, I ordered mutton stuffing and mushroom stuffing, personally I prefer mushroom stuffing.
The yellow buns are quite soft and look like they are drooling, but the taste is actually very good.
Millet cake, cool and sticky.
Haggis vermicelli soup, full of delicious ingredients.
All in all delicious.
Yungang Grottoes
One of the four major grottoes in China, the ticket is 120 yuan.
It is very worth seeing, especially the fifth, ninth and tenth caves, which are quite delicate and shocking.
The autumn colors on the exit road are also beautiful.
Hanging Temple
Make an appointment to buy tickets. Tickets are divided into large tickets for 15 yuan and boarding tickets for 100 yuan.
The management of the scenic spot is really bad. The taxis are not even allowed to enter the parking lot. They can only park in a very far place. The key is that Jingjiao cars can't keep up. There are no cars all the time. Once there is one, the doors can't be closed. It's very difficult to stand on one foot. Isn't that dangerous? As a result, I waited too long to go down the mountain, so I walked down, and walked for a long time, and I was really angry.
Go in and take a quick look, but the queue is too long if you log in, and you say you will have to queue for at least an hour and a half, so you give up.
The whole temple is made of wood and built on a cliff, which is very magical. The word "spectacular" on the rock under the temple is the calligraphy of Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.
Datong soil forest
Tickets for private attractions are 40 yuan.
I rushed in to watch the sunset. I felt very awkward when I first entered. It looks better when I walked in. The scenic spot is not big, so it is suitable for taking pictures. The photos are better than the scene. At sunset, the color of the soil and forest gradually turns red, and it is really beautiful with the reeds by the river.
Fenglin Pavilion (Parkson Store)
I arrived after 7:00 in the evening and waited for more than an hour to get a seat, but it was worth it. All the dishes tasted very good, and I highly recommend it.
The oily meat is very tender and very delicious.
Hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, the color is beautiful, it really looks like a flower, the skin of the siu mai is as thin as a petal, there are 9 pieces in a cage, each tastes different.
Hunyuan jelly, watery, with fried watercress, fennel, and shredded cucumber, the jelly is soft and slippery.
Sweet and sour meatballs, sour and sweet, sweet and fresh, the taste of the meatballs is amazing.
Healthy gourd shreds, refreshing.
Freshly squeezed sea buckthorn juice, sweet and sour, a little thick.
Walking back to digest food by the way, it happened to be the musical fountain at the gate of the city.
D4 10.5 Datong Tour, visit Huayan Temple, Datong Ancient City Wall, Datong to Pingyao in the evening, accommodation: Pingyao
Xiaoliang Noodle House
It was recommended by the driver. Most of the shops are locals and there are also tourists. Maybe it was also recommended by the driver.
Sliced noodles are a specialty of Datong, so you must try them. The taste is worse than expected. The soup is stewed broth with some small meat in it, which is greasy. The grilled meat strips are very flavorful and there is no air in the meat. Dried tofu is very interesting, sold in very thin strips. Meatballs are meatballs. And fried tofu.
Huayan Temple
Tickets are 50 yuan, and the suggested tour time is 3 hours.
It is an earlier and more complete preserved temple complex in Liao and Jin Dynasties in China.
The hawthorn tree inside turned red, and everyone gathered around to take pictures.
The Huayan Pagoda can be climbed up to see the panorama. Before entering, wear shoe covers. Only 50 people can enter. First, go down to see the relics. It is really magnificent. The stairs throughout the pagoda are metal, high and slippery.
The Daxiong Palace is also quite imposing.
There is a large leisure shopping plaza at the exit, which sells various specialties, and the building is also very beautiful.
Datong Ancient City Wall
Make an appointment online and visit for free.
Just take a walk around.
Pure Yang Palace
Free visit, Taoism. It's near the restaurant, so you can take a turn while waiting for a seat.
The incense is very strong, and the backyard is very beautiful.
Purple mud 369 coarse grain season
Many restaurants in Shanxi are closed from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm, so I chose this one after excluding the first choice.
The rabbit head is a special feature, very tasty and delicious.
Cold day lily, crisp.
Burn the eggplant and pound the oat noodles, the crispy eggplant just hangs on the oat noodles and looks thick.
The ancient sweet and sour pork tenderloin is very tender and the sweet and sour seasoning is good.
The boss assorted pot is a family portrait, warming the stomach in winter, and the special thing is that it contains tribute vegetables and pumpkins, which are usually not put in family portraits.
The yogurt is a big can, quite thick, and I ate it all.
The black bean nest, the sand date steamed bread, the taste is a bit dry.
Datong South Railway Station
This train station is very new and big. It is said that the train from Datong to Pingyao is really a spike, it is too difficult to buy.
Pingyao Ancient Opera House
Pingyao changed three residences in three days, and only found out after comparison.
There is a train station pick-up service.
The hotel where Cixi and Guangxu stayed was as big as a scenic spot.
As soon as you enter the room, there is a faint fragrance, the furnishings are antique, and there is a pair of embroidered tiger pillows with local characteristics.
The bathroom is clean and tidy, and the bath water is very comfortable.
The breakfast buffet is average.
I arrived late yesterday. After breakfast, I wanted to take a serious look at this hotel. The yard is very beautiful. I accidentally walked into the Confucian Temple through the side door.
You can listen to plays while eating.
D5 10.6 Travel to Pingyao, visit Shuanglin Temple, Pingyao Ancient City, accommodation: Pingyao
Shuanglin Temple
Outside the ancient city, very close to the high-speed rail station.
Tickets are 50 yuan, and the suggested tour time is 2 hours.
Although the temple is not big, it is very visible.
The wooden and clay sculptures are very exquisite, especially the Thousand Buddha Hall. More than 500 Buddha statues are in different shapes, vivid and well preserved.
The Hand-holding Avalokitesvara statue in the Bodhisattva Hall directly opposite the Thousand Buddha Hall is also very impressive.
Tianyuankui Hotel
A century-old store, the big brother in the ancient city.
The restaurant is very big and full of seats, but the waiting time is extremely fast, say three to five minutes.
Red lanterns hang high in the store, which is antique and prosperous.
Pingyao beef is said to be a special feature of Pingyao beef. In fact, there is nothing special about it. A long time ago, a person misused salt water to cook beef, and it was more delicious than usual, so he became famous.
Changlong eggplant looks like dried orchid tofu and tastes like mandarin fish with pine nuts, but it is eggplant.
The beef tendon and meat are 栲栳栳, which is the oat noodle nest, and the taste is not bad.
Eggs with balsamic vinegar, I didn't expect ordinary scrambled eggs to be so vinegary.
Pingyao bowl holder, something like Liangpi.
Crispy sesame lamb, lamb wrapped in bread crumbs, fried, not bad.
Another can of craft Pingyao beer, the cans are still specially made.
Pingyao Ancient City
Tickets are 120 yuan, no tickets are accepted at the gate of the ancient city, and small attractions can be entered by swiping the QR code of the ticket. It is very not recommended to buy tickets. Although you can visit many small attractions, they are not very good. Even if there are a few that you want to see, you can buy tickets for small attractions alone. That being said, I believe everyone will still buy big tickets. , After all, it's all here.
There are several key small attractions in the ancient city, such as Rishengchang Bank, Xiexiqing Qianzhuang Museum, China Escort Museum, Ancient County Government Office, South Gate City Wall, City Building, Confucian Temple, and Chenghuang Temple. It can be imagined that the bank's underground treasury was very powerful back then. The ancient county government has performances at nine o'clock in the morning and three o'clock in the afternoon, but not every day.
See also Pingyao's performance is said to be worth watching.
If you want to buy vinegar, in fact, every one is the same, from the same vinegar factory, there is no self-brewing, and food safety does not allow it.
The ancient city of Pingyao is not as lively and bourgeois as other ancient cities, there are not many coffee shops, and there is no star father, but there is a Luckin, there are not many bars at night, and the level of resident singing is not good.
Qingyiquan Mooncake
It is worthy of the name of a century-old brand, which began in the second year of Tongzhi. Each of them is handmade, and the production process can be seen through the glass window.
I usually don’t like to eat this kind of thing, but this mooncake is really delicious, especially when it’s freshly baked, it’s warm, not very sweet, not oily, and the brown sugar five-nut filling is very fragrant. The store only makes one flavor, 3 yuan a piece, 10 yuan 4 pieces, a few can be retailed on site, if there are more, you have to make an order, and it will take a few days to make it.
Pingyao sells a lot of moon cakes, so you must look for this store.
One vinegar side
After eating noodles a few times, I feel that the noodles in Shanxi are not as delicious as those in the Northwest, not as strong as the noodles in the Northwest, and not as tasty as the noodles in Henan, which is just in between.
The noodles here are served with a cup of vinegar, and it tastes much better than before.
The tomato and green beans noodles are sour and appetizing.
The small vinegar meat is rotten and not tasty.
Pepper-flavored steamed tofu is just white-cut tofu.
Yijintang Bolian Inn
The inn is not big and looks very Zen.
When checking in, the front desk will give a general introduction to the gameplay of Pingyao Ancient City.
The room looks good, and the Kang is also very big. But living is still a bit of a problem.
There is no mineral water in the room.
The main problem is the bathroom. For example, the shower is too open, and it is impossible to take a good bath. The splash is full of water, and the water temperature is too low and a bit cold.
The front desk is always empty.
The breakfast time was not on time, and it was not delicious, and the porridge was boiled into rice soup. The side dishes are fermented bean curd, kimchi, and mung bean sprouts. Another egg is gone.
The overall feeling is too homestay, not thoughtful, and there is no systematic service system.
D6 10.7 Travel to Pingyao, visit Qiao Family Courtyard, accommodation: Pingyao
Qiao Family Courtyard
It's quite far away. Fortunately, I met a good driver, an aborigine in the ancient city. After sending us there, he said that he would pick us up again, and he really waited for a few hours.
It has been four hours since I walked around all over the place. If you are in a hurry, you can skip Baoyuantang and Shourentang, there is no substantive content in it.
The 10 yuan a can of old yogurt in the back garden is very honest, and it is also labeled with the Qiao Family Courtyard. It is highly recommended.
Promotion furnace restaurant
It is suitable for tourists to eat. All the specialties of Pingyao are presented in a set meal in the form of mini portions, so that you can taste more varieties. Two of the drinks are delicious, Grandma Gu and Jinsheng Camellia. This Camellia oleifera is brewed with raisins after frying five grains and nuts. It is nutritious and very fragrant.
Pingyao charcoal copper hot pot has a lot of ingredients, why can’t you choose a small portion, the taste is still good.
Crispy eggplant, oily and shiny, the skin is crispy.
Yogurt shop
The boss is very young, he started his own business after graduation, and this yogurt shop has persisted for many years.
Pay attention to the innovation of taste and the deployment of taste.
There are vinegar, seabuckthorn, rose, red bean, and fried yogurt, all made by the boss himself, and they all taste good.
The layout of the store is also very careful.
Sheraton Inn
The location of this inn is a bit off, and the road is still under construction at the entrance. Basically, people and cars are not able to walk, but fortunately, the boss is enthusiastic, and picks up and drops off, especially the next morning, driving a car to drop off let's go out.
The inn is very festively decorated. I booked a suite for more than 200 yuan, with two big kangs and two bathrooms, and it was also during the National Day, which is simply too good value.
The bath water is not heated by electricity, so you can take a bath as much as you want.
The inns in Pingyao basically use vinegar as a gift for the guests, so they took a lot of vinegar after staying for three days.
D7 10.8 From Pingyao to Taiyuan, visit the Wang Family Courtyard, Hukou Waterfall, accommodation: Taiyuan
Wang Family Courtyard
I booked a one-day tour group. The biggest advantage of this group is that it enters Pingyao and exits Taiyuan, so that you can reach your destination while playing.
The Wang Family Courtyard is much larger than the Qiao Family Courtyard, but everyone in the group knows that it is important to look at it, even if it is the key point, it takes more than an hour to look at it.
Standing on the city wall, you can see the panoramic view of the Wang family compound, which has become the focus of the focus.
Hukou Waterfall
This year's flood season was too flooded, and the scenic spot was closed for a long time. Fortunately, it just opened when I went. The group in the early days of the National Day also skipped this attraction because of the traffic jam for too long. Our traffic was surprisingly smooth that day.
It's really beautiful, majestic, and very shocking, and I can't help but hum the Yellow River chorus.
What you must not miss is the Jixian apples exported from the scenic spot, which cost 5 yuan a catty. They are tender, crispy and sweet. They are really delicious and amazing.
Bingzhou Dai Pai Dong
It feels a bit like a Nanjing food stall.
Rock noodles, shaken in a jar and poured out, there are many beans with bean sprouts.
The shovel soft tofu, the gimmick is that it is placed on the shovel, and the taste is not bad.
Laotai original crispy chicken, crispy shell type, the chicken is very tender.
Steamed yellow rice with jujube, the local millet is amazingly yellow, and it is fragrant and glutinous after steaming casually.
Braised boneless hairtail with potato chips, tomato sauce, sweet and sour, very delicious.
Taiyuan Lisi mahjong, a set of mahjong tiles, whether it looks good or not.
Taigang soda is almost Mirinda.
D8 10.9 Taiyuan tour, visit Jinci Museum, accommodation: Taiyuan
Qing Heyuan
The oldest halal restaurant in China has a lot of local people, and they eat with gusto.
The mutton shumai has a strong smell of mutton.
Sesame paste cake, the taste is very dry, not tasty.
Haggis soup, not much ingredients, taste is not good.
Mind, this is the highlight. One of the local breakfast features is said to be very nutritious. There are lamb, yam, lotus root slices, and a relatively strong smell of alcohol. The taste is so magical that you can't get used to it.
Liuweizhai (Liuxiang)
Breakfast is the second party, a time-honored brand in Qianlong's three years, the sauce beef is delicious, with a taste of medicinal food, don't order anything else, other things are cheaper than early.
Jinci Museum
Since the National Day and weekends cannot enjoy the discount of free tickets for Shanxi scenic spots, I finally enjoyed it today, saving 70 yuan in ticket fees.
It is recommended to visit for half a day.
Jinci has the following key points:
Three Treasures: Dedicated Hall, Uonuma Flying Beam, Notre Dame Hall
Three Wonders: Zhou Bai, Nanlaoquan, Song Dynasty Maid Statue
Three plaques: Difficult to be old, Conversation with Yue, Water mirror platform
The Secret in the Belly King Jar (Causeway Bay Branch)
I came back a bit late, after noon, many shops were closed, but this one was open, and we were the only ones at the table.
The environment is very clean and the service is very good. They will bring a box of hair ties for girls with long hair to choose.
Groupon packages are a bargain.
Houma tofu skewers, dried orchid tofu with mashed garlic.
The beef tripe in old soup is delicious.
Eggs are added to the golden steamed bun slices.
Combination of rhizomes, the taste of dark cuisine, rich flavor with rice.
Even white rice is pretty good too.
Castle Peak Coffee
Opened in an alley, the white and exposed wind, jokingly said, the house is quite stylish without decoration. Two floors, and a patio-like terrace.
There are too many mosquitoes, I don't know why.
Salty, which looks like cocoa, is actually dirty made from oat milk.
Dirty, it looks good and tastes good, but I prefer salty.
Chestnut cake, handmade, with good ingredients and good taste.
Xinghuatang (Mixc Store)
It is opened in Vientiane City, which is quite high-end.
The decoration is quite nice, but the taste of the bar dishes is like that made by Jiangnan masters, sweet.
It is also the most cost-effective after eating for a few days.
Signature Shunfeng Cold Noodle Chicken, isn't this a cold dish in Sichuan cuisine?
Shrimp fried jelly in Yuncheng, what is the difference between this and Shanghai's braised sesame tofu.
The vinegar beef is very old and tastes very average.
The sweet and sour meatballs are small, not as delicious as Fenglinge.
Scallion oil paper bamboo shoots, isn't this Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine?
This store is not recommended.
D9 10.10 Taiyuan to Shanghai
Looking forward to the next journey!
