It is one of the joint tickets of the scenic spots in Pingyao Ancient City, which is connected with the ticket numbers of Rishengchang and Weitaihou.

The houses in the ancient city of Pingyao are different from the courtyard houses in Beijing. I saw a lot of houses in the ancient city, and found that the houses in Pingyao are generally rectangular, long from north to south, and narrow from east to west. It is said that it is located on the Loess Plateau to prevent wind and sand from invading. In addition, the roof is single-sloped, and the high wall on one side has no windows, which is safe and resistant to wind, sand and cold air. On the other side, rainwater flows along and is connected by a large tank. The large water tank is standard in the house, called Menhai. The Pingyao Ancient Dwellings Expo is located in the former site of Weifenghou’s business on West Street in the ancient city. This is a large house of the Hou family, the richest man in Shanxi during the Guangxu era. In the center of the main door hangs a plaque of "Sun Ting Chun Yong", which was given to Mrs. Hou by a Sichuan official in the 26th year of Guangxu. It means that I hope that the house of my aunt will always be like spring, with flowers in full bloom and a happy spring. I wish her Stay young forever, stay young forever. The horse-tying post, horse-mounting stone, lion, and flagpole stone in the exhibition room reflect the wealth and strength of the owner at that time.

The brand of this scenic spot is actually called Weifenghou. I don’t know why Ctrip calls it Ancient Residential Expo Garden. This is also a bank, which belongs to the attractions in the package. In the ancient city of Pingyao, this ticket number is relatively small. Personally, I feel that I can just take a look at it, and it doesn't have much special features.
