1. The recommended accommodation place is outside Pingyao Ancient City and Jiexiu Railway Station. You can choose your own scenic spots according to your own needs.
Pingyao Ancient City: It is recommended to live outside the city. There is an inn in the city, and the conditions are much simpler. The express hotel outside the city is cheaper and healthier than the ancient city. The chain price of my stay is 88. It takes about 5 minutes to walk to the ancient city. It is also much more convenient to go to the Qiao Family Courtyard, Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple than in the city.
Jiexiu Railway Station: There is a bus stop next to it. One night, 75-90. Go to Wang Jia Courtyard, Mianshan Mountain and Hongya Canyon, and go downstairs by car.
Second, the scenic spot Pingyao ancient city: Pingyao ancient city may have high expectations. After entering, it actually feels very ordinary, and the business atmosphere is too heavy. Main Street is not much different from Nanluoguxiang and Jinli Kuanzhai Lane.
The most important thing is that there are too many free descendants, and the sense of body is very poor. There are 22 scenic spots in Pingyao ancient city free of charge, so there is no need to go to them all. The county government, Rishengchang, the first bank in China, and the vault of Xie Qingjia, the largest bank, are worth seeing.
Pingyao Confucian Temple has the number one scroll, but it is a copy. The original work is in the Confucian Temple in Qingzhou, Shandong Province, and there is an oolong wall next to it. Majia Courtyard is the largest courtyard in Pingyao, and you can also visit it.
Other banks, temples and escort agencies can have a selective look. I sent a video before. The most interesting thing in Pingyao is to see Pingyao again, which was taken by Zhang Yimou's apprentice and told a story about inheritance. The ticket was 238. I forgot to take it at that time, and the only thing I pushed was Pingyao Ancient City.

Qiao Family Courtyard: Take a bus from Pingyao Bus Station to Taiyuan and stop at Qiao Family Courtyard on the way. This is really famous. I'm the same age, even if I haven't seen TV dramas, I've heard most of them. The biggest attraction of the whole courtyard is the central hall, where the buildings are typical of Ming and Qing dynasties.
There is also a folk museum in the Qiao Family Courtyard, which records the history and some customs of the Qiao family. There are also three treasures in the town house, but I only saw the rhinoceros moon mirror and the Kowloon Lantern.

Zhenguo Temple: Take a taxi 25 from the ancient city and take the bus when you go back. There are few buses. In fact, it is suggested to go to the Wangs' Courtyard first and tell the bus driver to get off near Zhenguo Temple when returning to Pingyao. Rare things in the Five Dynasties. One of the oldest existing wooden structures in China, the main attraction is architecture. Like the shrine of Jinci, there are no nails, but wooden tenons and mortises. Some main halls don't even have columns, but are supported by beams. There are 14 Buddha statues in the temple, including five generations of Buddha statues 1 1.

Shuanglin Temple: There are through trains outside the ancient city, and there are about a dozen taxis. It's been so long, I forgot. It is much more interesting than Pingyao ancient city, and there are fewer key people. It looks like a small town outside the temple, and the walls can be climbed. There are more than 2000 colorful clay sculptures in the temple, which is known as the treasure house of oriental clay sculpture art.

Wang Family Courtyard: Jiexiu Bus Station takes bus to 5 yuan. The Wang Family Courtyard is called the first residential building in China. This is really like a city. Compared with the Qiao Family Courtyard, it is much more magnificent. Many Wangs started their careers in the late Qing Dynasty, so their styles are different from those of the Qiao Family Courtyard. But at present, many quadrangles are closed, so we just need to choose one from Qiao's courtyard.

Chibi Canyon: You can take a bus to Wang Jia Courtyard, and then take a taxi instead of driving. Didi sixteen seventeen, black car thirty. You have to buy traffic when you enter the scenic spot. The traffic is still divided into two sections, bus 35+ 15 or cable car 35+50. It is not recommended to climb by yourself. After entering the mountain, there was no signal throughout. The small bridge in Love Valley on the road is very artistic, and the horn saddle at the top of the mountain is the highest peak of Taiyue Mountain. It can only be said that the mountains and rivers are beautiful and picturesque, but the wind is a bit strong. Other feelings are average. I didn't know that goats still eat leaves until now.

Zhangbi Castle: There are buses at the bus station. But I don't understand why sometimes two dollars, sometimes three dollars. Tickets for scenic spots are 60. The commercial atmosphere of the whole scenic spot is not strong and there are few people. It feels better than Pingyao ancient city, and the ancient buildings should have been renovated. The tunnel is interesting, but all the passages are closed, leaving only one road, and it is easy to get lost in all directions. A pair of glass plaques at the entrance of Kongwang Temple is very rare.

Mianshan: There are five direct buses at Jiexiu Bus Station. My evaluation of Mianshan is really mixed. Admission 1 10+ transportation 50 (required). If it happens to rain, Mianshan really feels like a fairy, and the scenery is good. The so-called historical sites are basically fake except Zhengguo Temple.
The eight buddhas in Zhengguo Temple are worth seeing. It takes 15 to get up and down by elevator and 1 hour to climb the mountain from Yunfeng Temple, but it is very artistic. The rest is Shuitao Valley, which is worth visiting.
Rhoda Palace is known as the first Taoist temple in the world, big or small, with everything. If you are interested in Taoism, you can go to the 6th-7th floor.

Unfortunately, I didn't open the door to Yuci ancient city. I forgot to go to Changjia Manor and Caojia Courtyard. Changjia Manor is said to be the largest quadrangle in Shanxi. There are many scenic spots to visit in Jiexiu County, among which Houtu Temple is the largest Taoist temple group I have seen in Shanxi at present. Unfortunately, it won't open.

Third, the diet Pingyao beef: be sure to buy it outside the city. The locals eat shredded beef by themselves. Although it's not very delicious, it's much more delicious than beef slices in the city.

Pull rotten seeds: I ate potatoes and flour. I like it very much. Not expensive.

Wantuo, small knife face, great: Well, I suggest you try somewhere else. Basically, they are sold all over Shanxi.
Camellia oleifera: It seems that what I drank in the ancient city was not authentic, but it was very sweet. It is said that it should be salty, but I like it very much.
The price of Pingyao ancient city is generally high, and the key is that it is not delicious. You can try a set meal, around 40, with many kinds, and Pingyao specialties are basically available.

Finally, a shop in Amway, outside the north wall, is called 7 yuan Spicy Mix. The price is simply too conscience. Pull rotten seeds for 9 minutes, stir-fry spicy and stir-fry for 7 minutes. I am in Pingyao.
I have been eating at his house. Taigang soda is 2 yuan, which is actually better than the Arctic Ocean I have been drinking in Beijing for 7 years.
