1. Tourism Status and Development Proposal of Pingyao Ancient City

Pingyao Ancient City may be one of the most popular tourist destinations in Shanxi Province, but with the improvement of commercialization, tourists have different opinions on Pingyao. Pony has been to Pingyao twice to share tips and tricks about Pingyao.

Most people go to Pingyao by taking the regular scenic spots in the tour package. The travel strategy recommended by Xiaoma today mainly involves the ethnic scenic spots in Pingyao, covering accommodation, transportation, food and play. Let you experience a unique Pingyao trip.

first of all, let s talk about why Pony recommended small scenic spots to everyone.

1. This route is cheaper, so you can visit the ancient city of Pingyao with less money and experience the simplicity of Pingyao in another way.

2. This route has to take the tedious 22 package attractions, and instead recommend some ultra-niche tourist attractions, not only the courtyard with Pingyao characteristics, but also the ancient temple with the largest private collection of Ming and Qing colored sculptures in China.

3. You can also taste many Pingyao cuisines on this route, so that you can experience the most distinctive Shanxi flavor at one time.

let's start with a map of Pingyao. American minority tourist attractions (excluding regular package attractions).

The ancient city mainly includes Pingyao North Gate, Pingyao South Gate, old houses in Hebei and wedding flag Zhai courtyard.

There are mainly Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple in the suburbs.

Second, Pingyao Tourism-Tourism

How to get to Pingyao:

There is no airport in Pingyao, but fortunately there are two railway stations, Pingyao Station and Pingyao Ancient City Station, so the train is the best choice.

if you are a friend from the south, you can choose to fly to Taiyuan first, and then transfer to a train or take a bullet train to Pingyao.

The specific route is as follows: (Take Shanghai as an example)

If flying from Shanghai to Taiyuan is not the tourist season, the lowest fare is 4 yuan.

after arriving in Taiyuan, you can take the high-speed train or ordinary train to Pingyao.

it takes about 28 minutes to get there by train.

it takes about an hour and a half to get there by ordinary train.

Tip:

Personal experience tells everyone to take the ordinary bus as much as possible, because the Pingyao Gucheng Station arrived by train is far from the county seat, and there are not many buses, so it is not recommended. On the contrary, although the flights at Pingyao Station are all ordinary buses, it takes 5 minutes to walk from the ancient city of Pingyao to reach the urban area, so I recommend you to take it.

three. Where to stay in Pingyao ancient city:

Pingyao ancient city is mainly divided into four areas, even if there are North City, South City, East City and West City. Most of the scenic spots are mainly concentrated in West Street and South Street, so most people live near these two streets, in order to visit all the package scenic spots conveniently. However, Pony actually recommended Beicheng. First of all, this place is the most cost-effective. It is the most convenient place to go to the railway station, bus station or high-speed railway station. Special snacks are also concentrated here, and the price is much cheaper than South Street.

four. Analysis of tourist attractions in Pingyao ancient city:

I can't help but recommend the regular tourist attractions, that is, the package area. The following are the recommendations for the minority scenic spots in Xiaomakou:

Mixed House Courtyard

Formerly known as Jijia Courtyard, it was built in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties and has a history of more than 4 years. This used to be the ancestral home of Ji Yugang, the owner of the first draft bank, in Rishengchang, China. I won. Don't say too much about the encyclopedic introduction. Here is my personal impression. I think this is the most worthwhile compound in Pingyao. First of all, it is the largest, longest and most complete ancient residence in Pingyao. Then there are no tickets here, and the cost performance is super high.

Tip:

When you come to the compound of Hunqizhai, you must give priority to brick carving, wood carving and stone carving.

Jilaozhai

This courtyard is somewhat similar to the Wedding Flag Village Courtyard, but compared with the Wedding Flag Village Courtyard, Ji's old house is relatively small, and compared with other bustling Pingyao package attractions, it can be regarded as a clean stream. This old house was built in Yuan Dynasty, and it is a private residence. The main building is a two-story Qifeng building. After entering, it looks a bit like a cave, with Shanxi characteristics. Tickets to 1 yuan, the owner will carefully introduce

This is the most exquisite temple I have ever seen in Shanxi. Shuanglin Temple is not very big, but it is full of essence. The biggest attraction is the colorful sculptures in each temple. The focus can be on the first two temples, which are world-class in scale, quantity and shape and have high ornamental value.

Personally, I like Shuanglin Temple best:

1. All the colored sculptures are made of local red clay, which is sticky, so it has a good texture.

2. More than three-quarters of colored plastics are made by hanging plastic, just like hanging in the air, which will give you a super three-dimensional feeling.

3. There are more than 2, colored sculptures in Shuanglin Temple. Each statue has a different appearance, and no one is of the same kind, so it has a high appreciation value.

Tip:

How to get to Shuanglin Temple:

Take the No.18 bus to Shuanglin Temple at Beimen Bus Station in Pingyao Ancient City, but how about it? When riding a pony, I don't I don't know if it's because of the driver or the route. The driver will bypass Shuanglin Temple, go to Pingyao Ancient City Station, wait for about 3 minutes, and then go to Shuanglin Temple. It wastes a lot of time for tourists. No wonder few tourists come to Shuanglin Temple, which may be one of the reasons.

so personally, I think s best to take a taxi to Shuanglin Temple, which takes about 15 minutes.

Town Temple

The attraction of this temple is similar to that of Shuanglin Temple, so I won't say much. You can focus on the five generations of wooden structures more than 1 years ago, and the sculptures inside are also very exquisite. In addition, there are many well-preserved murals on the wall of the Three Buddha Hall behind the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall.

On the left side of Daxiong Hall, there are three murals to pay homage to the Buddha. Although they look blurred now, they can still see the remaining colors.

Pingyao alternative attractions: Xicun, Liangcun and other ancient villages in Shanxi.

5. how to plan Pingyao travel arrangements?

Pony has been to Pingyao twice, each time for about 2 days. The first time mainly focused on Pingyao's scenic spots, and the second time mainly went deep into Pingyao's free scenic spots and temples and ancient villages in the suburbs.

three days is the right time to visit Pingyao. If you want to know Pingyao better, I suggest it takes at least 4-5 days.

Day 1: The tourist attractions in Pingyao are: Mixed Gas Village, which is an old house.

The next day: There are Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple in the suburbs of Pingyao.

6. What delicious food can I try when traveling to Pingyao?

Pingyao, apart from the ancient city, features delicious food. It is said that there are 18 kinds of snacks in Pingyao ancient city, among which pasta is the main one. Basically, local snacks with distinctive flavor can be found in the ancient streets of Ming and Qing Dynasties. The focus can be on the following snacks.

Pasta snacks recommended for ponies:

1. Oat noodles

You will feel very distinctive by the name, which looks like a beehive and tastes sour and salty. In short, you must try Pingyao. As can be seen from the real shot below, the regular shuttlecock is steamed and dipped in Shanxi vinegar when eating. Of course, there is another way to eat it, which is frying. Personally, I like this way best. It is rich and refreshing.

2. Rules for holding bowls

It is also a popular snack for tourists. This is also the local people's favorite food among the three meals. Ask the local people that it is not difficult to do this, that is, pour the prepared slurry into a flat bowl, steam it and pour it out. It can be eaten cold or fried with vegetables. Personally, I prefer fried food. You can also try.

3. Daoxiao Noodles

Naturally, when you arrive in Shanxi, don't miss Daoxiao Noodles, which is basically available in the north, so it is nothing special in Pingyao. If you don't, if there is no great harmony in your trip, you can try Pingyao, especially those who have been to the south. Don't miss it.

4. Cat ears

The name sounds lovely, but the shape is actually very pleasing. Curves and lines look a bit like cat's ears, but the taste is average, not as good as the previous tunnel.

In addition, we can not miss delicious food, such as fried dumplings, Daoxiao Noodles, camellia oleifera, steamed corn and pick the tip.

series:

1. Pingyao Beef

Almost all restaurants in Pingyao City will have this dish, which is regarded as a delicious food with a long history in the city. Although it is famous, many shops sell it in a rather unorthodox way. Anyway, the pony feels unworthy of its name after eating it several times.

on the contrary, I personally prefer this one. Although it looks a bit like beef, it is simple and unadorned, and its cost performance is better than beef, mainly because it is not greasy to eat. It is recommended.

3. Cooked meat

It is the most common dish in Shanxi. Usually every restaurant has it. Authentic dishes are usually fried with winter bamboo shoots, fungus, mushrooms and green onions. It's sour and sweet, and it's delicious. You must try it when you arrive in Pingyao.

Tip:

The restaurants in Pingyao Ancient City are basically the same, so there is no special recommendation, but it is not recommended to eat in the main street, because the rent is expensive and the corresponding price will be much more expensive. On the contrary, I personally suggest eating outside the ancient city, which will be more cost-effective and delicious.

seven. Other travel tips

1. I can't help but recommend the Qiao Family Courtyard. If you want to see the compound, you might as well go to the Wangs' compound. Why do you recommend it? Compared with jstars and Wangs' compound, it's very conscience. Tickets to 55 yuan, and it's it's very big.

How to get to the Wangs' Courtyard: There are four buses to the Wangs' Courtyard every day at Pingyao Ancient City Bus Station. If you return, just ask the driver, it's the same bus.

the specific departure times are 7:1, 8:4, 12:3 and 1:3.

2. As to whether the sitcom See Pingyao Again is worth watching, I personally think that if you are interested in stage play, you will definitely like it. If not, you may feel bored. However, it can be said that choosing a wife, escorting a bath and taking a soul home will show you the traditional American culture in Pingyao, which I personally think is worth seeing.

the above are pony's travel tips about Pingyao ancient city. I hope it will help your trip. If you have other questions, please leave a message.

2. Research on the present situation and countermeasures of tourism development in Pingyao ancient city

The most distinctive and attractive place of Pingyao ancient city mainly lies in the ancient word. Pingyao ancient city not only retains relatively complete ancient city walls and ancient buildings, but also has a long history and inherits the spirit of Shanxi merchants.

Walking in the ancient Pingyao County, it seems that we can touch the annual rings of time, or we can feel that time goes back here, and we can go back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Apart from the ancient street Gu Xiang, the ancient city walls and ancient buildings, Pingyao is very attractive because of its people.

Different from other tourist attractions with strong commercial flavor, I personally think that Pingyao ancient city is an ancient city with great human touch and fireworks. There are still many local people living in Pingyao in this ancient city.

if tourists cross a street to explore the depths of a small town, they may even accidentally break into an ancient and charming small courtyard of a family. In Pingyao, tourists can settle down and enjoy a quiet and beautiful slow life.

(3) Pingyao ancient city, with a long history and culture after thousands of years, is a model of the Ming and Qing dynasties, showing people the prosperity of culture, economy, politics and religion in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is the most complete existing ancient county.

3. Policy advantages

With the standardization and support of various policies, the tourism environment of Pingyao ancient city has been improved day by day, and the service attitude of tour guides and residents has also improved, making the ancient city look brand-new.

4. economic advantages

Pingyao ancient city is the representative of Shanxi merchant culture in Ming and Qing dynasties. Although its economic development is not as broad as that in Ming and Qing dynasties, it is still deeply influenced by residual economic factors.

(2) Disadvantages

1. Backward business strategy and limited regional reception capacity.

Compared with the famous Old Town of Lijiang, Pingyao Ancient City is far from well-known, with weak market competitiveness and relatively backward overall management strategy. The travel guide about Pingyao ancient city published by related social software lacks detailed introduction, which makes tourists unable to fully understand Pingyao ancient city and reduces their expectations of visiting Pingyao ancient city. In addition, there are relatively few tourist consultation service centers and parking lots in the scenic spot, which can not fully meet the needs of tourists.

2. The traffic is inconvenient.

after more than ten years of construction, although most of the main roads and secondary roads in the ancient city have hardened, the conditions of some roads are still not optimistic. In addition, the number of tourists has increased in recent years, and traffic jams often occur during the peak period of tourism.

3. The management of the tourism market is chaotic.

These people not only lack historical knowledge, but also are unprofessional in explaining scenic spots. They reached agreements with some specialty stores to force tourists to spend money and draw commissions from them. In addition, some unscrupulous traders overcharge tourists and sell tickets such as See Pingyao at high prices for profit. All these have seriously affected the quality of tourism and destroyed the overall tourism image of the ancient city.

4. from the analysis of tourists, it is not attractive to short-term tourists.

With the rapid development of domestic short-distance tourism, the diversity of tourist sources is lacking in functionality.

5. From the product structure, leisure products are lacking.

people who travel to Pingyao are deeply impressed by its exquisite architecture, rich culture and long history, but the products suitable for leisure and holiday are still blank in the market and still stay in the stage of scenic tourism.

according to the age of tourists, there is a lack of tourism products suitable for young people. Pingyao International Film Festival and Photography Festival have great influence and attraction for young customers, but the film festival is short, so it is not necessary to become a hot spot all the year round. Young people don't like many products, such as e-sports, games and independent experience, and the age structure of the customer base is too large.

6. functionally speaking, there is a lack of differentiated tourism products with distinctive personalities.

Many historical sites such as An, Terracotta Warriors, Wild Goose Pagoda and Famen Temple, the ancient capital of Xi 'an in the Six Dynasties, are not comparable to the violent crowd brought by wine. American tourism concept no longer meets mass consumption, but increasingly favors personalized products.

3. Evaluation of tourism resources of Pingyao ancient city

Lizhou ancient city is located on the banks of Lizhou River in Kazuo County, Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province. There are existing historical sites such as Jingyan Temple Pagoda and Lizhou City Site in Lizhou.
