I just went to Pingyao ancient city with my friend go on road trip in the second day of junior high school. Personally, I feel that there is no need to see other ancient cities after seeing Pingyao ancient city. Nowadays, the prevalence of man-made ancient cities is the deformation of commercial streets. Pingyao is a real ancient city with more than 2,7 years. Although some of them are ancient cities, their scale is too small to be a fraction of Pingyao's. Let's talk about the strategy of visiting Pingyao ancient city!

if go on road trip arrives in Pingyao ancient city, it is suggested that he park his car in the parking lot (1 yuan in the daytime and 2 yuan in the evening) and live in the ancient city. The ancient city only charges no money for shopping. Only when he enters the county government, Chenghuang Temple, Escort Agency, Yinhao and Confucian Temple can he get a pass of 125 yuan. He can buy it at any time. There is the first bank in China (Rishengchang Bank) and the Confucius Temple with a history of more than 2, years! You can stay in the homestay, experience the kang bed, and have a standard room to see your hobbies. If you study the history of the ancient city in 27 years, you can experience it slowly in three days! If you can't walk, you can take the scenery inside and take a bus to everyone in 1 yuan. The night view of Pingyao ancient city is quite beautiful! I think it is the most interesting city at present!

Pingyao ancient city is well worth visiting. It is very big, so you don't need tickets to visit it, so you can have a leisurely stroll. There are 13 scenic spots that need to buy tickets. You can buy them separately or through tickets. Pass 13 is valid for three days. Scenic spots include Escort Agency, county government, ticket number, houses, Confucian Temple, Qingxu Guan, city wall and so on. Each scenic spot has its own story, which is worth savoring carefully.

There is a very famous live performance in Pingyao ancient city, which is very shocking. You should keep walking and watching for more than an hour, and be careful when taking care of your children.

In addition, Pingyao International Photography Exhibition, International Exhibition, many works and forums will be held before the National Day every year. It has been held for more than ten times.

The film "Station" by Shanxi-born director Jia Zhangke was shot in a factory near the ancient city, and now it has become an art shrine. Pingyao International Photography Exhibition is held here, and Pingyao International Film Exhibition will be held in mid-October, which has been held for two times.

There is a movie palace in the exhibition area where you can watch movies. You can feel it by watching movies in a movie theater transformed from a factory building. There is also an open-air venue where you can watch movies during the event, which is not available in other ancient cities!

In short, Pingyao is beautiful, waiting for you to feel her!

Pingyao Ancient City is located in Pingyao County, in the middle of Shanxi Province. Pingyao, Shanxi Province is known as one of the "four best preserved ancient cities", and it is also one of the only two ancient cities in China that successfully declared the world cultural heritage with the whole ancient city. Pingyao Ancient City is an outstanding example of ancient cities in China in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Pingyao ancient city has become a national 5A-level tourist attraction.

I went to Pingyao Ancient City on April 9, 215, and I was organized by my company. I was at Hukou Waterfall at noon and arrived at Pingyao Pingcheng around 5 pm.

Personally, I'm not interested in scenic spots such as "ancient city", so it's not that I'm biased against ancient cities, because I grew up in the countryside and saw too many ancient villages.

There are many ancient buildings in Pingyao ancient city, but the tour we reported at that time didn't include tickets for various scenic spots in Pingyao ancient city, so we didn't go in. Only in the streets and alleys of Pingyao ancient city. There are many shops, hotels, restaurants and snacks in the ancient city.

I don't know the hotel price geometry, because the unit is booked by a travel agency;

In the store, the female colleague of the unit is turning to buy things, and another colleague (male) and I have been following, and neither of us bought anything;

I ate a kind of 8 yuan for my snack, and I forgot its name. Many shops in the ancient city sell "Pingyao beef", which is basically 55 pounds (in 215);

The food in the restaurant was very expensive. At that time, my colleague asked me what to eat. I thought to myself, Daoxiao Noodles in Shanxi is quite famous, so let's eat Daoxiao Noodles. I found a big shop, and ordered three kinds of Shanxi noodles (I only remembered Daoxiao Noodles, but I didn't remember my name for the other two kinds of noodles). I asked for two bowls of each, and each bowl of 16 yuan cost 96 yuan, which was always expensive. We ordered one in Luoyang.

At that time, colleagues and unit leaders bought the most vinegar. There were so many shops selling vinegar in Pingyao Ancient City, and many of them were "vinegar shops", which produced and processed vinegar in the back and sold vinegar in the front. At that time, I remember that the cheapest one was a kilo in 15 yuan, the most expensive one was a kilo in 25 yuan, and the counter-offer was two kilos in 45 yuan. Hehe, I didn't buy anything. I wandered aimlessly in the streets of Pingyao ancient city for hours!

Pingyao ancient city is one of the birthplaces of Shanxi merchants, and Pingyao is one of the stops when Shanxi merchants go west. To the north are Qixian, Taigu and Jinzhong, a series of Shanxi merchants, banks and courtyards. Now if you want to see the ticket number, you can only go to Pingyao. This is a city that was snatched from the knife.

If you are a financial controller, come to Pingyao to explore how Rishengchang Bank can be regarded as "the originator of China Modern Bank";

If you are an ancient city controller, come to Pingyao, where there is no business and foreign accent in Lijiang.

If you are a history controller, come to Pingyao. What is most needed here is history and stories. The richness of Pingyao really needs people who like history to understand it best. Pingyao said, "I have a story and a history. Are you ready for good wine?"

If you are an innkeeper, come to Pingyao. The quaint inns in the ancient city must make you feel that you have crossed into a young lady in a deep house compound in the world.

If you are a gourmet, come to Pingyao. Shanxi is the hometown of pasta. You can eat all kinds of pasta in Pingyao, steamed, fried, boiled, fried and fried ... You will be amazed at how many patterns can be made out of noodles.

If you are a hutong control, come to Pingyao. Although it's not as famous as the North-South Hutong Yandai Alley in the background, a city in Pingyao has four streets, eight small streets and 72 tiger alleys, which makes you want to visit every corner here.

If you are a runner, come to Pingyao, measure the walls of the ancient city with your feet, and commemorate the wall running in Pingyao with your speed;

Too many ...

Give you some practical information:

First, transportation:

There is no airport in Pingyao, but there is a train station (the center of the county), a moving station (relatively far from the county, but buses can go directly to the south gate of the ancient city) and a bus station (5 minutes' walk from the north gate of the ancient city, The most convenient)

2. Tickets: (You don't need tickets to enter the ancient city, but you need to buy a pass to visit the scenic spots in the ancient city)

One ticket is listed in 15 yuan. In the past two years, the scenic spots have been doing activities, 13 yuan/person, and 21 scenic spots in the ancient city are common, but one scenic spot can only enter once. Including: City Wall, Scholar of Confucian Temple, City God Temple, County Government, Rishengchang, Baichuantong Museum, Xietongqing Qianzhuang, Qingxu Guan, Ancient Dwellings, Tongxing Public Escort Agency, North China No.1 Escort Agency, Weitaihou Museum, Huiwulin Museum, China Chamber of Commerce Museum, Tianjiangxiang Museum, Weishengchang Museum, Lei Lvtai's former residence, China Escort Agency and China Rare Newspaper Office.

if time is limited, please pay close attention to the priority visit marked in black and bold.

Note: You can also choose not to buy tickets for the ancient city, just stroll around the ancient city, walk into your favorite inn, chat with the old people sunbathing in front of the old house, learn a few words of Pingyao dialect and listen to the story of this ancient city.

Third, play arrangements (staying in the ancient city for two nights is the best)

You can spend one day wandering around the ancient city, and the other day you can go to the nearby Qiaojia Courtyard (located in Qixian County, about 3 kilometers away from Pingyao), and you can go to the Wangs Courtyard in Lingshi, and you can go to Mianshan in Jiexiu. In addition, there are motor trains here in Pingyao, or the ancient city carpools, so it is very convenient to go to nearby attractions.

In the evening, I went to see a live drama See Pingyao again. The whole performance highlighted the moral tradition of Pingyao people and their tragic feelings because of this tradition through the segments of "choosing a wife", "escort bathing", "soul going home" and "face show". Generally speaking, there are two performances, starting at 14: pm and 19: pm. Tickets in peak season are tight, so be sure to book them in advance. The theater is outside the west gate of the ancient city. You can take a battery car or stroll by yourself.

IV. Accommodation

Most of the accommodations in the ancient city are inns, with heatable adobe sleeping platform and ordinary beds, so you can choose freely. If it is the most convenient, living on South Street is the most comfortable. However, the price is slightly higher. Some people live in County Ya Street, North Street and West Street, and there are many in unknown alleys. The price is lower, but it is much quieter. There are also youth hostels in the ancient city, so I won't recommend this separately. Let's look at my personal hobbies.

V. Bars

When you come to the ancient city, it seems that you always have to go to bars. The bars in the ancient city are mainly Qing bars, such as Sakura House Bar, travelers, here is a bar, Hoh Xil, Siheyuan, and bar companions. Look at the door. Whoever likes the layout of his house will go in and order a drink. There are resident singers in the shop, listening to some songs and drinking. That's good.

But the popularity is not as high as that of Lijiang's bars. Perhaps the tourism promotion is not strong enough. However, the good thing is that Pingyao Bar is low in consumption, and many of them can be found on Meituan, which is still a very affordable price.

VI. Gourmet

1. Pingyao beef, cooked with high-quality calf leg and pickled, is characterized by fresh and tender meat, fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood, crispy and delicious, ruddy color, clearly visible shredded pork and attractive appearance.

2. Pingyao bowl tray, a plate of excellent bowl tray is smooth and delicious. When making a bowl tray, mix it with white flour, warm salt water, vegetable oil, etc. to make a paste, then put it into a five-inch dish, steam it in a cage, and let it cool. The bowl holder can be both cold and hot fried.

this snack can be seen everywhere in the streets of the ancient city. There are two kinds: cold salad and fried. Personally, I especially like the saucer fried by the uncle at the top of South Street to Ying Ge Lane. In summer, it is fried with green peppers, and in winter, it is fried with dried red peppers. I love green peppers, and it costs ten yuan a bowl.

3. You're a kind of flour food made of you're fine, so it's named because it looks like a basket, which is called "You're a basket" by the people.

4. Rub fish with oat flour, which is a kind of pasta often eaten by people in the mountainous areas of Yanbei, Jinzhong and Lvliang. Because it is rubbed by hand, it becomes a fish-like shape with two sharp ends and a thick middle, so it is named Rub fish. The method of rubbing fish is labor-consuming and time-consuming, and there are many ways to eat it, which can be steamed and hot, cold or fried, and braised with side dishes.

5. Handmade moon cakes are generally made of flour, sugar, brown sugar, sesame seeds, peanuts and other raw materials by hand. Two dollars for the big one and one dollar for the small one. The crust is thin and crisp, and the filling is fragrant but not greasy. There are sweet stuffing and salty stuffing, and the handmade moon cakes that have just come out of the pot and are hot are the most delicious.

6. The last thing to eat: Like all scenic spots in China, it's vanilla meat sold in stalls! Vanilla rice! Beef skewers! It's really bad and unsanitary. Please don't try it!

VII. Special products and souvenirs

1. Pingyao beef is the first product, so I don't need to repeat the advantages. See above for details. In Pingyao, the best brand is Guanyun beef. If you want to buy authentic Pingyao beef, you can see the manufacturer of Guanyun beef diagonally opposite the bus stop when you leave the north gate of Pingyao ancient city. Note that you should buy beef in a regular store, and don't be greedy for cheap. There are 3 yuan bags on the street, which are basically produced by small manufacturers. As for whether it is beef or not, you have the final say.

2. Pingyao push-gloss lacquerware is named after the luster of the palm. I wonder if you have seen the movie Du Shiniang? I clearly remember that when Du Shiniang was about to jump into the river, he was furious with his treasure chest. At that time, when I was eight years old, I wanted such a treasure chest filled with necklaces, earrings, bracelets and other jewelry. Therefore, the push-light lacquer jewelry box will definitely satisfy your girl's heart. In addition to jewelry boxes, there are various ornaments such as screens. Don't miss it if you like Chinese classical style!

The old lady's girl heart made me buy this hijab bride as soon as I saw it!

3. Pingyao long yam is a medicine for invigorating spleen, nourishing stomach and benefiting qi. I don't need to say much about the benefits of yam. The yam produced in Pingyao is sticky and powdery.

Note: There are a lot of vinegars, red dates and Fenjiu in the ancient city, which are all specialties of Shanxi. Shanxi mature vinegar is one of the four famous vinegars in China, which is very famous, but it is not a specialty of Pingyao. Dear, don't buy vinegar in the ancient city. Why I will never go to Pingyao ancient city again

Hello everyone, I am a pen.

1. The food in the ancient city tastes ordinary and expensive, and there may be some small shops with good taste, but I haven't found them (comments are welcome). There are KFC and other shopping malls outside the city, so you can consider these if you don't like them.

2. As introduced at the beginning of the article, it is indeed well preserved, in terms of architectural structure, etc., but it has a strong commercial atmosphere, and there are many bars and the like at night. I feel that I am in Fenghuang Ancient City or in Nanluoguxiang, Houhai, Beijing, and the similarity with similar scenic spots is too high, and I have lost the original taste of the ancient city.

3. Those who have never been there and want to see it can go! Pen and pen think it's enough to go once, but it's unnecessary to go again. Because this place is in a county town in Shanxi, there is only one ancient city of Pingyao. If you go, you must climb the wall! The scenery and the feeling that gives people are particularly good. This is also the only place that I think I particularly like. It is very suitable for couples. If it is very hot during the day, it will be romantic to climb the city wall at night to watch the night scene.

travel tips for pens

1. It may be cold at night, so take a coat.

2. Tickets are more than 1 yuan, so students must bring their student ID cards at half price.

3. As mentioned in the article, you need to buy an extra ticket to go up to the city wall, and you can only use it once. For example, you can't go up during the day and want to see the night view at night.

4. You can stay outside the city or in the city, and there are homestays in the city.

5. I went there by train. It's very convenient to take a taxi from the railway station to the ancient city.

Three reasons why you can't refuse to visit Pingyao ancient city:

1. Pingyao is the most completely preserved Ming and Qing Dynasties in China at present.
