I want to go to the Qiao Family Courtyard (or the Wang Family Courtyard) in Taiyuan on May Day, and then go to Pingyao Ancient City. How to get there? What time is the train or bus?

I suggest you go by car, because the Qiao family courtyard is on Qixian Highway, and the bus will pass by. If you let the driver stop, you can get off and visit, which is more convenient. After visiting the Qiao family, you can stop at the entrance of the Qiao family compound (before 6: 30 at the latest) and go directly to Pingyao by car (it takes half an hour from Qixian to Pingyao). Go to Qiao's home in Qixian early in the morning (few people just opened the door), usually it takes an hour and a half to get to Qiao's home, and then go to Pingyao. There are many scenic spots in Pingyao, and you can have a good time at noon and afternoon. There are also many snacks in Pingyao, which can be used as lunch. If you check in, there are more hotels in Pingyao.

It is suggested that Pingyao tickets 120 yuan or so (all tickets). There are at least four scenic spots to visit in Pingyao, one is to climb the ancient city wall of Pingyao, the other is to take a walk in Pingyao county, the third is to see the first ticket number Rishengchang, and the fourth is to visit a Ming and Qing street. Other escort agencies and Confucian temples can also have a look. Tickets are all included. Tickets for the jstars' compound will not exceed that of 40 yuan.

If you stay in a hotel, your bargaining price in Pingyao can be as low as one night in 60 yuan, otherwise it won't work, and it should be higher on May Day. I think the Ming and Qing streets in Pingyao at night are better than those in the daytime. It's great to rent a bicycle for one, two or three people to ride around the ancient city. You can buy some Pingyao beef as a specialty and look for Guanyun brand. I don't think the rest tastes authentic. This is an old brand. Pingyao Wantuo and Liulin enema are different. People who don't know are always confused You can try it, but it is recommended to go to an authentic store. Hygiene and taste are better than those in the street stalls, but the price is a bit expensive, but around 15 yuan, it should be acceptable. Grandma Pingyao's dried noodles are delicious. Don't eat them, come here for nothing.

If you want to know the cultural connotation of these ancient sites carefully, I suggest asking a tour guide to explain them. If you just visit them, you can visit them yourself. The tour guide fee in Pingyao is around 80 yuan. There may be a price increase on May Day. When traveling, I think we should bring five treasures: first, we should bring enough money; Second, I have to bring my ID card, student ID card and other documents; Third, I should bring my camera; Fourth, I want to bring communication tools; Fifth, I should bring charging or battery equipment. It is recommended to travel together. First, it is safe. Second, the accommodation fee can be shared equally. If you have a student ID card, you should also take it with you, because some students can use it for half price.

In addition, travel focuses on mood, don't be picky, and know how to appreciate taste and tolerance. Your trip will be beautiful because of your mood.

If you want to buy some souvenirs, Pingyao push lacquer ware is the first choice. Remember to bargain. There are several shops in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in a street.

In terms of accommodation, the houses in the city are relatively affordable. Besides, the hotel outside the north gate is also good. The hotel at the railway station advised not to stay. If you stay in a star-rated hotel, you can choose Zhongdu Hotel, Juguangju Hotel and Yufeng Hotel, which are all near the railway station, but they are very expensive.
