Looking for a five-day self-guided tour route from Beijing to Mount Wutai in Pingyao, Shanxi

Enough time

From south to north: Pingyao, Wutai Mountain, Hanging Temple and Yungang Grottoes

We all went there by train. It’s very convenient, I don’t know if this is the case for you.

The first place we went to was Mount Wutai, because the train from Beijing to Mount Wutai was picked up by a special car at 4:30 and went directly to Taihuai Town. , the temples in Wutai Mountain are very concentrated. If you don’t go to Dachaotai, it will end at around 1 pm. There is a bus back to the train station at 2 pm, and the name seems to be to Shahe or something. Of course you can choose to go to Pingyao by car.

You can go to Pingyao Ancient City first, spend about a day there, and then go to Wang’s House and Qiao’s House the next day. They are similar. Wang’s House is a larger private residence, while Qiao’s House is an official residence. You can take a train to Jiexiu from both places. There is a bus to Wangjia from the bus station not far from the train station. Of course, there are many inns in Pingyao that can provide group tours for individual travelers. You can decide after you go there.

Pingyao takes a train to Datong, probably arriving the next morning. Yungang Grottoes and Xuankong Temple are both near Datong. Xuankong Temple is at the foot of Hengshan Mountain. You can check the guide for details. We were going there at that time After seeing Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River, I didn’t have the energy to go to Datong.

If you want to spend more time at my grandpa’s house, you can first go to Datong to see the Yungang Grottoes and Hanging Temple, then go to Wutai Mountain (this will definitely take a day), then go to Pingyao, and finally return from Pingyao. Then arrange the time according to your own needs. Pingyao is not far from the Wang family and Qiao family. It takes about one and a half days. The night view in Pingyao is pretty good and there are many inns
