I'm going to travel to Shanxi on May Day. Please give me some advice. What are the cheap hotels in Pingyao, Taiyuan and Datong? I'm a student, so I'd better be clean and safe.

Jinci is so famous that you have to go. On Yingze Street, the main road in Taiyuan, there are three bus terminals, all belonging to Jinci, which are very convenient and close to the railway station. Get off at Jinci Park, not Jinci. Jinci Park is a free municipal park, and a few hundred meters inside is the Jinci. There are many private guides here, which are cheap, but the content of the explanation has also shrunk a lot. If you want to invite a tour guide, you must go to the Jinci ticket office, where the tour guide has a special badge and the price is uniform. Tickets for Jinci 40 yuan are only available to the elderly,/kloc-students under the age of 0/8 and active servicemen. Shanxi is the province with the most ground cultural relics in China. It was not until Jinci that we understood its meaning. It was not called a cultural relic at all in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it was not early in the Tang Dynasty. Trees and statues often belong to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and thousands of years of history have been deposited everywhere. Walking among them, breathing the air inside, feels like a mummy. The two most precious cultural relics in Jinci, the inscription and preface of Jinci inscribed by Emperor Taizong and the double-sided clay handmaid praised by Master Mei Lanfang, were locked up by big chains. You can't even see a shadow on the tablet. Your maid can only watch from a distance outside the temple. It's dark inside and there is no light. Your handmaid leans over. It's good to see Chu smiling. As for the crying side, please give full play to your imagination. The official interpretation of Jinci is to protect cultural relics. I have been to so many places, the tickets are so expensive, and the cultural relics protection work is so strict. It is the first unit in Jinci. Because of its fame, tourists are in an endless stream, but they are all disappointed. If you can't see the real thing, even the replica, you might as well go home and look at the tourist pictures. The taxi driver told me that Shanxi's per capita deposit is the third in the country. The first time I went to Jinci, I fully felt the "meanness" of Shanxi people. In addition, don't try any dishes at the entrance of Jinci unless you want to experience the meals on the way to the Red Army's Long March as a rich man.

From Jinci back to the railway station, take bus No.820 to Shuangta Temple, which is near dusk. The bronze bells on the two ancient pagodas on the top of the mountain tinkled and could be heard far away. The messy bells are harmonious in the cold wind and slowly melt in the golden sunshine, which is particularly bleak. An old man over the age of ancient times brought his daughter to burn incense, pointed to the only banyan tree in the tower and told the story. When he was young, the Taoist here told him that this tree was a sacred tree. Different from other banyan trees, the crown of this tree is round from any angle. After Yuan Shikai's bombardment and the surging Cultural Revolution, this tree stood there unscathed, still tall and straight, which was amazing. By the way, the admission ticket for Shuangta Temple in 20 yuan is half price for students and free for journalists, soldiers and the elderly, which is much more humanized than Jinci Temple.

The strange experience of coming to Chongshan Temple later has been written in another article, so I won't go into details here.

I saw something in the car when I came back. Although it had nothing to do with the trip, I didn't feel bad. The bus ran a red light, a BMW 760 was driving side by side outside the window, and a lady in a mink coat was wrapping a red envelope in the back seat. I saw a stack of new banknotes with a face value of five yuan from the high-end calf leather wallet. People who get such a thick red envelope will definitely have an absurd dream. Shanxi's per capita deposit ranks third in the country, not in name only.

Hao Gang, highly recommended by netizens, enlarged her holiday to fifteen during the Spring Festival, but failed to eat it. However, I want to remind those who admire me. Hao Gang's business hours are from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., and people queue up for admission every day. There is no branch in Taiyuan. People who want to eat must look at the time.

When staying at Huazhou Hotel in Taiyuan, the standard room 120 yuan, my face was frozen, so it was hard to bargain. It's clean and the location is good. The snack street is just around the corner. Across the street is the Rat Cave Lantern Festival, and not far away is Liuweizhai sauce meat, which is a double-synthesized girl's zongzi. Hao has just finished shearing sheep. Unfortunately, because of the festival, all the doors are closed, and jiaozi's family only supplies it during the Dragon Boat Festival, so she can only sell a bag of Liuweizhai sauce meat to console herself.

Qiao's Family Compound

There is a bus to Pingyao at Jiannan bus station. Tickets are not sold at the station, so you can directly enter the station to choose your favorite car and buy tickets. The planned Qiao Family Courtyard is on the road from Taiyuan to Pingyao. The only direct access to the Qiao Family Courtyard is CMB, 14 yuan. It comes every 20 minutes. The crowd surged. As soon as the car door opens, poles will flock to the top of the mountain, which is likely to seize the top of the mountain. I am very self-aware and shy. Another option is to take an air-conditioned bus to Pingyao. I hate that drivers think I can't squeeze into the overloaded CMB. Tickets for Qiao Courtyard are 2 1 yuan, 18 yuan, and the station independently rises 16.67%. Spring Festival travel rush craze.

It's about an hour's drive from Taiyuan to Joe's compound. Get off at the side of the road and walk for about one kilometer. You can put your heavy travel bags at the farmer's house on the roadside, and each bag costs one yuan. There should be no problem, so I will send them. There is no need to carry a heavy bag and walk to the special charge storage office in Qiao's yard Fans with red lanterns hanging high will never let this place go. The venue is bigger and more spectacular than in the movie. As far as beautifully carved porches and famous ink plaques are concerned, I personally think it is better than the Wang family courtyard I visited later. There are so many tourists that there is no need for a guide at all. As long as you stop at one place, you can hear different explanations from more than three tour guides. Tickets 120 yuan are a bit expensive. Half tickets for students and free tickets for soldiers. After visiting the Qiao Family Courtyard, a "good-hearted person" will tell you that with this ticket, you can also visit the folk village of Qiao Family Second Hospital, which is actually a tourist commodity market, which is meaningless.

Pingyao

Pingyao is famous for killing customers, so I carefully inquired about the price of air tickets to Pingyao in my hometown where I delivered packages. From Qiao Courtyard to Pingyao, only passing vehicles from Taiyuan to Pingyao can be stopped. Generally speaking, villagers are 10 yuan, and tourists need at least 15 yuan. When the car stopped at the intersection, a Santana driver came to strike up a conversation, saying that he would return to Pingyao empty, bring some gas money on the road, and bargain to 10 yuan/person. The driver on the road told us that he was the full-time driver of Boss Yu. Today, he was sent to pick up a Beijing self-driving car and take us all the way, so the price was very cheap. Then he asked where we lived. I heard that Pingyao city is full of child care, so I have booked the standard room of Jinjinglou at the price of 100 yuan/day. The driver immediately said it was expensive, and skillfully took out Yu's introduction, a two-star one opened by a famous industrialist in Pingyao, and a photo of Jing Yidan and the shopkeeper to advertise. It is said that Beijing guests live in standard rooms in 200 yuan, and we are destined to be 150. Later, we talked for a long time to reduce the price to 120. When I arrived in Yufengheng, the proprietress only let me live in the standard room of 100 yuan (in Pingyao, heatable adobe sleeping platform is generally 20-50 yuan). There is a big gap between the real scene of the room and the publicity pictures, and the facilities are simple. Only the standard room specifications have no standard room quality. The shopkeeper explained that 100 yuan is very cheap to live in a standard room of heatable adobe sleeping platform. The implication is that we have a big advantage, so don't choose three rooms and four rooms. The other two people in the same trade, 100 yuan, can only live in the attic upstairs and sleep in a bed. Of course, two self-driving drivers in Beijing were slaughtered even worse. Yufengheng is next to the Chenghuang Temple, and the street is very narrow, but the driver told us that this is the most prosperous street in Pingyao. I was a little suspicious. I went out to Jinjinglou, South Street, only to be cheated.

The busiest street in Pingyao is Nanjie, where Tianyuan Kui, the most decorated by foreigners, is located. The middle section is the symbol of Pingyao city center-Jinjinglou, and Jinjinglou Inn is 20 meters north of Jinjinglou. The location is very good, newly renovated. As the saying goes, if you don't know the goods, you are afraid to shop around. By contrast, we feel cheated. It was discovered in the evening that this standard room of heatable adobe sleeping platform was in the corner just below the stairs, and the ground shook upstairs and downstairs, which was hot and dry. I kept licking my chapped lips all night and dreamed that I was lost in the Sahara desert. The two colleagues upstairs are more like living in a tropical rain forest. The attic is heated irregularly, and they don't know what to do when taking a shower. The room was sultry like a sauna, so they had to open the window and enjoy the special treatment of stepping on the equator at the top of the North Pole all night. The next morning, when we checked out, the shopkeeper was a little embarrassed by us. He was willing to upgrade our room at the price of 100 yuan, and told us that the driver yesterday was a nurse at all and wanted a kickback. But the bad influence has been caused and cannot be recovered, so we moved to Jinjinglou.

There are many stalls selling secondhand goods and antiques on South Street, one of which is "washing fish". I learned from the popular science program that this copper basin is splashed with water drops because of the friction of hands on it, so I suggest people in the same industry try it. I was overjoyed when I touched it, but the water in the basin was still hot (comrades, be more alert to the revolution! )。 After rubbing for a long time, nothing changed, and I was ready to get up and leave. At this time, the stall owner rushed over and took pains to explain the demonstration, and finally succeeded. Wipe your hands and ask: How much is it? Answer: No, ten yuan at a time. And take out a small piece of cardboard from the back of the melon statue, which reads the words "ten yuan to play once". I was killed more simply this time, and I was dumbfounded. I can only pay and leave. After that, we made unannounced visits to many antique stalls, which basically ranged from three to five yuan according to different geographical locations. In contrast, they are "kind".

General situation of Pingyao

Pingyao Ancient City Pass 120 yuan, half price for students and free for soldiers. However, the scenic spots are repetitive and the cost performance is not high. In addition, the expensive tour guide fees of various scenic spots are not as good as reading Shanxi merchants. Pingyao people have changed the simple characteristics of Shanxi people and are cunning and full of lies. If you ask the rickshaw puller for directions, he will drag you for a long time and charge you exorbitant prices. Ask the next driver, and the answer is still the same. It's a bit like "the worm eats the mouse and bites the man" in "The Big House Gate", a pawn shop with internal collusion.

When I go to Pingyao, I don't think it is necessary to buy tickets for 120 yuan. It is better to take a walk in a secluded alley with a camera, where there are many authentic old houses and old people.

Pingyao lacquerware is famous, but it is not a Pingyao specialty at all. It is produced in Yunnan, but the lacquerware here sells well. Jewelry boxes are rich in gold and jade, and the internal production process is extremely rough, but they are expensive. Pingyao beef, only the "X branch" is authentic. There are two in Nanjie, one in the north and one in the south of Jinjinglou, both of which are genuine, but their prices are much lower than those in 5 yuan.

Pingyao's food is famous far and near, and I have been psychologically prepared. I found several dissatisfied "first-class hotels" and finally settled in Yuan Kui. It happened that there was no "first-class" sign here, but it was crowded. Elegant decoration, delicious food and really inexpensive price. A person can eat well for an average of 20 yuan. Recommend "fish with oil noodles", each serving 18, a bit like spaghetti. On the west street more than 0/00 meters away from Ximen/Kloc-,just to the right of the gate, there is a Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou (there is also a Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou 50 meters away from the gate, not this one, don't go wrong, but the one far from the gate). A large portion of beef fried noodles with five yuan is delicious, and it is enough for two people with small appetite to share it. I can't believe that there is such cheap food in Pingyao city. In Pingyao, we were lucky not to be slaughtered.

The price of Jinjinglou peak season 100 yuan is not expensive, but a pair of "old donkeys" I met on the road told me that the standard room they found in the quiet street opposite the county government is 40 yuan. You can try to find it and try your bargaining skills.

No.36 East Street is an old shop doing facial makeup. The masks of Peking Opera and social drama in the store were painted by the old people one by one, and the masks of social drama were collected from the people bit by bit. Social drama is gradually lost in China. At present, he has collected Facebook, the most social drama in China. Most of the people who come to his shop are foreigners and teachers and students from the Academy of Fine Arts. I bought a lot, but the price of a jewelry box is much more meaningful than the industrialization process of mass production of lacquerware. Finally, I also asked the old man to sign his name-Gong Jiulun at the end of each face book. The old man used a writing brush. He said, I have used it all my life.

Shuanglinsi

Pingyao 120 yuan tickets can't be bought, so Shuanglin Temple has to go. In Pingyao, everyone will tell you that you can only rent a car to go to Shuanglin Temple Zhenguo Temple. Actually, there is no bus No.3 to Zhenguo Temple. Get on the bus in front of the railway station. Go to Shuanglin Temple and take a bus to Jiexiu at the railway station. Get off at Shuanglin Temple and walk 500 meters along the road. I stopped the bus to Pingyao when I came back. There are so many spectacular and lifelike statues in Shuanglin Temple, which completely makes up for my regret that I didn't enjoy the clay sculpture of Jinci Temple at close range. Ask the tour guide to listen to the explanation. There are few tourists in Shuanglin Temple, and it is luck to meet a tour guide.

Wang's Family Compound

It takes an hour for CMB to get from Pingyao to Jiexiu. Don't believe the story of the taxi driver at the railway station. You can stop at the Wang Jia Courtyard under the signboard of Goubuli Steamed Bun opposite, 3.5 per person. More than half an hour's drive. Get off the bus and deliver the bag nearby, or you will have to climb the big slope with your backpack. Tickets for the Wang Family Courtyard in 46 yuan are half-price for students and soldiers. There is a saying that the Wangs don't look at the courtyard when they come back, which really deserves their reputation. I think it is more appropriate to call it Wang Jiabao. The courtyard is built on the mountain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The whole is a castle, but it is divided into small courtyards. Wang courtyard style, jstars courtyard pay attention to. The Wang Family Courtyard is a local rich man in China, and the Qiao Family Courtyard has a bourgeois sentiment. Each has its own strengths, but the Wangs' compound was later repaired, while the jstars' compound was well preserved.

Supplement:

40 yuan Jinci, Qiao Family Courtyard tickets are also 40 yuan. Take a bus to Qixian County from the South Station under construction, and get off at the entrance of the Qiao Family Courtyard (9 yuan). (Take 6 1 1 bus from the railway station to Jiannan Station), and the railway station-Jinci: 804,856, all in the left-hand parking lot. Ticket price: 2 yuan, the admission fee is 40, and there is no half price for college students and above.
