Is the ancient city of Pingyao, Shanxi worth visiting?

On the second day of junior high school, my friends and I went to go on road trip, the ancient city of Pingyao. Personally, I feel that there is no need to see other ancient cities after seeing Pingyao ancient city. Nowadays, the deformation of commercial street is prevalent in man-made ancient cities. Pingyao is a real ancient city with a history of more than 2700 years. Although some of them are ancient cities, their scale is too small, less than a fraction of Pingyao's. Let's talk about the tour guide of Pingyao ancient city first!

If you go to road trip to reach Pingyao Ancient City, it is suggested that you park his car in the parking lot (day 10 yuan, and add 20 yuan at night) and live in the ancient city. The ancient city only shops without charge. You can only get the pass of 125 yuan if you enter the county government, Chenghuang Temple, Escort Agency, Bank and Confucian Temple. He can buy it anytime. There is the first bank in China (Rishengchang Bank) and the Confucius Temple with a history of more than 2,000 years! You can live in a homestay, experience a kang bed, and have a hobby of watching standard rooms. If you study the 2700-year history of the ancient city, you can experience it slowly in three days! If you can't walk, you can take the bus in the scenic spot of 10 yuan/person. The night view of Pingyao ancient city is quite beautiful! I think it is the most interesting city at present!

Pingyao ancient city is worth a visit. It's very big. You don't need tickets to visit the ancient city, you can take a leisurely stroll. The scenic spots that need to buy tickets are 13. You can buy it separately or through the ticket. The pass is valid for three days. Scenic spots include escort agency, county government, ticket number, residential houses, Confucian temple, Qingxuguan, city wall and so on. Each scenic spot has its own story, which is worth savoring.

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 the children.

In addition, Pingyao international photography exhibition, international exhibition and many works will be held every year before the National Day, and there are forums to participate. It has been held for more than ten times.

The film Station by Shaanxi-born director Jia 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 the middle of 10, which has been held for two times.

There is a movie palace in the exhibition area where you can watch movies, and you can also feel it in the cinema transformed from the factory building. There are also open-air venues 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, central Shanxi Province. Pingyao 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 have successfully declared the world cultural heritage with the whole ancient city. Pingyao ancient city is an outstanding example of China ancient city 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, 20 15, which was organized by my unit at that time. At Hukou Waterfall at noon, and arrive at Pingyao Pingcheng around 5 pm.

Personally, I am not interested in scenic spots such as the "ancient city", so I am not prejudiced against the ancient city, because I grew up in the countryside and have seen too many ancient villages.

There are many ancient buildings in Pingyao ancient city, but the tour we reported at that time did not include tickets for various scenic spots in Pingyao ancient city, so we didn't go in. Only in the streets 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 set by the travel agency;

The store is where the female colleagues in the unit are transferring things. Another colleague (male) and I have been following, and neither of us bought anything.

Snacks cost 8 yuan, but I forgot the name. Many shops in the ancient city sell "Pingyao beef", which is basically 55 kg (2065438+05);

The food in this restaurant is very expensive. At that time, my colleague asked me what I wanted to eat. I thought, Daoxiao Noodles in Shanxi is quite famous, so let's eat Daoxiao Noodles. I found a big shop and ordered three kinds of famous noodles in Shanxi (I only remember Daoxiao Noodles, but I can't remember the names of the other two). I ordered two bowls of everything, each bowl 16 yuan, * * spent 96 yuan, which has always been very expensive.

Colleagues and unit leaders bought the most vinegar when they went. There are so many shops selling vinegar in Pingyao ancient city, many of them are "vinegar shops", which produce and process vinegar at the back and sell vinegar at the front. At that time, I remember that the cheapest one was 15 yuan, and my colleagues bought the most from 25 yuan, and even made a counter-offer to 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 a stop for Shanxi merchants to advance westward. To the north are Qixian, Taigu and Jinzhong, a series of Shanxi merchants, banks and courtyards. If you want to see the ticket number now, you can only go to Pingyao. This is a city snatched from the sword.

If you are the chief financial officer, come to Pingyao and 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 of Lijiang.

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

If you are an innkeeper, come to Pingyao. The antique inn in the ancient city, entering the courtyard through the second and third doors, must make you feel that you have crossed into a lady in a deep house on earth.

If you are a gourmet, come to Pingyao. Shanxi is the hometown of pasta. In Pingyao, you can eat all kinds of pasta, steamed, fried, boiled, fried, fried ... you will be surprised at the diversity of noodles.

If you are a hutong control, come to Pingyao. Although it is not as famous as the smoke-filled hutong in the background, a city in Pingyao has four streets, eight small streets and 72 dragonflies, which makes you want to visit every corner here.

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

Too much, too much.

Give you some practical information:

First, transportation:

There is no airport in Pingyao, but there are railway station (the center of the county), moving station (far from the county, but there is a bus that can go directly to the south gate of the ancient city) and bus station (it is most convenient to walk from the north gate of the ancient city for 5 minutes).

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 150 yuan. The scenic spot has been doing activities for the past two years, 130 yuan/person. There are 265,438+0 scenic spots in the ancient city, but one scenic spot can only be visited once, including: city wall, Confucian scholar, city god temple, county government, Rishengchang, Baichuantong Museum, Xie Tongqing Qianzhuang and so on.

If time is limited, priority should be marked in bold black first.

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 (two nights in the ancient city is best)

You can spend 1 day visiting the ancient city. On the other day, you can go to the nearby Qiao Family Courtyard (located in Qixian County, about 30 kilometers away from Pingyao), Wang Family Courtyard in Lingshi and Mianshan in Jiexiu. In addition, there are motor trains here in Pingyao, or carpooling in the ancient city, which is very convenient to go to nearby attractions.

In the evening, I went to see a live drama Goodbye Pingyao. The whole performance highlights the moral tradition of Pingyao people and the sadness caused by this tradition through clips such as "choosing a wife", "bathing with an escort", "Returning to one's hometown" and "changing face". Generally speaking, there are two performances, which start at 14:00 and 19:00 respectively. Tickets are tight in the peak season, so be sure to book in advance. The theater is outside the west gate of the ancient city. You can take a battery car or go shopping by yourself.

Fourth, accommodation.

Most of the accommodation in the ancient city is an inn, with a heatable adobe sleeping platform and ordinary beds, which you can choose freely. If it is the most convenient, living in South Street is the most comfortable. But the price is slightly higher. Some people live in Xianya Street, North Street and West Street, and many of them live 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 take a look at my personal hobbies.

Five, the bar

When you come to the ancient city, you always seem to go to the bar. If the wine in the ancient city of bar owners is Qing Bar, Sakura House Bar and Traveller, here are bars, Hoh Xil, Siheyuan and bar companions. Look at that 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 some wine. That's good.

However, the popularity is not as high as that of Lijiang bars, which may be due to insufficient tourism promotion. Fortunately, Pingyao bar has low consumption, and many of them can be found on the US group, which is still very affordable.

Sixth, food.

1. Pingyao beef, made of high-quality calf legs, is characterized by fresh and tender meat, fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood, crisp and delicious, ruddy color, clearly visible shredded pork and attractive appearance.

2. Pingyao dishes, a good dish has smooth surface texture and delicious taste. When cooking dishes, mix them with white flour, warm salt water and vegetable oil. Make it into paste, then put it in a five-inch plate, steam it in a cage and let it cool. The bowl rack can be fried cold or hot.

This kind of snack can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of the ancient city. There are two kinds: cold salad and fried. Personally, I especially like the saucers fried by my uncle from South Street to the top of Ying Ge Lane. Stir-fried with green peppers in summer and dried red peppers in winter. I like to eat green peppers, ten yuan a bowl.

3. You are a kind of noodle food, which is made of delicate noodles. It is named after its appearance like a "basket bucket" and is called "you are a kind of noodle food".

4. Rubbing fish with oil noodles is a kind of pasta that people often eat in the mountainous areas of Yanbei, Jinzhong and Lvliang. It is named "rubbing fish" because it is shaped like a fish with two sharp ends and a thick middle. The method of rubbing fish is labor-consuming and time-consuming, and there are many ways to eat it. It can be steamed or hot, cold or fried, or braised with side dishes.

5, handmade moon cakes, generally made of flour, sugar, brown sugar, sesame seeds, peanuts and other raw materials. 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 the scenic spots in China, it is vanilla meat sold by stalls! Vanilla rice! Beef skewers! It's really bad and unsanitary. Please don't try!

Seven, specialty, souvenir

1, Pingyao beef is the first, and 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 go to a regular store to buy beef, and don't be greedy and cheap. There are 30 yuan's bags on the street, which are basically made by small manufacturers. It's up to you whether it's beef or not.

2. Pingyao push lacquer ware 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 flew into a rage at the treasure chest. When I was eight years old, I wanted such a treasure chest full of necklaces, earrings, bracelets and other jewelry. Therefore, the glossy lacquer jewelry box will definitely satisfy your girlish 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 girl's 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 more about the benefits of yam. The yam produced in Pingyao is sticky and powdery.

Note: There are a lot of vinegar, 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 will I never go to Pingyao ancient city again? Hello, everyone, I'm a pen.

1. The food in the ancient city tastes ordinary and the price is expensive. There may be some delicious shops, but I haven't found them yet (comments are welcome). There are shopping malls such as KFC outside the city. If you don't like these, you can consider them.

2. As introduced at the beginning of the article, it is really well preserved, in terms of architectural structure, 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 Nanluoguxiang, Houhai, Beijing, and the similarity with similar scenic spots is too high, losing the original flavor of the ancient city.

3. If you haven't been there, you can go if you want to see it! Pen and pen think it is enough to go once, there is no need to go again. Because this place is in a county town in Shanxi, there is only one Pingyao ancient city. If you go, you must climb the wall! The scenery and the feeling are particularly good. This is also the only place I think I particularly like. Very suitable for couples. If it is very hot during the day, it will be romantic to climb the city wall and watch the night scene at night.

Pen and Pen Travel Tips

1, it may be cold at night. Take a coat.

2. Tickets are more than 100, and students must bring their student ID cards at half price.

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

4, accommodation can live outside the city or in the city, there are homestays in the city.

I went by train, so it is convenient to take a taxi from the railway station to the ancient city.

There are three reasons why you can't refuse Pingyao Ancient City, which is most worth visiting:

1. Pingyao is the most complete prototype of the ancient county town of Ming and Qing dynasties in China! So the ornamental value is very high!

2. Pingyao was established by the cultural thought and architectural style of Han nationality in China! Cultural relics can be seen everywhere!

Pingyao is the birthplace of Shanxi merchants and Rishengchang draft bank. You know, Rishengchang was the financial center of China at that time, equivalent to Wall Street in the United States today!

Then how do you get there? We were in Linfen, and many trains and high-speed trains would pass Pingyao. After leaving the station, we can go south by navigation, so the traffic is very convenient.

The scenic spot is very big. After entering the ancient city, elderly people who are unwilling to leave or have inconvenient legs and feet can take the sightseeing bus.

It is strongly recommended that tourists who want to go to the surrounding scenic spots, if they are not sure about the route, must ask the staff or the store to avoid wasting time by going the wrong way like us. The key is to consume physical strength.

We stayed there for one night because the scenic spot was too big to visit all day. Because it is close to the high-speed rail, there are many hotels, homestays and hotels, and the price depends on your own acceptance.

Personally, Pingyao ancient city is worth visiting. As soon as the cheongsam coat is worn, the lights are dim, and there is a feeling of crossing back to the Qing Dynasty. The most important thing is that the ancient buildings inside are well preserved, and the main street has a strong commercial atmosphere, but the whole alley has a charm of the old city.

There are four points worth seeing in Pingyao ancient city. As a business person, you should definitely go there.

First of all, the former sites of major banks, such as Rishengchang Bank, can also visit underground banks. Shanxi silver ticket is universal, how to do it? The operation of private banks has begun to take shape as a modern bank. The history of the rise and fall of money houses can give us a lot of enlightenment, including being a man and doing things.

Followed by the county government. The overall pattern is well preserved, including dungeons and prisons. Think of the bank number, is there any enlightenment?

The third is the former site of the escort agency. In ancient times, there were no modern highways, planes and ships for logistics and currency transactions. How to ensure safe arrival? By force alone?

Fourth, the family courtyards of the rich are beautifully built. What kind of luxury houses did the ancient local tyrants live in? Visitors can also sleep on the heatable adobe sleeping platform. Remember today is the national day, it's only over 200, right?

Another thing worth seeing is the hand-made vinegar workshop. Pure manual operation, you can visit and participate in the whole process in detail.

Streets and alleys, old houses and dwellings, architectural style of Qing Dynasty, carved beams and painted buildings, the whole ancient city has a quaint atmosphere. Wearing cheongsam and mandarin jacket, especially when the lights are dim at night, the old street signs and Mugemen shops are antique and really feel like crossing back to my "Qing Dynasty".

Of course, the commercial street is still full of bars, restaurants and shops, and consumption can still be controlled by itself. I am a cool girl, a travel photographer and a hobby.

What are the minor travel problems? Let's discuss them together.

Pingyao ancient city is a very good ancient building. If you like human history as much as I do, go to the ancient city of Pingyao.

We went to Pingyao ancient city the year before last. Although Pingyao ancient city is not as grand and exquisite as the Forbidden City, it is the place where ancient emperors lived after all, and exquisiteness is also necessary. But the ancient city of Pingyao has rich businessmen in Shanxi, county governments, and civilian residences and shops. I think the ancient city of Pingyao feels more grounded.

It can be said that Pingyao ancient city not only has a strong sense of history, but also is a place where ancient people live. There are many residential shops and many delicious foods, among which Pingyao beef is also famous for a long time. And there are various inns, which show the glorious moment of Pingyao at that time.

Among them, the home of wealthy businessmen is also extremely luxurious, which can be said to be smaller than the Forbidden City. The beams and columns of this house are beautifully carved. The furniture in the room is full of fragrance, all revealing luxury.

There are turrets on the wall, and the bricks on the wall are also ancient generous bricks. Stepping on it feels very historical. There are towers above the city gate, all carved with beams and painted columns, which are dazzling. But also has a defensive function, which can resist further aggression.

It can be said that Pingyao ancient city is a famous historical city; It is also a famous cultural city; It is also a famous cultural city; It is also a famous residential city. So Pingyao ancient city is a historic city you should visit once!

First of all, Pingyao ancient city is worth visiting. Only when I went to Pingyao did I know that there was such a well-preserved ancient city. The biggest difference between Pingyao and other ancient cities is that it is a real ancient city, not a rebuilt one. In addition, it also has a unique culture of Shanxi merchants and banks. When you come to Pingyao, what you see is not only a cold building, but a living thing bearing a period of history. Whether it is Rishengchang, Xie Tongqing, or the escort agency that grew up with the ticket number. Here, you can clearly understand that Pingyao, as the Wall Street of China, was no different at that time. But this history brings you endless meditation. Why is such a huge thing finally unknown and classified as dust?

Pingyao, known as "Little Beijing", is located in the middle of Shanxi Province. It is an ancient architectural complex of Ming and Qing dynasties with a history of more than 2,700 years. It is also known as "the four best-preserved ancient cities" with Langzhong, Sichuan, Lijiang, Yunnan and Shexian, Anhui, and is also the second batch of national historical and cultural cities. It is also the only ancient county in China that successfully declared the world cultural heritage with the whole ancient city.

In Pingyao ancient city, all kinds of houses are beautifully built. Pingyao houses are mostly quadrangular, with wide stone steps in front of the door, and some houses even have stone lions guarding the door, which also symbolizes the reputation and status of this family. The lintel and eaves are beautifully carved, which further embodies the architectural style of Ming and Qing Dynasties. The ancient city covers a large area, and it takes two hours to walk through it. The streets of the ancient city are paved roads in Shi Zhuan, with goods on both sides. First, all kinds of objects and delicacies with local characteristics. Although time is no longer, you can still feel the prosperity and excitement of Pingyao ancient city. You can also go to the wall of Pingyao ancient city to overlook the whole ancient city, feel the spirit and inheritance of Shanxi merchants, and have a grand performance of "Looking at Pingyao again", which is even more beautiful.
