How to play in Pingyao Ancient City

I just went there yesterday. The ancient city of Pingyao now implements a pass system. It costs 150 yuan per person. There are 19 scenic spots. You can't see them all in one day. If you need accommodation, it is best to order accommodation online. Search online. There are many. When purchasing tickets, you need an ID card or student ID. Children 1.2-1.4 meters tall and seniors aged 60-70 years old are half-ticketed at 75 yuan with their IDs. Military officers' IDs, press IDs, and seniors aged 70 and over are free of charge. The ticket is valid for three days after watching it in one day, and you can punch a hole in a tourist attraction. Personally, I think many attractions are similar and you don’t need to visit every attraction. The ancient city is square, with a length and width of 1.5 meters, but you must take a battery car. Yesterday, there were 7 of us (4 adults, 3 children). There is no charge for children. Adults are 20 yuan each, and the battery car is 80 yuan. There is no time limit. The driver sister explained to us while driving. When we went to the scenic spots, the eldest sister was waiting outside. Later, the eldest sister introduced her college student son to us as a free tour guide. He was an intern and his explanation was not good. I haven’t memorized the guide words, but it’s free and very good! Personally, I don’t recommend hiring a tour guide. There are many tour guides explaining each attraction. Just pay for it for free. It’s the same. However, only those who have lived in the ancient city for many years can tell the history of the ancient city. Take it from three points to seven. The lectures, especially the historical stuff, will make you sigh after listening to them. After more than 4 hours, we still had to rush, so we left the ancient city. The eldest sister asked for 80 yuan, which was very worth it.

We didn’t eat in the ancient city. After we got off the bus, we ate outside the ancient city. It’s very cheap just a few minutes’ walk from the ancient city. It’s called “Wan Tuo” and costs 3 yuan per bowl. It can be fried or fried. It can be eaten cold and it feels like Shaanxi noodles, which is quite delicious.

I didn’t watch the show. Most of them were from around 9 o’clock to 3 o’clock in the afternoon. I didn’t see a fixed time. If you catch up, you can catch up. If you don’t, it doesn’t matter. TV I’ve seen it all before, and again, the important thing is the historical accumulation and the tour guide’s explanation.

There are many places to burn incense in the ancient city. If you don’t want to go there, forget it. We didn’t go there. Please note that in the Confucian Temple (there is a free tour guide in the temple), they will take you to play, and you don’t have to take pictures. They will urge you, but the tour guide will take you to worship the Kuixing - the number one star. After three worships, you can draw lots for free. All the lots will be drawn, and someone will interpret the lot for you for free, but everyone will say that there are flaws in it. For example, you can The development is better than now, the children are smarter, etc. You need to pay for the incense, which ranges from 100 to 300 yuan per stick. We did not go and left.

In addition, Pingyao is the hometown of Shenzhou-9 astronaut Liu Wang. There is his middle school here - Pingyao Middle School

If you want to stay, be sure to book online in advance. There are many people here. Yes, there are many foreigners. Of course, accommodation can be in the city or outside the city. Be sure to ask clearly.

Hope it helps you
