What are the practical travel strategies of Pingyao ancient city?

As one of the four ancient cities, Pingyao ancient city has many scenic spots to visit. Tuanzi will share a perfect travel strategy with you from the aspects of scenic spots, accommodation, transportation and saving money.

Must-see attractions

As a famous ancient city, scenic spots cannot be avoided. The ancient city of Pingyao is very big, and friends who are not prepared may wander around. Tuanzi will first introduce you to several landmark scenic spots, so that you can get to know the inside story of the ancient city first.

1. Pingyao Ancient City Wall

The existing Pingyao ancient city wall is one of the four most intact ancient city walls in China, with a total area of 6157m, which is a great miracle.

Many tourists will choose to start from Yingxunmen in the south, where they can photograph the classic landscape of Pingyao South Street and the tower. Many propaganda photos of Pingyao ancient city were taken from this angle.

But the city wall is closed at night, and Tuanzi wants to climb the city wall to see the night scene at night. As a result, he was told that it was closed at night, which should be for the safety of tourists.

2. Rishengchang Bank

This is also the most famous bank in Pingyao, and it has the title of the first bank in China.

Many Shanxi Merchants Museums will mention Rishengchang when they set up exhibitions. Visitors can see the shadow of contemporary banks here and appreciate the wisdom of the Chinese nation. And it doesn't give people the feeling of extravagance, but it has an elegant and calm feeling, which is very suitable for sightseeing.

3. Confucian Temple College

Gong Xue Confucian Temple is located in the southeast corner of the ancient city. Although remote, it is very quiet.

Pingyao faces south and has four courtyards. There are buildings such as Xingxingmen, Dachengmen, Dachengdian and Mingluntang on the central axis. Among them, Dacheng Hall is the biggest attraction that Tuanzi thinks. It is the main hall of the Confucian Temple and the remains of the Jin Dynasty.

There is an online celebrity punching street outside the Confucian Temple. It feels good to visit jiaozi. You can also drop in when you are out of the Confucian Temple.

4. Pingyao Guxian Duck

This is one of the few well-preserved ancient county offices in China, and the main building was formed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Although the entrance is inconspicuous, it suddenly becomes clear after entering. When you enter a hospital, you can't finish shopping. The whole courtyard covers an area of 26,000 square meters. In front is the trial hall, behind is the county magistrate's inner house, and there is also a narrative hall. Clear division of labor.

Finally, there is a back garden with a pool, which makes jiaozi shine at the moment, because there are few pools in the ancient city.

5. Pingyao peer escort agency

Escort agency is also a major feature of Pingyao ancient city. The escort agency also has a plaque with a blue background and gold paint, which is still hanging in the yard.

There are many physical materials about the activities of guards on display in the escort agency, including escort boxes, escort vehicles, weapons, furniture, wood for daily use, etc. Seeing these objects, it is like personally feeling that at that time, the escort agency was running north and south and making a living at the knife tip.

Among them, the most attractive one is a sword inlaid with precious stones, which is still shining, symbolizing the authority and glory of the guards.

traffic

The traffic in Pingyao is very convenient. There are railway stations and high-speed railway station, but there is no airport. Friends who fly can fly to Taiyuan first, and then take the high-speed train to high-speed railway station and Pingyao. The journey takes about 30-50 minutes.

There is sightseeing bus in the ancient city, so 10 yuan can take it.

Self-driving friends can park their cars in the parking lot, one at the north gate and one at the south gate. The charging standard is 10 yuan for one day.

You can also take a bus to Pingyao ancient city. There are three buses, 1, 102, 103. It takes about 40 minutes to reach the ancient city by car. There are taxis outside the ancient city.

stay

Accommodation in Pingyao ancient city has two aspects.

First, in the ancient city, the accommodation in the ancient city is a distinctive B&B inn, and the price is mostly around 200-300. Tuanzi lives in a special adobe sleeping platform, which is very interesting.

Note that some of these homestays are only a dozen square meters, and may not even have separate bathrooms. This will happen in homestays with very low prices.

Second, outside the ancient city, if you are not interested in the characteristic homestays in the ancient city, you can also live outside the ancient city. They are basically modern hotels, not far from the ancient city, and some are even at the entrance of the ancient city.

Saving money strategy

Most of the pits in Pingyao ancient city are at the gate of the city. Some swindlers will tell you that there are still several kilometers from the parking lot to the ancient city, and recommend you to spend tens of yuan or even more than 100 yuan to take their car into the city. Some people will even tell you that the appointment to enter the city that day is full, and you will not be allowed to enter the city without a car.

But in fact, the real situation is that the parking lot is only a few hundred meters away from the ancient city, and tickets can be arranged on the same day, so it is not a holiday that will not be nervous.

Jiaozi was so cheated. At that time, they parked their car in the parking lot and got on their car for 80 yuan. As a result, they realized that it was only a few hundred meters away.

At the entrance of the scenic spot, some people may sell that accommodation and catering in the city are very expensive and recommend you to buy their products, but in fact, the prices of accommodation and catering in the city are very reasonable, because they are too heavy and some are even cheaper than those outside the city.

After being cheated, jiaozi went directly to the city, ignoring the roadside salesman who said that the consumption in the city was high. After everyone successfully entered the scenic spot, all kinds of pits were avoided by 80% to 90%, and the remaining pits could be avoided with a little attention.

Pingyao ancient city tourism strategy here, the evaluation of ancient city attractions is mixed. Tuanzi suggests that you spend more time, slowly stroll around this ancient city and feel its charm.
