I plan to travel from Beijing to Shanxi by car before the Spring Festival. I have four days to go back to Hengshui. How to arrange it? How many places can I go?

Route: Beijing → Niangziguan → Yuci, Taiyuan → Qiaojia Courtyard in Qixian County → Pingyao Ancient City.

Distance: about 1500 km.

Day 1: Beijing → Beijing-Shijiazhuang Expressway → Shijiazhuang → Taiyuan

Depart at 8: 00 in the morning, pass Shi Jing Expressway and arrive at Shijiazhuang at about 12. Then turn to Shitai Expressway, cross Niangziguan, enter Shanxi, arrive in Taiyuan at 3 pm, and stay in Taiyuan that night.

The first day is mainly about driving, so try not to delay too much time on the road, especially for beginners who drive slowly, so prepare the lunch for the first day before departure.

Travel tip: The road conditions in Beijing have been very good. After Baoding, the road conditions began to deteriorate. It should be noted that the section from Shanxi to Taiyuan has many continuous bends and many uphill and downhill slopes, so you need to be more careful and pay attention to safety.

The next day: Taiyuan → 108 National Road → Qiao Family Courtyard → Pingyao.

Depart from Taiyuan the next morning, take the 108 national highway, drive for about 1 hour, and arrive at the first destination of this trip-Qiaojia Courtyard in Dongguan Town near Qixian County. Tickets to the Qiao Family Courtyard in 35 yuan. Brick carving, wood carving and stone carving unique to Shanxi architecture in the yard are very beautiful and worth seeing. But there is a problem. Too many tourists may affect the feeling of "deep house compound" for tourists.

After visiting the Qiao Family Courtyard, go on for about100km, and you will reach Pingyao at noon. There are many antique hotels in the ancient city, and the prices are not expensive, especially in many places where traditional houses have been changed into inns. Most tourists who come here will choose to stay in the ancient city.

Travel Tips: Now Pingyao Ancient City is a national protected unit, so you can only park your car in the parking lot outside the city and walk to the ancient city. Because there are many passengers and the accommodation is often full, it is best to call in advance to make a reservation before coming.

Day 3: Pingyao → Wang Family Courtyard → Jinci → Pingyao.

On the third morning, I drove to Wang Jia Courtyard in Lingshi, which is an hour's drive from the ancient city. The Wang Family Courtyard consists of two courtyards: Hongmenbao and Gaojiaya. There are more than 50 courtyards and 1000 rooms. The whole yard is like a small town. The Wang Family Courtyard is very distinctive. Many hanging flower doors, wood carvings and stone carvings are exquisite, and almost every step has allusions. It is best to hire a tour guide at the door to explain.

After lunch in the Wang family courtyard, I set off for Jinci. Jinci is also a place with many stories. It was founded in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it is called "Three Unique Poems of Song Dynasty" with the statue of maid sculpted in Sui, Huai, Nan and Song Dynasties. After a day's shopping, I went back to Pingyao Ancient City Inn to stay that night.

Travel Tips: The Wang Family Courtyard is too big, so you must see the scenery selectively when you visit, otherwise you will not be able to visit it all day. Jinci is divided into Jinci Park and jinci museum. Jinci Park doesn't need to go in. Jinci museum is behind Jinci Park. You can drive directly to avoid wasting money. Consider spending 30 yuan with a tour guide.

The fourth day

Go back to Taiyuan-Shijiazhuang-Hengshui first. It's all expressway.
