What practical suggestions and strategies can you share to take the elderly to Shanxi?

Many old people have never really traveled in their lives, so many friends want to take their grandparents out to play while they are resting. So what should I pay attention to if I want to take my grandparents to Shanxi?

First, do a good job in advance.

Most elderly people prefer to go to some ancient towns and some historical attractions. I suggest you do some strategies in advance to find out the preferences of the elderly. I personally recommend taking them to Pingyao Ancient City and Yuci Ancient City, which are rich in cultural heritage. First, it is more suitable for the preferences of the elderly. Second, you don't have to climb mountains. Wutai Mountain is indeed a good scenic spot, but it is not suitable for the elderly to visit. After all, I am too old to climb such a high mountain.

Second, prepare all kinds of essential drugs.

If you travel to Shanxi from other places, you are most afraid of acclimatization, especially the elderly, whose stomachs are fragile, and most of Shanxi's delicacies are heavy oil and spicy, which still irritates the stomachs of the elderly. I suggest you bring some stomach-invigorating and digestion-promoting tablets or montmorillonite powder.

Some old people get carsick by car. They can take some carsickness medicine and some other necessary travel medicine, such as cold medicine, band-aid, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, etc. When the old people are not as uncomfortable as the young people, they can also carry them. Once the old people feel unwell during the trip, they can take medicine immediately to stabilize it.

Third, it is recommended to report to the group.

There are many tour groups for the elderly now, and so is Shanxi tourism. It is suggested that you can consult more tour groups and join the group tour with the elderly, because most of the tour guides who have taken the elderly tour are very experienced. In case of accidents on the way, they can respond in time, which will be more reassuring than taking the elderly out alone.

Fourth, choose areas with relatively concentrated scenic spots.

As we all know, the scenic spots in Shanxi are very scattered. Therefore, if you take the elderly to Shanxi, you must try to choose areas with concentrated scenic spots, because the elderly are not suitable for long-distance travel or walking too much because of physical reasons, and their knees can't stand it.

I personally recommend going to Datong, Taiyuan and Jincheng. The scenic spots in these three areas are relatively concentrated, and most of them are suitable for the elderly. Like Datong, there are Datong Ancient City Wall, Shanhua Temple, Aviation Temple and Yungang Grottoes. Taiyuan has Jinci, Donghu Vinegar Garden, Baiyun Temple and Fenhe Park. Jincheng has Imperial City Xiangfu, Gao Ping Ling, Taiyang Ancient Town and Liu Dwellings. These scenic spots are more suitable for the elderly to walk and play with less burden on their knees.
