The aftereffects of traveling to Pingyao are tremendous, listen to my genuine feelings!

I've been to Pingyao N+1 times! Sharing a no-pitfall travel guide!!! ⭕️ All the attractions in the ancient city are in the off-season Including Rishengchang, the County Government Office, the Confucian Temple, the Ancient City Wall, Shuanglin Temple, etc. ⭕️ Discounts are available for students or the elderly, among others. ✅ 2-day 1-night city walk itinerary🚶: Day1⃣: County Government Office → City God Temple → Confucian Temple → South Street (Escort Agency and Xietongqing) → Qingxu Taoist Temple → Rishengchang Day2⃣: Erlang Temple → Ancient City Wall (enter from the North Gate, exit from the West Gate) → See Pingyao Again → Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple → Return trip (adjust direction according to the starting point) ✅ Transportation: 🚄 High-speed train arrives at 'Pingyao Ancient City Station', which is about ten-plus kilometers away from the ancient city, requiring a ride on bus 108 or a taxi. 🚂 Train arrives at 'Pingyao Station', about a fifteen-minute walk from the West Gate, no need for a bus. 🚗 If driving, park in one of the parking lots around the ancient city, very convenient! Pingyao does not have an airport, the nearest airport is Taiyuan Wusu ✈️ Airport! ✅ Summarized 8 tips to avoid pitfalls! Save it for your trip! ❶ The most photogenic places include four main streets, the Market Tower and the City Tower, as well as many undeveloped alleys. Pingyao Ancient City is known as the best-preserved ancient city in China! ❷ There are a lot of portrait photography shops, everyone must discern carefully, choose a shop with a good reputation, I did my research and went to Yunjintang, the results were satisfying, I recommend sisters to check it out. ❸ Remember to wear a pair of comfortable flat shoes, there are many scattered attractions in Pingyao, and it will be tiring after a day of walking. ❹ The night view is a must-see, and the 3D light show at Yingxunmen Square at 8 pm is very impressive. ❺ For dining, you can choose time-honored restaurants, such as Hongwuji, Dongji Chaobowl Detach. Or go to the snack street near the West Gate. ❻ For accommodation, the first choice is the inns within the ancient city, which are plentiful and inexpensive during the off-season, you can find them in the alleys for good value. If you prefer chain hotels, you can go to the West Gate or South Gate. ❼ For local products, go to specialty stores, and for branded items, you can choose Guanyun for beef, and Yonglonghao for promoting lacquerware. ❽ For items in the scenic area, learn to bargain hard, remember to haggle fiercely!
