The courtyard is very nice, which is the highlight. It is a little far from the main area. If you are tired of walking around, you can't avoid spending money to take a bus back to the hotel. The facilities in the B&B room are a bit old, the bathroom is very small, and the design of the space is a bit difficult to turn around. The bed is not covered with a quilt on the bed sheet. The quilt is folded. I didn't dare to sleep directly, so I spread the bed sheet I brought with me.

During the May Day holiday, I took my parents and children to Pingyao Ancient City. I wanted my family to experience the feeling of a Shanxi merchant courtyard homestay. The courtyard layout was full of age, and the boss was very enthusiastic and picked us up several times. I felt the hospitality of the Shanxi people.

The room is very warm and comfortable. The kang is heated. It is about 600 to 700 meters away from the north gate. The owner is very nice and enthusiastic to help with luggage. It is very quiet, clean and tidy.

The room was very clean and tidy. good environment! Under the wall, very close to the north gate. It’s not too far to walk to the old street. Mainly a quiet one. Quieter than the B&Bs in the old streets. The boss is also very nice. kind. I will choose here again next time I come!

The house is of standard Jinzhong style and is very distinctive. Also very clean and tidy. The small yard is also great. Mainly because the boss is nice. Because vehicles are not allowed to enter the ancient city. So I parked at the parking lot at the north gate of the ancient city. I didn’t know how far it was from where I was staying. After arranging for the elderly and children to pick up their luggage from the car, the boss personally took it there on a scooter and then used the scooter to pull the suitcases back to the store. Before I made the reservation, I read reviews saying that the owner was very nice. This time I saw the legendary enthusiasm of the people in Pingyao.

It was very comfortable to stay in the inn. Uncle is a very nice person and very enthusiastic. I experienced the local pits and slept very comfortably. Uncle is very warm-hearted. I will come back next time if I have the opportunity.
