To properly experience Pingyao Ancient City, you need to know the right way to travel there

You must be aware! To visit Pingyao Ancient City, you need to be clear about these things, otherwise, you'll really get lost! The four key elements to properly unlocking the journey to Pingyao Ancient City are worth a like and a share! First, besides Pingyao Ancient City, there are actually many scenic areas worth visiting nearby, such as Wang's Grand Courtyard, Qiao's Grand Courtyard, Jinci Temple, Mianshan Mountain, Zhangbi Ancient Castle, and Hukou Waterfall. You can stay in Pingyao Ancient City and cover these surrounding attractions! Second, I recommend that you don't just be a tourist, but also become a resident of Pingyao Ancient City for a while. Besides the pedestrian street, there are so many small alleys and Ming and Qing dynasty courtyards in the ancient city. It's very interesting to walk around! Travel, don't just tour! Third, where you stay is very important. If you want peace and quiet and a good night's sleep, don't pay a high price to squeeze into the main street. There are many quiet, cost-effective guesthouses and inns on the small streets next to the main street that are most charming! I recommend Juyuan Pavilion Inn, which is operated by the owner and located within Pingyao Ancient City. It's quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, and close to the North Gate and Ming and Qing Streets! Fourth, although the snacks in Pingyao are good, don't eat too much of the bubble rice cakes, oat noodles with fish, and other such noodle dishes, as coarse grains are harder to digest! In winter, I recommend trying a small copper hot pot, followed by a few bowls of steaming noodles, which feels amazing! Finally, don't think about how much money you can spend in Pingyao Ancient City. Among the scenic areas visited by the little shopkeeper, Pingyao is really not very expensive! If you think it's expensive, either you haven't chosen the right place, haven't done your homework, or you're just like me, still poor!
