I got up at 7 o'clock in the morning and had breakfast outside the walls of Pingyao Ancient City at 7:30. Taking a bus to the Wang Family Courtyard, we originally paid 40 yuan per person but also had to go to the Qiao Family Courtyard. Due to last night's incident, all charged items were canceled and we went according to the itinerary.



Arrive at the Wang Family Courtyard at 10 o'clock. The Wang Family Courtyard is located in Jinsheng Town, a famous historical and cultural city in China, 12 kilometers east of Lingshi County, Shanxi Province.



The Wang Family Courtyard was built by the Jingsheng Wang family over a period of more than 300 years during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It includes five lanes and six forts and one street, with a total area of ​​250,000 square meters. It is also an architectural art museum with traditional cultural characteristics. . The whole compound is in the shape of double happiness. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit and a 4A-level scenic spot. Many of the Wang Family Courtyards were restored in the later period.



At 12 o'clock, we will go back to Pingyao Ancient City for lunch, and then visit the vinegar factory. Give each person a bottle of vinegar. A group of sisters had fun at the vinegar factory, taking various photos.


At 3:50, head to Pingyao Ancient City. Pingyao Ancient City is located in the central part of Shanxi Province. It was first built in the period of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty and expanded in the third year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1370). It has a history of more than 2,700 years. It also relatively intactly retains the basic features of the county town during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and is the most complete ancient city existing in the Han ethnic area of ​​China.



Throughout the afternoon, we visited the interior of Pingyao Ancient City, climbed the ancient city wall to appreciate the ancient city's style, and visited the Rishengchang Bank, the originator of the Bank of China. Rich people spend a few hundred yuan to play the so-called silver game of collecting silver notes and going to the underground bank to withdraw money, and experience the business activities of Shanxi merchants in those days.








I heard that the beef in Pingyao Ancient City is good, so I bought some, all of which were key meat and tasted good.

After visiting Pingyao, we went to the Agricultural Trade Museum experience area. To put it bluntly, we bought local products. Nowadays, people are smart enough to search the Internet with pictures of packaging. If the price is expensive, don’t buy it, so go buy it online. I tasted a kind of oil tea that was particularly delicious and bought two bags. I bought it online at home, it was much cheaper and tasted the same.

Have dinner at 7pm and return to the hotel at 7:40pm. I’m so tired today. Someone asked me to see the night view of the ancient city of Pingyao, but I can’t see any of it! Washed up and went to sleep. Get up at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning and set off at 5:30.
