1. For lunch, you can go to the Gulou sliced noodles at the northeast corner of Gulou East Street in the Ping Urban area of Datong City, at an average of 24 yuan per person. Take this opportunity to take a look at the Drum Tower

About 90 kilometers and the driving time is one and a half hours. The tour time is less than 3 hours. (Lunch is served nearby, 30 yuan per person)

3. Drive to Pingyao Ancient City. When passing through Taiyuan, choose a good hotel in advance (Hanting Hotel Taiyuan Nangong Plaza Branch, big bed and twin beds are about 150 to 160 yuan). After arriving in Taiyuan, check in directly. After checking in, I recommend going to the famous Renyili Restaurant (100 meters east of the southbound intersection of Nanzhong Ring Street and Tiyu Road Crossing, No. 156 Qiaotou Street, Liuxiang, opposite Baidu Mingzhu) for dinner. Renyili's steamed dumplings are very famous. The average person is about 40 yuan. (If there are elderly people, it is recommended to go to No. 22, Jiefang Road, Yingze District, Hongbin Building, on the first floor of Halal Catering. The roast duck is bright in color, crispy in skin and tender in meat, and it feels extremely satisfying to eat.) 70 yuan per capita.

Taiyuan has no special scenery to watch at night.

4. You must go to Qingheyuan for breakfast the next day. Qingheyuan is very famous for its mind. Only breakfast is served at 22 yuan per bowl.

It is about 28 kilometers away from Taiyuan City and the tour time is about 2 or 3 hours. Jinci and Jinci Park are not the same place, not far away (one kilometer)

5. After the tour, drive to Pingyao Ancient City (known as the "Four Most Well-preserved Ancient Cities"). The distance is about 80 kilometers and it takes about one and a half hours. It is recommended to get off the highway from the Pingyao Exit (there are exits in Pingyao South and Pingyao West, but these two off-highways are provincial highways and are easy to take the wrong road). Book accommodation in advance, or you can book it later when you arrive (Recommendation: Pingyao Yonghuage Humanities Inn, No. 15 Mijia Lane, Gucheng Nei South Street, price including breakfast: about 190 yuan for a large bed, about 200 yuan for a multiple bed). Vehicles are not allowed to enter the ancient city. Vehicles must be parked in the parking lot outside the ancient city and entered the ancient city on foot.

6. Recommended Tianyuan Kui restaurant (Pingyao beef, honey yam, fat beef roast grandma, beef chestnut tholow, balsamic vinegar eggs, Changlong eggplant) at 69 yuan per person on the evening of that day. Depending on the dining time, morning and evening and the level of fatigue, choose to visit the streets of ancient city at night.

7. You can buy tickets for the ancient city the next day. The pass is 150 yuan. The ticket for the ancient city is composed of 22 small attractions in the ancient city, which is what we often call an attraction pass. By purchasing this pass, all attractions in the ancient city can be entered and seen, such as climbing the city wall, ticket number, escort agency, county government, Confucian Temple, etc. Of course, if you do not plan to buy tickets, then there is no problem shopping on the streets of the ancient city.
