Preface: Shanxi from Beijing very close, very suitable for self-motorists to travel, with the increase in cars, people had to go a long journey, more and more highway construction, highway mileage increased, the map often change; last year's Travels this year, may not be suitable; the one hand want to increase the self-driving travels Ctrip, content, want to include routes, traffic, driving time, tolls; attractions tickets, and to draw attention to points. On the other hand I hope I can give you help, serve as a catalyst to see more travels to my new help. Before taking a trip must determine a good route, time; to plan, budget, now inquire, delays, road traffic may be bad. I have recently developed self-driving tour program the Bohai Sea, find a lot of information, if someone wrote a travels, it will save a lot of things; I travel are the primary point to point - line, is now fighting for line to line - plane.
It can be seen from the map from Beijing to Datong, Shanxi - Hengshan - Wutai - Taiyuan - Shijiazhuang - Beijing to form a quadrilateral, if the walk around and can not be no turning back, to do a lot of local tourism. Three Caves Yungang Grottoes in Shanxi, one of the four major Buddhist mountains Mount Wutai in Shanxi, one of the five mountains Hengshan in Shanxi, one of ancient history, also in Shanxi. Pingyao Ancient City, folk Qiao Jia Da Yuan recently is also a great reputation.
During 2002, 51, from driving away the ring, 5 days 4 nights. Some experience to share with you. Total mileage of about 1700 kilometers. Costs about 2200 yuan (two large one small, children would not tickets)
1, Beijing - Datong route: First, take Beijing - Zhangjiakou High-speed, there is no line of the opening of Beijing - Bada Ling - Yanqing (high speed) from the home to Yanqing, about 75 km, high-speed charge 10 yuan (South Exit - Yanqing); Yanqing - Civil Engineering (110 State Road) about 65 km; Civil Engineering - Xuanhua (high speed) about 50 km, charges 20 yuan; longer follow Xuanhua - Datong high-speed, about 185 km, charges 40 yuan Duan, Hebei, Shanxi, para 20.
Traffic: Well, there is no mountain.
Move Time: From inside the home to a total of about 390 km Datong used within 6 hours can go to Datong.
Problems: There is no avoiding hills, and Yanqing Bada pickled blocking the export of high-speed, 51 during the blocking was terrible; starting as early as 6:00 can be avoided. 9:00 more preferably, Changping, after the West closed around the island, a fast take 110 National Road.
Xuanhua city can not go, if you have time, I have read the "Driving Tour Beijing," Xu Yue forward, introduced Xuanhua city, with a few years ago, the ancient city walls not faster, and disappointment. The north of the property may also take a look at, but I just went to the South Tower; Fortunately, behind the ancient city of Pingyao.
2, Datong Tourist Attractions: The most famous is the Datong Yungang Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes is located 16 kilometers west of Datong cloud Gang, the country road next to the original 109, now called with the left road (Datong - Zuoyun). Yungang Grottoes is divided into Eastern, Central and Western District. 5 Cave 6 Cave, I think the best view, 13 Cave, the middle of Buddha sitting cross-legs, like 12 meters high, carved between the right arm and leg disabilities, as there is a prop arm strength listen to tour guide said that in order to support the weight of the arm, carved. 20 Cave, in the Yungang Grottoes in central west corner. Outdoor statues. Lord Buddha statue seated, well-preserved for more than chest, shoulders generous, Sha right bare, face shape Feng Yuan, thin lips aquiline noses, and looked solemn. Backlight large flame pattern, and the seated Buddha, to heaven and other relief are China and the United States to a more energetic Lord Buddha set off vigorous, for the representative works in the Yungang Grottoes. West of the other caves do not have 20 good-looking. A three directors personal travel can save costs, after listening to tour guides to explain, was impressed by the story of Buddha, India, divided into four grades, 1 and so on from the head at birth, 2, etc. from the armpit of birth, 3, etc. from the abdomen at birth, 4 From the soles of the feet such as birth, the Buddha is 2 and so on. Grotto Park toilets clean and does not charge park entrance fees and dirty toilet outside.
Grottoes Travel time: 2 hours should be sufficient; tickets 50 yuan / person;
Shanxi to the right of children for more than 1.3 meters before a prepaid ticket, this time I am really lucky, the children had just 1.3 meters; parking fees in the tourist area of 5 yuan / or 10 yuan.
(I am very, very like the Yungang Grottoes, too beautiful, ancestors left us a heritage, not much can be witnessed. I personally insignificant, time can not be traveled, more money is not possible, as much as possible to the nearest tourist bar. When you see the Buddha weathered, dilapidated landscape, quickly go, or someday will not see. I do not know where 109 State Road is a diversion began, Name Xie annual Buddha statues in 10000 vehicle trips per day coal dust have cast a passing car, and really makes people feel sad for the Big Buddha. Who is benevolence to State Road diversions it?)
There are good from top to bottom Huayan Monastery of Datong Temple, well-preserved nine-dragon screen and the Goddess of Mercy Church. Located in the city center next to Big West and Big East are not far away, and go to hunyuan road must be passed through the great West Street. East has been opened. Just go to the next Huayan Monastery, tickets 10 yuan, did not feel particularly good, generally. Next arrange the time Zaiqu what other city attractions.
Food and accommodation: According to the personal budget accommodation options, I have always thought that drivers often one of the strengths than the backpacker, you can multi-select, you can first observe the room, satisfied obtain other; 51 during the many big hotels are fully booked, preferably in advance appointment. Food do? You can look at the menu, the same drive are not satisfied obtain other; my secret, according to the price of noodle, the normal restaurant is 1.5 yuan / bowls, note the large bowl. If you have small bowls of pricing, the best land exchange quickly. 2 yuan should contain an egg. I've never eaten sliced noodles, this finally eat the. Fitting even the best restaurants, not also for the general public do? And my right to choose to eat in the eating.
Problems: When I returned to Beijing, people asked me to eat Datong, Laiyuan grass jelly, no, sorry I did not know.
3, Datong - hunyuan (Hengshan and Xuankong Si)
Route: along the Grand Street Grand Street, the east has been opened, and have a one bridge, there is a small island, in accordance with the direction signs to go to Beijing, and then there are signs hunyuan 60 kilometers far. Reached a crossroads county hunyuan later, Hengshan road signs and Xuan Kongsi. A small town. To the right and straight ahead along the road signs for the final convergence. Along the direction of the county seat has always been to hunyuan 2 km walk around Hengshan Beiyue palace gate left the road, about 2 km it tries to start climbing, the Department does not regret turning mark Xuankong Si on the road right-hand side. Slope under the parking lot.
Traffic: Start more than 30 km is flat, suddenly there you will find across the mountains, probably Hengshan Mountain. Naturally have more than 20 kilometers mountain. When road conditions are not a problem. All the way there is no charge.
Move Time: 1.5 hours
4, Xuan Kongsi travel Hengshan did not go, tickets are like 15 yuan or 20 yuan; Xuan Kongsi ticket 46 RMB / person; 51 during the long queues, with a 1 hour into it. Inside the mosque also 30,40 minutes. In fact, if cost savings, you can not Mai Menpiao in, in the mountains can also be a photo opportunity underneath; However, you can not see the kind of danger danger unsteadily feel scared meat war, railing height of only calf high! Perhaps in the future not allowed to enter the Xuan Kongsi. Read Xuan Kongsi really admire the ancestral wisdom.
5, Xuan Kongsi - Wutai Mountain Route: There are two;
A, return to hunyuan county, Zai Qu Ying County, the direction, you can visit Yingxian Wooden Tower. Zaiqu the direction of Changhe Town, Wutai Mountain sand. I asked the traffic police Xuan Kongsi how to Wutai Mountain, the traffic police are being told I should county roads, take route B, which I later heard that someone take the A line, in no way should be near the county the past, the trailer has spent 300 yuan! Now about road repaired bar. Fees do not know, there is also a 10 yuan 20 yuan.
B, continue on the road, the tunnel through the Hengshan, to large camps, has come to State Road 108, west to open to the sand Town (Wutai Mountain Railway Station). Since the sand Changhe Town into the mountains. From the map to see this line recently. About 90 kilometers. Until 5:20 p.m., Changhe Town, dark past will be able to sand bar. I was so open later, the traffic I can not remember a lifetime! No charges Dao Shi.
Hengshan the tunnel is not long, 1,2 km or so, but the most terror, bumpy, no reflectors, loess flying! Really worried car breaks down, how to do without breathing masks, horror! Out of the tunnels rotten breath. You can see the Hengshan reservoirs. Not far from the south gate at the front of the Hengshan, move on along the road turning. Road, or bad, bumpy, but then I know why the bad road conditions before this road is a coal line, on the one hand seriously damaged the other hand, the farmers in order to pick coal deliberately destroying the road, so coal car coal shed. Alas, I blame no prior research is good, car speed of 20 km, I am increasingly worried about are not familiar with mountain walking after dark. Finally 8:00 came fast large camps, ask for directions, Changhe Town, 30 km from the sand, and sand better than here Changhe Town, food and accommodation. Changhe Town, the road to the sand roads are Ping Road. However, from sand to the Wutai Mountain Village Changhe Town, another mountain. Changhe Town, seems we can only live in the sand. Safety First. Sand Changhe Town Accommodation too dark, and 51 during the soaring housing prices, usually 60 yuan, the asking price 160. In the Wutai Mountain Hotel (sand Changhe Town of) went so far as standard room 450 yuan, it seems Beijing four star hotel only 380 (price). No way, sand is Changhe Town, Wutai Mountain Railway Station.
From the sand to the Wutai Mountain Changhe Town Center, Hill Road. Good road conditions. Cement pavement. A distance of 50 km. May 4 Peak there is snow. It seems certainly cool in summer. Yamaguchi is not far down the toll booths into the mountains Mount Wutai 50 yuan, according to newspaper reports in June, has risen to 75.
6 Wutai Mountain tour I did not investigate because of prior arrangements for travel, attractions. Trouble of a joke. Wutai Mountain is, by definition there are five sets of five hills bar. I only planned 1 day tour Wutai Mountain, go to that station then? May be Badachu go too much. In fact, most temples in Taiwan, Wye town Taihuai about five fold from the bar. Does not require a lot of mountain climbing. Wutai Mountain Buddhism is indeed one of the four holy places, I think we should come to a "Guilaibukan Wutai Temple." Carefully would like to schedule one days too few. But in the future I will certainly need to go to Wutai Mountain.
Places of Interest: Five Zen at Wutai Mountain
Xian Tong Temple, a temple in Wutai Mountain Zhu, Hin Tong Temple, the largest clock tower in front of his family make a wish. Tickets are 6 yuan 2 Tayuan Baita Temple, the introduction of the tall fascinating, people see it as a sign of Wutai Mountain. 4 yuan tickets for the North Sea and the White Pagoda Temple in Beijing Baita much smaller than it. Baita Falun can move under the ring. I do not know whether the family wishes to achieve.

Dai Luoding on Wye Town to the peaks of Mount Wutai Taiwan from the Taiwan Huai vertical height of about 400 meters. Eastern Taiwan back under its peak, facing Taiwan Huai basin, overlooking the four sets faint peak near table mountain temple within the picturesque terrain of towering, beautiful scenery. Cooper Temple District, trees, mountain flowers bloom. Cable car up 16 yuan. Tickets 3 yuan. When walking down a nun, two people saw it in step 3 a prayer. Roaming the real monk, from the Qinghai; Wutai Mountain is the monks feel uncomfortable selling tickets, ticket collector.
Problems: Wutai Mountain parking, we should note that not every temple parking lot have been closed, the local farmers say it is charged, parked in the parking lot Taihuai the town monastery complex could be due a walk just exercise.
If only the words to the Wutai Mountain Wutai Mountain, the road into the mountains there are 3, North Road, Changhe Town, to the sand; southeast road to Fuping (South); south-west road to Wutai County, bean town, you can Quwang Taiyuan (West), also can be bean town north Fan rely.
Beijing to Wutai Mountain North and South 2 Road, North of Beijing in Hebei which Laiyuan segment was divided into North and South 2 Road, to the post-merged into the way Laiyuan.
Beijing to Wutai Mountain Road, about 450 kilometers of major roads is a national highway, which accounted for most mountain roads, only sand river in Shanxi Province to the Shen Tang Fort more than 40 kilometers and 20 kilometers east of Laiyuan is flat road, the road is narrow, From Beijing Shijingshan in Beijing tells the original crossing the country on the 108 in Beijing, the car circled Baihuashan the west, along the mountains python Python, vegetation-rich, although the narrow national highway, but the formation of dark complexion. Crossed by several major mountain pass and traveled about 250 kilometers, arriving Laiyuan, move on into the territory of Shanxi, through the Village, Shen Tang Fort folded into the sand river to the south, into the veins Wutai Mountain, the highest point is Mount Wutai Highway northern Taiwan, and Taitung pass between. Yamaguchi May 4 can also see the snow.
To the Wutai Mountain are also available from Beijing-Shijiazhuang Expressway from Beijing to speed off to the next Gaobeidian Yixian, from the Yixian zijingguan to ripple through the source, in the South for the North. Gaobeidian to Laiyuan is 112 National Highway, arrive for the plain before Yixian Road, over the mountains of the Yixian entered.
Beijing - Wutai Mountain is from the South to the Beijing-Shijiazhuang Expressway, Hebei Dingzhou, and then transferred by the provincial Quyang, Fuping, longquanguan into Shanxi, from south to north into the Wutai Mountain.
7, Mount Wutai - Taiyuan, about 250 km route: Take the West Road coming out better than walking. The north, was not a high mountain a short distance, Taiyuan travel agency told me more than 3 hours can go to Taiyuan, the actual go more than 4 hours. Or add themselves strangers in dark, cars are also different.
The first is the direction of the direction of Wutai County, bean town, 30 km mountain, to the bean town, and then the direction of the important signs of Xinzhou 92 kilometers, to the Xinzhou continue to move (the West) about 4 km to go before Uehara flat - Taiyuan High-speed (in the future should be Datong - Taiyuan high-speed) high-speed 80 km, charges 30 yuan. Traffic no problem. To Taiyuan, the first one to export of high-speed, and the second exit on a high-speed precisely, Chaoyang Street, Chaoyang Street West at the end of the railway station only 2 km away from Taiyuan, accommodation easy.
8, Taiyuan - Qixian (Qiao Jia Da Yuan) - near the ancient city of Pingyao, Taiyuan travel 100 kilometers, it is best to understand the story of the Spring and Autumn, Spring and Autumn Chinese festival and the largest number of Ching Ming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival; Idiom and the Spring and Autumn the Most, like my last school students were selected from the Spring and Autumn the largest classical Chinese, I would most like his life, "far and wide the Eastern Zhou Zhi", read a few dozen times, is still often see, I often think if the Chinese people have first saint, Pantheon then we should be in the Jin (Shanxi) Taiyuan is the provincial capital more appropriate. Qilu earth Qin saints are not saints, as well as the multi-Shanxi, but too many people today forget our roots, and if we have the Spring and Autumn of the quality of ... ... Oh. Tourism promotion Qixian little inside nepotistic and outside can not raise his son Qi Shi Bichou the tomb of the compound in the QIAO Jia-down the profile.
Route: Taiyuan - Xiaodian District - East view of the town (Qiao Jia Da Yuan) - Pingyao; signs very clear.
Charges: shop toll station 5 million (return 10 yuan), East View 5 yuan toll roads: excellent, rainy day to open to 110, National Road 108 and National Road 208
Admission: 30 yuan Qiao Jia Da Yuan, travel time :3-4 hours, said Wang's Grand Courtyard greater; Qiao Jia Da Yuan was almost destroyed in the Cultural Revolution, it is worth a go, too many tourists. Qiao Shi ancestors, penniless, and later became big businessmen, people with the same time, fortune, and their offspring Chihepiaodu, Prodigal, and have nothing left; two generations do not know whether the fate of the film, as Ge, I would like to is "alive" rather than "Raise the Red Lantern." Film director Zhang did not know which of the first films, whether they are inspired, whether it shared?
Pingyao City does not charge a separate fee from tourist attractions the city. Note that you can not buy packages. Shopping in Taiyuan supermarkets can buy.
Pingyao Attractions introduced on the tour so much. Pingyao should stay one night to play 2 days. Cars into the city during the day can not be at night can be. The only well-preserved ancient city! Trade names, ticket numbers, dart number, Yamen, temple, all good, "was" all go to one is enough. Clock Tower 5 yuan worth, it should be 15 yuan on the wall, tired, did not go.
Because of the time limit did not go to Jiexiu city (county?) Mianshan, Mianshan only 40 kilometers away from Pingyao. Certain arrangements for the next time. Mianshan is the Ching Ming Jie Zaitui hero of the memorial. Chong Er Jie Zitui follow fair-weather, then the country When the monarch Chong Er Fu, Jie Zitui ashamed to credit those who covet the company of and willing to poor, in the Mianshan not escape, were burnt to death. Posterity to commemorate him, a day does not eat up a fire. Sages! I today all the bandits are trying to conquer, only I sit, sit sit his son finished.
Further south line can go to Linfen, turn west to the Yellow River Hukou Jixian. Driving time is approximately 8 hours, Jixian - Hukou is the mountain, time did not go. Linfen continued south, there may be Jin gucheng not heard of introduction, may have broken the.
Taiyuan Changfeng Street, East end of the Pegasus has a bronze sculpture of a road east Shanxi Fanzhuang, decoration is also very good, inexpensive, a 3 to spend 56 a copy can not eat it, Fanzhuang next to a large supermarket, parking yards, you can buy a lot of Shanxi specialties, along Changfeng Street West, go, see Jinci road signs, over the Fen River (Fen River in Taiyuan City area wearing a north-south direction) to the south can go jinci. About 25 km.
9 Taiyuan - Jinci - high-speed entrance - Shijiazhuang - Taiyuan City, the area along the Beijing Jinci Road, southbound on the way passing through Taiyuan South Central Expressway (in the future should be Taiyuan - Yinchuan high-speed). High-speed entrance is not marked, you may need to continue the construction, there is no sign people inconvenienced. Then has been about 8 kilometers to go see the toll station, turn right, turn left about 1 km Jinci Park parking lot (if you go straight and then turn left should be able to bypass the Jinci Park.) Jinci on to the park entrance. There is no toll booths. Traffic in general. Jinci pm Park and Museum. Usually refers to Jinci Jinci Museum.
Finally go to Jinci advantage is that the day to return to Beijing, Jinci morning, noon dinner, 1:00 p.m. start at 7,8 point home.
Admission: 5 yuan Jinci parks, museums Jinci 30 yuan. Travel time: 3 hours.
Went to the Jinci really profound feeling for the history of the Ming and Qing only pediatrics, exquisite wall paintings in northern Jinci! Suihuai, Tanghuai towering old trees, the southern temple once again to see the Buddha from birth to the Buddha of the murals, he made a full memory of living in the story, this mural is so new; Central good-looking, too many tourists, camera all to well . See Sheng Mudian of Beaulieu, really shocked feeling. 3000 years of Zhou Bo, difficult story of the old springs, ancient marsh beam overpass flying fish, and so on.
Return: All the high-speed, fees, Taiyuan South Central High Speed 5 Yuan, Shi-Tai high-speed 230 km, 50 yuan of Shanxi, Hebei, para 25 yuan; 260 km high-speed Beijing-Shijiazhuang, Hebei, paragraph 60 yuan, the Beijing Du Jiakan 10 per hour. Half-way there in Baoding Baoding - Tianjin high-speed, can go to Tianjin.
5 days has always been a man driving tired, Shi-Tai high-speed can make a high-speed go to Dazhai, Shijiazhuang, there are many attractions nearby.
Problems: only stands to reason you can not enter Jinci Park, if the awareness of road, you can route around them.
Service area in Shanxi Yangquan rest, no rest in Shijiazhuang service area, 90 km inside the anxious wait till the TSA.
Photos 1:110 national highway civil engineering - high-speed signs Xuanhua Photo 2: Datong to hunyuan a small island that Beijing directions Photo 3: Yungang Grottoes 13 Cave Photo 4: hunyuan county roundabout, go straight and turn right can go Xuankong Si photo 5: Xuan Kongsi Photo 6: Wutai Mountain, pictures taken from the opposite Dai Luoding 7: bean town, 92 kilometers left to go on the Xinzhou-speed, straight ahead, it also could go to Xinzhou, is said to bad road conditions, but the map is a provincial highway.
Photo 8: Taiyuan Changfeng Street, East end of the copper Pegasus, corner is a sign of the supermarket.
Note: I really want to mention Ctrip for advertising, tourism is a professional.
I personally think that our route: Beijing - Datong - Hengshan - Ying County - the original flat - Yanmenguan - Fan rely - doucun - Wutai - Taiyuan - Pingyao - Taiyuan - Beijing time, arrangements are different for each person, self-choice. Time can also be arranged Hebei attractions.
, Taiyuan - Pingyao can also walk around, Taiyuan - Jinci - days Yongsan - Jiaocheng - Kawakita - Pingyao - Qixian - Taiyuan. Taiyuan morning, starting in the evening just to live Pingyao. Perhaps there is no development Fenyang attractions, tickets cheaper. Fenyang - Jiexiu (Mianshan) - Pingyao constituted a small triangle. If you have time, want to see. Wutai Mountain near the former residence of Xu Xiangqian, Yan Xishan's former residence, as well as Pingxingguan, road signs is less clear.
Self-driving trip Recommendation
D0: leave Beijing at 17:30, 23:30 to live within the walk-in Datong hotels;
D1: the morning of Yungang Grottoes, Datong, or hunyuan lunch at noon, afternoon Hengshan Xuan Kongsi, should County Wooden Pagoda in the evening to live Wutai Mountain;
D2: Wutai Mountain monastery complex in the evening went to Taiyuan, Taiyuan to live;
D3: Qiao Jia Da Yuan morning, noon lunch Pingyao, Pingyao pm; evening return to Taiyuan; shopping;
D4: Jinci the morning sky Yongsan, Taiyuan noon lunch, afternoon return to Beijing.
I know people use 3 days 2 nights tour, Beijing - Datong Yungang Grottoes - Hengshan Xuan Kongsi - Ying County - Wutai - Taiyuan - Pingyao - Taiyuan - Beijing. Too caught up with him. Do burn the midnight oil, Mountain roads are dangerous.
