July 25 train 13:46 Yichang to separate from Linfen. Ben Guest House and then to exchange tickets two hours and a half lunch break, shampoo wash clothes. 20. Train very new, non-air-conditioned. There were very few passengers a high quality. Ride the train this journey feels like a vacation.
7:04 the morning of July 26 arrived in Linfen, to long-distance bus station, take bus Jixian County of Linfen to buy tickets at 7:30, 8:20 originating car parking in the Yaomiao pick up passengers at more than 20 minutes. Had known this would simply drive directly to the Yao Miao, 11 Bus can be Yaomiao. Car to the station head, roads are not opened to traffic on both sides of Linfen Jixian car docking. Linfen to Jixian more than three hours by car one day, I walked to the Dages county is three in the afternoon. Shaanxi returned home with two people, a trip to see Hukou Waterfall of people take a break from a partner car rental to the waterfall and four 70 yuan. More than one hour drive to Falls, tickets 25 yuan / person. Hukou Waterfall in Shanxi and Shaanxi have an entry in Shaanxi side looks better. Iron chain bridge at the waterfall edge and stay there.
I imagine the spectacular waterfall is not, presumably by "Red River Valley" effects too deep. Falls and then finished reading the 30 yuan to pay the driver who returned with the mission Jixian, late at eight to Dages counties, places bus stop opposite the newly opened hotel in Hukou, 15 yuan / person, clean and comfortable. At night to see a cave to find the cave structure and people's lives.
** Linfen 6:00 a long-distance car to Yan'an, channels Hukou Waterfall. Jixian Linfen shuttle back to the latest 16:30.
July 27 to 11:20 am 6:30 am shuttle Linfen, parking Yao Miao.
** I meant to go from Linfen Lingshi to see Wang's Grand Courtyard later to Taiyuan, I do not go to Wang's Grand Courtyard of the specific bus information, from Linfen to Lingshi is the afternoon after the car rental to go to Wang's Grand Courtyard Taiyuan, feeling not sure. Shuttle bus from the Three Gorges to the Hukou are private contractors, do not drive away do not filled, indeed, I ate some bitterness, and he changed the meaning intended not to look looking QIAO Jia Wang, QIAO Jia-side of the road, there will be no accident . But I finally chose to see the Royal, after all, China's feudal era of hierarchical, there is no office and financial resources are not eligible for quite a considerable scale of housing construction, QIAO Jia is a business, of course, can not, and more than Royal.
Because long-distance vehicles can not stop Yao Miao is Yaomiao traffic police intercepted the car for me, 25 yuan Iveco at 15:00 to reach the ancient city of Pingyao.
Places where I do not say they do not want to advertise for the home. Pingyao city Inn a lot, you can gradually pick. Standard Room 60 yuan on the transaction, if the standard rooms are Tai Kang, you can sleep four people, split down the price cheaper. Look at the house when they should look the best, because most of the ancient residential alterations, although the same as the standard, the grade can be completely different style, elegantly decorated windows and doors are big and airy live there is a kind of enjoyment, otherwise it is a kind of torture. To Pingyao tours are numerous, mostly living outside the city, the Inn of the spare room is still Tingduo.
Inside the ancient city ticket number, Biaoju, etc., may choose to look at it is strongly recommended to see Pingyao County Yamen, very well preserved, which has simulated Shengtang drama, very funny. Tickets are 20 yuan / person, students half-price ticket.
In the ancient north gate there is a bike rental, deposit 100 yuan, 5 yuan / day. If you do not want to be asked at the North Gate Inn and the nearby rental shops, they have a bicycle the same price is also willing to rent to tourists. Cycling is a pleasure visiting the ancient city is said to ride in the walls, I asked the wall and selling of votes at the time said no, do not know is not the same as management of the different gates.
Recommendations to Shuanglin Temple, 6 km of town. I ride a bike 30 minutes, if there are a few people, you can rent a small four-wheeled, 15 yuan can be traded. Tickets are 18 yuan / person, students half-price, but the two together to buy one, because the nominal price is 18 yuan. Temple town 12 kilometers away from the city, I did not go.
July 29
7:38 train to Lingshi, 10 yuan / person. The decision will go to Wang's Grand Courtyard, watch China's first residential areas.
I know that bus to go, but asked where the car can not. Station staff do not want to offend drivers, Shanxi, it is very bad, if they got entangled in a solicitation even if the police also asked to find less than useful information, they will tell you to go or sit rental CMB private contractors. Many people naturally there is nothing wrong, I do not consider the cost implications of a need to consider security issues, it is impossible to go anywhere car rental.
Find hotel wraps are also a lot of trouble when even his own to find suitable accommodation because they were soliciting followed turned into a pull come. Numerous annoyance.
Car rental 15 yuan to Wang's Grand Courtyard, tickets are 45 yuan / person, students half-price 23 yuan. Few visitors, if do not want to remember the words of their own or with a guide with the tour you hear allusions, or wasted. Wang's Grand Courtyard there is a line of cars from the compound and Lingshi county, 1 yuan / person, vehicle trips frequently. In Linfen - Pingyao Lingshi Road junction under the flyover to get off the bridge, take a long distance to go Yuci Che Fu Pingyao, 7 yuan. Bridge white, about 50 meters. *** In fact, whether from Taiyuan, Linfen, or go to Wang's Grand Courtyard are extremely convenient by car crossing the Lingshi under the bridge under the bridge to intercept a wire into the car to Wang's Grand Courtyard, swim and then sit in the Wang's Grand Courtyard a line of cars to under the bridge, cross the bridge to the intersection take a long-distance car to Pingyao, or Linfen. This is such a person like me traveling Traveler is very convenient.
Back to the Inn to take luggage to the train station take the 16:15 train to Taiyuan, 18:00 more to Taiyuan. Su heat for Duan guest houses, railway station, 25 yuan separate bathroom, hot water, fan.
July 30 to sit at the train station 804 to Jinci to Jinci through Jinci Park, free of charge. Jinci tickets 40 yuan, and only half a vote in the primary school. Please guide 20 yuan. If you do not want to remember the words of a guide with the tour group behind the listening, otherwise it is an absolute waste. I brought a tour guide, a pity that explanation was not good, I heard her say that I still listen to tour guide, said it's terrific to pay her some money and I told her after the termination hearing at the tour behind. Do nothing, she was speaking too easy.

To swim to the Xinhua bookstores reading books, watching the pot boil dumpling hall food, cheap, in the Star-wang park diagonally opposite. Chibi by 4-way car back to hotel.
Shan Temple is also on this road, who are interested can go and see.
Note: Do not let other people know where you want to avoid being entangled solicitation. Station Square, there are caves to the car, 3 yuan / person, but full of dignitaries before walking. If you want local inquiries, not surrounded by soliciting followed, otherwise, nothing less than asking. Take the bus to see when you watch their station license, Datong public transport is a loop, the crew encountered unfriendly Zhanshang Che from the train station terminal is also to blame you do not listen to called station. I was going around in a circle and then go back to take 4-way car, find local people have never taken the head like me really can not have temper.
August 1 Station Square, Station Road to the front straight a long-distance bus station, ride to the hunyuan of the CMB to Xuankong Si, 10 yuan / person. Car to hunyuan, because only four people on board went Xuan Kongsi, the owner of Let's Ride let go Xuan Kongsi, fare paid.

You have completed four of 30 yuan a taxi back to hunyuan, there is no shuttle bus to hunyuan Xuan Kongsi be rental. The two men hunyuan such as China and Pakistan go to Datong to Wutai Mountain Wutai Mountain, I read a Harbin Institute of Technology architecture students to be county to see pagoda.
Hunyuan did not go to be the county bus, from the hunyuan to be through the county should be to intercept long-distance crossing county and hunyuan car, time uncertain. I've met a passenger going to be a small bread County, 15 yuan / person. ** Datong county bus to be a lot of time and one to left, from the Datong county to be very convenient early morning, after the return from Datong to Xuankong Si Datong, Datong to be by the County in the afternoon back to Datong, or first go should be County to see return from Datong to Xuankong Si pagoda, and then swim back to Datong, have plenty of time. Of course, this is a person or two people traveling to visit France, if there are four people in the hunyuan rent cars to be leased to the county is a good way to 100 yuan can be traded.
Pagoda tickets 36 yuan / person, students half-price 18 per hour. More than three in the afternoon by bus back to Datong. Ying County, the latest shuttle bus to Datong 17:30. Back to Datong Datong to Beijing after buying train tickets to Beijing late. Computer does not sleeper tickets for sale, estimated to fall on private hands, bought a seat ticket on the bus, when added in the platform of the sleeper, directly on the sleeper train, stayed to sleep on the bus half an hour later supplemented berth of talent from the hard-seat train came.
Next stop is Manchuria. Baotou - Hailar the train at 1:53 after Datong, I expect to Beijing by train directly to Manchuria.
Because of lack of interest I did not go to Wutai and Hengshan. The station has to Wutai Mountain in China and Pakistan, but not many trips. On Mount Wutai and Hengshan online information can be find.
Note: Shanxi dust significantly, particularly in infrastructure projects Datong, dust billowing, with masks, or is bound to biological vacuum cleaner.
