After the battery can take the tourist up car, you can also rent a bike and 10 yuan / hour tour walls. Sky gradually night by bus to the train station to see if there is a timely berth trips to Taiyuan, the results of many people, there is no sleeper tickets, so gave up the idea of train to Taiyuan.

The next morning set a good night in the hotel Taiyuan ticket (to Taiyuan flights very little, so do not discount), the line package exists hotel, back of the room then go out. First went to Goose Pagodas, the latter 10 minutes can handle that. Then go to Shaanxi Provincial History Museum, wow, this must be China's best History Museum, antique more incredibly, went so far as tubes can not read, but also they are deeply shocked, for the Chinese civilization, the great and proud. Out of the Museum of History, to the Forest of Stone Tablets Museum, which is also a national treasure in the place, bringing together the best monument Chinese dynasties, the great calligrapher their ink everywhere. Looked at looked at it in despair in the present popularity of the computer age is becoming increasingly hard to find a good calligrapher, and do not know if one day the art of calligraphy will be the same as other traditional art reserved only for reservations. Then I walked along the street outside the Forest of Stone Tablets of the Bookstore door, the whole street is to buy ink paper-cut and antiques. And then back from the Luomashi Street to Main Street East, visit the east of Xian's most prosperous street. Back to the Clock Tower, to take luggage to the hotel, took a bus to the west a little door Civil Aviation Ticket Office and other civil aviation bus to the airport. Xi'an aviation bus in urban areas, there is only this one station is the last bus 18:00. A half-hour trip. Some passengers on the road and so on, but if the police will not stop. The traffic police are everywhere in Xi'an, patrol cars are everywhere. Taiyuan from the Internet, and set the state of the hotel room, so from Xianyang Airport by 8:30 p.m. flight to Taiyuan. Taiyuan Airport is almost a ten-point, to see and the state hotel has free shuttle bus, (civil aviation airport to the city bus is 10 yuan / person). And the state hotel in Taiyuan Wuyi Square, Samsung, single 185 yuan / day, including breakfast. Is also a very convenient to access location. Later I saw in that hotel near the lakeside also good, online price is 129 per / day, standard room.
Hurry up and go to the morning travel advice and the state hotel doorstep Shanxi China Travel Service, local residents told me the best travel is the travel, holidays and international. However, most of them just Pingyao, Qiao Jia Da Yuan day trips, Wutai Mountain Two-Day Tour. Because my time is limited, but also to think of Wang's Grand Courtyard to determine their own walk of a person. The morning and the hotel across the state take the 804 bus to Jinci, 2 yuan / person, very far. After the first Jinci Jinci Park, 5 yuan tickets, a lot of local native tour guide, tell a ten-dollar. Regular instructors is 30 yuan. Jinci tickets 30 yuan. Inside there are several thousand years old trees, hall, completely intact, the wood in the passage of time in the white colors of the wind and rain at the Millennium mottled, but the viewer has seen through them trace the history of India ... ... jinci 1,500 years of history, there is Ruin: hard and old springs, plastic servo woman's Song, Zhou Dynasty of the cypress; there are three David Architecture: Xiandian, fish, marsh fly beams and Sheng Mudian; the three inscription, three plaque, as well as the Tang Dynasty , the Song and Ming guhuai ginkgo.

Qixian can take to the CMB, the official price of 8. The station provides regular grid, but out of the station, the owner will side of the road Showmanship, until full before walking. There are a few kilometers away from the Qixian Qiao Jia Da Yuan went to the, on the road not far away. Tickets are 30 yuan, is the film "Raise the Red Lantern" was filmed. It is Qixian Folk Museum. Probably a half an hour before they are read. He went right back to the side of the road crossing minibus stopped to Pingyao 6 yuan / person, a lot of cars, very convenient. Get off at the Pingyao Railway Station Square, manpower tricycle 2 yuan to pull you inside the ancient city, into the gate, suddenly saw a large old streets and old houses of old. There are many inns, are old-fashioned houses, heatable adobe sleeping platform. Good to see. The best Inn is Degut sources (ranging from standard rooms 120,160,180, a room a living room 268, two-bedroom one living room 488, must be booked in advance telephone number is 0354-5685266), and Tian Yuan Kui, the other looks also good. Heard 30 a night's Inn will do. To live down immediately went to the best-preserved Pingyao County Yamen, I really did not expect the former County Yamen is so, there are local primary school instructors on the inside of the red scarf to do for free to explain that it is really a let children know their home a good way to . The future of the tourism industry of Pingyao is a good start. Then I went to the City God Temple, Caishen Miao, Confucian Temple, and Qing Street. Confucian Temple in Pingyao school inside hall closed, probably because it is dusk. Student hostel on the side of the wing, the students come and go, is also in the temple, what did not feel inappropriate. Get out of the Confucian Temple is the lanterns, Ming and Qing streets, residential areas inside and outside red lanterns shining, especially by the thick atmosphere of the ancient city filled. Back to the Inn, alone in bed, listening to CD, very quiet mood.
Early the next day we got up to greet the morning of the ancient city. The sun shone streets, pedestrians hurry. I went to see the Qing Xu walk concept Rishengchang, collaborative Qing, the door looked at the standard Bureau of the museum, then called a motorized three-wheeled vehicles (chartered 10 yuan) to 6 kilometers away, Shuang Lin Temple, allegedly there are There temple, locals will all go. Shuang Lin Temple is also a history of more than 1500 years, which has preserved the painted sculpture. However, general comparisons between the old, burning incense many people are crowded. Return the event of mother and daughter are two of Pingyao, and a motor tricycle bargaining, the final scheduled for the three of us talk about two dollars a person back to Pingyao Railway Station. Pingyao Railway Station Square, the city has to Jiexiu CMB, 4 yuan / person, still have to wait until people go until filled. About an hour bus to Jiexiu Station Square. In the square opposite side of the road for 11 bus to Wang's Grand Courtyard. (You can also take the CMB to the Lingshi in Pingyao city, transfer to a Bus.) Because I asked some people do not know how long the 11 road trip, specifically whether there stations, so had chartered to go. Van asking price 35 yuan. Car takes about 40 minutes. Wang's Grand Courtyard tickets 35 yuan, a large family buildings, well worth a visit. It takes about two hours. Out in the parking lot near the eating a bowl of egg noodles Daoxue, cheap delicious. Road on the 11 bus, the conductor told me that every half-hour trip, regular grid, 3 yuan / person, in Jiexiu actually waving at the train station across the street or stop. By Jiexiu train station, I am down Taiyuan, China and Pakistan to find the car empty, and do not know how long. Travelers encountered two go the same way, go off to play for 8 yuan to the large car crossing the road and so on. Crossing the road a lot of big cars, talk about a good price for 15 yuan per person back to Taiyuan. More than two hours later I went back to Taiyuan. Flight back to Chengdu, Taiyuan little the second day in Xi'an, transfer, spend about 8,9 hours. So buy a K702 to a berth in Beijing (21:00 open, 7:10 to) 140 yuan to the Beijing transit. Tickets bought after I went to Taiyuan district of Chong Shansi, Confucian Temple (Shanxi Museum), to clarify and taste of the yuan, where the most prestigious stew Motoko, vinegar pepper lamb, another well-known is called the "head", is the morning to eat, did not catch up, sorry! Shanxi is also less attention to the tourism brand promotion, at 51 Road, asked a few people can not tell where the Chuqing He Yuan, or if I find the book to find the street to find one to go. In fact, beside the road in 51. Seiwa yuan in Shanxi encountered an old man gourmet association, passionate presentation of the dishes of Seiwa yuan, also told me to eat pasta should go to Great South Gate Shanxi noodle, dumplings to go diagonally across from the "recognition pockets" ... ... to eat dinner away from the Seiwa yuan has been down, that is, the pedestrian street in Taiyuan - Willow Lane, Tower Street, very lively, you can go and see the Urban wind and aspirations. From the Willow Lane came out to the 51 on the square near the train starting from the time there are two hours, then went to the square of the open-air cafes to drink tea, and snacked on my feet, to write about my feelings and a running account, or watching Leisure Square, people, playful children, sunset, sky touch of gold, beautiful, very nice!
After 8:30 on the train to read for a while covered with books, and then in music to sleep, a sense Shuidaotianliang.
Beijing airport to flights around the many points at the agents can also buy discount tickets, so I did not waste money and save time. Smooth return to Chengdu.
The 5 half days out, it should be possible to arrange the trip, in the limited period of time saw the most scenic spots. Very productive. If I still have two days time, I will take the evening bus from Taiyuan, or 702 times train to Wutai Mountain to live and spend one and a half tour mountain, and then to living with the family the following day, a look at Yungang Grottoes, and then take the bus to Beijing turn for the better. But for office workers, five days is not easy, so had to travel from Beijing and other next time, and Mount Wutai in Datong. Between K701/702 Beijing to Taiyuan Train is a very convenient trip car, passing Wutai Mountain, in the evening off, for lack of time travelers attractive.
