We are to Lingshi 6:43 am and get off at the train station Lingshi is very simple, showing a very small train station, train station, one way out of the cottage and the dirt road to see 2-way bus trip, we approached the ask the driver how to Wang's Grand Courtyard, the driver told us that bus ride one way, and guide us how to ride, but because it felt so desolate, so it is still 2-way bus ride around the urban areas, and later prove that this choice is wrong In such small places buses are usually bypass, in fact, 5 minutes walk to a way station, but the bus around for at least 15 minutes.
In these small cities keep pace with the trend of the absolute costs of public transport vehicles, 1 yuan but also the nature of light as the private car. 7:50 pm arrive Wang's Grand Courtyard. Wang's Grand Courtyard size getting bigger, but very little room inside the house. But still better than the residential areas in Anhui many times. Yu Wang's Grand Courtyard spent two hours out of Wang's Grand Courtyard to see the 11 Jiexiu Bus, they went on the train Jiexiu City. Do not see a car go to Pingyao, but I believe it should be. We are to Jiexiu bought a train ticket to Pingyao 5.5 yuan, just sit down and less than 20 minutes to Pingyao has. At that time really should be looking for cars to go directly to Pingyao, this way and waste a lot of time.
Pingyao out from the train station, it was up approached, saying that 1 yuan to take us into the city, because we feel that is not reliable to find their bus into the city. Later found out is a wrong decision. From the train station to the west gate of Pingyao ancient city is on a curve, we have sent to the south gate bus handlebars, but this tour bus is a walk around the periphery of the ancient city walls, terminal is the starting point. South Gate is the Pingyao back door, the door of the place is very difficult to block mud road to go. Because the National Day holiday, prices rise, find a place to live, it takes us a lot of time, these time spent injustice. If it was determined that should be able to save 3 hours of time, enough to visiting the ancient city of Pingyao. We have chosen the South Main Street next to the alley about 10 meters from entering an inn called the longevity Station. It said the stores, so that newly opened just before the National Day holiday, the asking price 180 yuan, 120 yuan Kandao accompany us, see the store readily promised, a little regret Why not cut down low. The room is small, from a kang, televisions and water filters, but even in places where there is no release, there are separate toilet, but the inside of the facilities and poor quality of water. If they have laptop computers so that each room has broadband Internet access.
Luggage put away later, we borrowed two bicycles to the store, found a store clerk and took us way in the turning circle within the ancient city of Pingyao. Old Town is not big, but If I had to go, but also very tired people. Because the sky is late, the door only at tourist spots Kanleyikan, and did not go. Point in dwelling places of the extra dishes, eating dinner, spent 40 yuan more expensive! Store after heating to 12 points on the closed, and the grooming quality of the water is not good, but there are drinking fountains.
