To Taiyuan, pre-selected about 250 standard hotel rooms with no natural bath, toilet obvious taste, not to mention a towel is black, shabby room. Yingze Street to see both sides of all hotels, thinking about ¥ 300 should not be difficult to find a result, fooled, and walk the streets in the Yingze 1 hour, saw 5,6 standard three-star family hotel, conditions are almost the power Building the so-called 380 newly renovated rooms, toilet conditions, such as the former, only the room be clean and some, it can not endure. And each hotel occupancy rate is still high, in such off-season, incredible, so do not discount the following can play 8. Final 23:30 in a hotel the staff recommendation, returned to get off the place, stay at the Lotus Hotel (no stars), ¥ 118 / Tai standard, fairly clean toilets, no bath, hastened to rest. Address behind the coach station. This is my journey to find the worst hotel experience. After no more hopes on the interim to find them. Hibiscus Hotel is a well-known restaurant in Taiyuan, used to do a business dinner, accommodation is a newly opened, as a relatively good value for money the next day at noon on the second floor to eat meals at the hotel, the two ate ¥ 45 taste good, recommended hanging chicken, Ming furnace Haggis.
D4 (11/13) morning: Jinci park; pm: Taiyuan - Qiao Jia Da Yuan - Pingyao at the train station take the 804 Road to Jinci (¥ 1.5 / person) 50 minutes to Jinci (7:30-18:30), vehicles and clean, without a taxi.
To Jinci through Jinci Park, free of charge. Jinci tickets 40 yuan, and only half a vote in the primary school. Please guide 30 yuan. We should invite the regular tour guides, that is, at the ticket window would invite. We ask the tour guides were significantly higher than wild knowledgeable tour guides, but also to open one of the Jinci Sambo Li Shimin of the monument so that we see, the monument is a piece of Li Shimin of the artworks, written by Wang body, there are 28 different writing of 'the' . Usually is not open to the monument, followed by tourists now come in, they were guided tours please out. Jinci is a very rich history of the place, if they rush a visit, too worth it. Return is also a good way to sit 804, do not take the other car, the road to be soliciting, condition is also poor. 804 a lot of wait for a while to come. At noon back to hotel, ate.
First long-distance bus station to see if there without a car can come to Pingyao, stations do not, the staff said to Pingyao direction of cars under construction south bus station. Station saw a car that says to Linfen, asked him how much money Qiao's Grand Courtyard, he said a contingent ¥ 25, when I came to Pingyao is not only ¥ 19, he immediately said, wrong, and thought it was great royal hospital. However, Wang's Grand Courtyard is simply not the road beside ah, no reason him, and he said the 15:15 journey, he saw the edge of a Iveco, and asked how much money the car was seen to follow, saying that 20. The management of Shanxi too bad! You can only make cars went to the construction of the Southern Bus Station. Into the station had not dare to reason the station soliciting, directly into the ticket office and asked how much money to Qiao's Grand Courtyard. Really did not expect that they would have problems where the ticket office, she said let me go directly to a Chase Pingyao, I said no, he saw written on the wall fare table Qiao Jia Da Yuan ¥ 15 / person. Asked her in the end there are no car to Qiao's Grand Courtyard, she said yes, said a pass to us what she could not read what Joe Grand Courtyard of the votes, the results collected ¥ 15 / person subject to the ¥ 1 / person insurance (also did not seek our advice, this is the only place along the way to sell our insurance), tearing of a ticket somewhere else to us, has repeatedly said that on the 1st place car to car, so car people to change her vote. Holding a ticket got on the car in person, one will run, I supplemented ¥ 2, said one pass what is a fee-for-votes in the station, inexplicably, very angry and told him that I was at the station to buy regular tickets, there are problems to solve his own station, join efforts to fight for a long time, he said I was a natural trouble, feeling Shanxi business is too problematic. 15 points of the car at the station does not move grinding to 15:10, I went to reminders, they say just is not too anxious. Finally moved, they stopped at the station entrance, and said other people to check the number of the station, to people who cross the table and slowly walked over slowly came until 15:30 before opening out, angry, gave birth to no more. The way they want to re-soliciting, I saw the local people are standing at the roadside out of the car stopped (the same fare), had known this, it should be stopped at the roadside out of station cars, you can as early as 1 hour. Well, I Jisi, and I do not know Qiao Jia Da Yuan points to close. Drove 1.5 hours to the Qiao's Grand Courtyard, when the person does not get on board enthusiastically pointing our roads it wants to continue taking the road of 200 meters, has 17 o'clock, and we even arrived at Ben and run to ticket office, a look at 19 o'clock close, a sigh of relief, but later found to 6:00 p.m. There are a lot of people who have just entered. Shop next door at the box office hosting a backpack, large ¥ 3 ¥ 2 small. Qiao Jia Da Yuan ticket ¥ 35, but also good, like the homes of people can go look at more refined, in-room without electric lights, so late even if it does not close you do not see the. Shanxi Province has seen a lot of houses on the almost, and some white elephant (for example, Wang's Grand Courtyard), I feel more classic QIAO Jia. Qiao Jia Da Yuan 1.5 hours is enough.
QIAO Jia-out to the road, the night began to descend, and would like to be hailed to Pingyao, a car also began to see clearly, later see clearly, and they have to ¥ 10 / person, think of so close but also ¥ 10, can not be reconciled, then such a result, more and more dark days, and asking price getting higher and higher, and can only be multiplied by a car and left. Pingyao 20 minutes to the village of South Highway Administration. Note: Do not take the car to Pingyao, that car is to Pingyao railway station, car few lines long, and very broken packed with deadly, only the direction of the air-conditioned ride to the bus Linfen, multiply to Pingyao State Highway Administration Highway south of villages, there are tricycle into town, we went to when they asking price ¥ 1 / people into the city. Gains in pre-booked Hotel (No. 16 Sand Lane Hospital 0354-5685988), the boss would have opened a wide meet us, great. Gains in hotels Yes, pre-set call room, I said friends, and to the ¥ 132 /, the package early. Live in a number of smaller rooms, but the room was well decorated, very clean, sleep is the pits, very fresh. Gains in Pingyao hotels was previously the largest ticket dispensers, No. designate the former residence of Wang Bin, previously also sell tour tickets, tickets can not be changed hotels after the visit. Classic Shanxi residential areas, free Internet access. The boss's nice, too, the day digital cameras because we did drive there is a problem in their restaurants over the Internet to 23:00, there is no other guests, we do not have any consumer, they have been waiting to open restaurants without any complaints, clinical take the time to say good-bye very politely, and we take them on a closed, let us very moved.
The night stroll a bit and found a restaurant tasted Pingyao's special (Evans tofu, candied yams, bowl bald), bad, bald is the so-called bowl skinned son, the other is very poor. May be due to off-season, almost every single home is empty, a guest does not. Only one restaurant were packed, 78 tables foreigner. Hotel entrance is soliciting, and vegetables can be expensive enough, there is no 20 below. They all said to have fewer point, discount, find the one into the seat, the door solicitation gone to the billing of the little girl said she was the boss can not be discounted, as we would like to left. Later, he still went cloud Kam-shing, and vegetables is much cheaper, more bad attitude, and billing lady can not sell small portions make decisions how much young lady pulled off the stage indifferent face. Later he asked the price of their room, saying that ¥ 158, we say that people are talking about season discount, you do not play, miss a look of disdain that we are talking about a quarter of the peak season price. Said that several major online stores only like to receive tour groups, the fruit is not enough, have never seen such a cattle business, the business is so bad also so cattle must be because the normal business great.
D5 (11/14): AM: Pingyao; pm: Pingyao - Boulders - Wang's Grand Courtyard - Boulders - Linfen Linfen places we go to when the town of Pingyao not Maimen Piao, Ming and Qing Street, the city gate, and are not were checked. The next day during the day and no one checked, you can freely access. Pingyao City, on the whole night, not tourists. County Yamen at noon the next day met only a few tours. Heard that the reason is because the off-season. Pingyao ticket for ¥ 85 / person, student ticket ¥ 45 / person, the city gate could be a person to buy student tickets, the other attractions outlets only sell full price tickets, or two students to buy a ticket. To be honest, attractions inside the package itself is nothing special, apart from the walls, Xian Ya, outside the City God Temple is a countless number of votes, Biaoju. No. tickets are very much the same, artificial polish. Beginning with the Rishengchang, which have the votes history of the development numbers, in addition to have some history of its own is not much meaning. One of the biggest ticket number into Inn, we look for housing through the name, visited a bit, the pattern of the compound than Rishengchang mostly, and very beautiful, but inside there is no description things. Biaoju do not look worth mentioning, very general. Only the walls is also worth to stroll around. County Yamen well-known, City God Temple is not how, so I am very disappointed, but I miss Pingyao for a long time, it is lost, a business-like too strong. Pingyao city inn plethora, and we picked a few looked at, conditions are almost the Ming and Qing expensive street, you can get to about 300 suites (they are generally referred to as Xiulou), generally in the 80-120 of the Inter. There are 60 yuan a standard room, but the poor conditions in the basement, or distant place. In fact, we subsequently found not Maimen Piao, casual walk to see, but also feel the connotation of the ancient city.
Checkout at the hotel around 12:30 noon, tricycles to the south side of State Road entrance to the village to wait until the political direction of Linfen, car, car lot. One would come to such a ¥ 10 / person to Lingshi (We want to go to Wang's Grand Courtyard). 1 hour 10 minutes to the Lingshi, in large bridge to get off looking for a road car, not seen (in fact, that is to walk the bridge). Motorcycle Mohr-McClune said ¥ 2 pull us to a way station, asked him how far, Wang's Grand Courtyard, he said very far. Do not believe, so that he can pull us over, he said not to go too far, and later talked about ¥ 15 gone, wrong decision! Wang's Grand Courtyard is really very far, but his car was really broken, cars broken open until halfway, then stopped off in a bus. A road car is very old and the car are the local people, this train is to the village there are more people, great, did not stand with a backpack is wrong. We are crowded in the car to Ji Qu, lost LG's hat, alas. Wang's Grand Courtyard ticket ¥ 45, ¥ 23 student tickets. Send packets ticket office next door, big bag ¥ 5, packet ¥ 3 yuan, asked why more than QIAO Jia-expensive answer is because Wang larger carrying more tired, ha ha. Note: get off at the compound gate will be a period after the walk uphill, while the exports are off places, that is, if the send packets have to go pick up tour finished.
Invited a guide, ¥ 50, was later found that Wang's Grand Courtyard is not much meaning, if you have visited QIAO Jia, Pingyao, there is no need to specially over again, its transportation is too inconvenient. Inside is a large, but not during the same period with a man-made is that some children and grandchildren around the clock making, even with the houses. Guides does not seem Jinci of culture, asked her not clear about many things, in fact, please do not worth mentioning. Wang's Grand Courtyard casual visitors to see at least 2 hours, too.
Where got off the train back to see the new car was written quite a train station, very happy one ask people to Jiexiu train station, did not take, because we went on is to Linfen, Jiexiu than Lingshi far away from Linfen. Also take a road vehicle back to the Lingshi county, I got lost a hat was found. Looking for a rental, and so on for a long time not seen a dome light, and had to try to move about hands, the results of a plane stopped, they may have brought the dome light of the rent here, anyway you look at the waving it wants to meet. ¥ 1 / people brought us to one end of the road. But on the road drivers here say they are not the same as with the city and open the bus would just drive back the night, and will not stop at the terminal. To the end of frustration could not find the car. Too late, given the side of national highway last night hailed the experience, we decided to take the train to Linfen, ¥ 5 driver to take us to the train station. To the station ticket office have asked car, she said immediately, there was originally 18:37's car was late, saying that to 18:45. We say that buying two soft seat, conductor Yi Leng, this car does not hang Ruanxi, will hand the money collected to bring it back, looked to see if we say that you can not go up, and do not buy a ticket, and a moment had to come back. She let people turnstile let us stop, saying that if you fill up the bar to the car (later we learned that this type of vehicle on the first leg of Jiexiu no one is perfect). Really good, ah, the first time we felt the simplicity of the people of Shanxi. Vehicle arrival until 18:55. We are lucky enough to grab the last one compartment door, got on very smoothly, was about to cheer, it is incredible the people in the car packed with stations where at all. Fees are tremendous efforts to squeeze in. a Zade, no place to put packages. Sichuan accent around the whole person, a question and found out this train from Taiyuan to Chengdu pukuai the car full of Sichuan migrant workers return home. Around the Sichuan nice big brother, straining local Teng let us down big bag, big bag packet can be placed only on the hand-embracing. Vehicles finally opened, thinking about a total of 1 hour and a half on fast, and did not realize that suffering has just begun. For small business people who sell things on board, there are people who do not know Gansha to Jiqu constantly crowded along the way LG gave a dozen times package, each would also like to jerk a few minutes to make the sale of people transaction. Also encountered beg actually called the three so-called money-disabled persons (according to the surrounding Sichuan brother said that he had seen him off the leg is constant, and on the bus and then tie), ¥ 1 / people, do not give the head on you. There are people in the car to open gambling, selling seats, constantly ask us where it was coming off, I am scared to death by too straight regret on the journey. Train at each station are Diaozhu a result, to Linfen delayed by 40 minutes. I feel as if this kind of environment with our normal lives has nothing to do, and had never seen such a scene, there has never thought would be such a thing, I have always thought that idle time to slow down a bit but a hard seat, seats a little uncomfortable , never thought so dangerous, so difficult. 拼博of some, finally squeezed out of the car, I was still afraid to see those three individuals out of the car, I am afraid Linfen station with the same dark Lingshi was not, shrink in the corner, even on the car, also known as non - . To the exit of a look, Oh, Linfen is a very big station, brightly lit, delighted. Because there is no ticket, take the initiative and out of the mouth of ticket inspection station said Miss, and Miss were very good, saying that you take the initiative to replacement ticket, the fine is not received 50 percent, and took us to fill a ticket from the jiexiu to Linfen of the votes, with the two almost from the Lingshi to Linfen, Shanxi People's nice. Miss is also recommended to us by the side of the railway enthusiasm for hotels, said the condition of good.
Railway Hotel ¥ 160 / Tai standard, in good condition and a larger room (next to the railway station square, recommended). The room was tense, ¥ 128 / small standard has not made, and the next day we also see that there are other room. Transportation is also convenient, come to coach station is only 10 minutes. Washed two to hotels outside the trousers ¥ 3 / Article, cheap is cheap, that is, do not wash clean, washing is not recommended there. Ms. received helped us to Huashan checked the train, saying that there is a group of 12 noon, on the third day and then go to work she found the train was canceled, is still playing for us early in the morning the phone was very moved.
