Stay in Pingyao: Stay in a 200-year-old mansion.

In Pingyao Ancient City, the most impressive place is this private mansion of a silk merchant in the Qing Dynasty - Jinzhai. Although it is located on the bustling East Street, it is a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of the world. - 💫 The gate of Jinzhai perfectly meets the need for space definition. When you open the gate, you will be in another space that calms your mind. The shouts of merchants and the hustle and bustle of tourists on the street disappear. You will be greeted by a simple but warm greeting from the butler, "Welcome back." 💫 The mottled walls and faded wooden pillars seem to tell the mark of the times. The courtyard features of the Jin merchant's mansion are preserved, and the interior decoration is integrated with modern elements. You can feel the designer's dedication in every corner. 💫 The mansion is furnished with many collections of the owner, from ancient to modern times. What attracts me is the books that can be seen everywhere in the courtyard. Many of them are not available in bookstores. There are historical introductions of Shanxi and Pingyao, a complete collection of ancient Chinese architecture, cultural analysis of Buddhist temples around the world, and some English books with inscriptions, which should be left by tourists from all over the world who stayed here before. They took away the historical memories of Shanxi, Pingyao, and ancient Chinese cities, and left their culture and life. The cultural exchange here is also the reason why I think Jinzhai is full of vitality. 🍜 The breakfast is amazing, especially the western-style omelet and pancake. The beef noodles are also cooked with delicious sauce. The souvenir on the day of departure is Pu'er tea and a cute little cloth bag, which is a great experience. - 🌟 Recommendation: 5 stars 🧭 Navigation: No. 16, East Street, Pingyao County, Jinzhong City 💰 Price: 1,500+ (for reference only), depending on the season and room type 🍜 Food: The breakfast menu is available in Chinese and Western styles, and can be adjusted according to the taste of guests. The beef noodles, handmade buns, and scrambled eggs are all delicious. The hotel itself is antique, well maintained, clean, and soundproof. The hotel will arrange browsing cars and staff to pick up and drop off guests, ask about the needs of guests, and introduce attractions and routes. Pu'er tea and Chinese knot pendants are given as gifts before departure.
