1st day: fifth day of the Beijing - Jinci - Pingyao Ancient City
January 26, 2004, large year five, that will be a supply of stuffed into the car, I am starting to Shanxi, and LG go through. The day before just to fill up 138 per car, but also bought two additives 32 RMB.
8:20 departure from home;
8:54 to Jingshi high-speed Liuliqiao entrance, mileage display 32KM;
9:19 to Zhuozhou, pay high costs 15 yuan;
9:50 to Baoding
10:48 Agariishi too high speed, high-speed charge to pay 60 yuan, the mileage shown 288KM;
11:18 caliper West, high-speed 25 yuan, 339KM, in the service area a break of 20 minutes;
11:40 again, change LG to open;
Bad road conditions the way the speed is almost maintained at between 150-180.
13:00 to Taiyuan (Rochester) export, along the way there is a Taiyuan N export, dizzy, do not ask questions, the last from the Taiyuan (Rochester) export out, and paid 55 yuan, 510KM. Go after high-speed U-turn for Dayun Only later did I understand the need to go out directly before the toll booths in a big U-turn movement, then the first one and then exported to Jinci Contributions can be unified. But the high fees will not be provincial not too clear;
13:20 to Jinci exports, 5 yuan, 517KM. Fuel tank alarm, in the high-speed Jinci there is a gas station after the exit turn left. Before departure in Beijing, bought two bottles of gasoline additive, but placed in the trunk where a little bit frozen, and a very daunt them. Refueling 52L, 166 Yuan.
Shun signs to Jinci, asked at gas stations may not take Jinci Park Road, go straight, turn right onto the door directly to the Jinci provincial park tickets for 5 yuan.
The Jinci door, parking 10 per hour. Along the way for the car, not driving a car that people who Mengchi snacks, what paste, chocolate, fruit, plum, jelly, and we bring the food readily available. But still intend to eat lunch in the formal result, since the Chinese New Year a lot of restaurants do not open the door Jinci no alternative but to eat a bowl of Fried snack stalls throughout the city, 4 million;
Jinci Tickets 40 / person spent 20 yuan took a month guided tours, an increase of a lot of knowledge, know the Ruin of three plaque, if not to explain what is really do not know, looking also saw more than a lot of Beijing parks are small, they mean nothing.
15:20 From Jinci out the Dayun high-speed, heading Qixian direction;
Middle taken the wrong road, and at high speed also can be taken the wrong road is really rare, LG drive, I buried to eliminate snacks, a rise to see a roadmap to Xian, Yuncheng slipped away right direction, even went to Xi'an, LG said that should be road ah, how will leave out? Later found out that is wrong from here, farther not think so, because we can see signs Qixian, so call the inn to Pingyao, there is one just to the guests is wrong, and received a telephone call Let us quickly turn around, go back to the Qixian to Dayun high-speed turn. Turns out that we have come too fast on the Fen River, so at Heng Fa Chuen station exit fee (no toll booths, this quite good, and will not spend more high-speed charge) U-turn towards the direction of opening of Taiyuan to Qixian export for Dayun speed. This go around for almost 100KM
17:10 to Pingyao, high-speed 25 yuan, the mileage shown 678KM (more wound around 100KM, Otherwise less);
I pre-booked the room cloud Kam-shing, to the Inn called to pick each other out of the city, in waiting more than N during the shoot, said windowpane to bring us into the city, five of money, a cloud that has been booked Kam-shing them he would no longer harass us. My car was parked in West Street, 10 yuan;
Room on the second floor, a pit, enough to be able to stayed to sleep four or five persons. But to be honest if not expectations too high, looks very good to see, which all kinds of feelings do not really clean, unlike the residential areas south of Yangtze River, it seems still less likely to do business with the North. 120 / Inter-Xiulou.
After dinner the clouds Kam-shing, 44 yuan, well, in particular, that what the Su-Hui Cai, Pingyao, it is delicious; it is also my first time since the beginning of dessert eaten candied, candied yams, yam seemed a lot of Shanxi. A stroll in the city, stroll, leaving the Ming and Qing Street, felt afraid to go dark, and do not like the south of the rivers and lakes is also very dark at night though, but that is not fear, do not know why, the reason may also be a bit cold bar. So the Inn entrance Natiao visited the Ming and Qing dynasties stroll the streets, looked at the Pingyao Sambo in the lacquer and embroidery shoes, lacquerware do not know, most of what the jewelry box, and quite beautiful, but do not think it useful; embroidered shoes no more law to wear, so ultimately we've got nothing to buy; the night cold, Inn on the back to hang out, and sat in the pit, leaning against the pit table Chi Guazi, watching television. Consult a moment think that this condition can not stay Zhuliang Tian, learning about other people's travels studies and maps, decided that the new Canadian Hukou the King.
