The Shanxi, Shaanxi trip, most of the time four counterparts, there is a period of time is three, Gong Lue in the New Year when the price is only the price of normal fares and accommodation should be much lower.
January 23, two new year. Morning, late aircraft, nearly two hours before take-off. 12:09 Taiyuan Wusu before reaching the airport, the wait was a friend of mine, four packets of a Jetta, spent 100 yuan from the airport to Jinci, a journey of about 35 to 40 kilometers, the taxi is the first step in Taiyuan 5 Yuan, 1.2 Yuan per kilometer, two points to reach. Jinci parks do not have tickets, through the park leads to the jinci. Chartered to manage, should be able to let the driver take him to the door Jinci (not Jinci park entrance) We have invited a guide, 30 yuan. Talk at the general, in the end there is a diminished sense of the courtyard next to no speaking, but there is a good point guide. Jinci feel the time with no change in eight years to come, 4:30 read out, can be hailed on the road directly to Pingyao, we take 804 Jinci car park entrance to the terminal - Taiyuan Railway Station (Ying Ze street). Had intended to immediately take the bus to Datong, who knows Chinese New Year to all long-haul vehicles (including public and private) was closed! Only one night in Taiyuan, a considerable part of the city's hotels closed rest. Live Lotus Hotel (behind the bus stop) Samsung standard, newly opened, the standard room 135 (during the Spring Festival, if first in the Lotus restaurant for dinner, and then open rooms is 100, stupid), eating super-flat, 102 million (7 dishes and one soup , wine and meat is complete). North Korea finalized as early as 8:20 of the second train to Datong. Shanxi and did not really do the business! It seems to be behind the trip will truly change seriously changed! Zhong You, Taiyuan, the Chinese New Year atmosphere is even worse than that of Guangdong, the entire city as the dead city, all the shops do not open the door, only one D in the gymnasium hall is very hot.
January 24, Year. Has long been well-behaved a great 8:30 train to Datong, 30 yuan, speed unresponsive, 350 kilometers away with more than six hours, until 14:09 on the train to Datong, is not expensive to eat, and six dishes 60, However, the actual three are the same dishes, the attitude of a good conductor, or the temporary overtime cars. Flying immediately stay hotels, listed two-star, the environment in general, toilets have taste, the room fairly clean, out of the railway station on the left, standard room 100. After the fight go down luggage Yungang, 30 yuan, Yungang tickets 60, well worth a visit. 5:15 the sun will be down, and it cleared 5:30 closing time is not enough to seriously read at least 4 hours, cursory at least have 2.5 hours. Food is still very expensive city to eat in the red America to eat, Guangzhou East China Sea, the standard stall fees are charged only 100 yuan of five dishes and one soup (the most expensive silk only 3.5 per potato! However, the Australian lobsters are expensive). Datong District, is not small, only slightly smaller than in Guangzhou. Datong is the dirtiest I have seen his life's big cities.
January 25, breakfast at the train station next to the shop to eat, the more expensive and driver 35 yuan of five in the morning 7:30 to go out, then the driver surnamed Kong, said after the one-way drive 200, immediately get off, and the other to find a, chartered 200, bridge tolls all of them should be 20 (then there are two toll stations were on holiday, only cost 10 yuan in high-speed), two parking spots 5 yuan each. Xuan Kongsi (46 million) and pagoda (41 million) is still worth a go, but the pagoda is not on the worth mentioning, only to see the whole picture to be county only, and can only give you up to the second floor. But the Datong area, the next Huayan Monastery and the Nine Dragon Wall will not go no matter whether a total of 26 per ticket. 3:00 car to Taiyuan 65 yuan, is actually the JAC Refine private commercial vehicle, in front of the station, no need to go to South Station to build luxury bus ride, sitting eight people, packed and left, along the way of Dayun High-speed, it can not soliciting, 6:00 to Yingze on the street (if speeding, it is estimated that two and a half hours), take the 7:30 train to Pingyao, 9:15 that the carts (this car excruciatingly slow, slower than a bicycle. Pingyao chartered in future should pay attention to) into the city, each one dollar, but the bad along with the driver you want to join us to find Inn rebates, get rid of them with living Jin Tai-chang, 88 West Street , there is parking, phone 0354-5683666, booking in advance so that they can come to train station. Standard Room 70, four heatable adobe sleeping platform 120 (a little crowded points), the price calculation in general, the room has a bathroom, but the smaller the room, only 10 square meters. Pingyao's first feel good.
January Ershiliuyue beginning of the year five. Morning 9 o'clock begin walking the ancient city of Pingyao, Rishengchang number of votes is worth a go, Biaoju, traders were also good. The ancient city of many people walking the streets, shops are decorated, have more atmosphere. Huang Temple City and County of Yamen were very good, Yamen very large. After the pedestrian street to the left wall, the south gate of the castle is said to look into the city streetscape within the best, we are relatively tense time, no go. Then go to Shuang Lin Temple. If you get up early, busy schedule point, the afternoon can be chartered (in the railway station entrance and car) to see Qiao Jia Da Yuan, must be chartered (about 30 ~ 40 minutes), car was too late. If you want to read the whole city, it is estimated to be a full day, regardless of how long to see, tickets are 85 a day is also a 80 day tour. We are chartered to the Shuang Lin Temple, battery car 20, motorcycle 15, six kilometers path electric vehicles for 25 minutes, sorry. The key is to be QIAO Jia Shuang Lin Temple, and in order to see the good times in bad light. Shuang Lin Temple inside the pottery have more features, but the days we have seen many of the Buddha, has been uninterested in the. Many statues have all been primarily a metal cage to shut unhappy. Kam-shing to eat dinner in clouds, cloud Kam-shing environmental class, inexpensive, upstairs in the city, within walking street.
January 27, the beginning of six. Get up early, then ride to the Qiao's Grand Courtyard, train station, those who are soliciting Luanhan prices, we judge the time (New Year) If the package Santana about 60, face a similar according to the Taiyuan only 20 grams less than the ordinary CMB do not have 10 per hour. There are many stay in QIAO Jia-door eating areas. QIAO Jia is about 4 km from the railway station Qixian. QIAO Jia-not here, but very delicate. One, two homes are the essence of them. Left, hailed on the road in the Dayun to Wang's Grand Courtyard. Linfen, Houma Jiexiu theory up all over the direction of the car. We are a luxury bus ride is to Houma, but in a fork junction, 15 km from the Jiexiu brings us down the (10 million), made into what we do a number of vehicles are to jiexiu station. In the Jiexiu chartered to the royal train station (20 million) about 20 minutes into the parking lot down the hill. QIAO Jia-Wang's Grand Courtyard with different styles, with an area four times more than QIAO Jia, an excellent feng shui. Later built a more beautiful. If you want to keep packages, it should be kept in the foot of the mountain parking lot in order to avoid after reading go to the mountains to take. If anyone would like free riders, then you can play someone else from the foot of the mountain along the line of anti-direction, in the parking lot to the left, Wang Jia Citang up next to the trail, as if no one checked, has been able to walk to the royal staff and visitors. The Wang family's ancestral temple and the compound are completely separate. We are chartered from the courtyard out back jiexiu station. In the Royal can take a bus or chartered to Lingshi, onward to Linfen. We happen to have to go Lishi Jiexiu bus station CMB direction, they went. To 30 yuan Lishi, the journey is about 3 hours 130 kilometers, halfway in Xiaoyi stay half an hour, all the way road good, but came across the car too much, go a bit slow. 19:30 has finally come to the region's administrative office located in Luliang - Lishi City, the city would do too much dressing, and the streets full of red dragon, seems very prosperous, but later discovered that the city's heating are generally weak, Here we spent in the Shanxi Province, where the last one night, one of the coldest night. The hotel, according to locals here said that only the most expensive (standard room 220) and the most expensive (standard Triple 80, as well as TV, air conditioning). Looking for a long time, can not live in Lishi first hostel (cheap), the room inside the taste is really uncomfortable, take a bath of hot water being burnt to death of people, blankets on a good thick layer of ash.
January 28, the beginning of seven. Get up early, to Lishi station found that the station did not go after qikou car, and only changed to "West Railway Station", where people say to qikou only 7:30 and 11:30 so, but has returned to more麻烦. We asked a few taxi, but still no one is willing to go, about 50 kilometers away. Then there was Santana is willing, but 150 back and forth. We finally decided to return to Lishi bus stations, regular shuttle bus ride to the Suide (30 yuan, 3 hours away), Zaiqu Yan'an. Noon to Suide, if the rush can be hailed at the intersection directly to Yan'an, not into the city, because the car came from the city of Yulin to Yenan crossing cars, there is no express train. We suspect that Express is taking the side setting in that direction (with half-speed road), not by the Suide. Suide belongs to Yulin region, is relatively large transportation hub in northern Shaanxi, Yulin from here every 20 minutes a train ride 3 to 4 hours (124 kilometers), but they are halfway to solicit the kind of broken car. Said Fumio Suide rich and Takeo (for example: Riboud), including the tomb of the Mongolian city. We ate lunch (where the taste a bit spicy) directly traveled to Yan'an, two points on the car, soliciting for a long time before Sheung. Halfway again half an hour to repair, only to 18:00. Fuk Loi Deng living in the hotel, out of the bus station, cross the road, walk 400 meters to the left. Three Standard Room 150, there are more than the standard Samsung, facilities excellent, the room is smaller spots. Bus station opposite the hotel hung two star power even 210. Evening in the downstairs restaurant, for the local level is more expensive, the three men ate more than 70. Going out at night to go 100 meters to the right is the Yan River Bridge - the heart of Yan'an, Pagoda Hill, 9:00 to close the lights, you want to get to there early photography.
January 29, the beginning of eight. Morning went to the jujube, in fact, dates round, and Yangjiaping Wangjialing is a line of spots, sitting 13 Road, 8-way and tourist lines can go, the fare is one dollar, Zaoyuan farthest. In Zaoyuan next to a lot of the real cave allows visitors to live, about 25 yuan each bar is double. Zaoyuan no spectacle, tickets 21 yuan, but Chairman Mao once lived in the courtyard of the cave. Came back pass Yangjialing, twisted my at the door, tickets are 15, did not go in, is said to be the venue for seven. Wangjiaping also been a matter of fact, where there was a Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, we did not have passed. If it is to the standards according to Baotashan, we propose to 4:00 p.m. more ideal in the morning backlighting, the effect is poor. We went to eat lunch on the Yichuan, there is a taxi, he suggested that we pack car, Fukang car asking price one-way 200, two and a half hours to Hukou, not into the Yichuan. From the Yichuan chartered to Hukou, the driver will usually pack Hukou tickets, so we decided it traveled to. Bus 23 yuan per half-hour intervals, but also soliciting or less pull it out of the city hurry to get somewhere. Bus is taking the Nanniwan, Yunyan side, roads are relatively poor, much dust. Yunyan stayed more than 10 minutes in, after a Yunyan far is go to the Fen Chalu Hukou, we do not recommend hailed at that intersection to Hukou, according to the information we have to go that way shuttle bus during the day Hukou less than 5 times, but that position is really barren hills and remote places, and that location from the Hukou and Yichuan are forty to fifty kilometers. After a later start and crosses that intersection, and to the top of the hill, you know what is in the Loess Plateau and the gully aspect, that scene with the junior high school geography book is the same, unfortunately can not take pictures, that when the car has already seriously overloaded, filled person. By Yichuan, some people Mohr-McClune, the county seat, many people are specifically chartered to do business, from the red car to Otto there. Generally these people are packages of tickets, but it can not be free riders to see if their own skills. The shuttle bus stop Yichuan actually less surprising to Hukou shuttle only two classes, Xi'an is also the two classes are the 7:30 and 11:30, and the rest depends on the crossing over from Shanxi car. We package of a blessing to Seoul than Otto major points, starting from the Yichuan to Hukou, return to Yichuan to Huangling, a total of 380. A single round trip of 100 km to the Hukou should be 160, Yichuan to Huangling 170 km. Dayu County only slightly better stay hotels, hanging two stars, the environment in general, three human 180. Late and other government guest houses covered, you may go about points. We feel that there is a give Henhen to slaughter. Local security is not a good night Heihu Hu, and pollution is severe.
January 30, the beginning of nine. 8:00 early in the morning went to the Yellow River Hukou, and nearly an hour away. Hukou scenic points of Shanxi, Shaanxi, respectively, on both sides of selling tickets. Normal, then, is not directly between the two sides. Only by 4 to 5 kilometers downstream of the Yellow River Iron Bridge (out of the scenic area) for adoption. It is from the Yellow River in Shanxi Province on the side of the ice bridge over the summer, then, only with the Blackie Ko different. We feel that the other side of the viewing angle of Hukou in Shanxi, just winter, "Hukou" significantly better than in Shaanxi, there is a positive. However, in the summer if the water large, overflowing river, that's probably the opposite. 50 yuan on the back of the old scene is said to be a great time of water in Shaanxi scene was shot. Reading Hukou, if it is unilateral estimated to one hour, if, as we did for nearly two hours, if it is normal to go over the bridge to see both sides of the scenery, walking at least 4 hours, said the bridge Shanxi side, the same Pull your car into the area, but do not have tickets for. Reading out straight Huangling. State Road there is a very good walk through Fuxian, Luochuan, to Huangling, three that ate lunch. S tomb and the temple are together Xuanyuan tickets is 36 +26. Two are not worthy. The normal play time, even walking up the hill, a half-hour is sufficient. Xuanyuan road at the entrance to the temple can be stopped crossing the car to Xi'an. Luxury bus 30, three hours to Xi'an. Xi'an taxi to be careful, anyway, little Xi'an, Guangzhou or less the same, the car hit the table it wants to, 1.3 Yuan a kilometer. Xi'an Bell Tower next to the food street of a small, very good.
January 31, the beginning of 10. We are chartered to the terracotta warriors and horses, pack into the 15 o'clock, do not take the high-speed 170 yuan, in fact, do not take the time difference ten minutes to go high bar, one-way for 40 minutes. Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Xi'an Railway Station has to go non-stop bus. Terracotta warriors and horses off-season tickets for 65, season 90, in Shaanxi, a student vote on its territory, about three and a half hours. Qin Mausoleum is a newly developed, and can not enter the underground palace, it did not go. In the scenic town to eat lunch, and went to Huaqing Pool, and very close, out of the city is. In that we are being scammed. To remind you that, now grasping CHEUNG Ting and the spots are separated from the two attractions, roadside solicitation will you grasp the mountains pulled CHEUNG Ting Li (1 million), or Peak (2 million), and then charge you 30 yuan Tickets (Li Shan Park), to tell you straight down into the spots can be. Grasping CHEUNG Ting waiting for you after reading down the mountain, then find spots to charge the 40 yuan ticket. Li Hill Park are the new temple, very bad. When we are down almost all of them like to cheated. A waste of our time. We return to the town, went to the Small Wild Goose Pagoda and the South Gate (Kling tons entering the city that the door), and then direct chartered to the Xianyang airport, chartered about 80 ~ 100 yuan, about 45 minutes drive to see the location in the urban areas may be, take a bus to be 20 per person.
Postscript:
Shanxi: 1. Dirty place, the hand is a dark day, are dust. If that Xiongtai are interested, in that sweep the streets, they sell the prospective earn to eat dust.
2. Datong and Pingyao is worth again, and the other, even if we had.
3. The train is very well-developed province, convenient, cheap and on time.
4. Shanxi is the birthplace of profiteers, especially Southerners. But the common people of outsiders is still very warm and hospitable, and the people is still quite good.
5. The weather is relatively cold, at minus 20 to minus 5 degrees, but few of us are wearing four Cantonese clothes, three pants, who do not feel cold, but wearing two pairs of gloves, hands numb with cold faster .
The key is not a long time when no heating of the local activities.
6. Wutai Mountain is said to be closing off hills, and minus 30 degrees, but no car, we did not go.
7. Shanxi road traffic outside the main direction to the North China, especially Beijing direction, each city has a non-stop express train to Beijing.
8. The province's tourist attractions tickets are very expensive, a good point to bring student cards. In Pingyao checking the check is very tight, other places, shake on the list.
9. Shanxi, the disparity is very serious for us, it's poor little impact on our activities. However, in northern Shaanxi is the poor, and it is kind of out of tune with modern society.
Shaanxi:
1, where the highway speed is too slow, and with the South side not the same. Direct inter-city express train of small, regular buses running speed is not to be commended. Northern Shaanxi rail transportation systems were underdeveloped, but they can fly.
2, significantly higher than the climate in northern Shaanxi, Shanxi side of good, a lot warmer.
3, Xi'an, gives the feeling that a tourist city, all aspects of the environment are relatively modern.
4, Shaanxi, the external road traffic is mainly to the northwest direction, to the northwest of Xi'an, there are buses in major cities, including Urumqi.
5, locals said, Yan'an security not so good, a lot of pickpockets, we are not being met on the road, but really not work Yichuan.
6, Shaanxi Province's tourist attractions tickets slightly cheaper than that in Shanxi, but no student ticket.
