Walking in the rain in Pingyao ancient city

202 1,101On the evening of October 4th, we left Xiyang County, Shanxi Province in a drizzle. It was a temporary arrangement to go to Xiyang County, so I didn't consider staying here.

The car got on the highway and drove aimlessly forward. I really don't know where I went. It's a little far to go home. It's only the 4th, and there are still three days before the holiday. Time cannot be wasted. Forget it, let's have a rest in a service area on the expressway. If not, take a deep sleep and wait until dawn.

It is raining again! As we all know, the rain has been continuous since then, which makes people's hair stand on end.

It seems that I slept well this night. 202 1, 10 year 10 in the early morning of October 5, I was startled when I woke up. It's almost 7 o'clock. But what about getting up early? It's raining outside, so it's not convenient to go anywhere.

In fact, the ancient city of Pingyao is not far away, mainly because Yang came last year, and then there is no such freshness. It's just that I've never been here. Finally, I said I had nowhere to go, so I went to Pingyao ancient city.

Shanxi is so big, how can there be no place to go? It's mainly raining, and it's a stranger. Despite the overwhelming news on the Internet, there are few firm and accurate news, and some news is not so accurate. Everyone's experience is different.

Despite the rain, the parking lot of Pingyao ancient city is full of cars, and the rain can't stop people's enthusiasm. It seems that big scenic spots are as popular as popular stars. Unlike unknown scenic spots, few people maintain them, and tourists are scattered and scattered, so tourists can only entertain themselves. Some big scenic spots have connotations, and some stars have faces or works.

I have heard about the ancient city of Pingyao for countless times, but I finally came, or I made a temporary decision, which was not so firm.

The ancient city of Pingyao is not quite what I expected. My favorite ancient city of Pingyao is a castle, which is layered and surrounded by circles. Maybe I forgot, this is in the north. Pingyao is an ancient city in the north, which is still different from the ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River. It's different from foreign stones. In a word, my imagination of Pingyao ancient city is beyond ordinary small towns. Maybe it's a beautiful place in my mind. It's all carved beams and painted columns, and it's all once. Are wooden doors and windows, a layer of history, a layer of the past.

Although it is different from what I imagined, it does not affect the massiness and beauty of Pingyao ancient city at all.

Pingyao ancient city does not accept tickets, but it charges to enter its former residence and small scenic spots. You can buy a joint ticket at the door. If you just want to feel the atmosphere of the ancient city, just relax and have a look around. If you don't buy a ticket, no one will force you to walk in and out.

Yang and I walked roughly several main streets in the ancient city. Enter the city from the south gate, go east to Yingxunmen, turn back to Yingxunmen, then go north to the main street where the county government is located, go all the way north, stroll a few east-west streets, then go west along the main street of the county government, go out from the back west gate, find snacks in Pingyao County, and then go into the city from the west gate (Fengyimen). West Street is very prosperous. Be sure to have a good look when you have the opportunity in the future. We walked in a hurry and tired. Our shoes are wet, and so are our trouser legs. We need to go back.

We parked our car in a parking lot not far from the highway. Parking here is not recommended online. It is recommended to park in Shangxiguan parking lot or Beimen parking lot.

Xiaxiguan parking lot (up or down) is not far from Pingyao County Food Street. In fact, the so-called food street is even more famous than the food in Pingyao ancient city. It is said that there are many family hotels in the north gate parking lot, and the streets are bustling. The day we went there was restricted everywhere, so we had to stop at the southernmost tip.

When we park, there are always staff waiting. The service of Pingyao ancient city is good, and the tips are in place. Buying and selling is not strong, making money harmoniously. Besides, people are not afraid of such a large scenic spot and so many passengers, and they have seen many situations. I won't waste my breath with you.

When we got off the bus, the staff reminded us to scan the code there first, reminding you how to pay attention and how to operate. Enter the city after code scanning inspection and verification, and check again when entering the city. As a reminder, it's a long way and it's inconvenient in rainy days. You can buy tickets by car again. Of course, you can choose to walk into the city. No one is angry with you, and no one will stop you.

It has been raining, and it seems to be raining harder and harder.

We enter the city from the south gate, but it's not far. We entered the ancient city in less than ten minutes.

Water has formed on the ground, splashing. On the wall next to Tucheng, the walls and walls softened by rain are distressing.

Just looking at a street may look like many ancient cities in the north, and there is not much difference. But magnified, Pingyao ancient city is surrounded by city walls.

Xi 'an also has a city wall, but there is nothing in Xi 'an's city wall, nothing can carry the corresponding culture of the ancient city, and nothing can match the city wall. Some people say there are bell towers and drum towers. , but they are all in their own way and there is no visual group effect.

Xi 'an ancient city is a general term, while Pingyao ancient city is realistic.

Datong ancient city also has walls, blocks, alleys and ancient buildings. It's just that the block is too new and the cultural buildings are not thick enough.

On rainy days, walking on the streets of the ancient city has a charm, like lyrical prose and full piano. There are not many people in the block, and everything seems to be just right. It's just that the rain is too heavy and dense, which will disturb the interest of tourists.

The buses in the ancient city of Pingyao are very fast, and the drivers are all familiar with the road. Brush and drive forward, one after another. Yang said that if it is sunny, there will be a long queue for people waiting for the bus. It's fine on rainy days. Leave when the bus comes and wait for someone.

In the vinegar shop where vinegar is bought, the little girl is wearing a little red coat, with a neat lock of hair on her forehead gently sticking to it, her eyes wide open, looking at the passers-by, looking inside and visiting for free. I turned around and it was still a little expensive. Vinegar is more expensive than oil.

The little brother of the online celebrity restaurant shouted at the door that the online celebrity first food store has come to eat, and Pingyao ancient city is the most popular. Objectively speaking, the food in the ancient city is more affordable and cheaper than that outside the ancient city, which shows the management way of Shanxi people. Daoxiao Noodles 7 yuan 1 Bowl in Pingyao Ancient City, and 8 yuan 9 yuan, Lian 10 yuan outside. Where we go, many shops buy breakfast, clearly mark the price, and even write down what they can eat if they spend more money.

Walking in the ancient city of Pingyao, Yang told their last story, where they went and what the scene was. How about the buildings inside, how well they are preserved and so on. Yang said that the performance of "Look at Pingyao again" was very shocking and immersive. Walking and watching, the scene in front of you.

Yang went on to say that there was a performance in the county government-the county magistrate judged the case, but a group of officials were elderly people, and found such a scene particularly interesting. Young people are busy with big things, and it is also a pleasure for the elderly to bring some fun to the audience present.

We walked along the street. After seeing this street, we wanted to see that street, but we could never finish it. Everywhere in the ancient city is the same, but different, revealing different beauty and feelings.

We came out of the south gate again and left the ancient city of Pingyao. When I left, I thought, Shanxi should not be poor or backward, and look at the world. Throughout the north, Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia, Hebei-Henan-Shaanxi provinces, we can find out what is comparable to Pingyao ancient city. Shanxi people have their own tenacity. In the new journey, they will not fall behind and will certainly catch up.

Looking at Shanxi in five thousand years' culture, it is not empty or lying in the loud sound of culture, which will certainly carry forward the connotation of Shanxi merchants and explore a new road to Dazhai.
