    Aside from the crowds, there are no other problems. It has a classic and antique feel, and the shops inside are very bustling, with everything you need for eating, drinking, and entertainment. Some local specialties are worth buying. The overall planning of the scenic area is also good, with both a sense of traditional history and a modern atmosphere. It's worth a visit.

    Perhaps because of the rain, there weren't many people. It's a small ancient town with almost no interactive activities. There were only a few shows, which weren't as good as the online reviews suggested. The food at the small shops was expensive and mediocre. More importantly, while it's a half-hour taxi ride there, it took ages to get back. I finally managed to get a shared ride, but they wouldn't even charge extra. Transportation is inconvenient. The 98 yuan entrance fee only covered the night view.

    The Yin Ruins Museum is a great place to learn about Shang Dynasty culture. The museum's overall design is also very nice. The combined ticket includes a free shuttle bus ride, which is very convenient for traveling between the three areas. However, when I visited, there were students on a field trip, and the crowds were ridiculously large when buying fridge magnets.

    Overall, it's alright. The environment is beautiful and comfortable, especially the gate, which is quite spectacular, haha. If you like archaeology and history, you'll find it interesting, as it provides a direct understanding of oracle bone inscriptions and the excavation process. It's pretty good, but the ticket price feels a bit expensive...

    Longxing Temple was originally named Longzang Temple, and its name was changed to Longxing Temple during the Tang Dynasty. In the fourth year of the Kaibao era of the Northern Song Dynasty (971 AD), a Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue was cast and the Great Compassion Pavilion was built by order of Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, forming the main architectural complex of the Song Dynasty. It was repaired during the Jin, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, and underwent large-scale reconstruction during the Kangxi and Qianlong eras of the Qing Dynasty, forming a three-section layout of east, central, and west. After falling into disrepair in modern times, it was restored to its original appearance through scientific preservation after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Longxing Temple is a typical example for studying the layout of Buddhist temple architecture, integrating Buddhist art with traditional Chinese culture. Emperors of past dynasties, such as Kangxi and Qianlong, once stayed there. We also visited Longxing Temple to experience the architectural styles of the Tang, Song, and Qing dynasties, to feel the Buddha's broad-mindedness, and to feel the traces of the past.

    As the filming location for the classic version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", it made good use of this theme, recreating many story scenes, and also allowing for a deeper understanding of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Cao Xueqin and "Redology".

    Perhaps because we went in winter, there weren't many people, and the mountains were all gray. The small waterfalls at Peach Blossom Pool were quite nice; walking down the steps took a little over an hour, which was acceptable. The glass walkway and the viewing platform at Dream Valley each cost 50 yuan per person, but they both seemed to be closed today. The first driver of the minibus we encountered asked us a question as soon as we entered. He didn't answer while driving, but rather abruptly patted the sign above his head: "Fasten your seatbelts, don't talk to the driver." We thought that made sense, so we didn't ask again. After all, it's a mountain road, and safety comes first. There were only the three of us on the bus, but he didn't talk to us, probably because he was listening to an audiobook while driving. With few tourists in the dead of winter, the job must have been quite monotonous. The second driver, who drove what looked like an electric cart, chatted with tourists from Shanghai while driving. For some reason, he didn't take us to Wangxiangyan. Remember to sit on the left side of the sightseeing bus for better views.

    It's a bit of a journey from the hotel to Qiao Family Compound. If you're in Pingyao Ancient City, it's easy to get a ride there. But if you're on a group tour, it's not very comfortable, as the compound is quite large.

    It covers a large area and has a well-developed layout, nestled against the mountains and overlooking the water, reflecting the ancient city-building system. The watchtowers are very tall, giving it a strong sense of guarding the border and protecting against enemies. Walking on the city walls is a unique experience. However, it gets very sunny in the summer, and the streets feel quite hot. It's particularly suitable for taking photos in period costumes.
