Choosing the right airport for your trip to Pingyao depends heavily on your arrival point and budget. While no airport is located in Pingyao, Taiyuan Yaocheng Airport (TYC) is the closest facility in the neighboring city of Taiyuan, serving as the most convenient arrival point. Taiyuan Wusu International Airport (TYN) is the region's primary hub with the widest range of domestic connections and excellent high-speed rail links to Pingyao. For travelers approaching from the south, Linfen Yaodu Airport (LFQ) offers a viable, less congested alternative with good rail connectivity. Meanwhile, Xinzhou Wutaishan Airport (WUT) and Changzhi Wangcun Airport (CIH) are best suited for those specifically exploring northern or southeastern Shanxi before heading to the ancient city. Generally, prioritize high-speed rail connections to avoid highway traffic, especially when traveling from the larger Taiyuan hubs. Always check local station transfers in advance as your final leg will likely involve a short taxi or bus ride to reach the ancient city gates.

I don't review everywhere I stay, just if some where is very good or very bad. This place was very good, a wonderful place to stay. The rooms are spotlessly clean, the a**osphere in the courtyard is beautiful. The owner, Harry, speaks good English and is very helpful in explaining the best spots to see in Pingyao.

The inn is located within Pingyao Ancient City. It's about a 10-minute walk from the West Gate. If you have a lot of luggage, you can contact the front desk for a pickup. The inn itself is a hundred-year-old quadrangle courtyard building with distinctively themed rooms. My room featured a spacious and comfortable 2.4-meter *kang* bed, and everything was clean and hygienic. The reception staff, Zhang Caiping, was incredibly thoughtful, warmly introducing us to the ancient city's unique attractions and transportation options. The inn's dinner primarily features Shanxi specialties, with dishes like醋鸡蛋 (vinegar eggs), 烤栳栳 (roasted *laolao* noodles), and 陈醋花生 (aged vinegar peanuts) being particularly distinctive and delicious. Breakfast was simple, clean, hygienic, and tasty. On the day we checked out, it was raining lightly, so Zhang Caiping arranged for a free bus to take us to the West Gate parking lot. This gesture made us feel incredibly warm and eased any disappointment we had about touring the ancient city in the rain.FromUS$195

Four families traveled together and booked five rooms. The entire experience was exceptionally worry-free. The butler proactively contacted us in advance, sent us travel guides, helped us purchase tickets for the 'Meet Pingyao Again' show, reserved dinner at the hotel, and even arranged a tour guide and a shuttle for us, saving us a lot of hassle.
The courtyard is charming and ancient, and the rooms are clean and tidy. The traditional 'kang' (heated bed) was very comfortable to sleep on. The hotel dinner was outstanding, and the breakfast selection was incredibly rich, featuring many local specialties, including freshly shaved and deliciously chewy knife-cut noodles. The guesthouse even has its own vinegar workshop where you can sample aged vinegars, and we took a few bottles home as gifts. The ancient courtyard has a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend it for family trips; it's perfect for a relaxing stay of a few days!FromUS$178

1. **Excellent Location:** Situated on North Street in the ancient city, about 400 meters from the North Gate. It's a short walk to the Ming and Qing old street and the City Tower, making it super convenient for exploring the ancient city. The hotel is a traditional courtyard house with red lanterns throughout, creating a strong, picturesque atmosphere – great for photos! They even have 'kang' (heated bed) rooms for a unique Jinnese residential experience.
2. **Thoughtful Service for Drivers:** Since motor vehicles aren't allowed in the ancient city, guests park in the public lot outside the North Gate. Staff come to pick you up and help with luggage, which is a huge plus for those traveling with seniors or a lot of bags.
3. **Comprehensive Amenities:** Breakfast is provided, and there's a small noodle shop within the courtyard. Some rooms on the second floor offer night views of the ancient city's rooftops. They can also connect you with traditional style photography services at a discount. 24-hour hot water and air conditioning are standard.
4. **Good Service Reputation:** The housekeeper offers travel advice, luggage storage is available, and guests receive a small souvenir upon departure. It's a popular choice for families and those traveling with children.FromUS$22

Very beautiful courtyard, good service, but the bathroom is too small. Accommodation in the ancient city scenic spot is understandable.
Hygiene: OK, it is a homestay, and the overall quality is about the same.
Environment: The environment is really good, it is convenient to go anywhere, very close to the main street, turn into the alley next to Erlang Temple and turn left, turn right at the first intersection and go about 40 meters in.FromUS$22

The hotel is in an excellent location🥰 located in a bustling neighborhood, very close to the Escort Bureau Museum, Xietongqing, Rishengchang, Tongxinggong and other attractions, about a few minutes away, in the same building as Hongwuji, and quite close to restaurants. It's only ten minutes away from Yingxunmen to watch the light show at night. There are travel photography shops such as Jiuer next to it. The room environment is particularly antique, clean and hygienic. The boss's attitude is particularly good. Seeing that we were carrying luggage and children, he also arranged a pick-up service. It was really thoughtful. Highly recommended😄😄FromUS$18

All hotels were at high prices during the National Day holiday. Choosing not to stay in the ancient city proved to be the right decision, as it was incredibly crowded and noisy during the holiday.
The hotel is right next to ”Encounter Pingyao,” and a 5-minute walk from the West Gate of Pingyao Ancient City.
The hotel's exterior is in the style of the Republic of China era, blending perfectly with the atmosphere of the ancient city. The interior features an industrial style with a black, white, and gray color scheme, perfect for taking photos.
The rooms were spacious and comfortable. However, the next morning, the children checking out were very noisy, starting at 6 am. Because the cabinet doors are made of metal, the noise was extremely loud, preventing us from sleeping.
The front desk service was excellent, and there was free underground parking with charging stations and a gym. It was great value for money.FromUS$62

My travel plans suddenly changed, so I ended up in Pingyao, a place I hadn't visited in many years. The city has changed a lot! The most pleasant surprise was finding this guesthouse online. My first impression was how thoughtful and enthusiastic the hosts were, and their dedicated service. They gave detailed recommendations on how to explore, where to eat, what to see, and even provided maps for tourists. They also arranged free pick-up and drop-off, which made me feel incredibly at ease. Then there was the environment itself... simply stunning! It was quiet, elegant, with the grandeur of a Jin merchant compound and the beauty of a smaller garden. Truly, every corner was a picturesque spot, perfect for photos. It’s an ideal courtyard for girlfriends who love taking pictures. Each room in the guesthouse is unique, offering a variety of styles to suit different preferences. We decided to extend our stay for another night without hesitation. Being in such an environment made us feel comfortable, secure, and completely relaxed.FromUS$179

The Xinghuacun Hotel boasts an excellent location right in the heart of Pingyao Ancient City, directly across from the county government office. A right turn out of the hotel brings you to the bustling South Street, where all the major attractions are located. The rooms are incredibly spacious and feature double sinks. They're also super cool; we didn't even need to use the AC at night, making for a very comfortable sleep. The abalone millet porridge at breakfast was delicious, and the pour-over latte coffee was just as good as what you'd find in a coffee shop. The mini-fridge was stocked with various complimentary beverages, and all the bottled water was Baishui Mountain brand. What surprised us most was the complimentary fruit delivered every afternoon, and a thoughtful farewell gift upon check-out. The service truly was superb! 👍 Highly recommended!FromUS$180

Staying at Lixia was absolutely the biggest surprise of my trip to Pingyao, exceeding all expectations – I wholeheartedly recommend it!
The courtyard is an authentic Jin-style quadrangle (siheyuan), with blue bricks, wooden windows, and red lanterns creating a rich, antique atmosphere. It's serene and elegant, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the bustling ancient city. Located right in the heart of the old town, it’s just a few minutes' walk to major attractions, making shopping and dining incredibly convenient. Finding such tranquility in a lively area, sitting on a lounge chair in the courtyard, sipping tea and relaxing – the experience was truly fulfilling.
The butler team's service was genuinely impeccable. After booking, the butler proactively contacted me to arrange transfers. Whether it was the high-speed rail station or the bus station, there was a dedicated car service, and staff helped with luggage, making the whole process hassle-free. During my stay, they were highly responsive on WeChat, making every effort to fulfill any request. They also thoughtfully recommended sightseeing routes and local delicacies. Every small detail was considered, and their genuine warmth and hospitality truly made me feel at home.
The hardware facilities perfectly blend ancient charm with modern comfort. The room was spotlessly clean, the bedding was soft and gentle on the skin, and the entire room featured smart controls. The bathroom facilities were comprehensive, leading to a very comfortable stay. The daily fresh breakfast used quality ingredients, with dishes changing daily, offering nutritious and delicious options – the pork rib soup, in particular, was incredibly fragrant and rich. VOSS mineral water was provided in the room, showing thoughtfulness in every detail.
The ancient architecture preserves historical charm, while the interior hardware is top-notch, complemented by the meticulous service of the butler team. It’s perfect for both family vacations and trips with friends. My entire stay was a perfect 10, and if I ever return to Pingyao, I will unhesitatingly choose Lixia again!FromUS$132
