Pingyao Grand Theater Hall East Garden

I attach several photos: the Pingyao Grand Theatre is a historic site with many of the hallmarks of the temples I came to visit. The ancient building is beautiful. The hosts were welcoming with a demeanour befitting their valuation of their ancient building. Within minutes, the lady of the house was able to arrange for a car to take me to the wonderful temples at Xiaoxitian and Shuanglin. The other lady met me and arranged for a free transport to the railway station. It was a pleasure to experience ancient China for a couple of days. Xiexie

Beautiful hotel right in the center of Pingyao Ancient City, a few steps away from the northern end of the famed Ming & Qing Street. Easy to locate and the lady in the reception is friendly and helpful. The public areas are clean and well tended to and needless to say very instagramable. If you had visited the Wang or Qiao family compound, this hotel will let you experience living in one of those courtyard chambers. The room combines old and modern touches with a modern toilet and comfortable old styled bed. Strong heating and a strong hot shower ensures you feel comfortable during the colder months. Great feeling that your hotel is right in the middle of the ancient city after tiring day of walking. The complimentary transfer to the train station and vinegar gift upon check out is a nice touch. You won't regret staying here.
