I am in Xi 'an. Want to go to Pingyao. Wang's compound. Joe's yard. How to arrange the route? Shall we go to Pingyao or Wang's compound first?
You can take the train directly from Xi 'an to Pingyao, get off at Pingyao, and the ancient city is not far away. The ancient city can be built in one day. Accommodation is best to choose an inn in the ancient city, which is not expensive. I live in a very prosperous area, only 120/ day, and I can set the price. But the discount is not too much, the most is 10 yuan -20 yuan, and it will be unforgettable to see the night view of Pingyao. Stay one night and go to Joe's house the next day. From the ancient city, there is a long-distance bus station of 15 yuan/person on the main road behind Fengyimen, which goes directly to the entrance of Qiao's compound. Get out of Joe's house and wait for the bus across the street where you just got off. There is a bus to Jiexiu. You say go to the Wangs, and people will understand. The fare will be around 30 yuan, because it's far away. Then on the way back to Xi 'an. You can go shopping after a day. I hope I can help you.
