It has become a unique and precious work of Mr. Qigong. The Grand Opera Hall guest house is located at the Nine Dragons of Pingyao ancient city, with Confucian temple and God of wealth temple in the west, Kuixing tower in the South and ancient city wall in the East.

Staying at Xieshengchang Mansion in the center of Pingyao Ancient City is a luxurious experience that travels through time and space. This newly opened boutique homestay in 2024 is located at No. 3 Dongguojia Lane. You can see the towering golden roof of the city building by opening the window. It is a 3-minute walk to the main lane of Ming and Qing Street. Whether it is to enjoy the night view of the ancient city with swaying lanterns at night or to capture the light and shadow of the first ray of sunlight on the bluestone road in the morning, it is surprisingly convenient.
The inn perfectly combines the architectural essence of the Shanxi Merchants' Courtyard with modern intelligence. The memory foam mattress in the single-family couple's room makes people sink into the softness of the clouds, and the Jomoo smart toilet and dry and wet separation bathroom show thoughtful details. The most amazing thing is the duplex loft design, with warm-colored palace lanterns hanging from the wooden beam dome. Lying on the carved wooden couch, reading books and drinking tea, you can hear the sound of beads of the ticket shop owner a hundred years ago. The butler service is even more meticulous, from the special car pick-up from the high-speed rail station to the warm gesture of sending hot towels late at night, and even the tickets for the performance of ”See Pingyao Again” can help book preferential seats.
I especially recommend their Jinyun morning tea. In the courtyard of the quadrangle, you can enjoy freshly cooked millet porridge in the morning light, accompanied by homemade Pingyao beef sauce. When you leave, you will also receive a polished lacquer bookmark as a souvenir. If there is one regret, it is that I didn’t experience all the room types in three days. From the Suzhou embroidery screen in the Jincui room to the starry skylight in the Xiangyue room, each room is an independent aesthetic space, making people want to check in once a month. Such a residence with both cultural charm and comfortable experience is definitely the best way to unlock the ancient city of Pingyao!

I chose to stay at the Leisure Hotel during my trip to Pingyao Ancient City, and the experience was great. The hotel is located in the ancient city, with an excellent location and convenient transportation. The surrounding bustling streets are within walking distance, and it is quiet in the hustle and bustle. From the beginning of booking, the butler took the initiative to contact and provide pick-up service from the station to the hotel. The small tricycle shuttled through the ancient city, which was very convenient.
The hotel's decoration is very distinctive, antique, and every detail is carefully considered. The room is clean and tidy, with complete facilities. In terms of catering, the breakfast is exquisite and varied, and the chef will introduce special dishes. In the evening, you can dine in the hotel restaurant, the taste is authentic and the ingredients are fresh. The staff is warm and thoughtful, and they answer all questions. Whether it is location, environment, service or catering, Leisure Hotel has performed well. I highly recommend it. Next time you come to Pingyao, it will still be your first choice.

GGuest UserI came to Shanxi following the Black Myth route, and this homestay really amazed me! The night view inside Boya Residence is so photogenic that every shot feels like a blockbuster movie! It is one kind of scenery during the day, and it is another kind of scenery when you come back from the busiest main street and enter the courtyard at night. It is really beautiful, absolutely stunning. I took a lot of great photos in the courtyard, and I didn't have to retouch them. The courtyard was really comfortable and quiet. It was really leisurely to have a cup of tea in the courtyard and enjoy this moment of tranquility. Every detail in the room of this store is really pleasing. The beautiful boss will stand from the perspective of the guests to prepare everything in the room. This trip to Pingyao Ancient City is really worth it. When you come to Pingyao, you must stay in the courtyard of the beautiful sister's house, which is also an ancient courtyard with a history of the Qing Dynasty.
GGuest UserWe stayed at thos lovely hotel. Lovingly restored by the current owner Mr Wang. He is the 6th generation owner of the property.
Until 10 years ago it was a derelict and dilapidated building. He poured money, time, blood, sweat and tears to restore it
And it does feel and look like a traditional house.
You feel you are going back in time.
Firstly the customer service is way beyond the call of duty. Its so good, i would recommend staying with mr Wang at whatever hotel he runs.
He picked us at the Lower East Gate, and brought us to the hotel, then took nearly half an hour to explain in great detail where we need to visit, whether the sights be in the city or outside the city.
Some of his suggestions, not on the tour books were very good . For example he suggested 3 restaurants, and we avoided them thinking he was getting a kickback.on our 4th and last day we tried restaurant no 2 of his. And it was good , the food and service were good. The prices were average with other restaurants and we got a 10% discount being the hotel's guests. And remember we had eaten 10 meals by the time we came to his suggestions.
Another suggestion of Mr Wang was Ma family home - also a very good tip from him.
Everytime we had a request or question he always responded with enthusiasm.
On our last day we checked out at 4am and he still took us to the pick up point at that ungodly hour.
Yep Mr and Mrs Wang's customer service is just first class.
The room was large, queen deluxe double, and the furnishings were traditional chinese furniture made of Rosewood. Very Expensive furniture for a hotel room. Shower worked well and was hot. However be aware its chinese style wet floor system ie there is no shower curtain between the shower and a small part of the bathroom does get wet if youare not careful. MR Wang said it will be one his improvement on his priority list. Hopefully by the time you booked the problem will have been resolved
The hotel is very close to the main streets. About 5 min walk.
The city of pingyao is worth visiting, it is one of the very walled cities left in China, with its old buildings intact and people still living it. All the city walls are also intact. Magnificent at night.
SShuaishuaiguoshinenglizheI saw online that it was a new hotel, but the location was good, so I booked it with the mentality of giving it a try. After arriving at the store, I found that the location is perfect, quiet in the midst of a hustle and bustle, near the intersection of the most lively Chenghuangmiao Street and South Street, and there is an exclusive walkway with a unique artistic conception. The store is fully equipped with good brands, including Midea home appliances, smart toilets, and Delixi switches and sockets. For hot water, there is a convenient and hygienic mineral water instant heater. The bathroom is equipped with free disposable toilet seats, disposable bath towels, and disposable towels, which are thick and of good quality. The toiletries are also of good quality, and there are disposable paper cups for drinking water. The temperature in the room is very good. It has floor heating, so it's not cold even in the middle of winter without turning on the air conditioner. The yard is very quiet, the living experience is very good and safe. The most important thing is that the boss is so nice. He gave us a map, introduced several attractions worth visiting in the ancient city and gave travel suggestions. The recommended restaurants were delicious and affordable, much better than those we found ourselves. When we checked out, the boss gave us two bottles of vinegar. From the rooms to the service, I can really feel the owner's attentiveness and taste. He runs this B&B as if it were his own home. If relatives and friends come to the ancient city in the future, I will definitely recommend this place first.
GGuest UserThe hostel is super cute with a lot of plants. The owner speaks good English and is super friendly, the room was nice and cozy, and the location is just a few minutes by foot from the ancient town. You can buy additional breakfast which is delicious.
KK Hoffman (Canada)Fantastic ancient Chinese lodging with modern amenities. You get the chance to sleep on a Luohan bed. The room is a suite!
Within Pingyao walled city, it was easy to go to visit the sites. The lady owner gave me a map. Even though I speak no Chinese and they speak no English, we were able to communicate using a translator app. She recommended a restaurant when I asked.
They made the utmost effort to make your stay enjoyable. The owner took me to the railway station when I left.
P.S. Best to download MAPS.ME as it will work offline. Google Maps does not work in China. The taxi will drop you outside the city wall and you can ride the shuttle to the hotel. Make sure you got the Chinese address. Also same possible, install the Wechat app as it is used widely in China - you text in English they translate to Chinese and vice versa.
RRinMMReally love the hotel’s a**osphere. It is cool both scenery and weather. There aren’t much noice and people around the hotel, a little walk and you will reach some of the tourist’s attraction. Some employees can speak english or if not, wechat is the best help. They also booked taxi and drop us off by the taxi, the service was wonderful. Will stay here again if there’s a chance of visiting.
GGuest UserI wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful experience I had during my recent stay at your charming establishment in Pingyao.
From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the quaint beauty and authentic atmosphere of Delian Boutique Homestay. The historic architecture, thoughtfully designed rooms, and attention to detail in every corner made for a truly enchanting environment.
The warm and welcoming staff immediately made me feel like a valued guest. Their genuine hospitality, local insights, and willingness to go the extra mile for every request left a lasting impression.
Furthermore, the central location of Delian Boutique Homestay allowed for convenient access to the town's historical sites, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the rich culture and heritage of Pingyao.
I cannot speak highly enough of my stay at Delian Boutique Homestay. It exceeded all expectations and left me with cherished memories. I will wholeheartedly recommend your homestay to anyone seeking an authentic and memorable experience in Pingyao.
Thank you once again for providing such a remarkable stay. I look forward to the opportunity to return in the future.
GGuest UserI traveled with my husband. I was originally going to Taiyuan, but later I suddenly had the idea of visiting Pingyao Ancient City. It was really worth the trip. The high-speed rail arrived at just 12 o'clock. The normal check-in time is 2 o'clock. I called the hotel to see if there were any rooms available for check-in. The front desk informed us that there were rooms and they could pick us up. After informing us of the location, we were picked up very quickly. Every service staff member had a very good attitude. The front desk sister also gave us a travel map to tell us where to have fun, which saved a lot of time. During the day, my husband and I went to take photos of the Pingyao check-in goddess. At night, we watched the light show and came back late. I didn't expect that there was still a light waiting for us. The aunt asked us kindly if we were back. Every scene in the hotel is especially suitable for taking pictures. There are also free Hanfu to wear. It's great. I slept very well at night. The sister also upgraded our room. The room design is very unique and quiet. There are also small gifts for us. The oranges sent are also very sweet. When I woke up at night, it was breakfast time. The breakfast variety is not much, but there is a very strong feeling in it. You can eat enough. In the end, I didn't eat the beef patties given by the aunt. The uncles and aunts are very polite and enthusiastic. They said that we often eat takeout and want to eat something healthy There are still many places that I haven't praised on this trip, but the experience is already great. The bed is also very comfortable. If you come to Pingyao for a trip, you can come and experience it! By the way, it's in the ancient city, and it's very convenient to go anywhere.
SSteven Van EmelenWhat a wonderful experience! The hotel is located in a beautiful historic setting within the ancient city walls of Pingyao, right in the heart of the old town. The atmosphere is truly authentic—you feel like you've stepped back in time. It's the perfect base for exploring this charming city.
The rooms are clean and reflect the traditional style of the surroundings, adding to the overall charm. But what truly made our stay special was the staff: incredibly friendly and always willing to help. Despite the language barrier, they went out of their way to communicate with us, using translation apps and lots of patience. We felt genuinely welcomed.
All in all, highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and memorable stay in historic Pingyao!
GGuest UserThe B&B is located in the center of the ancient city and is convenient for travel. The boss has carefully decorated the courtyard. When you wake up in the morning, the entire courtyard is filled with sunshine, making it warm and comfortable! The Ming and Qing Dynasty Dazhuang house we stayed in had two interior and exterior rooms. The retro home design made us feel like we were transported back in time.
