The Jin Merchant themed photo shoot left me with unforgettable memories!✅ I made plans with my bestie to go to Pingyao this weekend to take a set of photos unique to Shanxi's Jin Merchant mansions. After doing some research online, we set off. Many sisters mentioned Xitang Travel Photography, so I booked a package for 298 yuan, which includes retouching of six photos, makeup and photography, and it felt like a good deal. ✅ The studio was easy to find. After leaving the train station, I entered from the Lower West Gate of the ancient city and walked straight for about 12 minutes to get there. Sisters who can't find it can locate Rishengchang, and Xitang Travel Photography is right across from Rishengchang (after the shoot, you can go to the scenic spots in costume to take pictures, which feels more atmospheric). ✅ There were many Jin Merchant costumes in the store, not just Jin Merchant clothing, but I also saw ethnic styles and many hairpins that are popular recently. I suggest that sisters choose bright colors for their clothes to create a stark contrast with the ancient houses, which makes for great photos! ✅ The makeup took about twenty minutes to complete. A young lady did my makeup, and I felt her aesthetic sense was very much on point. She helped match the jewelry with the color scheme of my clothes, which was very considerate~ Another important point! False eyelashes! They really enlarge the eyes, and if you have your own favorite style, you can bring it~ ✅ For the post-production, I chose 6 photos to be retouched. Overall, I felt the retouching was very detailed, and I was satisfied that they didn't blindly slim down the photos, retaining the original feel. If you want a more dramatic effect, you need to communicate with the editor, but they are generally accommodating. - 🌟 Little tips: ① To avoid crowds, go early. The number of people starts to increase around noon, and if you want to take street scenes, there will inevitably be passersby in the shots. ② Some spots along Nanda Street included in the ancient city pass are suitable for taking photos (the City Tower is very photogenic). ③ Personally, I think the most photogenic spot is the Ma Family Courtyard, which looks especially beautiful in photos. When I went there, I also saw many 'young mistresses'.SCARLETT CHRISTENSEN

Pingyao Ancient City, commercialization is still too serious, the food personally does not feel delicious, the bar music sound is too noisy at night, the pet is more friendly, the attractions have packages, the whole can also be
After two days, I saw the basic important attractions. The footpower is not very good. If people who exercise often, they are estimated to see more. The overall price is quite worth the fare. The pass is valid for three days, but few people should be able to stay for three days. If you stay for a day, you have to make a choice, and you must get up early in the morning to start the visit. If you stay for two days, then look at 80% of the difference. I have seen several ticket numbers, two bureaus, newspaper museums, county halls, Chenghuang Temple and Confucian Temple. Unfortunately, I didn’t go to the city wall and Ma’s compound.
The real 5A scenic spot, the records about Jinshang are very rich, you can watch it for 2 consecutive days with the ticket, it is worth it. There are many small shops in the city, and all kinds of Qing Dynasty travel clothes are so beautiful. The restaurants are also cheap and good, and there are many local products for sale in Shanxi. This is the second time I have come to the ancient city and will come again in the future.
Very worth looking forward to the famous historical and cultural city! Discover Jinshang culture from it! Be sure to find a tour guide to explain, otherwise it is a horse to watch the flowers! At a glance, you must see the shocking "See Pingyao again"!
The ancient city is very large. After a day of shopping, the pass 125 saw many cultural attractions. The price of snacks is not expensive. The two people in the ancient city restaurant are full of food within 100. The homestay in the ancient city is also very distinctive. The service is very good. The car has to be parked outside the city. The parking fee is 10 yuan, the price is moderate, and the travel experience is very good.
After looking at the code and letting go to the city, you can swipe your card to enter at the entrance of each specific attraction. It is convenient to use, but each point can only be used once. For example, after going up at the South City Gate, you can’t go up to the North City Gate. The central area is near the city building. That is, the south section of South Street and the center near the city building, the commercial atmosphere in the whole area is very strong, Chinese KFC... Jin-style travel photography is everywhere, maintenance and construction are also more common, a day of good physical strength can be strolled down, if you don’t need to go shopping for all the elderly, it’s enough to go shopping for a day, right, The car in the area can be chartered for 100 yuan. If it is inconvenient to walk with the elderly, you can consider chartering a car.
The content of the attractions in the package is similar. Just look at a few typical ones. It is recommended to recommend Majia Courtyard, Rishengchang, Luju, Xieqiqing, County Lu, Confucian Temple, Chenghuang Temple, and the ancient city wall. At 9 pm, the light show outside the Yinglu Gate is very shocking and worth seeing. The dining in the ancient city is expensive and the standard is average. Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple are highly recommended
I also grew up in the ancient city. I went to Pingyao, Shanxi. It was a different customs. Although the ancient city was close to the age, the style and humanities were different. It was also very interesting. Shanxi people were very enthusiastic and hardworking. I bought old vinegar. It is brewed in the vinegar workshop of the Zhenger Bajing ancestral. The building is also very distinctive! Stayed for one night at the gate of Jinshang's Mansion, and experienced the life of Jinshang's young grandmother through time and space.
