Staying in this hotel was one of the best experiences in China 🇨🇳. The manager did an absolutely fantastic job, taking us from the railway station and providing us with warm welcome. The quality of service in China is one of the best in the world and this place is a role model. We received gifts and bathroom equipment. We were showed how to visit the city and how to manage. The big advantage for this hotel is the place itself. It looks like a historic traditional Chinese style, and it makes the stay an adventure where you can go back in a time. It is a good mix between modern standard of living and traditional climate The last thing worth to mention, I forgot to take my cosmetic and the manager sent it to my hotel in Beijing immediately. About the city, people say that it is a touristic open-air museum and it is not an actual china. It is true, but this is why it is worth visiting this place as it is inspiring and climatic. It is not touristic in terms of Turkish or Egipt scams place, but it is touristic because of its history and buildings that the government decided to keep in unchanged shape. 2 nights would be perfect to go around in rest mode, before going to more crowded and noisy cities. Beware Alipay is necessary to buy tickets online and visit all museums.

I really made the right choice with this homestay in Pingyao! The location is absolutely a hidden gem—just a two-minute walk gets you to Rishengchang Bank, so there’s no need to get up early to soak in the Jin merchant culture. It’s super convenient to head back for a break after visiting the attractions. What’s more, the surrounding area is bustling with life. When you stroll out in the evening, the lanterns light up, and old shops and street food stalls are right in front of you, full of that lively, authentic vibe. No need to hunt for places to eat; just step into any spot, and it’s sure to be delicious. The biggest surprise, though, is the service here—they truly take care of every little detail. When I checked in, the owner warmly introduced local attractions, even telling me which shop has the most authentic Pingyao beef and the best time to visit Rishengchang to avoid crowds. That kind of thoughtful care makes the whole trip feel so warm. I’ll definitely stay here again when I come back to Pingyao. Great location, amazing atmosphere, and service that’s second to none—highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at this guest house in Pingyao! The place was cozy, clean, and full of character — exactly what you’d hope for in such a historic town. Everyone was so nice and helpful; they went out of their way to make sure we felt at home and had everything we needed. They gave great recommendations for local restaurants and things to see, and even organized transportation. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — I’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Pingyao!

Excellent location right in the middle of Pingyao ancient town surrounded by restaurants and shops etc. All the staffs are friendly and helpful. They offered drop off and pick up from the railway station at a very little cost and because cars are not allowed inside of the ancient city, someone from the hotel will wait and greet at the entrance gate. Room was clean and comfortable. Enjoy and immerse yourself in the beauty and charming ancient China.

We had a truly enjoyable experience at this hotel. The property is new, beautifully designed, and tastefully decorated — every detail reflects a refined sense of style. Despite being in a different country, we immediately felt at home thanks to the warm and thoughtful atmosphere. One of the highlights was the excellent breakfast, freshly prepared on the spot every morning — a rare treat that made a real difference. The hotel is located in the northern part of the city, which is ideal for visiting Pingyao and exploring the area comfortably. A special mention goes to the hotel manager, who welcomed us with delicious local snacks waiting in our room — a kind gesture that added a personal touch to our stay. In short, everything exceeded expectations. If you’re planning a visit to this area, this hotel is an excellent choice. Super recommended

The hotel is in a really calm village. It's a bit outside of the village with all the temples but there is a bus coming every other minute to get you there so it's very practical. The lady from the staff was very friendly and helpful. She picked us up from the bus station. The rooms are very tidy and comfortable. We also ate twice at the hotel and the food was really good. Would recommend!

    Our stay was a truly exceptional experience. You are welcomed in a serene and relaxing environment. The rooms were beautiful, clean and comfortable. Located in the heart of the historic centre. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay, with special mention to Crystal, who was particularly outstanding. Her proactive communication before and during our visit made a significant difference. She assisted us in arranging transportation, booking massages, securing tickets for attractions, and even organizing a special birthday surprise for our family. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a blend of relaxation and exceptional hospitality.

    A cultural heritage city like no other.

    A cultural heritage city like no other. You can truly appreciate China's incredible history and fabulous local cuisine. The stone carvings in the caves take you back to previous dynasties and display the rich history of China. Better to view the caves on a non-holiday weekend. We went there along with 27,000 other people.

    The city is undeniably beautiful and feels like a living museum, perfectly preserved in time. However, it’s very touristy, with shops that all seem to offer the same souvenirs, making it feel like a true tourist trap. It’s worth a quick visit, but I wouldn’t recommend spending too much time there. Additionally, I was disturbed to see many pigs and other animals kept in small quarters in some stores. If you’re sensitive to animal welfare issues, this may be hard to stomach. Overall, while the city has its charm, be mindful of its tourist-centric nature.

    It was ok. The grottoes were amazing. Take a taxi there and back. It's worth the convenience. Would I go back again? No. Am I glad I went? Yes The ancient town is not that great. But walking on the wall is an amazing experience.

    Beautiful ancient city, and you still can feel the daily normal leaving of its inhabitants. Liked the most to have 99.9999% chinese tourist at this time of the year, Mid March. Only 4 westerners encountered. Chinese History at its best. Lots of historical places to visit and learn from ancient China. Unmissable for local and foreigner travellers.

    The Yungang Grottoes and the Hanging Temple are both “must see” places that will leave a visitor wonderstruck! Do not miss! The Datong City Wall is also an amazing structure that one should definitely walk on to see the architecture, know the history of the city and to take in the city views from atop it. The walled city is beautiful at every corner, roundabout and every street. Stay in a hotel in the walled city.
