Pingyao Travel Forum

Hi,
I'm currently in Beijing feeling bored and have a plan visiting Pingyao during this mid autumn festival, I have several questions, hope some of you can help me
1.How crowded is PIngyao during October holiday period ?is it a bad idea to visit during this time ?
2.If I decide to visit Pingyao, does 1 one day is enough to explore most of the interesting landmarks in this city so I don't have to find hotel (arrive early in morning and leave at night) ?
3.What is the must-see and must-visit place in Pingyao, how can I reach them for instance from train station?
4.How about transportation in Pingyao ? does using public bus is esay : cleary sign, crowded etc, how much the taxi charge ?

Thanks in advance
Sorry for asking so much questions

Cheers

hi there.

1.I am not sure how crowded.
2.it is not so bad an idea to visit during this time,i think.
3.from taiyuan train station, it will spend you about one and a half hour to pingyao by public bus. but the public bus arrives at county instead of pingyao. It will take you about another half an hour to pingyao.you can calculate you time.
3.must see: ri sheng chang, the old street of Ming dynasty and Qing dynasty,the old city wall etc.
4.within pingyao,it is ok just to walk,for it is not so big,it is small.
taxi charge: just talk with the driver. he will charge 200-300 yuan,but 100 yuan or so is ok(at least more than one hour on the road)

Thank you for the answer, so do you think I can just walk to explore the city form Pingyao train station because my plan is to take train from Beijing directly to Pingyao.
Another thing is : is it hard to get the return ticket to Beijing as I won't stay overnight in Pingyao ?

Thanks in advance
