Live in Shanxi Pingyao farmhouse, a small courtyard worth more than 3 million, the residents live too comfortable

Pingyao County in Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, has become a popular tourist destination because of the Pingyao Ancient City, one of the four major ancient cities in China. In Pingyao ancient city, there are still a lot of old local houses, and there are residents living in every house. On this trip, we stayed in a very ordinary local farmhouse with authentic Shaanxi customs.

The courtyard is located in the ancient city of Pingyao, and when you arrive at night, you will be attracted by the traditional Shanxi farmhouse architecture. The small compound is a courtyard with a patio in the center, which also serves as an active courtyard. Originally, one side of the courtyard was used as a living room and the other as a kitchen and utility room, but now the courtyard has become a bed and breakfast, with the exception of the south-facing side, which is reserved for the owner's family, and the rest of the rooms are used as a bed and breakfast for tourists from all over the world.

Most of the houses in Shanxi sleep on a dirt floor, which is also a feature of Pingyao houses. The rooms in the small courtyard are all kang rooms, and when you enter the door, you see a big kang close to the wall with a small table on it, and the legend that people in the north can eat and drink on the bed is surprisingly true. The room has been renovated, the interior is equipped with an independent bathroom, compared to the former life is more convenient.

Staying at such a local home is a great way to experience the local flavor of Pingyao. The next morning, the host family also prepared a hearty breakfast. The host family also prepared a hearty breakfast the next morning, which consisted of homemade rolls, steamed buns, pumpkin and millet rice, and a few small dishes. Dining in the small courtyard full of fruits and gourds is also a very relaxing experience.

The host family's life is very cozy, will be the courtyard well organized, the courtyard is a huge jujube tree in the middle of the early fall, jujube "pop" fell to the ground, to come to the tourists have to pick up a taste. In the courtyard of the petunia, moonflower are in full bloom, hanging overhead vines climbing gourds, especially interesting.

It's this small compound that would be worth at least 3 million dollars if it were sold in the ancient city of Pingyao. The host family living here is also very cozy, waking up every day in the fragrance of birds and flowers, eating their own fruits and vegetables, but also the poetry and faraway life that everyone aspires to.

At noon, the host family invited me to have lunch with them, and the locals mainly use noodles. The local people are mainly used to eating noodles. The noodles are topped with vegetables and other toppings, not to be missed is the locally produced Shanxi aged vinegar, which is also served with homemade chili.

There are many such traditional houses in Pingyao Ancient City, and although the accommodations are not as good as the whitewashed hotels and inns, they are the best way to experience the traditional local customs. It is the best way to experience the local customs and traditions.
