(1) Let's talk about food first. There are many delicious foods in Pingyao ancient city, from the rich traditional banquet "eight bowls and eight dishes" to the unique flavor of local snacks, which is worth savoring. Like some dietary customs in Shanxi, Pingyao snacks are mainly pasta, with a wide variety and fine production. In addition to the well-known types of pasta, such as Lamian Noodles, Picking and Noodles, even many authentic Shanxi people can't name how to eat noodles, noodles, rice noodles, rice noodles, oil-sprinkled noodles and so on. In addition, there are more than 65,438+000 kinds of special snacks in Pingyao, such as bald bowls, dull, oily meat, fried buns and so on.

The most famous products of Pingyao are beef and long yam, which are called "the new three treasures of Pingyao" together with lacquerware. Pingyao beef made by traditional technology is delicious and nutritious. It was famous as early as the Ming Dynasty. It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi passed Pingyao that year, and after enjoying it, it was designated as a tribute to the palace. Now it is famous for its "Guanyun" brand beef, which can be bought in most shops in the ancient city. Long yam in Pingyao is called "China Little Ginseng", which is a nourishing food for invigorating spleen, nourishing stomach and benefiting qi. In addition, yellow rice wine is also a famous product in Pingyao, among which "Changshengyuan" is the most famous. Yellow glutinous rice produced in Pingyao is brewed by ancient methods, with rich and mellow fragrance and mild wine taste, which can relax blood and nourish stomach. In this ancient city, not only food and wine are eaten, but also its cultural charm.

Pingyao holds a photography festival every year. Even in peacetime, there are not a few people carrying long guns and cannons. Pose anywhere and you will enter the scene.

Unfortunately, many people come to Pingyao and just stay in the ancient city. In fact, several temples in the countryside outside the ancient city are very distinctive and rare treasures in the sea, especially Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple, which are unique artistic treasures, both in ancient buildings and temple sculptures. These two temples are listed on the World Heritage List together with the ancient city.
