One Day Pingyao Ancient Town Trip from Xian by bullet train

  • 1 Day, 0 Night

The bullet trains between Xian and Pingyao are convenient, so we make this one day trip if you have 3 full days and above in Xian, you can consider taking one day by bullet train from Xian to Pingyao Ancient Town and back on the same day. It would be much more interesting than keep spending more time in Xian.

From Xian North to Jiexiu:  D2502 (07:41am/10:30am)

From Pingyao Ancient Town to Xian North:  D2571 (18:34pm/21:35pm)

Remark: Jiexiu is a county name, the first attraction Wang Family Compound we included in the itinerary locate at Jiuxiu County, that's why we plan arriving Jiexiu firstly but not Pingyao.

You would have 8 hours activity time in Pingyao Ancient Town and we can arrange a nice Pingyao trip for you:

If you have 3 and above full days time in Xian, go to Pingyao Ancient Town for one day is a good option. As Xian has the largest amount of underground cultural relics but Shanxi Province has the largest amount of surface cultural relics. Most of the underground cultural relics are inside the museum, but cultural relics on the surface are more specific, vivid in image, you can combine them well together for the visiting and gain different experience.
