Pingjao, China - The ride to Pingjao was rough, They're not kidding when they say hard seat! Worst of all, I felt very concerned about my stuff, so didn't sleep and had my rucksack wrapped around my leg, It also didn't help when I asked a conductor what time I would arrive in Pingjao, to be told a time eight hours less than expected. However, it …

Hallo allemaal. Loran is vrijdag veilig aangekomen in Beijing, helaas gelijk al door een taxichauffeur die hem 600 yuan wilde laten betalen voor een ritje van max 100. Naar beneden weten te praten tot de helft, maar het blijft vervelend dat dit het Welcome to Beijing was.

Na het ontbijt zijn we gelijk doorgegaan naar de Verboden Stad, …

I have got the hang of writing these entries now, the mix of pictures and the stuff to write. Hopefully they are getting nice and interesting.

So I won't beat around the bush, hard seats for 12 hours are not a good idea. In fact it was horrible. Let me set the scene, i'm in Beijing, booking tickets to Pingyao, and unfortunately there were …

Hi there, We did manage to get out of Datong, although we were a bit worried we would be stuck there for a couple of days as there was no train tickets and no direct buses for saturday. However the helpful man who organised our taxi for the caves got us a ticket for Taiyuan where we headed off to the saturday for a romantic valentines day on buses …

They have free pick up from the train station which is very nice to have when you arrive at 6 am. Rooms are clean, with traditional beds and the staff is friendly. Good location and good price!

A comfortable place to stay. staff very pleasant even though I was disappointed that my booking for day tour did not materialize. Due to this problem I did not get to see Wang's Courtyard or the Castle Tunnels.

Room clean - shower good - bed comfortable - coffee good.

Great place and location

Yamen is a lovely little place. The room I stayed in was basic but it had a very good oldy-worldy feel to it that was nicer than modern furnishings. They have great communal areas, internet, pool table, football table etc. Just a shame that Pingyao itself isn't much good. If you have been to Lijiang then avoid Pingyao.

DO NOT EAT AT THE FOOD PLACE DIRECTLY OPPOSITE FROM YAMEN. I did and got food poisioning so please avoid!
