stay

① You can stay at Longji Hotel in Ping 'an terraced fields, which are unique wooden buildings with hanging feet built by local villagers themselves. The facilities are relatively simple, with hot water, and some double rooms have separate bathrooms. However, the accommodation conditions in Longji Village are very poor, so it is best not to stay there.

② Dazhai can live in Dazhai Village and Tiantouzhai. I usually live in Tiantouzhai, where there are many hotels and close to scenic spots. In addition, the highest peak in Dazhai is the hotel called Panorama Building, which has the most beautiful view. You can see the terraced fields by opening the window, but there are no other facilities except beds and lights.

go shopping

① Four Treasures of Dragon Ridge

"Four treasures of Longji" refers to Longji tea, Longji pepper, Longji water wine and Longji fragrant glutinous rice. Longji tea was a tribute in Qing dynasty; Longji water wine made of glutinous rice is sweet and delicious; Longji pepper has a strong and unique fragrance, small skin and moderate spicy taste; Longji Shuijiu custom is known as "Longsheng Maotai".

② Hand embroidery, batik and silverware

Tiantouzhai has Yao's hand embroidery, batik and silverware, which are sold in almost every family. Hand embroidery includes headscarves, mobile phone covers, backpacks, hanging frames, etc. Batik includes headgear, shawl and tablecloth. The silverware is mainly hand-decorated. The price of Tiantouzhai is cheaper than other scenic spots. If you want to buy, you can bargain, give half of the other party's offer, and then bargain with the other party. Things in Ping 'an Village are slightly more expensive, and Yao embroidery is less.

Tips of Tongcheng. com

● The time to reach Dazhai by car is almost between 12 o'clock and 2 o'clock. It is recommended to prepare food. Because the traffic in Dazhai is inconvenient, there are few fresh pork, and the meat dishes are more expensive 10-15 yuan, and the general dishes are in 5-6 yuan. The transportation in peace village is convenient and the price is moderate.

● When you choose to find scenic spots in the village on foot, you must remember to follow the stone road when there are relatively many forks in the road. If you really don't know, just ask the farmers who are working on the roadside, and they will give directions enthusiastically. You can also ask a local villager to be a tour guide.

● Ask for directions and try to find middle-aged and elderly people, so that they will not be charged. If you are looking for someone to take pictures or take pictures of others, you should first ask if there is any charge, so as not to cause disputes. In addition, watch the performance in the stockade and be sure to ask if there is any charge.

● Locals have the habit of leading tourists and backpacking, which is acceptable, but the price should be good. Generally, it's about 2 hours' journey from 10 yuan or 20 yuan.

● Self-driving cars can only drive to Ping 'an Parking Lot and Dazhai Parking Lot. Both parking lots have full-time security guards, and parking vehicles need to pay fees.

● Older people and those with poor physical strength can choose a sliding pole carried by four people, with a sliding pole ranging from about 120-180 yuan. The specific price needs to be directly negotiated with the local village name.

● If you want to stay in the mountain for one night, you can call first. First, you can ask about the number of trains. Second, you can book a room. Third, you can agree that the hotel will send someone to pick you up.

● Best viewing and shooting place: The photos taken by Ping 'an Seven Stars with the Moon are very beautiful, and Shaole in Xishan is the best place to watch the sunrise.

● When visiting the Yao terraces in Jinkeng Dazhai, you can stay in Jinkeng Tiantou Village, which is located in the center of the three scenic spots in Jinkeng Dazhai Yao terraces, so as to avoid going back and save walking time.
