Any trip to Pingyao should include a visit to the Ri Shengchang
Financial House Museum and a stay at the Tian Yuan Kui Guesthouse. The
Tian Yuan Kui Guesthouse, which is in the heart of the old city, was
built in 1791. During the Jin & Shang Dynasties it was a prominent area
enjoying an economic boom, and it is popular again today. It consists
of forecourt, backyard, information house, attics, and shops. It was
renovated to restore the style and features of Ming & Qing Dynasty
periods. It sets an example of folk-customs, simplicity, and unique and
beautiful features.
On entering the Tian Yuan Kui Guesthouse, you will be swept back in
time. The classic architecture, courtyards, stone lion carvings, Ming &
Qing style furniture, red lanterns and fragrant tea by candlelight, all
add to the memorable experience. At the same time, modern facilities,
such as colour TV, air conditioning, and clean, tidy washrooms with
western-style toilets are provided.
