Dragon Gate Guesthouse

What an extraordinary hotel. It was converted into a hotel from a 400 year old workshop. The hotel is a combination of old world charm and modern facilities. Really impressive with the service provided by the owners. You just need to arrange with them to pick you up and sending off to the train station for free. Will definitely stay in this beautiful place when visiting Pingyao Ancient City.

This place was amazing! Easy check in, and the hosts were incredible. The guesthouse is very cute, and the rooms are immaculate. I would highly recommend staying here! The location, inside of the old town, was very convenient.

We had initially booked a smaller room but was upgraded free of charge to a beautiful traditional style room. The room had everything including heated floors which was great as it was very cold in Pingyao during our stay. The hotel staff was very helpful with everything and even drove us to the train station the day we left. I absolutely reccommend this beautiful hotel and would love to come back here some day!

Great place in Pingyao. It is reasonably priced, a bit out of the very center (meaning also out of tourists crowds that can be quite noisy in the evenings and mornings), but still close, has same old-style design as the more popular and well-established places that cater to foreigners, but priced twice as much. Pick-up and drop off service is provided - just contact the hotel in advance via phone using the reception of tour previous hotel - no one speaks English - it will solve your communication issue if you do not speak Chinese. At the place itself everyone is very eager to help - use your phone app to translate. Onwer helped me to buy tickets to Pingyao attractions and Terracota Army as I was heading to Xian next (available only through WeChat Pay that is in turn is not availablefor foreign tourists as of April 2023). If you go to Shuanglin temple, be sure to ask to buy tickets through WeChat for you as well. I was able to buy physical one by pure compassion of local guard who asked the staff to open ticket office just for me (Probably was the only foreigner in Pingyao at a time). Please also note that as of April 2023, the reconstruction works in the historical city parts are continuing, so, large chunks of the city within the walls are not looking as great as it could have been. The very center of the city is mostly untouched though and you can still come and explore. If going in spring, be prepared for the temperature swings. I got a temperature drop from 28C to 3C within 2 days by the moment I got to Pingyao. It was even snowing at night.

我來平遙旅遊，想住在離景點近一點的地方。這家客棧的位置簡直太完美了。它離各個景點都很近，步行就能到達。而且周圍還有很多好吃的小店和特色商店。就像一顆明珠鑲嵌在這個寶藏地點一樣。我每天出門遊玩都特別方便，不用浪費時間在交通上。而且周圍的環境也很熱鬧，晚上回來的時候還可以在附近逛逛，感受當地的風情。強烈推薦龍門客棧

我一個人旅行，本來還擔心會孤單。但是在這家客棧完全沒有這種感覺。住客們之間都很友好，大家會一起在客廳聊天、看電視。客棧的工作人員也會加入我們，就像一家人一樣。晚上有時候還會有一些小活動，比如唱歌、玩遊戲之類的。我在這裏結交了很多新朋友，感覺自己不再是一個人。這種温馨的氛圍就像一個大家庭，讓我在旅途中也能感受到家的温暖。
