Some excerpts from the website of Yide Hotel that might be useful
Yide Hotel is situated in a
quiet little blind alley just a few minutes' walk from the main street, Nan Dajie. The guesthouse is a beautifully renovated
courtyard house built in 1736 by a wealthy merchant during the reign of Emperor Qianlong. The old residence of Hou Wangbin originally consisted of six
courtyards; No. 16 (upper yard), No. 14 (lower yard), No. 18 (study
room) and No. 20 (carriage and horse yard) in Shaxiang Street, No. 9 Xishitoupo Lane (ancestral temple) and No. 6 Xiguojia Lane (
garden). All
rooms have
air conditioning and
heating,
bathroom and large kang-style beds that are heated in winter. The old residence is not only indicative of the level of ancient architecture and the lifestyle of the original inhabitants, but also reflects a mix of ancient politics, economy, philosophy, ethics, culture, art as well as local lifestyles and customs. As you enter these ancient buildings, you can begin to absorb some of these, now distant and largely forgotten, cultural traditions of a past society. Yide Guesthouse offers freshly made samples of Pingyao
cuisine at very reasonable prices. We also provide western-style food.
