It is a beautiful cosy place, it is exactly what I was looking for. They really pay attention to small details and the service is amazing. All the staff was always there for us.
Boasting well preserved architectural structure and attention-to-detail service, Jing's Residence is a hidden gem in the ancient walled town of Pingyao, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This hotel is inside the ancient city, it is convenient to explore the city.
Fast check in and out
Pleasant staff
Hotel is not crowded. I only saw one guest throughout my one day stay
The next day, I got up early and I was able to walk the entire city (no crowds)
I felt very safe
The hotel does not have a restaurant, however one is not needed; there are numerous restaurants in the city. I ordered from Meituan.
Breakfast the next day was simple but more than enough for me: toast, jelly, fried egg and bacon. There are also numerous options for breakfast in the city.
I enjoyed my stay very much, will definitely stay again.
Tours that you can take: Wang’s Courtyard is 30 minutes by car and Zhangby’s Fortress is about 30 minutes from Wang’s Courtyard.
Traveling tips: To get to Pingyao by train:
Beijing to Pingyao: only a few times per day (This is the best option if you are coming from Beijing)
Otherwise:
Beijing to Pingyao or Shanghai to Pingyao Air China
Taiyuan to Pingyao: Rake the fast train that is ~ 30-40 minutes. Business class is 56 rmb
Coming back to Beijing (If you miss direct train to Beijing)
-Pingyao rail station to Taiyuan South. ( Do not get off on Taiyuan station, you must to go Taiyuan South) I got off the wrong station and had to take a taxi to Taiyuan South which is about 15 minutes with light traffic
Taiyuan South to Beijing: 3 hours by fast train.
I hope my reviews help you explore the city better

I liked the location and I enjoyed staying in a room that had lots of history. It was easy to walk around the city, with many shops and interesting historical sites to see.

Beautiful ancient city, and you still can feel the daily normal leaving of its inhabitants. Liked the most to have 99.9999% chinese tourist at this time of the year, Mid March. Only 4 westerners encountered. Chinese History at its best. Lots of historical places to visit and learn from ancient China. Unmissable for local and foreigner travellers.

Incredibly beautiful town, totally made up of traditional Chinese architecture (at least on the main streets). You can buy a ticket that allows entry into many of the sites, including the Draft Bank, Temple of the City God, Confucius Temple and so many more, and then spend a day wandering around exploring them as you come across them. (Note that some of the smaller ones have almost no English signs, so it can be difficult to know what they are!). We bought the ticket from a window nearby (1 minute east) of the draft bank, but there may be other places. It's also interesting to go up the City Walls and see the town from above.

Fantastic historic walled town where you can easily escape the tourist area. Very very unique however Pollution was a big problem during our stay as it is in the midde of a huge area full of factories. We spent the 2 days with our masks on.

We visited in November so starting to get chilly at night.
We visited in November so starting to get chilly at night. The numerous museums are interesting and give a good idea of times past. Great food in town but one or two restaurant and shop owners give more hustle than we'd like. Not too many tourists at the time we visited and we pretty much had the whole wall to ourselves. The old town is a comfortable size to walk around over 2 days. The 3 day "tourist pass" is well worth the price we paid.

Don't forget to visit MianShan which is 1 hour by car - you can easily spend 2 days there!
For dinner: a little bit away from the busy street you will find cheaper option. Or just try some small bites here and there.

We were there for 2 nights, 2 days.
We were there for 2 nights, 2 days. We arrived Friday at about 6pm and enjoyed walking around the old city, had a "fish in tank nibbling off dead skin off our feet" experience! Saturday we took a taxi to Wang's Family Compound, 50 km away. This is well worth doing - we took 3 hours to viist the compound which reminded us of a cross betwen the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.... On the way back we stopped at Shuanglin Temple - we only had 30 minutes there before it closed but it was more than enough - and I'd say this is very missable. Saturday evening we went to the excellent 20 minute 8pm laser show where they project historic scenes of Ping Yao onto the outside southern City Wall and the Yingxun Gate. Worth watching. Sunday we walked round some of the main historic sights including the Ancient Government Building, Ri Sheng Chang & the Residence of Ma's Family - all recommended.
The hotel is excellent. They came and pick us up and dropped us off at the train station. They communicated with us and arranged the transportation to arrive at the facility. The hotel has an excellent location, right in the Pingyao main street. There are lots of restaurant and dining options available. The room was really comfortable and clean. The hotel lobby (patio) was astonishing and very welcoming to the visitor. The breakfast was excellent. The hotel staff was really friendly and kind. We will stay again at this hotel!
The best value for money you can ever find on this website!!!
Loved the location on South Avenue in Pingyao Ancient City. The front is a restaurant with rooms in the back after going through a traditional courtyard. The rooms are renovated and up to date. The bed was comfortable!!!
Most importantly, the hostess was extremely kind and helpful. She explained everything (in English) and provided a plan to best explore town.
Really don’t think twice before booking this gem of a place!
Beautifully presented hotel in the heart of the old city. Step outside and you've stepped into historic china.
The staff were kind and courteous and did their best to make sure our stay was comfortable. The room was beautifully presented and had the heat and lights on when we arrived. Breakfast was good. The pickup and drop off at the train station was a lovely addition which made our stay smooth and comfortable. Very happy with the experience.
Lovely family run guesthouse in a great quiet location, yet close to everything. The beds are great and the rooms cosy - and the old courtyard is just amazing. So is the service and hospitality. Not speaking much Chinese my friends and I were very happy with all the help we got from the kind owner and his family. Thank you for a great stay in beautiful Pingyao❤️
We were glad to have chosen this Hotel for our stay in Pingyao. Everything was nice, the rooms are very special, designed into the old Temple. Breakfast even for western people very good. In general, the Restaurant is very good and perhaps the best in Pingyao. Quality of the food is excellent.
Excellent and super attentive customer service, beautiful decoration and interior design, location is perfect to explore the area, delicious and healthy breakfast. We highly recommend Jing’s Residence for your stay in Pingyao.
The location was great and there was a good atmosphere. The room itself was quite warm and cozy. Breakfast was pretty tasty local cuisine. Very communicative - easy to coordinate a train station pick up and drop off vi a hotel
The hotel is located in the historical center, minutes away from the main road but without the noise. It's an old courtyard, amazingly restored. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We loved the place and our rooms!
location in Pingyao old city was best.
The location is far from the high-speed train station, but the hotel provides a pick-up service. So, you don't need to worry about the distance between the hotel and the station
Great location, authentic 200yr old courtyard house renovated to very high boutique hotel standards. Most importantly what makes it special is genuine hospitality received from staff at all levels. Top level service.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Pingyao and stay at the Pingyao Ji Family Courtyard Inn. The staff were wonderful. Staying at this hotel is like a magical walk back in time.
The hotel is quite, good for relaxation. The boss is a nice person, he will tell you where can go where to eat. He is Really a honest person. Highly recommend.
Very nice courtyard hotel. It sets you back in time. Very well decorated. Staff is friendly and provides pick up from the main entrance of the ancient city.
