Tianzhuyuan Inn (Pingyao Ancient City Youjian Pingyao Theater Branch)

Pingyao Tianjuan Garden Inn | The Time and Space Imprint of Ming and Qing Dynasty Shanxi Merchant Mansions Tianjuan Garden, a deep courtyard residence favored by time. This 5.7-acre Ming and Qing Dynasty ancient building was once the glorious mansion of the wealthy Jig family in Pingyao. Now, as a key protected historical building, it stands quietly between the hustle and bustle of West Street and the tranquility of the ancient city. 【A Courtyard Encompassing Past and Present, Every Step Reveals Splendor】 Nestled against the cultural landmark Pingyao Film Palace to the north and adjacent to the bustling pedestrian street to the east, it is within easy reach of the Rishengchang Draft Bank and the County Government Office. To the west, the ancient city gate is in sight, and just beyond the city lies the "See Pingyao Again" theater. The high walls and black tiles shield from the outside world. Stepping inside, it feels like falling into a dream where past and present interweave. 【Twenty-Six Rooms, Twenty-Six Kinds of Elegance】 The guest rooms are scattered among the three-story embroidered-lattice pavilions, Tianhe Courtyard, Qifeng Courtyard, and Fulu Courtyard. Each room is furnished with Ming and Qing Dynasty antiques, while modern amenities flow through the carved window frames. The Red Thread Pavilion's hidden connections, the tea and ink aroma of the multi-functional hall in the central courtyard, and the aroma of Shanxi cuisine in the restaurant all narrate the "wealthy and refined" lifestyle of the Shanxi merchants. 【Architecture as Epic, Details as Wonders】 The layered eaves are like a frozen epic of the Shanxi merchants. The carved brackets and screens in the brick and stone work reveal the artisans' devotion. Despite centuries of wind and rain, the weathered beams and pillars still exude the former opulence - every brick and tile here tells of the merchants' ambition and composure to "dominate the world's trade". 【Leisurely Stroll Through the Four Seasons, Every Angle a Picture】 In the morning, climb the observation deck to watch the smoke rise from the ancient city's black tiles. At dusk, lean on the railing and watch the setting sun gild the eaves. In the courtyard, the shadows of flowers dance on the walls, and koi fish play in the water. A pot of tea and a game of chess are all that the former owner enjoyed in his "slow world". ——Staying at Tianjuan Garden, you are not just staying at an inn, but half of Pingyao's history.
