Plan your Pingyao tour<\/strong><\/a> from Beijing? With the completion of Taiyuan Xian High Speed Railway ( Part of Datong Xian High Speed Railway<\/strong><\/a> ) you are able to get to Pingyao Ancient City by high speed train directly from Beijing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now if you are going to visit Pingyao from Beijing by trains, basically you have three choices \u2013 By bullet trains, by normal overnight trains and transiting at Taiyuan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.  Beijing \u2013 Pingyao by bullet trains<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the time of my writing, there are two daily bullet trains available going between Beijing and Pingyao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Beijing Pingyao Overnight Train Timetable<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some traveler still prefer to take an overnight train from Beijing to Pingyao and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.  Transit at Taiyuan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take the 3 hours high speed trains  from Beijing to Taiyuan where you connect for buses or hiring a private car to van for 1 hour driving from Taiyuan to Pingyao.  Pingyao is located about 80km southeast of Taiyuan\u2019s city center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
