We stayed at Jing's Residence for 4 nights in April/May 2012 with our 2 kids (4 nights is probably too long: 2 or 3 days is enough to see Pingyao, although there was enough to keep us busy for 4 days). Pingyao is a very interesting place to visit but as we were there over Chinese holidays it was exceptionally... More

Jing's Residence is a charming boutique hotel. Preserving the original architecture styles of old , adding new modern days facilities to it, making it a very comfortable place to stay, in Pingyao. The staff were friendly and helpful, most of them speak some English. From pick-ups at train station/airport to tour arrangements in town, and even spa(!!), just asked and... More

I had wanted to visit Pingyao ever since we moved to Beijing and at last we made it. It was the week of Qingming - aka Tomb-sweeping festival, so Pingyao was full of tourists - 99.9% of them were Chinese. Despite the hustle and bustle in the streets, Jing's Residence was a haven of calm tranquility. Other reviews here describe... More

An electric cart picked us up at the Pingyao train station and drove along the city wall then through the alleys to get to Jing’s Residence, where manager Achmad and Carol Meng met us with delicious ginger tea. The owner of Jing’s residence clearly put a lot of love, artistic sense and effort into the renovation of this courtyard hotel,... More

Jing's Residence is a wonderful boutique-hotel where Achmad and his staff takes care of you as if you were part of their family. The decoration is just the perfect match between old and modern style. From the rooms to the court, the hole environment has been thought and realised with taste. On the top of that food is delicious, certainly... More

Reception at the Taiyuan train station was impeccable and stylish with tea served in the car before heading off to the hotel, some 1.5 hours away. The hotel is near the center of he ancient town and is surrounded by many local restaurants. The furnishings combine the old and the new with great taste. Very modern and stylish materials cohabit...

Arriving on a cold and misty morning at 7 a.m. after a strenuous night train ride a different world opens up behind the thick wooden doors. Yes, the whole property is amazing, the mixture between history and modern design is just perfect and very tasteful. But may be even more impressive is the ever present yet unobtrusive hospitality. At the... More

This is a remodeled small hotel in an ancient compound. The rooms are modern and lovely, although not large. Service and common rooms are exemplary. The hotel restaurant has some of the best food in town. This is a tranquil place to relax and enjoy the best Pingyao has to offer after a day of sightseeing in this magnificaint walled... More

One of the most exceptional travel experiences I've ever had. The hotel is incredibly beautiful, old courtyard style on the outside but sensitively modernized on the inside. The staff and food are outstanding. Leo was an amazing guide, and if you are really nice to Theo, he may treat you to a special Indonesian meal one evening (off the menu).... More

It was amazing to stay in a courtyard setting, Shanxi Province style. The Jing's Residence is two narrow courtyards side by side, with 2-story buildings at the end, unlike the more square-shaped, one-story courtyards in the Beijing hutongs. The hotel is located right inside the old high walls surrounding the small town of car-free Pingyao. This hotel is absolutely beautiful,... More
