| An Introduction to the Yamen Hostel |
In 1591 the city of Pingyao constructed what is now the Yamen Property in order to house the emperor, who was then planning a visit to the small town. The whole town was very excited to see the emperor, and the city built a guesthouse adjacent to the county governor's office especially for the emperor's visit. Unfortunately the emperor never came to Pingyao, but the construction of the guesthouse was completed none-the-less. Today the Yamen Property resides next to the most cherished building in the old town, the governor's office, and we treat all of our guests as if they were emperors!

A spacious lobby also functions as restaurant where you can relax on comfortable, cushioned, red sofas, two separated courtyards in vertical alignment are located at the back of the lobby with guest rooms richly decorated, two separated front yards full of plants and spring-time flowers are on both sides of the courtyard, and an extensive entertainment area that features movies, musical instruments, and a big-screen TV lies adjacent to the lobby.
