Pingyao not to be missed double Temple

The last day in Shanxi, I chose to go to Pingyao, not to see the ancient city, but for the two ancient temples and the town of Shuanglin, or to continue that a bit of a metaphor for it, if the ancient city of Pingyao is a crown, Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple are the crown jewels, but most people are in the ancient city of Pingyao Happy, never seen the style of double temple. Of course, this is also related to transportation, the two temples are outside the ancient city, but in the opposite direction, so it is not easy to stroll around!
