Pingyao County Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

The modernization of China has unfortunately seen many of its historical cities and landmarks destroyed. One that has been restored and untouched is the ancient walled city of Pingyao. This was one of the few times the crowds of this beautiful city weren't overwhelming and i could take in the beauty and awe of this awesome sight #china #pingyao #travel

Where time stood still.
Old Town of Pingyao, China.
Maybe one of the few surviving examples of how a China city looked like centuries ago.

Great hotel! The building complex itself is one of the most beautiful in Pingyao. Tucked away on a quiet corner near the main street. Really convenient car transfer from the train station. Good restaurant.
