Pingyao County trip planner

An ancient walled city, Pingyao County can trace its history back around 2,700 years, and has been designated a World Heritage Site. The walls, built in 1370, still stand in good condition and act as the boundaries of the county, which still conforms to the traditional Ba gua principles of Taoist cosmology in the way it has been arranged. Visits to Pingyao County, once an important financial center, offer a glimpse back into the times of the Qing dynasty, with a wealth of distinctive architectural highlights along well-maintained old streets.
