The Ancient City of Pingyao is UNESCO World Heritage site for being “an exceptionally well-preserved example of a traditional Han Chinese city, founded in the 14th century. Its urban fabric shows the evolution of architectural styles and town planning in Imperial China over five centuries.”
The impressive city walls (total length 6 km/3.7 mi) were constructed in the 14th century. Most buildings in the Old City are from the Ming and Qing dynasties. During the late Qing Dynasty, Pingyao was the financial centre of China.
