The past prosperity of Shanxi lies in Pingyao, while the soul of Pingyao lies in its Old City. Founded during the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 – 771 BC) and rebuilt in 1370, the Ancient City of Pingyao is nowadays one of China’s four best preserved old cities together with Lijiang Old Town, Huizhou Ancient City and Langzhong Ancient City. It has no charming landscape, green mountain or clear waters. What is unique there, is the well-preserved ancient city with a grand City Wall, traditional residences, former security guard companies, time-honored shops, and even the previous government office. In 1997, it was inscribed as a world cultural heritage.

Pingyao holds the remnants of Shanxi’s flourishing past at its heart, primarily within its Old City. Established during the era of the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 – 771 BC), and undergoing reconstruction in 1370, today, Pingyao Ancient City ranks alongside the likes of Lijiang Old Town, Huizhou Ancient City and Langzhong Ancient City as one of China’s top four impeccably preserved classical cities. Its charm doesn’t lie in scenic vistas, verdant mountains or crystal-clear waters. Instead, it stands out for its remarkably preserved ancient city showcasing a magnificent City Wall, traditional dwellings, historic security guard establishments, age-old shops, and earlier government buildings. In 1997, it earned recognition as a world cultural heritage site.
