Pingyao Ancient City Wall Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
A world relic with six gate towers, Pingyao Ancient City Wall is a stately and elegant architectural wonder. Famous for its skillfully crafted defense facilities, made of bricks, compacted earth and stones, the ancient wall was a vitally important part of the security for the cities of Fucheng and Pingyao. A popular destination for vacationing visitors, the beautifully preserved city wall area is now a national treasure, offering evidence of the sophisticated construction techniques of long ago. This is where you can experience the atmosphere of an ancient time with remnants of military structures, from turrets and lookout hideaways to iron cannon and equipment used as protective systems. Also known as Turtle City, symbolizing eternity, Pingyao city houses the thick wall, which looks like the image of a tortoise from an aerial view, with the South Gate resembling the tortoise's head. Taking a stroll on top of parts of the ancient wall, starting at the North Gate, takes you on a peaceful walk with nice views and a perspective of China back in time.

There is a long history and a very complete city wall system protected. The ancient city is very large and tired. You can take a battery car. The accommodation is in the ancient city. It is much more convenient. You can see Pingyao at night.
Pingyao Ancient City was once one of the birthplaces of Jin merchants in the five hundred years of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Two of the key historical sites, Majia Courtyard and Rishengchang ticket number. Jin merchants, one of the three major merchants of Chao Shang, Hui Shang, and Jin Shang, have been strengthened by the salt and the first ticket number. The ticket numbers located in various places let Jin merchants not have to bring gold and silver soft, only with a paper credit bill to easily trade and occupy the first opportunity. Rishengchang is known as China's first ticket number. The owner of the Majia Courtyard, Ma Zhong, chose the first ticket number and then accumulated wealth in the Chinese medicine, and also brought the ancient city of Pingyao.
1. During the National Day holiday, there are a lot of people to visit the ancient city of Pingyao, but fortunately the order is not bad. 2. Several popular attractions in the ancient city, such as Rishengchang ticket number and the bureau, county, etc., are all crowded and need to queue for half a day to enter. 3. The more pleasant surprise is that the city wall can go up, and it is good to walk around and see the scenery. 4. Parking in Pingyao Ancient City is a problem. The original planned parking lot is full. It is understandable that the National Day is full, but there is no temporary parking lot. Everyone has no place to put it. It is distributed by the road or on the sidewalk. As a result, the restaurant next to the parking lot called and said that it would not be moved immediately. Car. 5. There are many travel photography and renting clothes in the ancient city, and they are also uneven, and makeup and clothes are very casual.
A recommended place, a tourist punch card place integrating leisure, entertainment and food. You can also feel the precipitation of history and culture.
