Pingyao, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the popular travel destinations of Shanxi Province. The major attraction is itself, the Pingyao Ancient City, a well-preserved Ming Dynasty city. Normally it takes a whole day to visit the ancient city, the City Wall, County Office, First Bank of China, Confucius Temple, Qingxu Taoist Temple, and the two temples outside of the city, Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple.
Together with Beijing, Xi’an, Nanjing, and Shanghai, Pingyao is one of the most recommendable destinations for travelers to experience the Chinese Lunar New Year.
For luxury travelers, there are no international brand hotels, the local boutique hotels Jing’s Residence and Yunjincheng Mansion are the most recommendable.
