The historical wealth of Shanxi is found in Pingyao, and the essence of Pingyao is captured in its Old City. Established during the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 – 771 BC) and reconstructed in 1370, the Ancient City of Pingyao is now one of China’s four best-preserved old cities, alongside Lijiang Old Town, Huizhou Ancient City, and Langzhong Ancient City. It lacks picturesque landscapes, green mountains, or clear waters. What makes it special is the well-preserved ancient city with a magnificent City Wall, traditional residences, former security guard companies, long-established shops, and even the old government office. In 1997, it was designated as a world cultural heritage site.

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.
