Pingyao

Pingyao is a well-preserved Ming/Qing Dynasty town, a UNESCO World Heritage Sight. It was the financial centre of China in the Qing Dynasty and houses China's first bank. It is surrounded by city walls that surround thousands of preserved stone houses. It was the first stop on our tour with Jean, the mid-October weather was chilly and hazy but the off season room prices good (although we had to share a bed).
