About This Location
Pingyao Ancient City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, is China's best-preserved 14th-century Han Chinese walled town. Founded during the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046–771 BCE) and expanded in 1370, it showcases Ming-Qing urban planning with 6.4 km of intact walls, 4,000 traditional dwellings, and the birthplace of China's first draft bank (_Rishengchang_). Known as the "Wall Street of Imperial China," its turtle-shaped layout reflects Confucian cosmology.
