Pingyao County

Travel Guide

The modernization of China has unfortunately seen many of its historical cities and landmarks destroyed. One that has been restored and untouched is the ancient walled city of Pingyao. This was one of the few times the crowds of this beautiful city weren't overwhelming and i could take in the beauty and awe of this awesome sight #china #pingyao #travel

Where time stood still.
Old Town of Pingyao, China.
Maybe one of the few surviving examples of how a China city looked like centuries ago.

We were very well accommodated at Elsewhere Boutique Hotel. They provided us a map and mapped out a route for us to follow to get the most out of the ancient city. They heated the room well while we were out so we came back to a nice warm room. The room was tidy and clean.

Great hotel! The building complex itself is one of the most beautiful in Pingyao. Tucked away on a quiet corner near the main street. Really convenient car transfer from the train station. Good restaurant.
