I have seen countless ancient cities, but Pingyao is different. Even the loess plateau full of loess can't hide its peerless elegance. Just like a person's love, most people think first love is the most beautiful, because it is the purest at that time. Pingyao is like this. It is the most complete ancient county in China. Here, the city walls, dwellings, government offices, temples, Taoist temples, banks, and ticket curiums have all gone through hundreds of years to today, and even more so. What is rare is that they still maintain the original style as before, and they are the most authentic Ming and Qing market pictures.
