Pingyao ancient city is located in the middle of Jinzhong area. It was built in Zhou Xuanwang period (827-782 years before the park), and the existing ancient city wall was expanded in the third year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1376).

Pingyao was called ancient pottery in ancient times, but it was renamed Pingyao in the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 424) in order to avoid being too martial.

the whole city of Pingyao ancient city is like a turtle, which means longevity and good luck, and golden soup will last forever. The south gate is a turtle's head, and the north gate is a turtle's tail. The four gates on the east and west sides are like four legs, and there is a well on the outside of the south gate, which is like a turtle's eye. The streets in the city cross like a turtle's back.

The city wall has 3, battlements, 71 enemy towers and 1 Kuixing tower, symbolizing 72 sages of 3, disciples of Confucius. The circumference of the city wall is 6166. It is 8 meters high, more than 12 meters high, 8-12 meters wide at the bottom and 3-6 meters wide at the top. Outside the city wall, there are six gates, one on the north and south sides and two on the east and west sides.

There are six main streets, eight small streets and 72 alleys in Pingyao ancient city, which are intertwined vertically and horizontally. Their functions are clear and their layout is orderly.

enter from the south gate and go straight north. There is a south street, also called Ming and Qing Street, which is the busiest street in Pingyao ancient city. On both sides of the street are Xietongqing ticket number, North China No.1 Escort Agency, China Escort Agency, Tongxing Escort Agency and Baichuan Pass number. There is also a arcade-style city building on South Street.

from the upper east gate to the south gate, there is a town god street, with a town god temple in the north and a Confucian temple in the south. There is Chenghuangmiao Street across South Street, which is Yamen Street, and the ancient yamen office of Pingyao County is in the north of Yamen Street. Starting from the lower east gate, go due west and cross South Street, which is called East Street. There is Qingxu Guan in the north of East Street near Xiadongmen, and next to it is Northeast Escort Agency. Cross South Street until the next west gate, which is West Street. There are Rishengchang Bank, Weishengchang Bank and Weitaihou Bank next to West Street. There is a north street to the north of Rishengchang Bank.

Pingyao's ancient residences are mostly combined quadrangles with four rivers leading to the hall. The courtyard structure has two entrances, three entrances and four entrances. Each entrance is separated by beautiful hanging doors, and some are built with side yards and gardens next to the main courtyard. These buildings are decorated with brick carvings, wood carvings, stone carvings, ethnic paintings and paper-cut window grilles, which are very beautiful.

The flavor snacks in Pingyao ancient city are very distinctive. They are mainly pasta. It is said that there are more than 3 kinds, such as Wantuo and Zhajiang Noodles, and beef is also famous.

in the Qing dynasty, Pingyao was the birthplace of draft banks, with a prosperous economy and developed trade. When bulk goods are traded in different places, businessmen need to be safe and need the escort of martial arts artists, so escort agencies are produced. Therefore, Wushu is widely spread in Pingyao, with about 2 kinds of boxing, the most influential of which is Changquan, as well as Tongbi Boxing, Tai Ji Chuan, Bagua Boxing, Baji Boxing and Bawang Boxing.

We visited the ancient city wall of Pingyao, saw Rishengchang draft bank, Pingyao ancient government office, and ate many snacks, including beef and Daoxiao Noodles. I learned that the ancient draft bank is now a bank, and I also heard many martial arts legends in Pingyao. I have gained a lot of knowledge, and I am really happy.
