Pingyao, Shanxi, China: a well-preserved ancient city of the Ming and Qing dynasties
Located in the central part of Shanxi Province, Pingyao, Shanxi, is the best-preserved ancient county town of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China and one of the World Heritage Sites. The ancient city was first built in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and after many repairs, it still retains the street pattern and buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as city walls, temples and market buildings. The city's four main streets, eight side streets and 72 winding alleys form a tortoise-shaped bagua layout, symbolizing longevity and good fortune. Pingyao is one of the birthplaces of China's Jin merchant culture, and the Rishengchang Ticket Company, known as "the originator of modern banking in China," has witnessed the rise of the modern financial industry. There are 3,797 traditional residences preserved here, of which 22 are state-protected units, condensing the life scenes and business wisdom of Jin merchant families. The annual Pingyao International Photography Exhibition has given the ancient city a new color and become an important window to showcase China's traditional culture.
