Come on one of our Pingyao tours and go back in time.&nbsp;Pingyao city is a destination where you can marvel at the business and administrative ingenuity that evolved from this ancient city &#8211; in trade, banking, government, and defense\u2013 that still hold value today. On a Pingyao tour, it\u2019s entirely possible to imagine the lifestyle of prosperous leading families who drove business, when visiting their home compound that has formed the backdrop for the memorable Chinese film, <em>Raise the Red Lantern<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among its great appeal, Pingyao boasts one of the most complete examples of an ancient Chinese town. Within its still intact Ming and Qing dynasty City Walls, you will find a veritable treasure trove of culture, society, economy, and religion from an era long gone. It is possible to spend two or three full days exploring with a local bilingual guide on a Pingyao tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our private, small group and custom Pingyao tours encompass all the must-see attractions,&nbsp;while also allowing ample time for relaxed ambling through the narrow historical streets to create your own unique travel memories in this curious destination, such as Pingyao Ancient Town, Qiao, the Wang Family mansion, and the primitive Zhangbi Castle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-brain1981-gutenberg-box-accordion\"><div class='itinerary-item'><div class='itinerary-item-q'><p>Highlights of our Pingyao tours<\/p><\/div><div class='itinerary-item-a'><div class='itinerary-item-a-inner'><p>Our Pingyao tours include memorable highlights.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rishengchang Former Bank<\/strong> \u2013 Wonder at the march of financial progress emanating from the Rishengchang Former Bank, a forerunner of modern banking, believed to be founded in Pingyao in 1823 during the Qing Dynasty. \u201cSunrise prosperity\u201d (translation of Rishengchang) certainly lived up to its name, at its peak spreading throughout major cities in China and some foreign countries until the Xinhai Revolution of 1914. Gain a firsthand view of the inspiration behind today\u2019s banking in China preserved in its original style.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ancient City Wall<\/strong> \u2013 A favorite Pingyao tours attraction. As the financial center of the region from the 16th century, Pingyao needed the wall for protection. Since becoming a World Heritage Site in 1997, restoration has continued on the 12 meters high, 4 meters wide wall, with a 6,163 meters perimeter, surrounded by a deep moat. The 72 watchtowers and more than 3,000 battlements are said to represent the number of Confucius\u2019 disciples and other students.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ming and Qing Street<\/strong> \u2013 Envisage trade of old in the bustling business center of Pingyao\u2019s narrow, orderly Ming and Qing Streets, built in the traditional Ming and Qing style architecture of bricks with stone. Shops and houses of prosperous trading families line what was once the \u201cWall Street of China\u201d.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Qiao Family Compound<\/strong> \u2013 Moviegoers may recognize the Qiao Family Compound as the main location in the film\u00a0<em>Raise the Red Lantern.<\/em>\u00a0Construction began in 1756 and was completed sometime in the 18<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century to become the residential compound for a well-known financier. Architects believe the 9,000 square meters of the estate to be one of the finest examples of imposing private residences in northern China and a must-see on a Pingyao tour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shuanglin Monastery<\/strong> \u2013 Be surprised by the Shuanglin Monastery, located in Qiaotou village in the countryside about 7 kilometers outside Pingyao. Founded in the 6<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century, the monastery is notable for its collection of more than 2,000 decorated clay statues dating back to the 12-19<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0centuries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-brain1981-gutenberg-box-accordion\"><div class='itinerary-item'><div class='itinerary-item-q'><p>Experience more<\/p><\/div><div class='itinerary-item-a'><div class='itinerary-item-a-inner'><p>A world away from China\u2019s super-sized modern cities, Pingyao is a welcome and refreshing change.
