Features: This is a thousand-year-old ancient city that shines like the sun. Here, the only prototype of ancient Chinese "county towns" is perfectly preserved. Here, it is the birthplace of Chinese banking, and the numerous ruins of exchange houses are undoubtedly "living fossils" for studying modern Chinese financial and commercial culture. Here, famous scenic spots and historical sites are scattered everywhere, and precious cultural relics can be seen at every turn. It is also a treasure trove of ancient Chinese painted clay sculptures, worthy of being called "world treasures." Pingyao, "in the development of Chinese history, has presented people with a complete picture of extraordinary cultural, social, economic, and religious development."
