Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Pingyao (Lunch)
Pick up from your hotel or train station in Pingyao. If taking the high speed train for a round-trip, we recommend you arrive at Pingyao Railway Station before noon. First visit the Ancient City Wall. This city wall enjoys the longest history compared with the others across China and remains almost intact. The walls measure about 12 meters high, with a perimeter of 6,000 meters. A 4-meter wide, 4-meter deep moat can be found just outside the walls.
Next stop is Rishengchang Former Bank. It was the pioneer of China's national banking sector, once operated the economic lifeline of the Qing dynasty throughout the nineteenth century. Its branches were distributed in more than 30 cities across the country, as well as far to Europe and America, Southeast Asia and other countries, becoming famous to the world known as "Land of Wealth" at the time.
Move to the Ancient Ming-Qing Street. Serving as the central axis, it has been the busiest commercial block of the city for hundreds of years. This 450-yard-long street gathers around 80 antique stores, including exchange shops, pawnshops, security guard companies, and other handicraft workshops.
After tour, transfer you to hotel in Pingyao.

Day 2: Departure from Pingyao
Pick you up from your hotel. Today we will visit Wang Family Courtyard. Wang Family Courtyard in Shanxi is actually not a “courtyard”, it is a cluster of courtyards or castles. The huge Wang family compound used to have five castles, five lanes and five ancestral temples with an area of 250,000 square meters, much larger than the 150,000 square-meter Forbidden City in Beijing and Qiao Family Coutyard.With a history of over 680 years, the Wangs have lived on for 27 generations throughout all the ups and downs. This largest-existing folk residence cluster sits on the slopes of the hills. Layers of gardens and courtyard houses on different heights of the hills give the compound more levels and the hill more lively and glamour.
After tour, transfer to train station to see you off.
