Stroll through the streets of Pingyao

The ancient city of Pingyao is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-see destination. You can take a high-speed train, regular train, or bus from Taiyuan to the ancient city, but driving is the most convenient option. The main attractions of an ancient city are its architecture and historical sites, as well as its cultural and artistic value. As for the food and internet-famous spots, you can skip them. In winter, the ancient city is bathed in warm sunlight, with few tourists and many shops closed. You can take your time to explore, capture the beautiful scenery on your phone, and savor the experience.
