The Wall Street of China

Enclosed by huge, grim walls with flagstone streets laid out in a careful plan based on Taosit cosmology, the ancient city of Pingyao is a marvellous example of traditional architecture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. 


In its heyday, this city was the Wall Street of China, an important and bustling centre of banking and finance.
