China - Travel - UNESCO World Heritage City of Pingyao

An elderly resident walks through the old laneways and small streets in the maze-like old neighborhood inside the city walls of Pingyao, in central China's Shanxi province. Pingyao has a history of being one of the first financial centers in China and it was quick to prosper in the Qing Dynasty. Today it is well known for its 12-meter-high city walls, its 72 watchtowers and its 4-meter-wide moat, which all still exist in much of their original form.
