Pingyao China

Pingyao (simplified Chinese: 平遥, traditional Chinese: 平遙, pinyin: Píngyáo) is a Chinese city in the province of Shanxi. It is located halfway between Beijing and Xi'an and 80 km from the capital of the province, Taiyuan. The city was founded in the 14th century and maintains a good part of the original architecture of the Ming and Qing eras. The old town is surrounded by a wall of 6 km in length and 12 m in height with six gates and some seventy watchtowers. The Old City of Pingyao was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997, and also includes the walls and the inner city, the temples of Zhenguo and Shuanglin, located outside the walls. A small weaving business of the late eighteenth century prospered and expanded into other cities, starting to issue checks and becoming a funding center that would lead to the first of the Chinese banks (called tongs).
