Pingyao is a county in central Shanxi province in China, which is an outstanding example of a Han Chinese(汉民族) city of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the Qing Dynasty, Pingyao was a financial centre of China.The ancient city, whose history dates back some 2,000 years and which is famous for its well-preserved city walls, was added to the UNESCO’s World Heritage List on December 31st, 1997.
The city walls of Pingyao were constructed in the 3rd year of the Hongwu Emperor (1370). The walls have six barbican(保护城门或吊桥的外堡) gates. The north and south sides have one gate each. The east and west sides have two gates each. This pattern is similar to that of a turtle (the head, tail and four legs), earning Pingyao the moniker “Turtle City”.

The main scenic spots of Pingyao
During the Ming and Qing dynasties (1367–1912), Ming-Qing Street controlled more than half of the financial institutions in China and was known as the “China’s Wall Street” of that period. Some of the snacks there are amazing.
Rishengchang Bank was the first bank in China. It was established in 1823, in the Qing Dynasty. In the 19th century, Rishengchang Bank controlled almost half of the Chinese economy. Its branches were widespread throughout China’s big cities and capital, Beijing.
Founded in the 6th century, Shuanglin Temple is notable for its collection of more than 2,000 lifelike clay sculptures that are dated to the 12th-19th centuries. It is nicknamed the museum of coloured sculptures.

Xiao Yan: Paul: Yes, Pingyao has a long history- over 2,000 years. It used to be a very important banking centre in China.
Yes, so I visited the Rishengchang Bank and learnt all about the Jin Businessmen. I’ve got to say though, it wasn’t as big as I had expected. But it was still interesting to learn about what banks were like almost 200 years ago.
