Located in Shanxi Province, it was originally was established some 2,700 years ago. It hosts some of the best-preserved traditional architecture in China and mostly stands as it was during its heyday in the late Ming and Qing dynasties.
Over the centuries, Pingyao prospered into the most important trading and financial centre in China and was where the country's earliest commercial banks were established.
