Pingyao Ancient City has many fans across the country, and is very concerned about the preservation of ancient buildings, ancient city walls, and ancient culture. It is a very complete 5A-level scenic spot. The ancient city of Pingyao has a long history and was an extremely important place in Shanxi during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, advanced economic minds established the first bank account in the history of our country here. Let the commerce here develop rapidly and become a developed trade exchange place.

In the past when Shanxi Province’s economy was at its best, the center of economic development was not in Taiyuan, the provincial capital, but in Pingyao. To this day, coins embedded in the ancient walls of Pingyao Ancient City can still be found, including copper and iron. Some people joke that this is not a "copper wall and an iron wall"? Not to mention, in fact, the purpose of people doing this at that time was this kind of consideration. At that time, people did this in order to get a stable, solid and thick meaning. In fact, this also shows from the side that people at that time were very money.

So what made Pingyao such a prosperous economic center at that time? If you walk into Pingyao Ancient City and take a closer look, you will definitely discover something. The extremely popular "Ming and Qing Street" may give you the answer. This is the core street of this ancient city. It is less than 500 meters long. How many shops are there in it? More than seventy rooms in total! Everything is available, whether it is food, clothing, housing and transportation, various entertainment, information, economic venues, or traditional time-honored shops, they are all included. Even after countless years, you can still feel the bustling atmosphere at that time.

The ancient city of Pingyao has a rigorous architectural structure, which is stable, symmetrical, and has an extremely neat structural layout. If you take a bird's-eye view of the ancient city, you will find that the entire ancient city is like a giant turtle as stable as Mount Tai lying on the ground. When the ancients built this ancient city, they intended to build it into an indestructible fortress. Therefore, the thickness of the city wall and its structure have their own significance, so this ancient city is also called "Turtle City".
