), an intact, walled Chinese town with an un-
broken sense of continuity to its Qing-dynasty heyday, is a true gem. Pingyao
ticks most of your China boxes with a flourish: imposing city walls, atmospher-
ic alleys, ancient shopfronts, traditional courtyard houses, some excellent ho-
tels and hospitable locals, all in a compact area. You can travel the length and
breadth of China and not find another town like it. In fact, when you discover
Pingyao, you may never want to leave.
