I made a bee line from Beijing to Xi'an. But once there I noticed that I had skipped Ping Yao. So I back tracked. I so glad I did. This city has to be seen. When I first went to Germany, my thought was "Is this it?". They are just big modern cities. Many cities in China are exactly that. But the first time I went to Innsbruck, it was the way I had always pictured Germany, although it's a city of austria. Ping Yao is how I picture China. Yes, I do know better. China is an industrialized nation. But little Ping Yao is an ancient intact Chinese city. Especially while looking at it from the south gate wall. It's like what Rome would be if it wasn't in ruins and regular people still lived there. Sadly, it's kind of toursity now days with the UNESCO curse. I don't eat within the walls since once you leave them, you get regular Chinese prices. But wandering here at night when the tour groups are gone, you can see what it was like 500, 1000 or 2000 years ago. Definitely do take the little dirt side alleys. Not all of it is souvenior shops and tourist restraurants. People actually live here. You can see the coal cart delivering the daily coal. Unlike the other parts of China where they just drop off standard cylinders. The coal guys just have a cart full of raw chunks of coal drawn by mules. They bust them up and the spot and make pancakes that they just let dry in front of peoples houses or shops. The oil guy walks around yelling for people to come get a cup of oil to cook with. It's all still there. Just head away from the tour group loud speakers.
Bring money though. There's only one ATM that works internation out of the 3 in the area. It's broken right now.
