    It's a charming and interesting ancient city! We enjoyed strolling the old streets, and visiting the food stalls. I would like to thank our guide who was very helpful and looked after my parents on the whole Pingyao trip.

    I brought my son to Pingyao Ancient Town on January. We visited Ming-Qing Street, Security Guard Company, Rishengchang Exchange Shop as well as Pingyao City Wall in succession. January was the off-season in China, so we had enough space and time to pay a good visit to this ancient town. Really a satisfying tour!

    This Shanxi travel was satisfactory. We went to the Pingyao Ancient Town, a historical and cultural city. With our guide, we visited several attractions with a unique architectural style. I was most impressed with Rishengchang Exchange Shop, the first money exchange shop in China. It provided great convenience for people in Qing dynasties and made huge contributions to China’s financial business. On this trip, our guide was considerate and thoughtful. Our driver was skillful and polite. A great trip! We would choose TCG again! ... More

    This Pingyao Ancient Town trip was worthwhile and beyond our expectations. The itinerary was excellent and everything ran very smoothly. We paid a visit to Ancient Ming-Qing Street, where we felt the flourishing businesses and appreciated the ancient buildings. Various kinds of shops were lined along the streets, all built with stones and bricks, remaining the architecture style of Ming and Qing dynasties. Other spots like Rishengchang Exchange Shop, Ancient City of Pingyao, and Pingyao City Wall were fantastic and charming… We not only appreciated traditional Chinese culture but also felt the life scene of ancient people. Our guide worked very hard to meet our needs and we were satisfied with itinerary, meals, and hotels. Highly recommend! ... More

    I traveled to Pingyao Ancient Town with my parents and 5-year-old niece. Many thanks to our guide, she helped me to look after them. Her good knowledge and excellent explanation helped us to learn a lot about this city. On the Ming-Qing Street, we were lucky to watch folk artists performing. We were attracted and really admired their talents and endeavors. It was a cheerful trip. Thanks!

    I booked a 4-day Pingyao tour with my parents on Travel China Guide. We were very satisfied with this group tour. The guide took good care of my old parents. The hotel was of high quality and the buffets were palatable. We had a plan to make another trip to Xi’an on TCG!
