Pingyao Ancient City is located in Pingyao County in central Shanxi Province. It is a 5A-level tourist attraction in our country.

Below is a 500-word essay about visiting the ancient city of Pingyao that I carefully compiled for you. I hope it can help you.

Visiting the Ancient City of Pingyao Over the weekend, our whole family visited Shanxi together. Among them, the one that impressed me the most was Pingyao, one of the world’s cultures.

Now let me introduce it to you! The ancient city of Pingyao was built in the period of King Xuan of Zhou from 827 BC to 782 BC. It is one of the most outstanding masterpieces of ancient Chinese architecture.

The ancient city of Pingyao was designed in the form of a turtle. In the Ming Dynasty, the earth walls were expanded and built into brick walls, which reflected the ancients' desire for beauty and auspiciousness.

Turtle City means longevity and immortality, as strong as a rock.

The ancient city of Pingyao has both complete defense functions and traditional cultural connotations.

The rows of shops on the streets of Pingyao are a true reflection of the commercial streets in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Today, most of the buildings still maintain their old appearance and are still bustling with activity.

The "Rishengchang" bank building on Pingyao City West Street reflects the traditional architectural style of Jinzhong, Shanxi.

Rishengchang is the first private bank in China. It operates the cross-regional exchange of silver taels and operates deposit and loan businesses.

Its birth opened a new era of China's commercial and financial development.

As the originator of Chinese banknotes, Rishengchang originated from China's feudal economy, and its business ethics are also based on Confucian etiquette and ethics.

It takes integrity, diligence, team spirit, self-cultivation and self-discipline as its business ethics and principles.

A higher cultural level could also be seen in its operations until the liberation of Pingyao in 1948.

After a hundred years of vicissitudes, Rishengchang Bank has come to an end. After listening to my introduction and recommendation, Pingyao must have left a deep impression on you.

Do you also want to visit? It’s better to take action than to take action, so hurry up and leave! I’ll leave first if I have something to do, bye! Tour to Pingyao Ancient City Today our family took a day trip to Pingyao Ancient City in Shanxi Province.

Pingyao Ancient City is located in the central part of Shanxi Province. It is one of the four well-preserved ancient cities in China. It is also the only ancient county town in my country that has successfully applied for a world cultural heritage as a whole ancient city.

It's already past seven o'clock when we get here. Our bus can't drive into the city and can only park in the parking lot outside the city.

We took the sightseeing car and wandered into the city.

I saw that there is a moat outside the ancient city of Pingyao, and the ancient city wall inside.

Once you enter the ancient city, it becomes lively. Shops large and small, with a dazzling array of products, are dazzling.

The sightseeing bus took us through many alleys and arrived at an inn. The inn is a wooden courtyard with a rigorous layout and symmetrical layout. The courtyards are often separated by ornately decorated hanging flower doors.

Most of the inns are beautifully decorated.

The next day, we came to the ancient city wall. The ancient city has basically preserved the prototype of the county seat during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and is known as the "turtle" city.

It is said that this is because the square city wall is shaped like a turtle: there are six gates, one each in the north and south, and two in the east and west.

The south gate is the turtle's head, the north gate is the turtle's tail, and the four east and west gates are the turtle's limbs.

The four main streets, eight small streets, and seventy-two alleys in the city form the Bagua pattern on the tortoise shell.

The pattern of streets and alleys is intertwined with longitude and latitude, well organized and with clear priorities.

There are still about 50,000 residents living in the ancient city! We came to the first bank in China, Rishengchang. Here, I understood that the bank was the bank in ancient times, and Rishengchang was the Bank of China.

The founder of China Minzu Bank.

After that, we went to the Qing Dynasty County Office in the center of the ancient city. This is where the county magistrate went to court to handle cases. It has a complete range of torture instruments and cells for holding prisoners.

Even though it's daytime here, I feel eerie.

Walking into the ancient city of Pingyao is like opening a thick history book, which is a living history.

Pingyao Ancient City Pingyao Ancient City is an outstanding example of Chinese Han cities in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and is one of the most complete ancient cities in existence.

Its entire shape is like a turtle, so it is also called Turtle City.

It has six main gates, namely the south gate of the turtle head, the north gate of the turtle tail, and the four turtle claws: the upper east gate, the lower east gate, the upper west gate and the lower west gate.

Walking into the city, I felt like I had traveled through time.

The streets are paved with large bluestones, and the houses on both sides of the street are all made of wood, just like in costume dramas. The roofs are paved with black tiles, the windows and doors are hollowed out and carved, painted red, and the beams are painted with

Various oil paints.

Some of the facade houses along the street are selling snacks, and the wooden tables and chairs used are also hollow, full of ancient charm; some shops sell folk crafts made of cloth; some sell varnished crafts;

African drum, the shopkeeper plays music and performs with a strong sense of rhythm.

There is also a street full of bars, each of which is decorated in a unique style without losing its ancient charm.

Every street here looks similar, and so do the architectural styles of the houses.

You don’t have to worry about finding the exit here, because the streets and alleys here extend in all directions, and you can always turn onto the main street.
