Situated in the heart of Shanxi Province, right along the Fen River. Pingyao is an ancient town boosting over 2,700 years of history. The city's original layout, built during the Western Zhou Dynasty, is for the most part wholly preserved. Most of the city walls, streets, residence homes, and temples in the city remain undamaged and unchanged. Along with the historical significance of the city, Pingyao has a temperate climate. The spring varies between day and night with little rain and strong winds while the autumns are comfortable.
In fact, when Pingyao was inducted into UNESCO's World Heritage List on December 31st, 1997, the organization glorified the city as "an outstanding example of a Han Chinese city of the Ming and Qing Dynasties (14th-20th centuries) that has retained all its features to an exceptional degree and in doing so provides a remarkably complete picture of cultural, social, economic, and religious development during one of the most seminal periods of Chinese history."
