[4K China] Walking In The Ancient City Of Ping Yao | 平遥古城 | China Walking Tour
????[Intro]
Pingyao, officially Pingyao Ancient City,s a settlement in central Shanxi, China, famed for its importance in Chinese economic history and for its well-preserved Ming and Qing urban planning and architecture. Administratively, it comprises the town of Gutao in Pingyao County, Jinzhong. It has a population of about 500,000.
The town is first recorded c. 800 BC and has been the seat of local government since at least the Qin. By the 16th century, it was a regional financial hub; some consider it to have been the financial centre of the Qing Empire in the late 19th century. It is a AAAAA-rated tourist attraction, and the settlement and the outlying Zhenguo Temple and Shuanglin Temple became a World Heritage Site in 1997.
The city walls of Pingyao were constructed in 1370,the 3rd year of the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming. They enclose an area of about 2.25 km2 (0.87 sq mi).The town is accessed by six barbican gates, one each on the north and south walls and two each on the east and west walls. This pattern is similar to that of a turtle (the head, tail and four legs), earning Pingyao the moniker Turtle City. The walls measure about 12 m (39 ft) high, with a perimeter of 6,163 m (20,220 ft). A 4 m wide and 4 m (13 ft) deep moat can be found just outside the walls. Aside from the four structured towers at the four corners, there are also 72 watchtowers and more than 3,000 battlements. The number of defensive works supposedly represents the number of Confucius's disciples and other students.The walls are considered among the best-preserved ancient city walls on this scale.
???? [History]
There was already a settlement in place at Pingyao by the reign of the Xuan King (r. c. 827 – c. 782 BC), when the Zhou raised earthen ramparts around the site.
In the Spring and Autumn period, the county belonged to the kingdom of Jin. It was part of the kingdom of Zhao in the Warring States period. Under the Qin, it was known as Pingtao. During the Han Dynasty, it was known as the seat of Zhongdu County.
Pingyao served as the financial center of the region from the 16th century and of the entire Qing Empire during the late 19th century. During those times, there were more than 20 financial institutions within the city,comprising more than half of the total in the whole country. Rishengchang was the first and largest, controlling almost half of China's silver trade under the late Qing before going bankrupt in 1914 in the aftermath of the Xinhai Revolution.
Organized restorations have been undertaken periodically since the 15th century, the most recent phase beginning in 1979.In 1986, China designated Pingyao as one of the Chinese Historical and Cultural Cities. In 2004, part of the southern walls collapsed; they have since been reconstructed.In 2015, Pingyao ancient city became a national 5A-class tourist attraction.
Pingyao still retains its urban layout from the Ming and Qing dynasties,conforming to a typical ba gua pattern. More than 300 sites in or near the city have ancient ruins.The city has over a hundred streets and lanes, lined with close to 4,000 17th–19th century shops and residences.The streets and storefronts still largely retain their historical appearance.

Unveiling AI's Perfectly Planned Day in Singapore
Artificial Intelligence is everywhere. But how good is it at planning vacations? We put AI to the test in this episode of @windowseatworldtravel from Singapore. I arrived after a 19 hour flight, too tired to plan the day for myself. So I decided to leave the sightseeing to Chat GPT. We asked AI to list the top 10 things to do in Singapore during an 18 hour visit. The results? See for yourself! Can AI be your new travel agent? Hmmmm.

China ????????, Pingyao city
Pingyao is a city in China with preserved medieval buildings and the remaining intact city wall, the capital of Shanxi Province. The city's location on the banks of the Yellow River allowed it to become one of the region's most important trading centers. Pingyao is a wonderful city and worth a visit to get an idea of what traditional Chinese cities looked like in the past.
If you come to Pingyao from the north, you will see from the best side a battlemented city wall 6.4 km long and 10 m high, the original building of 1370 - at that time the inhabitants feared the attacks of the Mongols, who had just been expelled from China.

Life Inside an Ancient Chinese Walled City
Catch a glimpse of the real Pingyao that tourists seldom see. From medicine to theatre, life inside -and outside - the ancient wall are not at all what you'd expect.
Despite its long and impressive history, most of China’s ancient towns were destroyed by wars or breakneck development. The ancient walled city of Pingyao is a lucky exception.
Once known as “little Beijing”, Pingyao is almost 3000 years old. Its 100 streets and 4000 ancient shops and residences feel like a window back in time. Even the local dogs bear a striking resemblance to Chinese imperial guardian lions. Inside Pingyao’s 12 meter-high -walls, you can get a glimpse of what life was like in Imperial China.

Thành cổ Bình Dao, thành cổ 3000 năm được bảo tồn nguyên vẹn vì quá nghèo #shots #giaitri #xuhuong
Thành cổ Bình Dao, thành cổ 3000 năm được bảo tồn nguyên vẹn vì quá nghèo #shots #giaitri #xuhuong
Đây từng được xem là nơi giao thương sầm uất bậc nhất tại thời Minh và người ta vẫn hay ví von là phố Wall một thời của đất nước Trung Quốc và nay trở thành địa điểm du lịch rất nổi tiếng của tỉnh Sơn Tây và là thành cổ lâu đời nhất Trung Quốc, nó có lịch sử gần 3000 năm là 1 trong 4 cổ thành lớn nhất Trung Quốc, Thành cổ Bình Dao nằm ở thị Tấn Trung thuộc tỉnh Sơn Tây được xây dựng vào thế kỷ thứ 9 TCN vào thời Chu Tuyên vương của nhà Tây Chu, nơi đây có hơn 400 ngàn người sinh sống trong thành cổ có diện tích chỉ rộng 2,25 km2. Khi đi dạo trong thành chắc bạn sẽ cảm nhận được sự phồn thịnh trong quá khứ, nhưng điều thú vị là lý do thành cổ này được bảo tồn nguyên vẹn đến ngày nay là vì quá nghèo, vào những năm 50 thế kỷ trước, vì sự phát triển ở Trung Quốc rất nhiều nơi đã phá bỏ đi những công trình cổ và Bình Dao cũng không ngoại lệ nhưng điều may mắn là thời điểm đó địa phương không đủ kinh phí nên việc phá bỏ không thực hiện, do đó nó vô hình chung để lại cho Sơn Tây một di sản văn hóa Thế giới được Unesco công nhận vào năm 1997 và là một thắng cảnh du lịch hạng 5A của Trung Quốc. Nếu có dịp đến Trung Quốc hãy ché thăm Bình Dao nhé các bạn.

平遥古城，位于山西中部平遥县，始建于西周宣王时期（公元前827年～公元前782年），明代洪武三年（公元1370年）扩建，距今已有2800多年的历史 [53] 。迄今为止，它还较为完好地保留着明、清（公元1368～1911年）时期县城的基本风貌，堪称中国汉民族地区现存最为完整的古城。1997年12月作为文化遗产列入《世界遗产名录》。
平遥旧称“古陶”，自公元前221年秦朝政府实行“郡县制”以来，一直是县治所在地。明朝初年，为防御外族南扰，始建城墙，洪武三年（公元1370年）在旧墙垣基础上重筑扩修，并全面包砖。以后景泰、正德、嘉靖、隆庆和万历各代进行过十次的补修和修葺，更新城楼，增设敌台。康熙四十三年（公元1703年）因皇帝西巡路经平遥，而筑了四面大城楼，使城池更加壮观。平遥城墙总周长6163米，墙高约12米，把面积约2.25平方公里的平遥县城分隔为两个风格迥异的世界。城墙以内街道、铺面、市楼保留明清形制；城墙以外称新城。平遥城墙现存有6座城门瓮城、4座角楼和72座敌楼，其中南门城墙段于2004年倒塌，除此以外的其余大部分都至今完好，是中国现存规模较大、历史较早、保存较完整的古城墙之一，亦是世界遗产平遥古城的核心组成部分。此外，还有镇国寺、双林寺和平遥文庙等也都被纳入世界遗产的保护范围。
平遥有中国目前保存最完整的古代县城格局。平遥古城的交通脉络由纵横交错的四大街、八小街、七十二条蚰蜒巷构成。整座城市非常周正，街道横竖交织，街巷排列有致。市楼位于城市中央，明清街位于南北中轴线上。古城建筑分为两部分：城隍庙居左，县衙居右，文庙居左，关帝庙居右。道教清虚观居左，佛教寺院居右。平遥也被称作“龟城”，南门是头，北门是尾，东西四座城门为四条腿，城内四大街、八小街、七十二条蚰蜒巷仿佛龟背上的花纹，组成了一个庞大的八卦。它反映了平遥人经受苦难，渴望和平的朴素本质，人们希望在城墙的护卫下，这里是一个远离战乱的世外桃源。

平遥古城始建于周宣王时期，距今已有2700多年的历史，是我国保存最为完好的古城之一，这里的一砖一瓦都承载着一段厚重的历史！
