Pingyao old town

 2025-10-24 (Friday)

Most of the day was spent in the Pingyao Old Town (a traditional Han Chinese city founded in the 14th century).

Being driven inside the walled city

We walked to the top of the wall to have a look.




We visited the preserved and restored first bank in China, Court Hall complex (and saw the enactment of a trial) and the prison.




We bought some vinegar – they are mad about the stuff and hundreds of stores sell all types in all shapes and sizes of containers. There’s even vinegar tasting (not bad at all!)

In the afternoon Marg and I went for a walk on the wall 1(1km).

Had the farewell dinner (as Bryan and Greg were leaving the next day). A banquet with drinks and presents for everybody!
