Well, Pingyao would leave you gobsmacked. The wall ringing the city is impressive enough. The gray brick fortification must rise at least 20 meters above the valley floo and the North Gate another 20 above that. Flags ripple a rainbow of colour over the battlements. Clearly visible from the road into Pingyao, I’d have stumbled into this place even without the benefit of friendly advice. And that advice still did not prepare me for what I found inside the walls.
