Brief Description
"Ping Yao is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a traditional Han Chinese city, founded in the 14th century. Its urban fabric shows the evolution of architectural styles and town planning in Imperial China over five centuries. Of special interest are the imposing buildings associated with banking, for which Ping Yao was the major centre for the whole of China in the 19th and early 20th centuries."
平遥古城
"平遥古城建于14世纪，是现今保存完整的汉民族城市的杰出范例。其城镇布局集中反映了五个多世纪以来，中国的建筑风格和城市规划的发展。特别值得一提的是，这里与银行业有关的建筑格外雄伟，因为19至20世纪初期平遥是整个中国金融业的中心。"
