Walled City of Pingyao

Ancient Chinese city-states were almost all walled, to protect them from enemy invasions. During the Cultural Revolution, almost all walls were destroyed, but this is one of the few that fortunately survived.

Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it as it brings back memories of our trip just a few months back. We really loved PingYao especially staying at the Yide Hotel which was previously a rich merchant's mansion.

I was here earlier this year, thanks for bringing back the memories! Although it wasn't so polluted when I was there. I stayed in Beijing, that was much worse.
