平遥古城：明清古城的活态博物馆
作为中国保存最完整的四大古城之一，平遥古城于1997年入选世界文化遗产。古城墙周长6.4公里，登墙可俯瞰青砖灰瓦的明清街巷，日升昌票号见证了中国金融业的起源。城内双林寺的2000余尊明代彩塑栩栩如生，镇国寺的万佛殿则是五代木构建筑的孤例。推荐体验古城夜景，并参加每年9月的平遥国际电影展。
Pingyao Ancient City: A Living Museum of Ming-Qing Architecture
As one of China’s best-preserved "Four Great Ancient Cities," Pingyao Ancient City was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Its 6.4-kilometer-long city wall offers panoramic views of Ming and Qing-era streets lined with blue-brick houses and gray-tiled roofs. The Rishengchang Draft Bank, recognized as the birthplace of China’s banking industry, stands as a historical landmark. Within the city, the Shuanglin Temple houses over 2,000 lifelike painted clay sculptures from the Ming Dynasty, while the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall of Zhenguo Temple remains the only surviving example of Five Dynasties-era wooden architecture. For an immersive experience, explore the city’s enchanting nocturnal scenery and attend the annual Pingyao International Film Festival in September. |
