World Heritage Cities in China
摘要
The Ancient City of Pingyao is located in Pingyao County at the center of Shanxi Province, China, and formed by three parts including the entire ancient urban area encircled by the Pingyao enclosures, Shuanglin Temple six kilometers southwest of the county town, and Zhenguo Temple twelve kilometers northeast of the county seat. The Ancient City of Pingyao has well preserved the authentic appearance of a county-level city in the Central Plains of China where the Han ethnic group inhabited from the 14th to the twentieth century in the Han Dynasty.
