Atmospheric Píngyáo is arguably the best-preserved ancient walled city in China, delighting visitors with its narrow cobbled streets, bright red lanterns and rich layers of history. The charming Han city is justifiably popular with tourists; let a local guide take you on a Pingyao tour that leads you away from the crowds to discover real scenes of quiet village life that go on today as they have for centuries.
The entire walled city of Pingyao is a World Heritage Site. Your guide will explain the city's history to you as you walk around parts of the imposing wall – a full ten meters in height. Gaze at the City God Temple, famed worldwide for its magnificent architectural detail and sheer size. Before you leave the area, make sure to visit the Shuanglin and Zhenguo Temples, where you can witness 1500 year old temple architecture and the vast collection of colourful Ming Dynasty sculptures.
Experience Pingyao's vivid daily life and ancient history with your private Pingyao tour. |

we joined in on a trip she had arranged on the Great Wall. She knows how to get to the wild, unrestored parts that even the locals seldom see. Our trip that time included a night stay in a bed and breakfast type place where we experienced the real thing to the fullest living with the local people for a fraction of the cost of what other places would charge. Cleanliness and safety were always ensured wherever she took us.

Heidi’s specialty is finding great spots to hike and enjoy nature in the Beijing area, especially on unrestored portions of the Great Wall connecting undeveloped, “tourist-free” wilderness, farmland and villages. Heidi’s level of communication in English is basic. However, this does not pose a problem for the adventurous sort of person that enjoys her tours.
