北京

The imperial city’s landmarks, still-smoking alleys and sumptuous northern cuisine make it a perfect place to take your time to explore between classic attractions.

平遥

Pingyao is a rare and well-preserved traditional county town. The city walls, streets, courtyard houses, temples and banknotes all retain the ancient Chinese urban structure. The World Heritage Site also includes Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple outside the city. If conditions permit, you should stay for one night. You can see the still living community outside the popular streets in the early morning and evening.
