Pingyao Ancient City Private Car

Step back into the Ming and Qing dynasties in Pingyao, one of China's best-preserved walled cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Ride inside the gates, walk the ancient city wall, and visit Rishengchang, the 'first bank of China'.

We pick you up from Taiyuan or Pingyao high-speed rail station. The walled city is pedestrian-friendly, so your driver parks outside and waits while you explore. Fixed price from $100.
