The English speaking guide will pick you up from your hotel. After breakfast pay a visit to the Ancient City of Pingyao (UNESCO), a well-preserved ancient Chinese city of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. You will admire the Ancient City Wall built with bricks and stones. Then approach to Rishengchang Bank - the first exchange bank of China, and get impressed by the Old Government Buildings. The courtyard houses, narrow streets and small shops in the city provide a complete picture of China’s cultural and social lifestyle during that period of time.

The afternoon transfer to Shuanglin Temple. This Buddhist temple houses more than 2,000 terracotta figurines dating back to the Song and Yuan dynasties. These figurines are exquisitely vivid, earning the temple a reputation of ‘the Treasure House of Painted Sculptures’. These sculptures were molded onto wooden skeletons, like flesh to bone, and even in a deteriorated form, appear life like. These lively sculptures show high artistic values in ancient time. They demonstrate the artistic styles of painted sculptures of the Tang, Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties.
