 Best time to Visit the Pingyao
The spring and autumn months of April and May and September and October respectively are the best as in much of Northern and Central China although the city can be visited year round. The week of the Photography festival in September is always busy and should be booked long in advance.

Best reason to visit the Pingyao
There are few largely intact ancient cities left in China and so the completeness of the Ming architecture here is the best reason to visit in our opinion. Despite increasing popularity much of Pingyao feels little changed from Ming times once you are inside its magnificent city walls.

Our last word on the Pingyao
Seeing as it is relatively easy to fit a trip to Pingyao in between Beijing and Xian it is well worth considering it as an option. If you have an interest in photography at all the Photography Festival shouldn't be missed both as an opportunity to see the best of Chinese and foreign exhibitions as well as sheer photogenic value as well!
