Pingyao 平遥 The Eternal City, China
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2014
- Pingyao dates back 2,700 years, and is one of the best preserved ancient cities in the world.
• Ming Dynasty Pottery &... • Beijing Train Station ... • Hanging Temple of Heng... • The Great Wall of Chin... • Gubei Water Town 中国古北水乡
During the Qing Dynasty this city was a financial center of China. It is still inhabited by 50,000 residents and is renowned for its well-preserved ancient city wall, and was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.
Pingyao still retains its city layout from the Ming and Qing dynasties, conforming to a typical Ba gua pattern. More than 300 sites in or near the city have ancient ruins. Preserved Ming- and Qing-style residences number close to 4,000. The streets and storefronts still largely retain their historical appearance.
The city walls of Pingyao were constructed in the 3rd year of the Hongwu Emperor (1370). The walls have six barbican gates. The north and south sides have one gate each. The east and west sides have two gates each.
This pattern is similar to that of a turtle (the head, tail and four legs), earning Pingyao the moniker "Turtle City." The walls measure about 12 metres high, with a perimeter of 6,000 metres. A 4-metre wide, 4-metre deep moat can be found just outside the walls. Aside from the four structured towers at the four corners, there are also 72 watchtowers and more than 3,000 battlements.

This is the china I want to visit.
I went there in 2008 for two or three days. On one night , we had a black out. the old city was lighted with candle. It was magical ,the city was back to the 18th century.it is one on the rare moment, that I was glad to be without electricity.
christo fat future world should be without electricity.
christo fat in fact is built in ming dynasty,around 14,15century
Good
str bay . The City may be. But for most of the building , they date from the Qing dynasty. The style are clearly Qing.
very memorable experience
I prefer this to Shanghai or Hong Kong which both are surrounded by jungles of skyscrapers which doesn't represent China. Pingyao is what I call a "Truly Chinese City" where tradition still exists. Even the local attire, they are worn and the traditional market is still there. LOVE IT!
Thanks for commenting Arolema!
That's the same these days for Shanghai too.
China can't progress based on what you like.
Truly OLD Chinese City
I went to Pingyao three years ago and the beauty of the place left me speechless - cannot wait to visit it again!
I too would love a return visit to Pingyao. Maybe I'll see you there. ;-) Best
You are very insulting and no manners
i have never hear this place.
One of the most wonderous place I have seen in China. Pingyao is so beautiful.
Thanks for commenting Eduardo.
The beauty of Pingyao Ancient City is beyond description. Standing at the intersection between West St. and South St. was one of the most amazing moments in my life.
pingyao and other preserved cities and towns in China like Fenghuang, Dali, Wuzhen, Zhouzhuang etc are such gems, most other cities in Asia as been the victim of westernization or modernization, and have lost their original charm.
Don’t blame the west though, that’s China’s doing. China didn’t westernize also, it did what the Soviets did and that’s not a western thing.
More like modernism, the West also has lost a lot of its characteristic charm without many traditional buildings (sadly, I also love China's traditions). This needs to stop
@@LebaneseBaron yeah modernism, that's what is is.
@@LebaneseBaron i have good news for you
They forget that modernization itself doesn't have to sacrifice the city architecture and aesthetics.
very beautiful China love from India and thank you for this vidio

A wonderful view of this historic city. Great and fascinating view. Thanks for posting.
Hi Habeeb, thanks for your comment.
great city of fun, art, architects
Thanks for commenting.
This is one of the most beautiful ancient structure of China left standing, all the new buildings being built left out the beautiful elements & what Chinese architecture stands for, now most buildings are bland , quick and look somehow cheap. Hope to see more designs that actually represent Chinese heritage & artisanal skills rather than what’s easy and convenient.
Thanks for commenting.
A city with 3000 years history. But most of the buildings were remade in 14,15th century. After all, its original style remains till now.
Of course it was remade. Pretty common sense if you ask me
Absolutely wonderful video, picture, music....blown away
Thanks Pär.
On a mild winter day we explored the ancient city of Pingyao.
Nice original authentic superbly preserved tradition

關於平遙的看法,在海關,帝國,時間,榮譽上都是如此。 藝術可以從建築中看出來,並將中國視為地球內心的一部分。
saya pernah panjat tangga Great Wall di Beijing, China. Suasana sejuk damai, tempat yang bagus utk buat senaman taichi...kungfu panda. Ha.haa.

You pronounced wrong at 0:53. It is Ping-Yao, not Pin-Gyao.
Nice.......
