Pingyao · 平遥县衙

Pingyao County Yamen

Where the magistrate worked. Less famous than the bank, and just as useful if you want the town to be a town and not a shopping street. Often included on the same city ticket.

Historic sites 历史古迹

Historic civic architecture. Give it the hour if the bank has made you curious about who kept order while the money moved.

Skip it only if the ticket excludes it and you are already walked out.

Getting there

Inside the walls, central. Walk.

Staying nearby

Inside the town. The yamen is a visit on the way to lunch, not a lodge.
