BEIJING, May 19 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Most travelers thinking of travel in China will have images of busy cities full of cars and busy streets. What most travelers don't know is that a small ancient city exists where no cars are allowed; Pingyao. The China Guide (http://www.thechinaguide.com ) is whisking travelers to this unique destination to explore a different side of the Mainland.
Pingyao is an ancient walled city preserved in its original state, as required by its UNESCO World Heritage Site status. Any renovations or repairs are done using ancient construction methods and in the style of ancient times. The center area of Pingyao is for pedestrians only, making it great for a relaxing walk and also great material for photographers trying to catch some rare moments.
"A complete tour of China visits a lot of big booming cities and that can get a bit tiresome. Our guests need some relaxing downtime in a quieter destination," says Judy Huang, Travel Manager of The China Guide. "Pingyao is such a special destination that isn't common on most itineraries but we want to make it more prominent on the travel scene. It provides a very traditional and local feel for guests."
The charming ancient city is full of history with great little boutique hotels, good cuisine and even coffee shops for those who need their daily cup. Pingyao is the perfect 2 night stay so fits well into any travel plans. The best way to arrive is by plane to the near city of Taiyuan. The China Guide is booking domestic flights for guests who want to have a complete travel itinerary.
