Helen's Silk Road
Staying in Pingyao for 3 nights. It began like the other days 35C and 80+humidity then a lovely cool change on day2 24F then the rain. The city is a lovely pretty city which is just as you imagine an old Chinese city. Cobblestone streets. Lots of little shops, cafés, street stalls and bars. Red lanterns and city walls. I walked as much of the 6.5k as was open. In all a very pleasant stop. The 1st day there when it was hot! we went on a 7 hour tour organised by Richard to the Wang family courtyard and the underground village/fortress. The Wang complex has 123 courtyards and over 1000 rooms important family in Qing dynasty. Then the underground village. The tunnels we visited were 1.5k if 10k.
