Near the beginning of April 2011 we took a trip to Shanxi Province to visit the ancient walled city of Pingyao. We called it a 2.5-day trip, heading down on the fast train at noon on the first day, and flying back on the evening of the last day. Below you'll see some photos of the city and what we got up to on our visit!
