Day 6 – March 25th – Pingyao – Uncle Bob's Scenic Tours

After finding the dining room we finished our breakfast and headed out to explore the ancient walled city of Pingyao.

We walked leisurely up to the main east gate of the city and decided that even a small place like this was too big to explore on foot so we embarked on a city tour in one of the many electric carts.

Our guide stopped at many places of interest for us to explore and take photos.

We stopped at a medieval building showing ancient building crafts and how the buildings, gates and shrines were built with hand tools and with no nails or dowels, just superb interlocking craftsmanship.

This was a great way to see the city which although quite small would be tiring to visit in one day.

At the end of the tour we stopped at a delightfully coffer shop and feeling refreshed we strode out on foot to see more of this most interesting place.
