Itinerary

Pingyao and Zhangbi Underground Castle Adventure Day Tour

Zhangbi Ancient Castle (45km from Pingyao) is a Sui-Tang dynasty military fortress with the longest preserved underground defensive tunnel network in China — 10km of corridors over 3 levels, dug for ambushes and supply storage. Above-ground: walled village with the Tang-era Empty Wang Temple, Ming-dynasty Liuyi Temple, and the original twelve zodiac shrines. Underground: bring a flashlight (provided) for the 800m tunnel walk visitors can access — claustrophobics should skip. Morning at Pingyao city, afternoon driving to Zhangbi for guided castle tour. Private vehicle, guide, entrance tickets included.

I went in most excited about Pingyao old town. Funny enough, Pingyao is the part I kept talking about afterward.

What helped was simple: our questions wandered well beyond the standard facts, and the guide stayed with them. That made the time at Pingyao much more interesting. For 8 hours around Pingyao, the pace felt about right.

Looking back, I would check the weather and dress in layers. We moved between the vehicle, open spaces and indoor sites often enough to notice the difference. I would still leave extra time for Pingyao old town.
