Pingyao City Tower

This is the signature structure standing proud above Pingyao, the tallest building in the old town – snap a photo before passing under it en route to other sites. Sadly, you can no longer climb it for city views as a gate bars its stone steps. An antiques vendor works in the shop next to the tower.
