Location	City - Pingyao State - SHANXI Country - China
About	Pingyao is a small town in central Shanxi Province whose history goes back 2,700 years, when it was first built during the reign of King Xuan (827-782 BC) of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Until this very day, the town looks much the same as when it was the county seat of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The city wall stretches for about six kilometers. The town is protected by a city moat, both three meters deep and wide. Outside the city gate is a drawbridge. Within the city, four big streets and eight small streets radiate to join with 72 lanes. The 3,797 original quadrangle residential houses are all of the same black-colored bricks and gray-colored tiles. Out of the total, over 400 of these courtyard houses are still well preserved. There are also temples of varying size and old-fashioned stores. After much discussion, the dealer brought me to the back of his house, and moved a sheet of tin then some plastic and here were these Ming beauties, of which one has been donated to a museum in the west... the other I will not tell... One day when bicycling on top of the wall, I saw a church steeple, which on the following sunday found, it had survived the Cultural Revolution. The capture has an overlay of a Chinese tune.

Thanks for the interesting about to go with this great image. The tones are so good, [maybe I should say 'tunes' are good LOL] as well as the detail.
