Xiao Yan: Hi, Paul. I’m sorry to hear you’re leaving tomorrow. So what did you make of Pingyao
Paul: Well, to be honest, when I first arrived, I was a little disappointed. I had expected something different. But then I walked into the old city. I was so amazed! It was like walking into history. So many beautiful buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties…
Xiao Yan: Yes, Pingyao has a long history—over 2,000 years. It used to be a very important banking centre in China.
Paul: Yes, so I visited the Rishengchang Bank and learnt all about the Jin Businessmen. I’ve got to say though, it wasn’t as big as I had expected. But it was still interesting to learn about what banks were like almost 200 years ago.
Xiao Yan: Oh, well, what about the Ming-Qing Street—that’s pretty big. Some of the snacks there are amazing!
Paul: Oh, that place, yes. But I had no idea there would be so many tourists! So I decided to leave and ride out to Shuanglin Temple.
Xiao Yan: Oh, cool, that’s one of my favourite places! It’s so peaceful out there.
Paul: Yeah, that place is really quiet. And some of those sculptures—wow! I couldn’t believe how big and lifelike they were.
Xiao Yan: Yes, they’re amazing. So today you walked along the city wall, right
Paul: Unfortunately, no. I just didn’t have the time.
Xiao Yan: Wow, I can’t believe you didn’t see the wall! You have to stay longer, Paul. There’s so much more of Pingyao’s history to see.
Paul: Oh, don’t worry. I’ll be back in Turtle City one day—I just can’t get enough of those beef noodles!
