The ancient city of Pingyao is now built in the early Ming Dynasty. There was no gate building. During the Qing Kangxi period, in order to welcome the emperor, a tall gate building was built on the north and south gates. The three-story heavy mountain-style structure was tall and powerful.

This is the city building on the top of Yingxumen. The building has three floors and is very beautiful. You can buy a ticket to visit the city wall. I didn't pay attention to whether I could climb the building. Look at the photo, there is no one in it, it should not be able to go up.

There are 6 city gates in Pingyao Ancient City, two from the east to the west, and one from the north to the south. If you want to go up the city wall, you can only enter from the south gate tower, and you can go down by 6 city gates. The outside of the south gate tower is now under overhaul, so it is closed early, but the lights are still open at night. Up the city tower, you can see a large area of Pingyao Ancient City, but you can't see the panoramic view, because it is not high enough

The South Gate Tower is located above the Yingxu Gate at the south gate of Pingyao Ancient City. This is the largest and most magnificent city building on the wall of Pingyao Ancient City. The city building itself is very worth seeing, simple and beautiful. In addition, it is also a good place to enjoy the panoramic view of Pingyao Ancient City, and the magnificent landscape is also impressive. It is highly recommended to come here to see!

Accidental harvest Friday night 20:00-20:20 only had a light show. Therefore, the south gate is closed at night, and I have to go around the big bend from the small south gate to the city and then go to the south gate outside the square to watch. The laser projection of the city wall as the background is very beautiful and dynamic.
