Wang's Family Compound (Wang Jia Dayuan)
At 9:00 am, your tour guide, personal car, and driver will pick you up from your hotel in Pingyao Old Town for 1.5-hour drive to Wang Family Mansion and Zhangbi Ancient Castle.

Wang Family Mansion is nicknamed ‘the Forbidden City of the Peasant Residences’. Its construction took nearly over 300 years by the efforts of several generations of the Wang family. You can imagine how large and prosperous the Wang Family was in its prime. Its architecture and decorations reflected the sense of strict social hierarchy in ancient time. Those intricate carvings and statues all have special meanings and stories behind them.
