EDITORS COMMENTS
The City Wall at Pingyao is transformed into a mesmerizing spectacle as it illuminates the night sky to celebrate Chinese New Year. This print captures the essence of this ancient city in Shanxi province, where tradition and history come alive during this festive season. Pingyao, once a bustling merchant town and China's financial headquarters two centuries ago, still stands proudly within its 6km-long city wall that dates back 450 years to the Ming dynasty era. The wall remains completely intact, serving as a testament to the city's rich heritage. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost feel the energy and excitement that fills the air during Lunar Chinese New Year celebrations. The vibrant lights highlight every intricate detail of Pingyao's architectural marvels from both the Ming and Qing dynasties. With over 2,700 years of history preserved within its streets and houses, Pingyao has rightfully earned its place on UNESCO's World Heritage list since 1997. It serves as a living museum for visitors seeking an authentic glimpse into China's past. This awe-inspiring photograph by Andrew Wong encapsulates not only Pingyao's beauty but also its significance in Chinese culture. As you admire this print, let your imagination transport you to a time when horse-drawn carriages roamed these streets and merchants traded their goods along these historic walls.
