Six kilometres of Ming ramparts shaped like a turtle — 72 watchtowers, 3,000 crenellations. Start at the South Gate tower and loop at a stroll pace.
The 1823 piao hao that invented Chinese banking — counting rooms, vaults and the Huitong Tianxia motto. Inside the pass.
Sliced marinated beef with youmian kao laolao and shaojiu — a bowl of wantu to finish.
China's largest surviving county government, with actors in Qing costume staging trials at 15:30. Arrive 20 minutes early.
Climb the three-storey Golden Well Tower (¥5) straddling South Avenue, then browse the lantern-lit lanes below.
The Jin-dynasty Dacheng Hall (1163) and the only surviving imperial exam paper by a zhuangyuan.
The wall towers light up and Ming-Qing Street glows — a slow dinner of shanxi noodles at Tianyuankui (South Avenue 73).
