Pingyao Ancient City 平遥古城 is a walled city in Shanxi, China, famed for its importance in Chinese economic history and for its well-preserved Ming and Qing urban planning and architecture.

Pingyao served as the financial center of the entire Qing Empire. During those times, the city had more than half of the financial institutions in the whole country. In 1986, China designated Pingyao as one of the Chinese Historical and Cultural Cities.
