Located in middle of Pingyao Ancient City, Ming Qing Street preserves perfectly the culture relics of shops during Ming and Qing dynasties. It is one of the most important and most prosperous business streets of this ancient city. In this 400-meter-long street, there are 78 ancient shops such as exchange shops, pawnshops, drug stores, meat store, tobacco stores, silk shops etc.

The street is decorated in traditional Chinese architecture style. Walking on the street, you will feel back to the history. The comment from UNESCO "The palace is the miniature of ancient Chinese cities; while the ancient residence''s house is the miniature of Ancient Pingyao City" can be sunk in.
