General presentation
Pingliang et mont Kongtong
Taoist mountain, temples and Jing Valley make up a green stage east of Gansu.
Pingliang Museum, Pingliang River Jing and Pingliang City give the most telling landmarks of Pingliang and Kongtong Mountain. Together, they form a destination where urban life, mountain reliefs and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Museum
Musée de Pingliang
The museum presents regional archaeology and history of the eastern corridor of Gansu. Collections and remains take time to exceed a mere photographic stop; reserving a sufficient beach helps to understand their regional historical context.
River
Rivière Jing à Pingliang
The river crosses the urban valley before reaching Wei further east. Season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; it is also necessary to respect the fragile banks and any local restrictions.
Place indismissible
Ville de Pingliang
The city occupies a narrow agricultural basin between the Loess plateau and Kongtong. An early-day visit makes it possible to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
