They tell us that we have to get off the train, what a laugh, the conductor sends us one way, then the other, the whole train looking at us... a picture. 12 hours drive.

Pingyao is a walled city of about forty thousand inhabitants. We take a tuk tuk (which almost overturned) and look for accommodation. We are offered a drink while we wait for the room, it is not very good and it smells a little bit of pipe. We rest for a couple of hours and go out to take our pulse in the city.
