Touring Pingyao in April

In April, Pingyao usually has lots of sunny days. But as there's quite a bit of rain at the start of the month, it's better if you visit during the middle or the end of the month when the temperature is nicer.
Since April isn't a Chinese tourist holiday time, there aren't many tourists around. If you like to tour quietly with fewer people, April is really a good time. You can enjoy the sunset on the Ancient City Wall of Pingyao. At Shuanglin Temple, you can take a look at the really wonderful colored sculptures. And at night, you can go to the restaurants nearby to try Pingyao's special food, Wantuo.
