Comment by Haiming Yan on July 11, 2012 at 11:16pm: @Vincent: one problem was people's lack of aesthetic sense about a historic complex

Comment by Vincent L Michael on July 11, 2012 at 5:27pm: One of the big challenges are new constructions that support the historic architecture but also threaten to supplant it. Pingyao needs more examples like the GHF restorations that demonstrate how existing historic buildings can be used for offices, homes, hotels and so forth. Otherwise people will just keep building "fake antiques"
