Founded in 2001, the China Pingyao International Photography Festival is the mainland's largest photo exhibition. The city of Pingyao in Shanxi Province, formerly an ancient capital established 3000 years ago, is the only Chinese Han nationality ancient city listed as a World Cultural Heritage site. Now, thanks to the festival, it has become a pilgrimage site for photographers from around the world.
始自 2001 年的「平遙國際攝影節」，是中國最具規模的攝影展，藉著它，建都 3,000 年、全球唯一一座列入世界文化遺產的漢民族古城──山西平遙，成了全球攝影者的朝聖之地。
