Pingyao county in North China's Shanxi province will create a cultural heritage area, an all-for-one tourism innovation area, an industrial transformation area, a pioneer area for rural revitalization and a central city area during its construction of an international tourism city during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), according to the recently held 15th Pingyao People's Congress. 

Below is the development breakdown for the five areas: 

Cultural heritage area

Pingyao will insist on equal emphasis of material heritage and intangible heritage and develop the Ancient City of Pingyao into the core area to learn about the history and culture of Shanxi merchants. The ancient city will also boast an ancient architectural art exhibition park and become a prime example of ancient cities of the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. 

All-for-one tourism innovation area

As a national-level tourism demonstration zone for all-for-one tourism, Pingyao will integrate urban and rural development, improve the quality of scenic spots and attractions, promote online and offline marketing, hold festivals and exhibitions, and enhance domestic and overseas publicity. 

Industrial transformation area

Pingyao will optimize and adjust its economic structure and promote sustainable economic development by further modernizing agriculture, accelerating new industrialization and developing new businesses in the tourism sector. The goal is to build an industrial transformation area.

Rural revitalization pioneer area

Pingyao will focus on industrial agglomeration, urban and suburban integration, the coordinated development of cultural and tourism resources and healthcare services to revitalize rural areas. In addition, it will promote the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary sectors of the economy, introduce more talents, encourage rural entrepreneurship and innovation and deepen the reform of rural property rights. 

Central city area

Pingyao will develop itself into a commercial and logistics distribution hub, a tourism hub for the culture of Shanxi merchants, a hub for festivals, exhibitions, conventions and performances, as well as a hub for East-West cultural exchanges.
