During the period 1800-1900, Pingyao was the financial center of China, when 22 of 51 companies from China to exchange and money transfer took Pingyao as their headquarters. The main avenue of the city under the Ming and Qing, currently a street in 440 meters long, named the "Wall Street" of Asia in the nineteenth century. At this time, Pingyao was honored with the name of "Little Beijing".
