Pingyao - Day 2

Had a pleasant breakfast at the hostel and then headed out to the government building. We had tried to go the day before, but we felt there were to many Chinese tourists groups with blaring megaphones for us. On our way there, we decided to go the newspaper museum, which was on the way. It wasn't particularly interesting. The government building was already swarming even at this point early in the morning. We got inside the complex shortly before ten and saw that they had a performance at ten. The performance was very lame and all in Chinese, so we decided to look at the rest of the complex. The complex contained what is apparently the only surviving prison from the Qing era. It was in use until the 1960s.
