Pingshan old Town in Huizhou has gone through thousands of years since it was built in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. For thousands of years, this ancient city bears the historical memory of the social and economic changes of Huidong County and is the bond of nostalgia in the hearts of many people in Huidong. Today, many ancient lanes and streets in the old town still retain their former historical features, showing their historical charm.

据史料记载，惠州平山老城“肇始隋唐，肆成两宋，商荣明清”。千百年来，这座古老的城邑经历了从驿站到墟镇的沧桑流变，承载着惠东县城社会经济变迁的历史记忆，是众多惠东百姓心中的乡愁纽带。如今平山老城内不少古巷老街仍保留着昔日历史风貌——南门巷、十三巷等巷道街区古建古迹众多，彰显历史韵味。
