Children are free of charge, and people over 60 are also free of charge. The round-trip cable car is 50 yuan. We caught up with the heavy rain, and the scenic spot gave us raincoats. We passed directly without ticket inspection. It is a responsible scenic spot.
For city kids, the desert is still fun. The projects inside are very good, but the queue time is a bit long and it rained heavily in the desert. Otherwise, we could have played for a while longer, so we were forced to close the business.

I entered the scenic area from the South Gate and left from the South Gate after using various means of transportation. I bought a pass, but didn't have time to see the Aobao meeting. The whole journey took about four hours, which is highly recommended.
The scenery is super beautiful, the air is super good, very cool, you can ride a horse to feel the summer wind and let yourself go. It is worth a visit, eat the meat of the hand, drink milk tea, it is a worthwhile trip,

Accompanying my parents to visit Yanmen Pass, the profound sense of history washed over us as we stepped into the scenic area. Climbing the majestic gate tower, we looked out over the vast expanse of mountains and the winding Great Wall.
The overall attraction isn't large. The Great Wall is beautifully constructed, but the cultural attractions need improvement, and the historical depth is lacking. The scenery is beautiful, and parking is very convenient.
The cultural street offers a wide variety of snacks, and the prices are very reasonable compared to other attractions, especially compared to the Wutai Mountain Scenic Area.
Overall, it's highly recommended. The tour takes about two hours, a moderate amount of time.

It was a very shocking performance, loved by both adults and children. It allowed us to understand Mongolian culture and the importance of horses to the Mongolians. The actors all had unique skills and the horses were very cooperative, especially the many young actors, whose horsemanship was amazing and very impressive.
Transportation:
We drove from Dazhao Temple to the Eternal Horse Song, about a 40-minute drive. If you arrive in Hohhot early on your first day, you can see the 3:00 PM or 8:00 PM performance and visit the Chi Le Chuan Grassland.
Or, on your last day, explore the city first, then see the 3:00 PM performance, visit the Chi Le Chuan Grassland, and then head to the airport, which is about a 20-minute drive.
Performance:
Based on Mongolian history and culture, this performance tells the story of a herder's son and his lifelong companionship with horses, showcasing the spirit and culture of this nomadic people.
The performance is narrative, at times grand and sometimes heartwarming. It might be a little difficult for children to sit still, as there are many gentle moments in the story that may be a bit dull for younger viewers. The entire story is 70 minutes long, and the introduction to various horse breeds takes 5-10 minutes.
If you want to experience Mongolian history and culture, this is a recommended visit.
If you want to buy a ticket, buy the 480 yuan ticket for a better experience.

Because Dai Wangfu is newly built, the building itself is grand but lacks details, but it is very well integrated with the performance. We entered at 7:50 pm and caught the palace flame show at 20:00, which was very exciting, especially the final iron flower, which was particularly shocking combined with the Chengyun Hall under the lights. We were also lucky enough to catch the drone show. Basically, seeing the world of Datong, watching the palace flame show, and the drone show was worth the price. The ticket price was 97 for an adult and 65 for a child, compared with the excitement of the performance, the cost performance was still very good, and it was a very fulfilling night!
The summer ticket gives you unlimited entry for three days. There are performances in every courtyard. The iron flower show is spectacular and the best. The world of harmony goes from the first to the fourth courtyard, but the transition is a bit confusing. I watched the palace show on the 12th, which happened to coincide with the first day of the drone show on the 13th. I decided to go up the wall of the Dai Palace to watch it. There were few people and the view was unobstructed. I was very satisfied.

We walked a large loop. The scenery was absolutely stunning. 😍😍😍 Just buy the entrance ticket. The other attractions weren't that interesting; they're the same all over the country. We wandered around, stopping to take pictures whenever we saw something beautiful. It was absolutely stunning. Just follow the large loop back out! !!!
It’s so beautiful here, the mountains are beautiful, the grassland scenery is super beautiful, and there is a colorful feeling of driving from a distance. There are very good tent families along the way, which is very pleasant. I didn’t develop much, so I’m not famous. It can be comparable to the sky grassland in Xinjiang. It is highly recommended!

Datong Museum is one of a group of cultural and art museums built in the south of Datong Municipal Government in the new district in recent years. It is adjacent to Datong Art Museum, Datong Theatre and Datong Library. The exterior design of the museum building is relatively modern, and the internal space is relatively large. Mainly the classification is displayed and introduced to the historical and cultural development process of Datong. The collection is rich, interesting and knowledgeable. Transportation is also more convenient.
💎 The Core Value of the Museum's Treasures
The treasures of Datong Museum share a common theme of "ethnic integration":
• Northern Wei Dynasty artifacts: These showcase the assimilation of Central Plains culture, Buddhist art, and Western Region technology by the nomadic Xianbei during their Sinicization (e.g., Confucian themes on lacquer screens and Western Asian craftsmanship in glassware).
• Liao, Jin, and Yuan Dynasty artifacts: These reveal how ethnic groups like the Khitan and Jurchen, after ruling the Central Plains, preserved their own customs while promoting multiethnic cultural coexistence (e.g., the coexistence of nomadism and farming in Liao tomb murals and the totemic evolution of the Chiwen).
• Historical Status: Datong's role as the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the "melting pot" of ethnic groups during the Liao and Jin dynasties serves as a tangible key to understanding the process of multicultural integration in Chinese civilization.

I went to Kangbashi Museum some time ago, and it was really amazing! As soon as I walked to the front of the museum, I was attracted by the unique architectural shape, which looked like a rock that had been polished by time and had a special sense of history. After entering, the various exhibits were dazzling. There were ancient bronzes, exquisite ceramics, and precious calligraphy and paintings. Listening to the story behind these exhibits introduced by the guide, it was as if I traveled through time and space, and personally experienced the long history and splendid culture of Ordos. I felt very rewarding. I sincerely recommend everyone to go and have a look!
The exhibition design is very attentive, divided according to the natural development context, the visiting route is clear, the transition is natural, and it is not tiring to visit. The lighting and sound effects are also amazing. In the simulated tropical rainforest exhibition area, the lighting is combined with the sound of birds and wind, as if you are in the depths of the rainforest.

The value for money is incredibly poor! For a national forest park, they charge a whopping 70 yuan for admission! Why 70? Because it's 40 yuan for the entrance fee, and 30 yuan for the bus ticket, which you absolutely have to buy! The hike up the mountain is so long! It's totally unreasonable! I never saw anyone not buying one! And you have to get a paper ticket! What a waste of time! It's a pollution! The line for the bus was incredibly long! The line alone took an hour! It was raining heavily, and within five minutes of getting off the bus, we were already running off to wait for the bus back! The management at the attraction is terrible! They didn't care about people who cut in line! They didn't even actively arrange a bus to pick us up! We were freezing waiting for so long! The scenery was beautiful, but I didn't have time to enjoy it. It was beautiful, but the price felt high! Thankfully, Ctrip is working on resolving the issue! Traveling with a big platform is still the best choice 👍
The scenery is charming, the scenic area is well managed, the service is very good, the shuttle bus runs frequently and stops at any time. The key point is that there is no secondary consumption except selling drinks and grilled sausages. Don't go to the Red Stone Cliff next to it (belongs to Ulanqab). The grassland inside is surrounded by a lot, and it is full of secondary consumption for riding horses and driving off-road vehicles.
