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.
It is still a scenic spot worth visiting, with relatively complete facilities and equipment. There are more people during the August holiday, and the queue for the cable car is longer. Other entertainment projects are okay. In short, the experience is okay. Children especially like this environment and keep digging sand. It is a good place to take children for a walk.

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,
Huanghuagou is really beautiful, especially after the rain, the scenery is even more charming. The scenic area is very large, and there are many attractions, especially the small train, which is just like in Miyazaki's cartoons. The children had a lot of fun and the experience was super great! We played together for almost 6 hours, it is a place worth visiting

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.
A majestic pass, guarding the Central Plains for over a thousand years!
As history rolls on, the gleam of swords and the clashing of drums fade. Standing atop the pass, I can still hear those screams ringing in my ears.

I came to Taiyuan for a concert and stopped by to play. The architectural design and park construction are really well done. I took my kids for a ride in the electric car and learned about many fruits and plants. It exceeded my expectations!
My favorite place.
The various venues are fantastic and highly engaging.
Suitable for children over five years old 😆😆
There are shuttle buses within the scenic area, as well as self-guided tour buses, which cost about 70 yuan per hour. (Turn right after entering)

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.

Very beautiful grassland, many projects are well organized, the children had a lot of fun, equestrian performances, flying grassland, the actors are dedicated and have superb acting skills, very exciting, the accommodation in the grassland is clean, the yurt is large and well-equipped, and the service attitude is also very good
Overall, the grassland is relatively large. There is a bonfire party at the entrance of the parking lot. Then there is a hero theater. Three games. The flying grassland is far away. You have to queue up to take the small train. In August, there are many people. The bonfire party is chaotic. It starts with the light show and the torch dance. The back is basically interactive and actors. Dancing, after a day of watching the show, I can't play a few projects.

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.
During peak season, when it's crowded, there are plenty of shows, with performances running almost every hour. There's also a fire dance and iron flower show, and a drone show, which is fantastic and definitely worth the price of admission. One ticket gives you access for three days, so I saw the fire dance and iron flower show twice. I was still amazed.

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!

I bought the Shanxi Cultural Tourism Annual Pass, which gave me free admission and 10 yuan for the guided tour. The entire venue is themed around coal, and there's a simulated mine in the back. The facilities are a bit dated, and the 5D movie screen wasn't very clear. I learned a lot, though, and it fulfilled my dream of going down a mine.
It was a very profound experience. Not only did the children learn a lot, but I also learned a lot. The explanations were very clear and I learned the basics of coal. The train going down to the mine gave me a taste of the difficulties of mining and was the perfect place for study.

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.
