Yungang Grottoes
海海明威海Superb, Datong is a fusion city, I like eating and living very much, suitable for living, Yungang Grottoes are very representative, very cost-effective, I don't want to go when I come, eat well, live well, the price is not expensive!
Datong Ancient City Wall
北北冰洋见At present, you can only buy tickets from the south gate. Because there is a light show, 49 people, regardless of the big children, can go out from the east gate, or return from the south gate. I don’t want to see the light show. I can go to the west gate to go to the city wall for free. I don’t know at first, so I have walked a lot of wronged roads. I personally think that's the case for the light show, because I have seen it since I was a child, there is nothing fresh, you can take your son to see it, there are snacks on the upper floors of the city, about 1.8 kilometers, not very long, eat while walking and watching.
Xuankong Temple
__We***42A bit hard to get to with public transport bit Definitely worth a visit!
Datong Ancient City
MM95***29There is nothing wrong with the attraction itself, but the service is disappointing. Maybe we have high requirements for service. 😅 I asked if there was a toilet on the city wall. I didn't understand a word of what he said. He also asked me to go down the city gate. I didn't expect that I saw a mobile toilet after a few steps. After watching the lights, I asked how to get to the clock tower. The security guard actually pointed us in the opposite direction.
Heng Shan Mountain
MM93***88Hengshan Mountain is quite famous and is easier to climb than the other four mountains. Most people can reach the top in less than two hours. It should be noted that the tourist center and the scenic area bus are both in the county town, so you need to park your car and transfer to the scenic area bus.
Huayan Monastery
鲁鲁上银On the second day of my trip to Datong, I came to Huayan Temple. I didn't enter the door, but I knew it was a very sacred temple just outside the temple. The aura inside was even more amazing. Once I entered the temple, it was as if I had traveled through thousands of years. Huayan Temple is also a must-visit place in Datong! Unfortunately, I didn't have time to take photos during my trip. This would be a classic shooting location! I'll come again next time! Highly recommended!
Datong Museum
IIn_the_wildDatong Museum is really worth visiting. I am glad that we invited Zhang Yanxia as the tour guide. Her vivid and rich explanations gave me a very deep understanding of Datong's history. Her humorous jokes from time to time also gave me a better impression of certain history or objects. A great tour guide!
Hunyuan Ancient City
行行走毛毛A heavy snowfall changed the color of Hunxuan Ancient City. The whole ancient city was covered with white snow. The people in the ancient city were really hardworking. They organized themselves as soon as the snow stopped. I walked on the snow for a long time to sweep the snow in front of my house, feeling the flavor of this ancient city. This is also one of the few ancient cities in China with human touch. I was a little surprised that there were people living in such a dilapidated house.
Drum Tower
FffhfYesterday afternoon, it was closed due to rain, so I only took a photo in the rain by the roadside. This morning, I went there again as the first stop, but the ground was not dry after the rain. The staff patiently told me that it would be open later. I went to visit the Guandi Temple first and then came back. Finally, I got what I wanted. The Drum Tower has a long history, a unique location, and is well preserved. The staff are enthusiastic and responsible, and they are responsible for sanitation and cleaning. It is touching and I really like it.
Dai Wang Fu
MM34***58After visiting the Yungang Grottoes and strolling around the ancient city, I saw that there were performances at the Dai Wang Mansion. There were performances all day long. Both the elderly and children liked it very much. The actors of the Tianxia Datong performance were very dedicated and wonderful. The place was large and not crowded.
