Have you ever seen the ancient city of Datong under the sunset with its lights just coming on?

People who love to travel have a soul that cannot be placed anywhere else. In Datong, you can find the grand story of Hua Mulan joining the army in place of her father, and see the heroic stories of women who were not inferior to men. When traveling in Datong, I happened to encounter a performance inside the ancient city wall, and only then did I realize that Datong also has a deep connection with Hua Mulan. There are performances inside the ancient city wall of Datong, and the schedule depends on the specific arrangements of the day. They are all costume dramas, and the effects are quite impressive and shocking. I don't know if there are performances on regular days. The current scale of the ancient city of Datong must have taken a lot of effort to manage, and this deserves a big thumbs up. The streets are cleaner than before. When visiting Datong, it's best to go to Hengshan first, and then the Hanging Temple. If time permits, you can visit Hunyuan County. If you are short on time and want to visit both Hengshan and the Hanging Temple in one day, it's best to book a one-day tour on Ctrip. It's very convenient, hassle-free, and allows you to visit the most attractions within the limited time in Datong, Shanxi. It's very cost-effective.
