Travel through a thousand years! Experience the beauty of history with your kids in Datong!!

Parents, I recently took my kids on a road trip to Datong and it was a great experience. I'm sharing my experience today. We rented a car from 🐬 in Beijing and drove along the highway for about 3 hours to Datong. My child was very excited along the way, looking at the scenery outside the window. The trip went smoothly. Datong is really a treasure city with a rich history. We went to the Yungang Grottoes. The Buddha statues there are really amazing. Each one has its own story. Although my child is young, he was deeply attracted and kept asking questions curiously. I also told him about the history of the grottoes. I feel that my child's interest in history has been ignited. The next day, we went to the Datong Ancient City Wall. Standing on the city wall, looking at the quaint buildings, it was like traveling through time. My child especially liked climbing up and down, having a great time. There are also many delicious foods in the ancient city, such as mutton hotpot and sliced noodles, each of which is super authentic. My child was very happy eating them. Not only did my child have a great time on this road trip, but I also felt very fulfilled. The attractions in Datong are not big, which is very suitable for taking children to stroll around slowly without worrying about them getting too tired. Moreover, accommodation is convenient and the price is very reasonable. In short, Datong is a very suitable city for road trips with children. The transportation is convenient, the attractions are fun, and there are many delicious foods. I will come again next time. Parents can also try it. I believe your children will love it. Renting a car is also very convenient. I have been using Trip.com Car Rental and I feel very safe. #
