Before going to Yungang Grottoes, it is recommended to watch the documentary first, and after watching it, I feel that the cave in front of me has a sense of familiarity. It is recommended to avoid the tour group army early. Each cave has different maintenance times, and it is recommended to pay attention to official news.

Xuankong Temple

Best Things to Do

绿箩🪴

It is not interesting to go in without buying a ticket to the hanging temple. The parking lot is also very far away and it is very inconvenient to take a car in the scenic spot. The parking lot is still relatively large, and the food in the scenic spot is very cheap. It is not as expensive as other scenic spots.

The ancient city wall of Datong is one of the more complete ancient city buildings in China, and its historical vein and architectural characteristics are deeply imprinted with the majestic temperament of the northern military town, and also contains the historical genes of the northern Wei Pingcheng.

Heng Shan Mountain

Book now for today

Mountain climbing

If you want to climb the top, the queue is too long for more than an hour, not worth it. The scenic spot should let tourists experience nature firsthand, not queue. For example, the design of the studio lets tourists know the length of the queue, so that tourists can choose.

Datong Museum

Museums

The teacher explained very well. The Datong City Museum is really interesting than many museum exhibitions. The aesthetics are online and the art is stronger. The lighting is just right. The display method like platoon is very shocking. I saw the small blue bottle of Beiwei. Datong is a good place.
