Shanxi's most "popular" city in the future

The vast white snow covers mountains, ancient temples, loess, and villages, containing infinite poetry in the desolation. Winter in Shanxi has become a fairy tale world. Traveling in Shanxi in winter, you can "hear" the historical echoes of falling snowflakes, see the wonders of nature, experience the vitality of snowboarding and endless laughter and play, and enjoy the fun of hot springs, sightseeing, folk customs, and food. For winter travel, Shanxi is your ideal choice. When it comes to Shanxi, or the city tourism impressions related to it, most tourists may think of Taiyuan, Yuncheng, Linfen, etc. However, in Shanxi, in addition to the provincial capital Taiyuan, there are actually some relatively niche cities that are very popular in the future, or have huge development potential. Datong, hidden in Shanxi, is one of them. Datong City, formerly known as Yunzhong, Pingcheng, Yun, also known as China's coal capital. Datong City is located in the center of the North China region, the center of the North Shanxi Datong Basin, the junction of Shanxi, Hebei and Inner Mongolia, and the northeast of the Loess Plateau. It is the barrier of all Shanxi, the gateway to the north, and the throat of Shanxi, Hebei, and Inner Mongolia. It borders Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia across the Great Wall.
