I regret not going to Shanxi sooner; the impact of leaving Datong was too great

Datong is seriously underrated, every scene here is stunning. Follow my footsteps on a journey that spans a thousand years. ✅Datong 2-day 1-night travel itinerary Day①: Yungang Grottoes to Huayan Temple Day②: Datong Ancient City 1️⃣First stop: Yungang Grottoes The first sight is breathtaking, and each cave compels one to stop and look slowly. For those who want to take photos, caves 16-20 are the most photogenic 2️⃣Second stop: Huayan Temple Huayan Temple has a profound Buddhist cultural heritage. Standing in front of the Mahavira Hall and the Tripitaka Pavilion, one feels a sense of grandeur. Best photo spots: Jingguangming Hall and the red wall outside 🎫Ticket: 50 yuan per person ⏰Hours: 9 am to 5 pm 3️⃣Third stop: Datong Ancient City One day is not enough to explore it all, Shanhua Temple, Datong Confucian Temple, Guandi Temple, Drum Tower, Great Mosque, Heart Jiu Long Wall, and Fahua Temple are all here, so it takes two days.
