A Date with Datong: Stay at Yiyan Homestay and Enjoy a Relaxing Holiday in the Autumn Breeze of the Ancient City

When the autumn breeze blows past the ancient city walls of Datong, and the wind chimes at the eaves gently ring, a tenderness hidden in history is waiting for you to receive at Yiyan Homestay. Here, there’s no need to rush your itinerary; just surrender yourself to Yiyan’s courtyard and time, and enjoy a slower pace of life.​ Stay at Yiyan: Comfort Hidden in Every Detail​ Opening the door of Yiyan Homestay, the first thing to heal is your senses: high-end toiletries are placed beside the washbasin, leaving a refreshing fragrance after your shower; the bed is dressed with five-star bedding, soft and warm like clouds under your fingertips. Even more thoughtful is the pillow selection — latex pillows with resilient support, down pillows fluffy and soft, buckwheat pillows warm and conforming. No matter your preferred sleeping position, you can sleep soundly through the night at Yiyan.​ Don’t rush to sleep when you return late at night; Yiyan’s minibar holds little surprises: imported soft drinks, sweet and sour sea buckthorn juice, refreshing coconut water, and sparkling Perrier, all free to enjoy! Open a chilled drink, lean by Yiyan’s window, and watch the ancient city’s night view—fatigue instantly melts away.​ A beautiful morning starts with Yiyan’s freshly made breakfast. It might be a golden fried soft-boiled egg paired with freshly toasted crispy bread; or local millet porridge served with crunchy pickles. Yiyan’s dedicated butler has already remembered your preferences—no cilantro, stronger coffee... These little details are precisely taken care of, filling you with energy in every bite.​ Four-Day Itinerary: Slowly Explore the Beauty of Datong​ No need to worry about planning; Yiyan has prepared this “relaxed itinerary” for you, with new surprises every day:​ 🌙 DAY 1: Night Tour of the Ancient City, Encounter Romance​ As the city lights come on, set off from Yiyan and stroll along the ancient city walls, the autumn breeze brushing your cheeks, full of comfort. First, visit Dongnanyi to browse creative shops and see handmade accessories sparkle under the lights; when night falls, the “Dreamlike Datong” firework show at Dai Prince’s Mansion starts on time — sparks bloom in the night sky, reflecting off ancient eaves, like a romantic promise across a thousand years.​ 🏯 DAY 2: Explore History and Serenity, Understand a Millennium​ The ancient city during the day is full of historical depth. Walk from Yiyan along the bluestone path to Huayan Temple, where the Liao Dynasty giant Buddha sits calmly in the hall, gazing gently; then visit Shanhuasi Temple, look up at the ridge beasts on the eaves, and listen to the wind passing through the halls; finally, enter the Datong Museum to understand the city’s past through artifacts and feel the sediment of time.​ 🗿 DAY 3: Pursue Miracles, Experience Awe​ Don’t want to drive yourself? Yiyan’s private car service is available anytime, and the driver will share stories along the way. Depart early from Yiyan to the Hanging Temple, marvel at this “temple hanging on a cliff,” and admire ancient wisdom; then visit Yong’an Zen Temple, where the murals’ colors remain vivid; pause before the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, a millennium-old wooden structure standing firm; finally, sit quietly for a moment in Jingtusi Temple and enjoy rare tranquility.​ ✨ DAY 4: Farewell and Treasures​ Set off from Yiyan at dawn to Yun Gang Grottoes for a thousand-year appointment. Standing before the giant Buddha, watch sunlight fall on the statue’s smiling face, instantly healing. Slowly finish touring the grottoes, storing the millennium-old stories in your memory, then leisurely return to Yiyan to pack and start your journey home, ending the trip full of wonderful memories.​ Yiyan’s Convenience Lies in the Details​ What we love most is Yiyan’s location — stepping out of Yiyan’s courtyard, you’re right among Liao and Jin dynasty relics and ancient city streets. During the day, you can walk to attractions; at night, when tired from exploring, just turn around and rest in Yiyan’s courtyard. No rushing, no crowds—spending a “rest whenever you want, explore whenever you want” holiday at Yiyan is true relaxation.​ With autumn in full swing, Datong’s ancient city walls are waiting for the wind, and Yiyan Homestay is waiting for you. Come to Yiyan, fall asleep under the starlight, wake up with the morning light, and live your days like a poem~
