Datong Diaoxiao Noodles

I came to Wutai Mountain for pilgrimage. Before entering the mountain, I first solved the problem of lunch. This restaurant is at the entrance of the first expressway and opposite the petrochemical gas station. It is a place where accommodation and dining are combined into one. To be honest, although I don't like Shanxi food very much, this one is still much better than the other places I ate in the scenic area.
