I suggest you go to Datong ~

Datong, formerly known as Yunzhong County and Pingcheng, is one of the nine ancient capitals in China, enjoying the reputation of "the capital of three generations and the important town of two dynasties".

It has distinct regional and cultural characteristics, especially: reasons for recommendation: there are many scenic spots, highlighting historical culture

There are many historical sites in Datong. There are Yungang Grottoes, Huayan Temple, Mount Hengshan Hanging Temple, Jiulong Wall, etc. There are several places that must be visited:

▼ 1. Datong Ancient City Wall-The night is charming

Datong Ancient City Wall is about 14 meters high, 2 meters higher than Xi 'an Ancient City Wall, 16.6 meters at its widest point and 6.6 meters wider than Nanjing Ancient City Wall at its widest point. In addition, the ancient city wall of Datong has a major feature: there is a urn outside the four gates, and there is a moon city outside the urn, which is surrounded by the urn and has a gate.

with the change of history, the ancient city wall has been damaged and built many times. In 28, TA finally restored the original site and opened it to the outside world. The restored Datong ancient city wall is magnificent, especially when the lights are on, and the night scene is particularly charming.

Therefore, the night tour of the ancient city wall is not to be missed-we are looking forward to enjoying the majestic posture of the ancient city wall under the streamer lamp.

▼2. Yungang Grottoes-the masterpiece of Buddhist artistic sculpture style

Yungang Grottoes started from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and after thousands of years of construction, it stretches for 1 km from east to west and contains 45 main caves, which is known as "the treasure house of ancient carving art in China".

It vividly records the historical track of the development of Indian and Central Asian Buddhist art to China Buddhist art..

Therefore, Yungang Grottoes are a must for Datong tourism-how can you talk about Datong without Yungang?

▼3. Huayan Temple-Encountering Venus in the East

Huayan Temple is located in the southwest corner of the ancient city of Datong. It was built in Liao, and it has a prominent position because of its nature as a royal ancestral temple in Liao country.

In this temple where there are many buddhas, the statue of the threatened bodhisattva is the most vivid and vivid, and it has the nickname of "Venus of the East".

▼4. Kowloon Wall-the most loong wall

Kowloon Wall? Isn't it in Beijing? ! Moreover, there are two (one in the Forbidden City and one in Beihai)!

However, the size of the Jiulong Wall in Datong is more than three times larger than that in Beihai, and it was built more than 35 years ago, making it the largest wall in loong.

So, it's most interesting to look at the Nine Dragons Wall in Datong and find differences.

▼5. Datong Museum-There are so many treasures in its collection

Datong was once the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so it goes without saying that its cultural accumulation. So how can the museums here ignore it?
