How much is the ticket for Datong?

Datong is located in the northernmost part of Shanxi Province. It was the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty more than 1500 years ago, with a time span of 96 years. It is one of the famous historical and cultural cities in China. Datong has been an important military town in China since ancient times, and its northern part is the activity area of some ethnic minorities beyond the Great Wall, so Datong retains some traces of the blending of Han and ethnic minorities. Today, it is the energy and heavy chemical industry base of China, especially rich in coal resources, and is called the coal capital.
