Datong Nine Dragon Wall is currently one of the only three Nine Dragon Walls in China, and it is the oldest

Datong Nine Dragon Wall is currently one of the only three Nine Dragon Walls in China, and it is the oldest and largest. ● Nine Dragon Wall: 8 meters high, 2.02 meters thick, 45.5 meters long. The nine dragons on the wall each have their own form, which is extremely watchable. The dragon in the middle is the center of the nine dragons, with its dragon head forward and its tail swinging, its yellow scales shimmering. The two dragons on either side of the main dragon are symmetrical, forming a vivid picture. The gaps are filled with patterns of rocks and water grass, reflecting each other, setting off. The sun and moon patterns on both sides are made up of 426 specially made colored glaze components, covered with glazed tiles on the top of the wall, and supported by glazed arches underneath. The base of the wall is a Xumi seat, 2.09 meters high, solid and luxurious, with 41 groups of two dragons playing with pearls carved on it. The waist is made up of 75 glazed bricks, with images of animals such as cows, horses, rice, dogs, deer, rabbits, etc., lively and colorful. The overall Nine Dragon Wall is coordinated, proportionate, and the style is simple and steady. ● Morning view: Every time the morning sun rises, the golden light is everywhere, and the Nine Dragon Wall is coated with a dazzling brilliance. The giant dragon seems to break through the fog and start swimming. As the morning fog dissipates, the nine dragons become more colorful, and the golden light shines on the dragon's body. The dragon shakes its body, raises its head and swings its tail, twists and turns, rolls on the waves, passes through the flowing clouds, as if the real dragon reappears.
