Beijing Departure | Datong Three-Day Two-Night Travel Guide

This year's goal is to travel 12 times, with the second stop: Datong 🎈DAY1 Yungang Grottoes - Zini 369 - Datong Museum Arrived at Yungang Grottoes after nine o'clock, not too many people, you can enjoy slowly, strongly recommend that everyone must do their homework before coming or hire a guide, otherwise it's just a cursory look. Recommend the CCTV documentary 'Yungang', each episode is over 50 minutes, a total of six episodes. Caves 16-20 are the famous Tan Yao Five Caves, symbolizing the five emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Cave 20 is the famous smiling Buddha, where you need to queue for photos on the bridge. Then we went to Zini 369 for a meal, the overall taste is still good. Next is the Datong Museum, which is a national first-class museum, divided into three series of exhibition halls, with lacquer screen, Sima Jinlong's tomb stone coffin bed, Sima Jinlong's tomb glazed pottery figurine array, and Northern Wei blue glassware as the treasures of the museum. Nearby are the Datong Art Gallery, library, etc., if time permits, you can visit them together. The museum closes at four-thirty, after which we went back to the hotel to rest. At about seven, we went to the Northern Wei Family Banquet, the first time tasting cold mixed daylily, delicious 🎈DAY2 Hanging Temple - Yingxian Wooden Pagoda Arrived at the Hanging Temple around eight-thirty, which is also part of the Hengshan scenic area, and the temperature is lower than that of the city. To climb the Hanging Temple, you need to buy an additional ticket. 'Xuan' comes from Taoism in China, 'Kong' comes from Buddhism, 'Xuan' is homophonic with 'Hanging', hence the name 'Hanging Temple'. It is a unique temple where Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism converge. Next to it is Hengshan, which you can visit together. Then we went to the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, which is a pure wooden structure without nails or rivets, a miracle in the history of wooden architecture in China and the world. Currently, climbing the pagoda is not allowed, only the first floor is accessible. There is also a Pure Land Temple nearby, but we didn't go there due to road construction. Returned to the city around four, bought sea buckthorn ice bread, sour and sweet. Then back to the hotel to rest. It's a pity not to eat a bowl of sliced noodles when in Datong, so we went to the Baisheng Shopping Center Xijin Dao store in the evening, the sliced noodles were really delicious, and Yanggao apricot peel water was also good. 🎈DAY3 Datong Ancient City changed to Wanda Plaza for shopping and eating The last day was planned for Datong Ancient City, but it rained, and since the rain didn't stop at noon, we went to Wanda Plaza, Shanhuajian milk tea is very good, and finally had the live shrimp chicken wing pot at Monkey Mountain. Then return trip. 🍜Zini 369, Northern Wei Family Banquet, Fenglinge and other dishes are more or less the same 👔Sweater, sweatshirt plus coat, slightly colder than Beijing 🚗Taxis in the city are also relatively cheap, Hanging Temple, Yingxian Wooden Pagoda are far away, arrange a carpool in advance
