Shiguang Yunshu Homestay was such a delightful surprise! The moment I stepped into the lobby, I was struck by the antique decor - wooden lattices paired with warm lighting, and even the corridor ornaments exude Chinese aesthetics. Every corner is Instagram-worthy for photos! 📸 The best part is its prime location! Right outside is the Kuixing Tower, just a 3-minute walk to the ancient city walls. Watching the colorful lights from the walls at night is absolutely breathtaking! ✨ Daiwang Palace, Sipailou, and Nine-Dragon Wall are all nearby - no need for taxis when exploring and eating around, truly a blessing for lazy travelers! Must give huge props to the front desk guy! During check-in, he proactively recommended local attractions and even shared insider tips on which knife-shaved noodle shops locals frequent. He also helped us book wall tickets - detail-oriented service at its finest! The room cleanliness was impeccable too, with bedding so soft I didn't want to get up~ Stayed for three days and didn't want to leave! Will definitely stay here again on my next Datong trip. Ancient city wanderers - just book this place without hesitation! ✅

Northern Wei/Liao Jin period ancient architecture. When you quietly observe, you can understand the so-called 'a thousand years at a glance' and why it is said that even the ruins and ashes after decay and weathering have a soul. It's no wonder they say 'to see the cultural relics on the ground, go to Shanxi.' It's very impressive! Photos just can't capture the feeling of the real thing. If you have the chance, you must see it with your own eyes. I strongly suggest traveling off-peak. Otherwise, the crowds can make you very irritable and the experience will be less enjoyable.
