Travel, leave all unhappy things on the road, and when you come back, only you are happy.
1 preface
I had the idea of going to Datong temporarily. I owe my best friend a trip, and her time is only on weekends, so I want to choose a city near Tianjin where I can play for two days. The surrounding screening is set in Datong. I've always wanted to visit the Mogao Grottoes, so Yungang Grottoes is a must. The tour route was finalized half a month before departure, and round-trip air tickets and hotels were booked on Ctrip. Because I love going out to play, making plans and strategies is my strong point. In fact, I also want to be the shopkeeper of cutting, but these bad friends are lazy and I love to worry, so I am fully responsible. )
Datong, called Yunzhong and Pingcheng in ancient times, was once the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Liao and Jin were the capitals. There are many historical sites in the territory, including Yungang Grottoes, Huayan Temple, Shanhua Temple, Hengshan Hanging Temple and Jiulong Wall. This time, we will tell the story on the road in the order of our play. There are indeed many advantages to traveling in the wrong peak on National Day, and there are few people in the scenic spots. Although there have been several autumn rains, which are unbearable, we still travel smartly.

The first day's trip was a bit full. I slept all the way and arrived at Datong Railway Station at half past six in the morning. The hotel I booked is next to the railway station. Put my backpack away and bring the necessary things. Ctrip booked a carpool to pick us up at the hotel. Master Fan is a local taxi driver. Besides me and my best friend, there is also a couple who travel together, Tangshan people. Because they booked the route of Tulin, we followed. To tell the truth, 40 yuan tickets are not cost-effective, and the effect of different worlds on the Internet has never come out. Weathered mounds and pillars, grain were taken away, and chrysanthemums were defeated, leaving only reeds and a bit of literary flavor.
After an hour or so, there are only four tourists in the whole scenic spot. It was a little deserted when the photo was taken. The weather is not bad, and there is no forecast for sleet. We ran around in the reeds, feeling the emptiness and sadness of the loess land, or bleak.
3 Aviation Temple
Hangkong Temple is located between the cliffs of Cuiping Peak on the west side of Jinlong Gorge in Hunyuan Hengshan, Datong City, Shanxi Province. Known as the slang of "Hanging Temple, half a day high, three ponytails hanging in the air", it is famous for its precipitousness. Built in the late Northern Wei Dynasty 1400 years ago, it is the only unique temple in China that integrates Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Standing in front of the scenic spot, looking from a distance, I saw the fairy palace in the sacred building, hanging in danger, Dan Gallery and Zhu Hu flying over the cliff. We are all impressed by the wisdom of ancient craftsmen. Climb the temple, drill the skylight, cross the grottoes, cross the plank road and walk the promenade, as if you were in a fairyland. With infinite emotion, we ended our trip to the Aviation Temple and went to Hengshan.
4 Hengshan Mountain
Needless to say, this trip to Hengshan left me with the greatest regret. After leaving the Hanging Temple, I drove to the foot of Hengshan Mountain in less than half an hour. In the past, taxis could drive directly halfway up the mountain, but the road up the mountain was closed because of road construction, so I had to take the cable car. The young couple in the same trade said nothing. The girlfriends together are people who don't like to go out, so they give up the idea of going up the mountain. I really want to go to Hengshan. I have been to Xiyue Mountain and Dongyue Mountain before, and I want to take a trip to Beiyue Mountain, and then climb to the top of Wuyue Mountain one after another. It happened that I was the only one left, and no one accompanied me. I couldn't let go of my regrets, but I didn't go up in the end. I lingered at the foot of the mountain for a while. I watched the top of the mountain covered with dark clouds or clouds until it rained, thinking that I was going to give up completely. The driver took us to hun yuan's wife's Hunyuan bean jelly shop and ate some special snacks such as bean jelly. I think bean jelly is good, but the others are just so-so.
5 Ancient City Scenic Area
It's less than three o'clock from Hengshan to Datong. As it was still early, the driver put us at the east gate of the ancient city. My little friend and I rented bicycles to ride in the ancient city for half a week. After shopping for a while, we went straight to Huayan Temple. After coming out of Huayan Temple, we strolled on the commercial street of the ancient city and actually visited Fenglin Pavilion. This is a legendary meal that will line up after lunch. It is said that the decoration is as high as 200 million, which is very luxurious. After going in, sure enough. After receiving the rice number, I went to the Guandi Temple, Jiulongbi, Sipaifang and other Datong punch-in attractions, strolled slowly until 6: 30, and began to return to Fenglinge for dinner, which really deserved my reputation. I don't eat until about 8: 30.
We ordered steamed dumplings with a hundred flowers in Fenglinge, preserved gourd shreds, and the famous mutton offal soup and Daoxiao Noodles in Datong. When all the dishes were served on the table, it was really pleasing to the eye, but the taste was average, not as delicious as the legend, and a little exaggerated, but it still didn't stop the popularity of Fenglinge. After dinner, we went shopping, experienced the all-copper bathroom and returned to the hotel in the light rain.
6 Hua Shan Temple vs Yungang Grottoes
The next day's schedule is much easier, sleeping in the morning and waking up naturally. The day before, I met a local old man on the road and told us that we must go to Shanhua Temple when we came to Datong, otherwise we would come for nothing, so we went to Shanhua Temple before lunch. Surprisingly few tourists, antique buildings, fresh after the rain, let you get a photo that can be used as a desktop, pavilions, flowers, waterside pavilions, that kind of silence will calm your heart.
After coming out of Shanhua Temple, I went to the coarse grain shop in front of the Drum Tower and had a delicious meal. The yellow rice cake is super delicious, especially the sauce, which is sour and sweet, refreshing and appetizing. I made a ride to Yungang during my lunch break, and I will arrive at about two o'clock. There are few tourists at this time. We ask for an explanation. We are handsome little brothers. Looking down all the way, I think if I don't explain, I can only watch the fun at most. The historical background behind great art is impossible without doing your homework. It is precisely because we have done very little homework that we can only find professionals to explain it, and with interesting people, it is wonderful. At about four o'clock, the number of tourists began to increase. We were glad that we arrived early and caught the fire drill, so we stopped looking at several caves.

The two-day trip will soon be over. Datong was once a coal mine in my mind. It was dark everywhere, and there were big pits everywhere. This trip has completely changed. The greening of Datong is very good, there are trees everywhere, and people are very enthusiastic It really is a famous historical and cultural city ~!
