Datong Travel Tips

 

Datong was originally the capital of Beiwei (AD 386~534) and the 'support capital' of Liao (AD 916~1125) and Jin (AD 1115~1234). As the political and economic center, many temples, pagodas and Buddhism related buildings were set up in Datong during these periods.

 

 

Furthermore, as one of the twenty-four famous historical cities in China, Datong is known for its abundant historical relics and natural beauty. Unlike the pretty and elegant scene in cities south of China, sceneries in Datong boast the character of majesty and grandeur.
