Friends who want to go to Datong have seen it. First of all, Datong is more suitable for Peking man's self-help tour for the following reasons:
1. The cost is relatively cheap, especially for accommodation, food and transportation, even during the Golden Week.
2. Datong is more convenient to take the bus, there is basically no traffic jam, and there are seats on the bus. The main scenic spots in the city can be reached directly by bus.
3. Datong is close to Beijing, so you can leave later in the Golden Week to avoid the crowd; Besides, train tickets and bus tickets are easily available.
Hanging Temple must go! ! ! Tickets are 60/ person, and the driver on the bus said he could take us in, which can be 45/ person. I didn't agree. Reason: (1) No ticket, lost the only souvenir; (2) Hanging Temple is a two-time ticket checking system. You must check the tickets before entering the gates and temples. It's really troublesome to have no tickets. After entering the gate, the right hand is a suspension bridge, and crossing the bridge is the Hanging Temple. Don't turn right, go directly to Xu Xiake's memorial pavilion and take a panoramic photo with the Hanging Temple. There is also a stone that is said to be written by Li Bai. Don't miss it. In order to protect the cultural relics of the Hanging Temple, there are restrictions on the number of people entering the temple every time. Only the front leaves can be put in the back. So after crossing the suspension bridge, we will start to prepare for the queue. We waited for more than 30 minutes before entering the Hanging Temple. When you go in, you often have to wait patiently because the road is rugged and narrow. Don't go if you are in a hurry, hehe. However, patience pays off, and the Hanging Temple is really worth it! ! ! Its introduction is everywhere on the internet, and I only say my personal feelings. There is a cliff on one side and a cliff on the other. Walking on the road only half a meter wide, the railing on the cliff side is only as high as the calf, and my heart is really shaky. The other is to marvel at the wisdom and piety of the ancients. The whole temple is supported on the precipice by a few pieces of wood, which has not fallen down for nearly a thousand years. Isn't this a "fantasy"? After staying in the temple for 1 hour, I went down the mountain the same way. There is a dragon head cave before going down the mountain, 10/ person. It is said that you can see the reservoir and the main peak of Mount Hengshan, so you are determined not to go, hehe. There is a famous Hunyuan cold rice noodles at the door, 2/ bowl. I ate 2 bowls in one breath, delicious! Don't miss it, everyone.
Mount Hengshan, drifting over ~ ~ ~ Although it's close at hand, I'm determined not to go to Mount Hengshan. As the saying goes, "Mount Heng is like a walk", which is not as steep as Huashan, as solemn as Mount Tai and as beautiful as Huangshan. Friends who have been to these mountains will float across Mount Heng. It used to be difficult for sea water to touch water.
It's a bit expensive to charter a car down the hill to Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, 90/ 2 people, and one * * * is 60 kilometers, but I didn't wait for the long-distance bus at noon, so I had to charter a car to save time. It takes about 50 minutes to reach the Cultural Street at the entrance of the wooden tower, take a panoramic photo of the wooden tower, and then enter the tower. Tickets are 60/ person, which is a bit expensive compared with the hanging temple ~ ~ ~ Note that fireworks are strictly prohibited in the wooden tower. Smoking brothers put away lighters and so on. The wooden tower has five floors, three of which are open, but the first and third floors are actually open. The steps are steep enough. Be careful. The interior of the wooden tower is particularly comfortable, cool and breezy, and the faint smell of wood makes me relaxed and happy. The wooden pagoda has a history of more than 900 years, and the whole pagoda is made of wood. It is a miracle that it can be preserved (avoiding earthquakes, fires, wars, lightning, cultural revolution and other disasters). At present, some friends who have never been to the East are leaning, so hurry up. It's hard to say whether they will still be alive in five years.
Leave the wooden tower, ride a motorcycle to the long-distance bus station (1person), buy a ticket and return to Datong (17/ person). Long-distance buses still stop at any time and attract customers everywhere, just like ordinary citizens in Beijing. Wandering around 1 hour, not going to the county seat! ! ! If you are impatient, charter a car. Woke up and found himself still wandering. It has been 2.5 hours since I arrived in Datong. Stay in a hotel (news hotel, on Xinkai West Road, convenient transportation, clean room, no harassing calls at night, recommended! ), go out and take a taxi to Kowloon Wall. This is the only mistake I made in Datong! ! ! Everyone should learn a lesson! ! ) The taxi fare to Jiulongbi is 8 yuan. While paying, I asked the driver if there was a restaurant nearby. The driver gave me "warm" advice, and I didn't pass the money until I heard him finish. At this time, the meter has jumped to 10 yuan, and the driver has confidently collected 10 yuan! ! ! My companion tried to argue with the driver, but I stopped him. A strong dragon cannot crush a local strongman. Forget it. 2 yuan will teach you a lesson. Later, when I took a taxi in Datong, I found that no driver would lift the meter, so the driver charged according to the number of the meter when you put the money in his hand, so you must pay the money quickly until you have something to say. In addition, as I said at the beginning, all the scenic spots in Datong have direct buses, which are almost as fast as taxis. Later, I found that there was a bus in front of my news hotel, which went straight to Jiulong Wall and Yungang Grottoes. . .
Kowloon wall, just so-so. 10/ person, friends who have been to Beihai should not go, except that the size is relatively large and the color is not as bright as Beihai. Two blocks away from the Kowloon Wall is the Drum Tower in Datong, and further west is the Upper and Lower Huayan Temple. Friends who have been to the reclining Buddha temple will float over!
Yungang Grottoes must go! ! ! ! The next day, walk 2 minutes from the hotel, take the 3-2 road at the intersection, and 1.5/ person goes directly to Yungang Grottoes. The time is 50 minutes. Yungang Grottoes opened at 8: 30. We arrived at 8: 00, took some photos at the door and waited. Wait until 8: 30, buy tickets, 60/ person. Go to Caves 5 and 6 first, because the essence of the whole grottoes is steep in Caves 5 and 6, and the colors and sculptures are best preserved. Then go west to holes 7, 8 and 9. 10. . . All the way to cave 45. The largest Buddha statue is made according to the appearance of the Northern Wei Emperor. Hehe, it's still cool for the emperor. There are few tourists in the morning, so take photos quickly. Finally, I went to the 1 ~ 4 hole when I was free. It's so poorly preserved that I can hardly see it. Finally, at 9: 30, a tour guide group finally appeared. We followed the tour guide around several important caves and listened to the explanation, which was very fulfilling. Before I left, I couldn't help but buy a picture book of the grottoes, 120/ book, and I vomited blood. . . Speaking of personal feelings, I have to compare Yungang Grottoes with Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. In terms of scale and history, the two are actually comparable, but in terms of preservation, the Mogao Grottoes are too strong! Murals and Buddha statues are closed with railings or darkrooms, and tourists are strictly forbidden to take pictures; As for Yungang Grottoes, except for Caves 5 and 6, the murals are colorless, and the Buddha statues are basically open-air, so visitors can take photos and touch them at will; The album I bought was shot by 1999, and some of the Buddha statues and murals in it have been lost, collapsed or destroyed. Alas, in 10, Yungang Grottoes will no longer exist.
After leaving Yungang Grottoes, we went to Laodatong Restaurant for lunch. The head office of Xinkai Road closed down, so we went to the Laodatong restaurant branch in Taifu Building. Note that many dishes here can be ordered in half. Suggest the boss to eat oily meat, roasted sea cucumber with onion, cumin beef skewers, and oat noodle and potato pieces. Corruption, even drinking * * * cost 83 yuan, much happier than Beijing, hehe, I went back to Beijing after eating and drinking.
From Datong to Beijing, both trains and cars can be used. When I came back, I took the bus, 100 people, and arrived in Beijing in 4 hours. We watched two bad Hong Kong movies on the bus. It is nearly half faster than the train.
