Datong is a city with a long history and profound cultural heritage in Shanxi Province. There are many specialties worth tasting here.
The first is Datong noodles, whether they are shaved noodles, assorted noodles or ordinary noodles, they are all very fragrant and glutinous.
The second is mutton soup. Due to the cold climate here, locals like to drink this hot soup, which contains mutton, noodles and various seasonings. It is very delicious.
Finally, we recommend grilled buns. These buns have a variety of fillings, such as bean paste, meat fillings, leeks and fennel. The wonderful combination of these fillings and meat makes the grilled buns particularly delicious.
In addition, Datong also has some very local snacks.
For example, horse meat noodles are soft handmade noodles, cooked with pickles, sesame oil, and chili peppers, cut into small pieces and served in a bowl, and paired with grilled horse meat. It is very delicious.
There is also Panlong Fish Soup, which is a traditional soup dish in Datong. The main ingredient is Panlong Fish, with fungus, day lily, eggs, plus mung bean sprouts and chopped green onions. The fresh taste is endless.
Finally, there are some very unique snack bars in Datong, such as crock pot cooking, soy noodles, cold noodles, and dry pot. The snacks in these small stores are very affordable and taste excellent.
If you come to Datong, be sure to find time to taste these delicacies. I believe you will be deeply impressed by the food in this city.
