    On December 12, 2025, I happened to be there when Yingxian County had its first snowfall of the winter. Unfortunately, because I arrived too early and the light was too dim due to the snow, I couldn't properly appreciate the beauty of the caisson ceiling, which was a real pity. The景区 staff worked very hard, clearing and shoveling snow early in the morning. Seeing them working together for Yingxian was truly moving for me as a tourist. I will definitely come back to Yingxian again if I have the chance.

    There's no difference between seeing this tower from the outside and from the inside. There's only one tower inside, and you can only see the first floor in about ten minutes. Fifty yuan is quite expensive; the Forbidden City is only 60 yuan, and only 45 yuan in the off-season…

    This small but beautiful ancient temple offers a tranquil space to admire its wooden architecture and Buddhist murals, bringing a sense of peace to the soul. The advantage of traveling during the off-season is having ample time and freedom of choice.

    Because it wasn't peak tourist season, there were very few tourists. The entrance fee is ten yuan (if you really want to save money, you can see a rough view from the street through the railing, but I recommend going in to appreciate it more carefully). The nine dragons 🐉🐲 are incredibly lifelike, each with its own expression, color, and posture. But if you look closely, you'll find that each dragon is arranged in an "up-down-up-down..." order, perhaps telling us that the ups and downs of life are normal. If dragons are like this, how much more so are humans! I suggest taking pictures of each dragon and looking at them at your leisure, and comparing them with the Nine-Dragon Wall in Beihai Park, Beijing. It's quite an experience! One thing to note: the dragons here don't have five claws! The reason is obvious…

    During my recent trip to Shanxi, I visited several ancient cities. Although many of the ancient cities we see today are rebuilt later, Datong Ancient City does have many historical sites worth visiting! Huayan Temple, Prince Dai's Mansion, Shanhua Temple, the Nine Dragon Wall, and many others are all historical relics well worth seeing. Therefore, I suggest that you allocate more time to Datong, a city full of cultural heritage!

    It was cold, but the performers were very professional. I was deeply moved by the iron flower performance in the end. The background music was amazing, and the iron flower performance was full of sincerity. The process was well designed, and the staff were all very dedicated!

    Huayan Temple is a treasure trove of Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasty architecture still existing in China. It is also a must-see scenic spot when visiting Datong. The Buddha statues inside the temple are magnificent and exquisite, and it is well worth a visit. The only downside is that there are a lot of tourists during the summer vacation.

    Yungang Grottoes are worth a visit. However, a top-tier guided tour is a must, but if you go alone, the $380 price tag for a single guide is really too expensive. Once inside, seeing the magnificent Buddha statues and grottoes makes the trip worthwhile. The only pity is that some of the Buddha statues in the grottoes were under maintenance, so it wasn't possible to see all the statues and enter all the grottoes, preventing visitors from seeing everything in one visit. It definitely makes you want to come back again; you'll want to experience more.

    The scenery is nice and the bus is very convenient, good reviews! But the consumption level in the scenic area is a bit high, especially in some farmhouse restaurants, where two people can eat more than 100 yuan, while other places in the mountains only cost dozens of yuan.

    The tickets I booked for the children were very convenient; we entered by scanning a QR code. "Of the nine strategic passes under heaven, Yanmen Pass is the foremost," and today we are at Yanmen Pass. Just as we arrived at the entrance of the scenic area, at the wall of famous figures and the statue of the Yang family generals, the park was playing "Eternal Chang'an City," which made me feel a little sentimental.
