Datong, Shanxi, has a unique guesthouse located within the ancient city

🔹Datong—one of China's nine ancient capitals, with a long history, formerly known as Yunzhong or Pingcheng, was once the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the secondary capital for the Liao and Jin Dynasties. As the imperial capital of the Northern Wei and the secondary capital for the Liao and Jin Dynasties, this key town of the Ming and Qing Dynasties seems rather low-key, but its reputation as a city beyond the Great Wall cannot be concealed. 🔸For first-time visitors to Datong, it is recommended to start with the Datong Museum, then proceed to Shanhua Temple and Huayan Temple, followed by climbing the ancient city wall, and looking forward to the nightfall to enjoy the night view of the ancient city. 🛌For the night, choose to stay in the characteristic guesthouse within the ancient city—Huazhu Mulan Pavilion Guesthouse. 🚩The guesthouse is located on the oldest street in the ancient city of Datong, Xia Si Po Street (within Huayan Temple Pedestrian Street), which has a history of over a thousand years. 🌿For centuries, Xia Si Po Street has always been a place for pilgrims and tourists to shop and stay. The street is lined with shops, bustling with merchants, and has a rich cultural atmosphere. Huayan Temple, Shanhua Temple, the Nine Dragon Screen, Drum Tower, and the main hall of Guandi Temple—five key national cultural relics protection units—are all within 1 kilometer and can be reached on foot, making it a must-visit street for tourists in Datong. 🌈The guesthouse as a whole adopts a new Chinese-style decoration to reflect the cultural charm of Datong, with appropriate shades of color. The traditional old elm furniture is simple and elegant, unique in style. The rooms are spacious and tidy, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, with tatami rooms, twin rooms, special kang bed rooms, and parent-child duplex rooms to meet the travel needs of various groups. When checking in, you will receive Shanxi's specialty apricot slices, which are very tasty😋 ⭐️Additionally, the hotel also provides business car transfers to and from the airport and station, and you can book in advance if needed. For those who drive here, free parking🅿️ is available, and the front desk staff are very patient in providing parking information. 📍Detailed address: No. 45 Huayan Temple Street, Pingcheng District, Datong 🧩Guesthouse name: Huazhu Datong Mulan Pavilion Guesthouse (Huayan Temple Store in Datong Ancient City) ✨Nearby attractions: Huayan Temple 110 meters Drum Tower 455 meters Nine Dragon Screen 641 meters Datong Ancient City Wall 1.7 kilometers
