Datong December Family Outing｜Unlock History and Aesthetics at Jixiaoshan

In December in Datong, if you want to give your child a family trip that combines history and aesthetics, Jixiaoshan Hotel is definitely the best choice. This hotel, a pinnacle of new Chinese-style aesthetics, is located beneath the ancient city wall of Datong. In the winter days of December, bringing your child here to experience the blend of Northern Wei heritage and modern design, every detail is full of surprises, making the family trip especially profound. Jixiaoshan’s location always focuses on "cultural integration." As a time-space post at the ancient and modern border of Datong, under the ancient city wall in December, the hotel’s historic buildings and newly built courtyards complement each other, creating a unique visual impact. Walking with your child through the five-entry courtyard, touching the ancient architectural components, and explaining Datong’s past fully stimulates your child’s curiosity, prompting endless questions and gaining abundant historical knowledge during the visit. The hotel’s design cleverly dialogues between tradition and the future. Although the outdoor pool is closed in December, the unique rammed earth wall design piques your child’s curiosity. The rugged texture of the volcanic stone walls echoes the texture of the Yungang Grottoes. Taking photos here with your child also provides a chance to talk about the grottoes’ history. In the narrow skylight corridor, light and shadow change in the December winter, and your child plays light and shadow games here, making parent-child interaction very enjoyable. At Jixiaoshan, cultural collisions are everywhere. The mixed furniture in the guest rooms, the fusion of food and music in the restaurant—experiencing these unique designs with your child in December helps them understand that beauty can take many forms. Such a family trip is not just about sightseeing but also an enlightenment in aesthetics.
