Things to do in Yanggao

There is a saying about the big longevity character on Yunmen Mountain that a person is not as tall as an inch, which means that the person below the longevity character on Yunmen Mountain is not as tall as the inch below it. It is worth a visit. This is also the most famous scenic spot in the ancient Kyushu Qingzhou.

The second time I went, I didn't go on weekends. There were not many people and when there were fewer people, it was a feeling that there were accommodation upstairs. It was convenient not to go out. It was not cold. There were too few places for eating nearby.

The murals are exquisite, and the Buddha statues are very lifelike. You absolutely must visit this ancient temple when you come to Datong! It rained the first day I went, so I couldn't see anything. I went again early the next morning. It would be great if the second ticket was a few yuan cheaper! 😭

Drill through the crack in the ground. After entering, go down through a hole. It is challenging.

It's worth going. I'm not qualified to comment, but I feel it's a must-visit in this lifetime. You could go multiple times. Datong has a much stronger historical charm than Beijing and Luoyang, which I've been to, and there's even more delicious food.

The mottled Ming Dynasty city walls bear witness to six centuries of wind and frost, with autumn sunlight filtering through the crenellations. Deep within the city's alleys, the Liao Dynasty statues of Huayan Temple smile with lowered brows, while the eaves of Shanhua Temple cast shadows of clouds. The aroma of knife-cut noodles wafts from time-honored shops, the clinking of coppersmiths echoes through the alleys, and old-timers play chess by the city walls, fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans. This is not just an empty shell of an ancient city for taking photos; it is a metropolis that has lived for a thousand years in the border region—ancient buildings retain their soul, the everyday life nourishes their roots, and every step reveals the profound weight and gentleness of northern Shanxi.

Very good, very good, very good, very good, very good

I almost turned into a popsicle because I arrived too early. My honest advice is to not go in November. Despite all of the above the expierce alone tops anything I have done in my life. I was in awe even after leaving the Great Wall. Once you get your barcode entry is a walk in the park. I only picked Badaling due to accessibility and nothing else.

Sister Wang's explanations are incredibly down-to-earth and detailed. Her voice is loud and clear, easy to understand, and she's adept at creating a lively atmosphere. She's approachable and her entry points are very engaging, making the 3-hour lecture anything but boring. She even teaches photography angles and techniques, what to photograph and what not to. Highly recommended!

Finally, we arrived at Universal Studios Beijing, embarking on a magical journey through movies and fairy tales. Here, all the fatigue of adults was healed. Although the whole day was rushed and packed with activities, we gained a wealth of joy and relaxation. After entering the park, we immersed ourselves in the various themed areas. Every scene was a highly realistic recreation of a movie, creating a truly immersive experience. Our first stop was the Transformers base, with its cool mecha style and immersive atmosphere. The 4D effects of the AllSpark battle were incredibly realistic and breathtaking, making us feel like we were on a sci-fi battlefield – thrilling and exhilarating. For the brave, we tried the Decepticon roller coaster, where the high-speed launch and flips provided ultimate stress relief, instantly washing away all our worries. Next, we entered Jurassic World. The prehistoric jungle was incredibly realistic, and the Jurassic Adventure ride vividly recreated the dinosaur world. Lifelike dinosaurs seemed to come right up to us – thrilling and fun. The gentler Soaring Over Jurassic offered a panoramic view of the entire park, a truly soothing and relaxing experience. The most anticipated part of the day was the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The ancient Hogwarts Castle and the retro streets of Hogsmeade Village perfectly recreate scenes from the movies. The Forbidden Journey offers an immersive magical adventure with stunning and realistic special effects, fulfilling a long-held magical dream. Unlock magical spots along the street with an interactive wand, paired with a classic Butterbeer for an unforgettable experience. In the afternoon, stroll through the adorable Minions Land. The pastel-colored buildings are cute and soothing, and the Minions' antics are lighthearted and fun, full of childlike wonder. The Kung Fu Panda area, with its traditional Chinese style, is elegant and tranquil, perfect for relaxation and experiencing the unique charm of Chinese fairy tales. The evening parade is lively and grand, with enthusiastic performers creating a joyful atmosphere that infects everyone. As night falls, the Hogwarts Castle light show is dazzling and dreamlike, with flowing light and shadow that amazes the audience. A day trip is short yet fulfilling. Universal Studios is more than just an amusement park; it's a gentle haven to escape the mundane. Here, we can temporarily let go of our stress and be carefree again. This passionate and romantic journey has filled me with energy and become a precious and beautiful memory in my life.
