    The tour guide's explanation was lively and informative, allowing me to fully appreciate the unique charm of the Datong Museum. Datong is not only resplendent with its ancient architecture, but also its underground cultural relics. I was particularly struck by the museum's treasures, which were truly stunning.

    The young lady at the entrance was very helpful and told me I could book tickets through Ctrip. The discounted price on Ctrip was enviable, haha. In winter, there were only three vehicles in the entire scenic area: one carrying a couple, another carrying young people taking photos in spacesuits, and myself. Today, Inner Mongolia had its first snowfall in a long time; the combination of volcanic ash, yellow grass, and white snow created a unique landscape. We photographed Volcano No. 8, and then visited Volcanoes No. 6 and No. 3, finishing in two hours.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Overall, I enjoyed the trip very much. Our tour guide, Xiao Feng, was attentive and responsible throughout, arranging punctual and safe transportation. Her explanations along the way were also very patient and detailed. I was extremely satisfied and thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

    Wanlong is also renowned in northern China. Its abundant number of slopes, impressive lengths and elevation differences, and impressive snow quality have made it a synonym for professional skiing. The resort is large, the cable cars are fast, and the crowds are quite high. It's suitable for beginners and above, with a wide selection of restaurants and comprehensive facilities. The only drawback is the high prices.

    Actually, I had only visited Hengshan (Southern Peak) of the Five Sacred Mountains before. This time in Shanxi, I definitely couldn't miss Beiyue (Northern Peak). Although climbing mountains isn't so easy since my hip surgery, I'll make the best of it and give it my all! Beiyue is a little over 2000 meters above sea level, and the cable car was out of service due to strong winds the day I went. I really relied on my willpower to climb up. I'm so happy to have conquered another new mountain!
