No other province has moved me to tears like Shanxi

🏨Recommended B&B: Bandou Wenxuan B&B (Datong Ancient City Daiwangfu Branch) 📍Location: No. 2-1-36, Renhefang, Ziyunhuacheng Community, Wuding Street, Gucheng Subdistrict, Pingcheng District, Datong City ✨Who says ancient city B&Bs are all "catfishing"? On this trip to Datong, I found a hidden gem of a B&B—Bandou Wenxuan B&B! For just over CNY 200 per person, I got a five-star experience. It was amazing!🥂 👍Great location: The B&B is located near Daiwangfu in Datong Ancient City. You can walk to Huayan Temple, Daiwangfu, and other attractions. It's super convenient! At night, you can go to the ancient city wall to see the night view and feel the weight of history.👣 🏠 Antique environment: The B&B's exterior blends perfectly with the ancient city, as if you have traveled back in time. The interior decoration is unique, with modern fashion and traditional elements colliding to create an artistic atmosphere!💼 🛏 Comfortable and cozy rooms: We stayed in a standard room with a view of the snow. The room was spacious and bright, with a simple and elegant layout. The mattress was super comfortable, and I didn't want to get up! There was also a water dispenser, mini fridge, tea set, and other facilities. It was like being at home.🛋 🫧 Impeccable hygiene: My friend praised the hygiene as soon as she walked in, saying it was even cleaner than the All Seasons Hotel we stayed at before! The floor was spotless, the bedding was white as new, and there wasn't a single water stain or hair in the bathroom. It was truly "spotless"!🧚🏻‍♀️ 👩‍👧‍👦 Thoughtful service: The B&B owner was so enthusiastic that I was flattered! We communicated our arrival time in advance, and when we arrived, we were greeted with a carefully prepared fruit platter and coffee made to our liking, which instantly dispelled our travel fatigue. The owner also became a "living map of Datong" and recommended local delicacies and niche attractions, allowing us to avoid the crowds and experience the most authentic Datong style.🤩 🚶Within walking distance: Daiwangfu: The mansion of Zhu Gui, the Prince of Dai in the Ming Dynasty. Experience the luxury and grandeur of a Ming Dynasty mansion. Huayan Temple: A royal temple from the Liao and Jin Dynasties. Admire the exquisite architecture and sculpture art of the Liao and Jin Dynasties. Datong Ancient City Wall: Climb the city wall to overlook the ancient city and feel the weight of history. 🚘By bike/bus/taxi: Shanhua Temple: A Tang Dynasty temple that preserves precious Tang Dynasty murals. Nine-Dragon Wall: A glazed screen wall from the Ming Dynasty. Exquisite and unique. Yungang Grottoes: A World Cultural Heritage site. Experience the splendor of Northern Wei Buddhist art. 🍜Food recommendations: Sliced noodles: A Datong specialty. The noodles are chewy, and the soup is delicious. Lamb offal: A traditional Datong snack. The lamb offal is tender, and the soup is rich. Shaomai: Thin skin, lots of filling, and juicy. A must-try. 🌟Tips: The B&B owner can provide more detailed travel advice and food recommendations. Be sure to ask! The attractions in the ancient city are concentrated, so it's recommended to walk or bike to experience the charm of the ancient city. The Yungang Grottoes are far from the city center, so it's recommended to take a taxi or rent a car.
