Datong Weekend Getaway

Explore, eat, shoot, and sleep—this is the right way to unlock Datong! By day, the ancient city is a history buff's paradise—climb the city walls, explore Huayan Temple, photograph the Yungang Grottoes, and every snapshot captures the essence of time. But don't rush off when evening comes! Wait for the lights to come on, and the entire ancient city transforms into a "Cyberpunk version of Along the River During the Qingming Festival." Strolling along the city walls and enjoying skewers at the night market are the local favorites. Tired of all the fun? We highly recommend staying at the Cloud Dwellings Hotel in the ancient city! Here's why: 1. Unbeatable Location: Turn right out the door, and you're at the heart of the ancient city wall. No need to lug heavy equipment around for night shots, and a 10-minute stroll after a big dinner gets you back to your room to relax. 2. Photography Buff Bonus: The rooftop terrace offers simultaneous views of the illuminated Quexing Tower and the starry sky. Post a picture on your social media with the caption "Picking stars in Datong," and you'll be bombarded with requests for the location. 3. Travel Through Time: The rooms boast a revamped, upscale neo-Chinese style, featuring wooden beams, ancient paintings, and smart toilets. After a photoshoot in traditional garb, enjoy modern comforts while binge-watching your favorite shows. Wake up the next day, head downstairs for a bowl of lamb offal soup, and then visit the Hanging Temple, perfectly avoiding the tourist crowds. This trip is about both poetry and distant lands, as well as the joy of relaxing whenever you want.
