Don't miss the ancient capital of Datong and experience the changes of the old and new history.

In the morning bells and evening drums of the ancient capital of Datong, and in the crisscrossing streets and alleys, the Mountain & Sea House (Datong Ancient City Drum Tower) provides a poetic habitat for contemporary travelers to rest their bodies and minds with a humble and determined attitude. The hotel building blends into the skyline of the ancient city with a humble attitude. The exterior adopts a cyan-gray tone that echoes the ancient city wall, but hides the contemporary design language in the details. In the guest room, the rammed earth wall and the brass washbasin form a textured dialogue, and the elm coat rack and the cement table lamp complete the material mix. The bathroom space is a sensory ritual. The bedding is made of 80 Xinjiang long-staple cotton to ensure the best body humidity in the dry Datong climate. The breakfast is made with "Baihua Shaomai", which is inherited from the old shop on Gulou East Street, and the oat noodles are served with wild sand onion sauce. In the afternoon, you can experience the authentic "Datong Copperware Tea Ceremony" in the tea room, watching the tea soup tumbling in the hand-hammered copper pot, as if hearing the camel bells of the tea-horse trade market a thousand years ago. With the hotel as the center, you can reach the Drum Tower in 5 minutes to feel the ancient rhythm of "morning bells and evening drums"; walk 8 minutes to Huayan Temple, and hold your breath in front of the largest existing Liao-Jin wooden structure building; stroll 15 minutes to Chunyang Palace to see how Taoist architecture and Buddhist sculptures coexist wonderfully.
