5.00I spend 2 days in Datong with our guide, Benny, and I enjoyed this place. We visited Yungang grottoes, the wooden pagoda and the "new ancient city", Benny gave us a lot of explanations, I learned a lot of things about Bouddhism. Datong is a nice city, I'd like to spend more time to discover it. In the evenings, we went to a local restaurant Benny recommanded us, and it was delicious !!
