Yungang Grottoes

There are over 50 caves with over 50,000 well-preserved Buddhist statues from the 5th century.

Reviewed By snowmountainfox - London, United Kingdom

Breathtaking site and grottos, though it is recommended to read up on the history and grottos / watch documentaries before going to grasp the uniqueness and depth of the site. Signage boards only provide limited information and the Museum is currently closed due to Covid. If you speak Mandarin, you could also respectfully ask the friendly security staff in the grottos for explanations. They are very knowledgeable and deserve credit for their willingness to share.

Datong City Walls

Reviewed By vickasd - Houston, United States

Our tour guide suggested that we visit the city walls in the evening to see the lights and the city and we were so glad we did. At the top you can also rent bikes and we ended up renting a 4-wheeled bike that was a blast to ride on the top of the wall.
