11-point night, bound for Datong's 4437 second train, I will let himself sleep.
I was afraid he would lose sleep because of excitement, because you can see the Yungang Grottoes, after eight hours, I give this trip an own energetic start.
Dream, to a very co-Xu recently really tired, I finally get rid of that cumbersome moment day by day.
But the middle of the night, I woke up three times, cars are not air-conditioned car, it is obvious interior temperature let me wake up cold, wrapped like a cocoon in general.
Morning at dawn, I saw the car outside the land, and is the juncture of Hebei and Shanxi, it is already flat yellow land. Sparse grass, shrubs and tree spacing, composition of vegetation of loess completely, an intense feeling of desolation to the vicissitudes of life had just opened his eyes a great impact.
Next, there may be a gully, I know, I am more into the high loess slope of!
7 am, I walked down the Datong railway station platform, immediately prior to the afternoon of the last to buy Fugu, or sacred trees of the votes, I would like to prepare for the next Yulin. But the conductor's answer was simply terrible and impatient, "No!" I walked away, I suddenly felt a sense of uncertainty, though aware of goals, but do not know that their next stop; although he wants to leave, but not know the time, do not know tools; loneliness, helplessness and adhere to stubborn conflicts, when I set foot on a strange city, on throwing me.
But I like this uncertainty!
With car to Piedmont must have the spirit of the road, I embarked on the car to the Yungang Grottoes.
On the way, I was able to calmly take a closer this city. I saw not far from the coal mines in Montenegro piled along the roadside looked like a broom like poplar, in the slope of the houses built on the Shiji, as well as settling the cinder black river.
In a fault-riddled mound far appears, I know, Yungang Grottoes is up.
Run into a force in tree planting, and some soldiers in Shanxi drum performances, the kind of cheerful momentum, and lively atmosphere, so I feel cheerful together.
Into the Yungang Grottoes, facing the two is that the whole attic wood structure, respectively, the fifth and sixth Cave Cave, the former is the largest of all 40 of several statues of Buddha Cave, the latter extreme beautiful, very ornate .
Then imagine what will happen, complete or incomplete, the Northern Wei Liao-style or strength of character, painted or gilded, Ju-seok, or simply sit or stand ... ... I do not believed in Buddhism, but are deeply shocked by those who passed the statue, is beyond religion.
From the Northern Wei Dynasty to the later Chinese dynasties, people are devout to the construction of these Buddha statues, incense for thousands of years, I do not know whether they can stand the Buddha? But a talent for art, certainly stand the people to worship for thousands of years.
Total length of nearly one kilometer of the Buddha gallery, I come and go trip to a trip to see an amazing time. Yungang Grottoes is applying for World Heritage Site, if solely from the cave itself, a well-deserved!
The afternoon, back to Datong area.
Great West is the focus of Datong Commercial Street, but the point is really shabby.
Yen Monastery of the Atlantic on the street. This Liao monastery there was a concept of audio-visual Kuo Mo-jo as the "Eastern Venus", because she is the only "grin," The Buddha, in a wooden Buddha statues in the public serious people never forget it. However, the traditional Eastern aesthetics is not a request "is not usual broad smile," do? The Goddess of Mercy is also a modern enough!
Huayan Monastery, a basilica is one of the nation's largest two hall Unfortunately, being caught up in the repair and can not go fancy one.
Datong's Nine Dragon Wall heard that the country's largest, the North Sea and the Forbidden City than go on. But when I finally got a Main Street East, a compound of the roadside to find it, it will be 3 dollars a ticket sorry. Because when it is placed there all alone, the nine claws of the dragon is not angry, nor did the dragon aristocratic temperament.
In fact, standing on the roadside could be reflected glimpse of nine-dragon screen, such as Sheung street opposite the hotel on the second floor and sweeping, this ticket could be dispensed with.
