Shanghai Xian ----- ------ -------- Datong, Taiyuan, Linfen ----- ----- ---- Shanghai, Taiyuan, Pingyao -------
D1: 3 Yue 8: Xi'an, Shanghai ---- ---- Hukou T138 meeting March 9 to 8:03 am, Xi'an, and then visiting the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Shaanxi Provincial Museum (tickets 45 yuan), Provincial Museum of votes price is good value for money, which a lot of good moving east! If time allows, I intend to spend a day inside! Because the purpose of the visit is to Shanxi, so I did not intend to spend more time in Xi'an. In Xian Fan Zhuang used in the meal plan to the Coach of the sleeper car ride to the 12 o'clock starting Yichuan, but it was too broken car and is self-employed long-distance car, listening to the boss talking until 6:00 in the afternoon to Yichuan, but also to the Hukou 2 hours by car. We have decided to abandon the Hukou directly to Shanxi. The afternoon to visit the terracotta warriors and horses back to the railway station ticket. Who knows, especially not buy train tickets in Xi'an, the original plan to only Linfen tickets tomorrow evening, but fortunately the next day afternoon Datong berth ticket. Next, we looked for a 3 star hotel (built Yuan Hotel) to lay down their luggage, to the Drum Tower Street in the vicinity of Muslims took a dinner snack. Is a tourist city of Xi'an in the end, price obviously expensive, especially the tickets and accommodation! According to the locals speaking, Xi'an urban planning is not good, dig everywhere, and Beijing, making the dead, like the big money.
D2: 3 Yue 10, Xi'an, Datong -----
A feel whenever he woke up, at noon BIANGBIANG "(Xi'an noodle characteristics, these two characters is a man-made out of Xian, a wide noodles) with a lunch after leaving Xi'an, I visited the Forest of Stone Tablets park. Xi'an paper-cut is true. We bought some, the average should be 50 large and small a group of 6 to 15 yuan. 14:19 berth riding on a train bound for Baotou, overnight sleeper car taste really having a hard time! Shanxi trains are idle, station stop.
D3: 3 Ri Yue 11 day tour live in Datong Datong 8:00 to Datong, the station, I think it is very cold compared to the low temperatures in Xi'an for more than 20 degrees! The local minimum temperature is minus 3 degrees. I quickly bought into the next morning after the train to Taiyuan. Piazza hit a railway station, Columbia (Liu Hong Chinese BP :95968-88383). The attractions are scattered Datong: Yungang Grottoes Ying County Wooden Pagoda, Xuan Kongsi, Nine Dragon Wall, Huayan Monastery. Xiao, people quite simple, considering the tight schedule, heavy task I decided to pack his leased vehicle for a day trip will be caught by the above-mentioned attractions. We are the only first Huayan Monastery, under the grin of the concept of audio-visual, tickets 6 yuan. The monastery of our two individuals, seems quiet unusual. Shanxi Province's tourist attractions are surrounded by iron railings, and we feel is not worth money. It seems that protection of heritage and tourism in Shanxi has become an opposition, is puzzling. Next, we drove to the Grand Strand to see the largest of the Ming Dynasty Nine Dragon Wall (3 per ticket). Datong is a coal town, though the entire nine-dragon screen black-kick into gear, and we toppled by her momentum. Such a large glass products submerged in ordinary houses inside. Departure from the city to the Hengshan Xuankong Si, we have spent 1 hour and 20 minutes. Xuan Kongsi the mountain at the foot of the Hengshan, tickets giant expensive, to 49 yuan, and no student tickets! The monastery built on a cliff, from the surface with a very thin rickety wooden pillars supporting the entire monastery, very dangerous! In fact, the monastery built in the horizontal inserted on the precipice of the big sleepers. Dry and cold climate has experienced hundreds of years it was built, it is a miracle! The number of Golden Temple is strictly limited to 90 persons / time. Xuan Kongsi is the only one dedicated to Buddhism, Taoism, Confucian temple. Down the Hengshan, about 1 hour and 30 minutes, we went to Ying County Wooden Pagoda. Ying County Wooden Pagoda is the tallest building in the county, built in the Liao Dynasty, is the largest wooden structure of the tower. We are very fortunate to be able to board at the forthcoming overhaul of the former Wooden Pagoda is said to begin in May will be a major overhaul, to be opened a few years later. 7-storey pagoda, all with wooden structure. In addition to a small proportion of ancient repairs, mostly Liao / Jin's works, very precious! Your ticket is also a huge (31 million) that we only go to five layers, the highest two levels on the visitors have been let. In addition, the pagoda already have some tilt, there are several loose planks. Subsequently, we arrived at the Yungang Grottoes. On the road, we have gone through mine. According to Xiao introduction, then 80 years when the Datong coal in short supply, mining monthly income of up to 2-3 thousand dollars per person, mine construction of a number of public facilities. Now, Datong started downhill. The air was filled with the smell of cinder. Yungang Grottoes is located 16 kilometers west of Datong Wu weeks foothills, in particular, is the first 5,6,20 unique caves. Tickets are 50 yuan. Here feel the same as in Dunhuang. The beautiful murals, and sculptures everywhere, everywhere, we must listen to tour guides opinion. Tour fee is 30 yuan, and we rub on a tour, enjoy a free service. Like other attractions, like, where there were several statues were stolen (mostly between 1915 to 1945). It is said that there is also a patriotic education base in Shanxi. Anti-Japanese War, a group of Japanese in this stole a lot of beautiful statues of Buddha. Now, these do not head statue stands quietly in the sunset. Evening Under the scenery very well, we have a long time in the cave before the visit. 5:00 pm caves close, we returned to the city, in the Wing Restaurant dinner together. Then, Xiao accompany us to the supermarket to buy locally famous chili sauce later, to take us to the railway station close to the road up from the hostel (80, suites).
