The results just before departure, peer Crow was arrested and the boss to work overtime, seven days holiday left to cut the right cut, the Sang Sang turned into two days: (, but unfortunately too late to be around people, had to pinch depressed in the first trip to the waist - just enough to go Datong (crow that you do not wronged, and I not a penny of overtime overtime, but also dig their own taxi travel, whom I complain, ah, 5555555555)

The evening of October 2 starting, L171 sleeper (Beijing - Datong, 22:30 start, 66 million), on the 3rd morning to Datong.

Well, well ~~~~~~~~~~ cold! ! 5:00-off out of the Datong station, days daybreak, the hope that the Provisional Bus can be delayed, the results of a sub-reach is not bad, from the warmth of the sleeping car out - good ~~~~~~ cold! ! ! Could not help to thin sweater sportswear Jinle Jin collar outside to see the station people are wrapped in thick overcoats, warm too so that I envy!
Bought a 5 am return train ticket, only 27 yuan / person, good cheap! Forward by a block (that is, Datong bus stop, the very close, walk 3 minutes) to see the long-distance bus station (although at a crossroads, but not very conspicuous). By Wei Ke a door stop, saying it was the earliest start to the Xuan Kongsi, the one-way 15 yuan / person. Do not look bright days, the streets only a smattering of cleaners, car, sat only a few people do not know when it will start. "Give us two seats left it, let's eat breakfast." Nearby to find a breakfast shop, less than 6:00, shopkeepers are beginning to do first cage dumplings, Oh, of course, a small cage steaming buns in section For a time into the belly of the Wolia:)
Lu-yu Sanggan
Conductor Fellow (tentatively called him a small guide bar) and hold carefully to confirm that a "vehicle on the door, oh, come eat." On the bus a read, and eight individuals, sitting in the driver behind the first row, less than 6:30. We later found out early on the train how wise, because fast 7:00 start time, the car all the places that are the shelves of small voids Mazar, sat N individuals, small guide can only shut the door after the car has a "one-stop place for "Our seating is really the" big ~~~~~~ Block "of.
The driver is very kind-hearted, small guideline is talking as he said with a smile we recommend to visit Shanxi trip outside North Korea from time to time crying, "to hunyuan!" Everyone laughed: "also arrest the person, sitting trunk A?" Small I. Chong We make faces: "The more people the more they want a yell, which is occupational disease! diseases!" Ha Ha ... ... the original plan to finish Xuankong Si Ying County Wooden Pagoda to see the results heard being repaired, not completely open, and he changed the landscape Hengshan area.
Initially take the ground, the roadside wasteland are said to poor soil quality, crops do not live long. The driver drove away from time to time actually heretical, still alive, did not frighten! Small guide explained very reasonable: "Datong coal ah out of the car was overloaded carts Datong, the road crushed, and back is empty, it left the road better! Fear Britain with you that we take a good road Well ! a "way to chuanshan while before, mountain winds, but the driver was driving very fierce, I'll wait a little bit afraid:" The little guide you stand there Dangzhao rearview mirror, right? CAREFUL IN THE SUMMER A teacher you drive? "mess with the master Han Han laughed, saying that it meant nothing, ah, Wutai Mountain road more dangerous than here.
Passing through a semi-dry creek, a small guide sold-kuan-tzu told us: "This is the Sanggan River!" This is described by Ding Ling, the sun shone under the Sanggan? Northern water, this was expected, could take a look at this semi-dry ditch, went so far as to give birth to more pity, felt that the call "sentimental River" has.
More than 1 hours to hunyuan county, Tatung has been dirty, and hunyuan even more dirty! Although, and coal related, but look at a sky full of dust, suddenly feel that I have always said polluted Beijing is so clean! Fortunately, a small lead is far from good for the closed windows, a brief stay and move on. Not far away is the Hengshan Mountain Range, mountain at the foot of a flowing mist or dust do not know, misty Morninghope between the vague shapes, and the peaks of gold with red Ying Village, seems warmth and sublime.
Delicate Xuan Kongsi
Originally a vehicle up and down in the Xuan Kongsi people, and then straight to Hengshan area, but would like to tour Xuan Kongsi many people, have asked to get off my mind turned to a small lead Daoting quick: "That we will first look around Xuan Kongsi, and then pull We go to Hengshan Scenic Spot! "- Kazakhstan, the mountains of the 10 yuan fare he booked:) from the roadside parking lot next to the lower slope, that is, the Xuan Kongsi. Thanks to the little guide buy tickets, spent 40 yuan, saving 6 yuan. But do not give tickets, signing a piece of paper alone, the door, and unfortunately a pity ah, I certainly do not come true signature: (
Xuan Kongsi backed by cliff, from the ground to the ground 50 meters (built in Northern Wei Dynasty, in order to Hengshan 18 King of the brightest and best. Hengshan is located in the foothills west of Golden Dragon Jade Peak Gap cliff, the entire three-storey temple structure, more than 30 Diange to Plank Road between linking), the rise can be seen on the ground picture, more compact than expected, seen from afar actually are more like toys:) and the surface parking lot built after the temple as if the relative positions of the foot from the ground close to there is no imagination in the strategically located and difficult. Taiwan to see a longer time before 8:30 - Jin Temple Hello!
Come early is good - few people:) until you walk in this exquisite of Xuankong Si on the foot of the cliff to see the wood columns, lasted for a thousand of the wind and rain, is still quietly supporting the temple, it's felt real human Qiao Art wins tico! Inspired by a loud creak wooden gallery, looked down a cliff, good high-risk ah well! - This is so amazing and the feeling of admiration is the Siwai not feel, so strongly recommended to enter the temple must walk! A very memorable experience! ! One-line walk through the week wound down the Temple, narrow places where only one person turned around, is really exquisite! Terabe come the end of the old wind chimes from Yanjiao looked out, cliff and fog, is a humble wooden pillars of rock, really, such as floating air worthy for the vacant temple!
Temple culture collection Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Act 1, it is strange. But is also very exquisite statue itself is not much ornamental value. Recall that the Northern Wei Dynasty years, in order to avoid the wind and rain, choose the built in accordance with cliffs, old Liaoluo monks deep in the mountains temple, exquisite pavilions, Drum and bell, time has passed. Now downtown attractions, Red Dust secular, open the floodgates camera video, what a noise. Millennium ancient temple to the Red Dust earthly tranquility Sang Sang tarnished! Not help laughing: I do not have one of them do? Large secular one!
1 hour to visit enough, a temple, the parking lot getting full, visitors have many more we must queue Rusi said, and after all load-bearing is limited, could not help but remind myself how lucky to land early. Well, to return a small lead of the car, after another Qi, and continue up the mountain!
Bleak Hengshan
To bypass the Hengshan reservoir, one-way through the long, dusty, under construction Hengshan tunnel (usually the construction does not release, allegedly deliberately in order to allow the opening of Golden Week, 10 days), the car all dirt flavor, with great difficulty has opened, and fast ! Window ventilation! ! Panshan the way, the reservoir at the foot farther and farther, and gradually Xiaocheng a green pools. In front of the card, to pay into the mountains costs 16 yuan (including 2 yuan insurance) and, of course, the people of a small guide to help us bring the price down to 10 yuan. More than 20 minutes to arrive in the parking lot mountainside, only 10 points, climbing and go! !
There is riding the line, but we choose to walk. A typical north hills, full of bare rock, gravel roads, trees too little, a half-hour climb is really nothing to be seen. Oh, the Linghu Chong Jin Yong's novels, and I do not know live Shi Mei Yi Lin small children? Hengshan sent a nun? Hengshan is Taoism could be the site:) the sun getting hot, my dress is short sleeve T shirt on, it is a big enough difference in temperature! Has finally come to close to the peak of Hengshan buildings, tickets 35! Guia, a small guide to help the Trustee, Oh, spent 25 yuan into a.
Not too many visitors, and perhaps more scenic, distracted tourists. These buildings near the hilltop communities, built on mountains, some back concave cliff is, after all the good sheltered place. See description: "Beiyue Hengshan, West title Yanmenguan, peak elevation of 2017 meters, in order to successive emperors worship land. Mountains of ancient architectural complex legislation, there are" three Temple 4 Temple 7 Temple 12 Temple Jiuting eight holes "theory . "These buildings almost connected, so do not take too much road tour.
Hengshan Mountain is a famous Taoist mountains, enshrines a Chun-yang Palace, the wall of the yin and yang diagram is far from visible. The main building is also pretty good, as if mounted on the cliff opposite the chambers within the named said that because the emperor lived. There has been little statues to be seen of the Department, but the Way back when, in the construction of such a scale here will be struggling. The visits are like me and so be able to help the wheels of it today, came from the foot of the mountain on foot, all the way hard, has been able to come here was not easy, and no wonder known as the "must Cypriot mountains." I'll wait come and do not have tasks are, do not see any good-looking, while the car Maxin Lao was able to list the ancient hills, natural feel different, I really do not know near the time of the landscape is already far from the true picture! ! Moreover, strong incense that year, it should be cypress pines, towering old trees, to the modern logging serious, will be today's Hengshan - bare Hengshan Unfortunately, what a pity - desolation Hengshan!
Heard nothing to the peak to see, simply do not. Then open the dry food to solve the lunch, return to parking lot. Mountain roads are only erected stalls, so sit down and eat a bowl of local snacks - hunyuan bean jelly, taste no difference, but grass jelly texture is not bad.
1:30 Hengshan Scenic Area parking lot from the start, the United States and the United States slept, eyes open is already 3:30, approaching bus station in Datong. The next day a small derivative Kung urged everyone to Wutai Mountain, but each trip, I got all things from Ben. Crow said: "The reunion day is destined, and still hope to hit?" Subsequent events have shown that: These words are wrong!
A cursory look at Nine Dragon Wall
In time, and seems to be ahead of the trip, so to the train station to buy tomorrow at noon (4 days) of the return journey ticket, and then the idea of a refund. Did not think even they could change their votes, one of the four people only pay up the money, the new ticket on the hand of the, ha ha! ! We may not be the peak time to come and go, so better to buy tickets. Inquire about these days, back to Beijing berth at night or not, estimated to be bought in advance.
Well, the rest of the time wandering in the city bar. 4-way at the train station take bus (departure station, automatic coin, on the bus 1 yuan coins ready), Datong is not large, the railway station in the urban north, in the Youth Palace before a stop, we can see a crossroads, and the south is the Drum Tower. 3-minute walk east on the left to see nine-dragon screen, and the estimated ticket prices: the 6 yuan.
The door, at a glance: Only a dragon wall, beneath a very small pond (tentatively put It's called, said the pool bar, and street fountain as big as a small pond), called the inverted screen wall, from the reflection seen in Long, the wind over the water move, Long Shadow do have the vivid feeling. Datong Long wall more, hence the dragon wall of the city view. I have seen in the Forbidden City and the North Sea off nine-dragon screen, interest is not large, but this piece is said that only the largest (formerly the 13th son of the emperor's palace, Wang Gui-generation Zhaobi). Could have been pairs of facing the wall, but keep looking back, a small hospital, it is really nothing else to watch, so less than ten minutes we came out.
Galerkin-style look at Kegon
Back to the crossroads to continue to go west, this street is a bustling urban areas, vendors galore, a few minutes can go to youth palace, and is on the road south Huayan Monastery, the whole street had repair of the ancient style, good looking .
10 yuan tickets, entry to the temple, right into the left-out bar. Temple little door into the second one went to the Main Hall, it has the Liao Dynasty-style architecture said to be China's largest Buddhist temple. The middle of something plastic north-south hall of "five-Buddha," while five Buddha shrine, this is rather peculiar, five Buddha with large, word order, indeed no small hall! There are 20 kings on both sides, as the wall is intact in 8 over 100 square meters murals, hall light is not good, the Buddha mural behind do not know. Unfortunately, art is not to be otherwise, should benefit:)
To go out to the south is under the close Huayan Monastery, originally two temple can be connected, but do not know why the money be divided into two, but also dig the 10 yuan ticket: (next Huayan Monastery larger, two into the times, the main hall is "thin gal to teach Tibet," Hall, hall light is dim (and perhaps the reasons for approaching the evening), coupled with the high fence surrounded the statues are, so do not see more and more real. scattered layout, there were reportedly 31 Liaoning Plastic and private that the statue is characterized by a very lively, very humane, and often see an unparalleled look like solemn statues different, very aesthetic. the most famous is the door on the left corner of a Bodhisattva usual broad clap your hands together, touching Wan-Li reportedly called "Eastern Venus" (certainly from the contemporary to the name of the person, not not-yang) is the Liao Dynasty Painted Sculpture of art treasures. Oh, architecture, or sculpture should be very like it:) There are 38 halls on both sides between the Tripitaka cabinet, said more than 18,000 books Buddhist scriptures, but the visitors could only look across the fence closed the door.
Huayan Monastery converted under the Piandian exhibition room, and with a lot of artifacts Datong history. Datong - Liao Dynasty Xijing (now Beijing is a time of Nanjing House, the playoffs do not know heroes is not under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing government? He He), is both a bustling Xijing, and a military town, situated close to the present Inner Mongolia, and therefore the Galerkin greater cultural influence. In Beijing, just listening to the search Khitan nation talks, also read on the Khitan dynasty tombs Museum of History exhibition at today's look at Datong reserved Liao culture, and prepare a sense of cordial. Unfortunately, the once bustling are in the past, today's Datong, giving the impression that only the largest of the coal.
Silent Shan Temple
Back to the Drum Tower south to come to the stage 10 minutes, they arrive at a good Temple of the (recommended itinerary: From the nine-dragon screen out can be good first Temple, then go to Huayan Monastery, continue west can go to the Red Square), the Drum Tower is almost in the old city center, good south of Temple in the Old City, also known as the South Temple. Approaching 6:00, and ticket booth no one, from the ticket gate entry tickets, but also 10 per hour.
Temple was first built in the Tang Dynasty, rebuilt in the Liao Dynasty, is also the Liao Dynasty style, the hall and Huayan Monastery similar for the 5 side Buddha, wall murals. However, much larger temple, has two courtyards, Piandian, bell tower and so on. Is already dusk, sparsely populated, sitting on the stone stairs, seen from afar hall, feeling like a big house, sharp corner Qiao Zhao, roof length with the old grass, it is quiet around the rare so quiet!
When we go out after a month-pai lou, into a look, full of hospital grassland, actually there is a Wulong wall, Oh, where almost no tourists had.
Lively in the Red Square
Back to the Drum Tower, in the next to the supermarket (it is said here, the largest supermarket) and bought something to eat, and then west of the street where to eat, really cheap, we have three dishes, soup, a total of only 18 per hour with a staple! Actually there is a dollar of mustard pork soup, there are still many; big a stewed carp only 7 yuan, a hearty meal, Miya Miya!
Is not a few minutes west is the red square, and square there is a statue of Hu Fu riding and shooting. Here is no longer part of the old city, built well, Datong people gather here at night fun: sell snacks, photography, playing ball, walking to chat - the night life of Datong. Unfortunately, businesses close early, before 20 o'clock, there are virtually no business in the.
To the square west of the junction of the Northern Shanxi hotel lodging, go to the door, met today with the car Hengshan two, ha ha, small world! Hotel public, two human 20 yuan / person, conditions can be, there are communal bath shower can be really cheap:) downstairs near a 4-way car tomorrow morning to Yungang Grottoes, a good rest.
Yungang Grottoes - freezing the beautiful
6 points off them, check out departure. 4-way ride, and soon went to the new terminal opened, the back to take the 1:00 and other 3-way car, sending terminal, to have to sit, cold ~ ~ ~, seats are iron, a good early morning cool. Drive too fast, 7:00 start, 35 minutes to Yungang Grottoes, and vehicle fares 1.5 per head. Get off, the edge of a small restaurant in the square to eat breakfast: Shanxi noodle characteristics. 7:50, the door right? A look at the ticket office, actually began selling tickets at 8:30, to late? : (There were very few took a few photos, and other bar! The sun rising, more and more people, the square has several hundred people, and just do not open the door! Is to wait until the point of selling tickets! People began queuing at the ticket , 8:20, people are more and more complaints are heard everywhere, but the long-awaited ticket window is not open, not to time, do not open are not open will not open!! line of people began crowding, and finally passed 8:30 is really only started selling tickets ah punctuality - 50 Tai Yuen.
Into the main entrance, the most beautiful and most characteristic of the statue on 5 and 6 caves in the attic, the five largest Buddhist cave - 17 m; 6 cave in all directions Jie Shifo image, colorful, even the head of the statue is very beautiful. In time for the crowd to go to the West, and indeed few visitors in the morning sun, enjoying the beauty of the solidification, a great blessing! Cave of about 11 painted sculptures are vivid, the performance of musical instruments that cave is beautiful, actually found a statue of some like the barbarian, Oh, the Northern Wei Dynasty built in years, quite some influence:) there is a cave on top of the statue actually look up something like the West little angel looks like, do not know art is not the similarities of the?
16 contains several statues of Buddha Cave started a huge pity that serious damage to the statue of the Qing Dynasty Technicolor Dreamcoat drawing is difficult to see, but added the resulting hole in the statue on the left everywhere. There is an interesting phenomenon: in a cave to see two seated Buddha inside, talk to each other's posture seemed to, ha ha, this seems less common in other places. 20 Cave of the Buddha is also great, that is a sign of tickets on the Yungang Buddhist Grottoes, it is worth a view. Continue west on the small of each cave, and can be visited much. Soon went head back east. Is Yourenruzhi short period of time, and we were lucky, survived a peak:)
5,6 Cave continued to walk east, could not help then go read a really America! Cave east is 1-4, including three caves of the cave the most, but the statues are generally of. Because here is a limestone, horizontal crack is very serious, so damage to abound. A cave in front of a small pond, trees, surrounded by quiet, and rest for a while, Return bar! Take a look at the time, nearly 10 points, visited the two and a half hours, time is very abundant, because things are not far apart.
3-way, or to the street, etc. Surprisingly, there are vehicles such as stations, estimated at over here is a large station, bus stop on more than a few minutes. On their cars, as well as a seat:) return halfway through the Goddess of Mercy Church, did not want to see, and in the car outside the hall to see a three-dragon wall, it really is a dragon-walled city. Buses can get going really fast, 16 kilometers, only 25 minutes back to the newly opened Lane. Oh, more cost-effective than a taxi.
Return
Good delicious meal plans, sitting 4-way, 23 points went to the Shan-fu floor (as if this name) stations, and stations of the same name that is opposite the Shan-fu floor boss with the restaurants, the scale is not small, fitting very well. Asked for a catfish hot pot, with a six vegetables, asked for a half a catty-based shrimp, sent four small-dish and steamed dates. Pot really fragrant, about couple of pounds of fish, how eat not finish, it is estimated to be 4 persons and waste呀~ ~ ~ total consumption of 50, again Saying cheap:)
12 points, and 4-way car ride back to the railway station, on the train, some people say hello, turned out to be the same car two Aunt yesterday, sitting behind us; quickly got off and the next people to talk to, she said: "In the morning in the restaurant saw to you. "Haha, Datong is really so small? 12:50 start. This car was converted to the Beijing No. continue to walk, no wonder there are people who fast get off big pack of small Chung came to take our seats, this seat belongs to them later in Beijing.
The vehicle is still barren mountains, and sometimes you can see the Great Wall. Roadside conservation of land converted to forest, trees are being cultivated. Feng Guo, sand, the bear watching, for the environment, damage is much easier than repair.
When the sun sets, to the West Beijing Guanting Reservoir, from afar, the water open, golden grass, rolling hills, a bit actually give birth to a beautiful accident scene, the harvest of a good mood. Near 7:00, front lit, familiar with the Beijing West Railway Station ... ...
