Night before on the stick up a bottle of fen, to the hotel, focusing instead on sleep, results to 5:30 am wake up. Because this hotel is rather poor, bath nor a good wash, so we both decided that it would go up and to find and bathing children, and so washing the spots also opened the door, and not to delay in Datong trip.
Datong's entertainment, bath industry with their catering trade also developed, where a bath last night to find that the hotel when they encountered: the tianlun dynasty! But that is only a sub-bath, covered Capitol Hill than the United States but also magnificent, just to see the two of us to put forward shock, and this feeling of extravagance in my memory, only 10 years ago, the sea can be compared比. However, a shower of Yet most, nothing special, the only common ground is worth mentioning that all the customer who called "leadership." 1:01 to values of the title is the best expression of the local dining and entertainment is so advanced that it is not difficult to explain.
Datong attractions within no more than a few on it, on behalf of the palace has long been destroyed, leaving only nine-dragon screen kept one, as a visitor from Beijing, is not recommended (this stuff Beijing have both). Under Huayan Monastery, and Datong City Museum, we can see its status. The temple has possession of the Liao Dynasty Hall of Education building a thin gal, one day palace hall pavilion, and was known as the Inner Deep Liang isolated, although in my opinion, this temple pavilion County, Jodo-ji Temple than to be a far cry from that. Huayan Monastery is a true national treasure under the Liao Dynasty painted sculpture hall is said is extremely beautiful, but I really could not tell anything, because the hall Heigulongdong, and full-iron fence with a dense Dangzhuo, hardly anything is unclear. Out of thin gal to teach Tibetan Temple, not far from seeing an extremely magnificent hall, which is on the Huayan Monastery of the Main Hall, which is currently the largest Buddhist temple in China, one of enormous wide cornices, rough and exaggerated brackets is a typical style of the Liao and Jin Dynasties, and Ming and Qing Dynasties built on a very different taste, built on the high-profile above, but also to highlight its towering and the atmosphere, looked up from the bottom up, there is a sense of pressure, pressing the domineering head descend quickly. Refined compared to the Ming and Qing, I still prefer this feeling, looking at that thing, a most appropriate word is "shock", in this strongly recommended! However, it was only this hall can be seen, the five parties, the Buddha hall is a new thing, not a small reputation with the Yongle Palace Murals ratio, is almost not worth mentioning.
Shan Temple, reputation Huayan Monastery smaller than the more ancient buildings, if is not interested in visitors, seen from top to bottom, after Avatamsaka landmark, where you can not to go. But I still would like to recommend it because of all the upper and lower Huayan Monastery to buy a ticket, but there is only a building to be seen, but good Temple, includes a gate, including three halls, as well as a Pavilion and a Wulong Samantabhadra wall, are the Liao and Jin dynasties, although not on the Huayan Monastery Nazuo hall then it is imposing, but the layout is the most complete Galerkin existing building groups, but style is very characteristic, in particular, 3 Temple, brackets in the rough Also disclosed in the complex into a lotus shape, doing all fine. In particular, the monastery rebuilt in recent years have not had time, several Cong Cui Cao, streaks of run-down pour in even more revealing the true beauty of simplicity that I like the feeling. There is also the proximity of three Temple, the Drum Tower in Datong center near the corner would have given Shaodai read.
To Datong, Yungang Grottoes general can not fail to see, but it places too much fame, too many visitors, I do not want to say, and the overall feeling is better than the Longmen, the first morning, big statues, painted halls are also retained more complete. To this point has been at noon, Tatung essence done. With yesterday's experience, the streets of Peking Man car was hated cheese! In order to get rid of them as quickly as possible, temporary change in a moment trip, a huge Xuankong Si fame will not go, and went straight to a small place - to be county. In such a small town, 67-meter-high pagoda is absolutely could serve as a landmark, far away and watch the opening passed.
Jia Ying County Wooden Pagoda Liao release this thing, as long as you have seen, would never suspect that it is China's most cows B, the existing old buildings! Appearance of five-six heavy and solid inside the nine-story, high 67 meters, the bottom diameter of 30 meters, all made with mortise and tenon timber! Like a building-block ride up, but it can with its flexible structure rather than after an earthquake destroyed several times. Here I have a few long-winded, the significance of the past and the present tower is different from that time was that there is no hall, the tower itself is a Temple, the so-called "Tower Hall", that made up nine-story tower in the shape of the hall! The middle without any stone or brick tower core. In those years, take such a thing to use the wood to the exhaustion of the country's good material for craftsmen and, Jinian after year, costly. Therefore, one charge that was never built this thing of the effort, all within a stone into a masonry or wood of the outside. The reason why a lonely tower which is why the goods. Tarja no lights on the steep stairs to Mo Zhaohei in this to persuade the elderly and children Shen Ru, only those up to the three-story, but basically the internal structure can also see it clearly. But even upside down here, still unable to escape the surging crowd in Beijing, I was wandering third floor tower sighs, suddenly, in Shanxi in the second were a grip! Looked back and was a university student, I really live in Xian Liaogui! So I shocked to ask: "Are you learning so many people who do not know how this column that way?" He threw himself honestly: "I heard, I told the group come!" Hey! This tower is required only for 30 people, but now I looked up a view, people are jammed on top, and the stairs are all squeezed into non-bearer, and wooden floors have been a bad foot! It is worried about the fate of the tower, ah, what if the thing breaks down, China is no one has this ability can no longer repair the!
Before I left, the staff inquire with the pagoda a moment where Jodo-ji Temple, on the tower not far behind. Under the rain from early morning to the present, the ground water is already a potholed, and deep-shallow one foot to foot approached the alley, took eldest enthusiasm, zigzag manner found, an excuse of the Terakado. This place is too partial, and no fees shall be the entrance to the Buddhist Association of County brand, inside there is one old and one small two monks, it is enthusiastically welcoming us into it, a look inside there are actually individuals being photographed. I then puzzled, it is arrogant to ask people: "how do you know this place?" Inquire about the results of a know, people are Tianjin University School of Architecture, specializing in ancient architecture! This comfortable about the whole mind, and also, as we learned of this can play out the play out of professionalism, and also can be compared to industry experts ah! Oh, then return True Story, the Pure Land Temple, the second of this line strongly recommend something! Hall is only one, is golden generation, but the scale is very small, look and feel in general, but enters and looked up and stayed! 9 ceilings on the roof caisson, the so-called "eight of the Temple Jiuxing pavilion", are all wood, with small brackets, built on the shape, the middle of the biggest, there are as many as five layers! Not an inch to spare the entire ceiling of the Department, Ban Zhao ray of sunlight upward, and he looked, a kind of magnificent, great beauty, such as the body near the wonderland feeling! Day-old experts and our view is consistent and strong than that under the Huayan Monastery too much! He has traveled to China soon, but have never seen such a beautiful thing, while sadly while holding the camera kept shooting, we need to hurry, the incense sticks, incense donation of money (from the heart is willing!) Go first step, the result, just go out to see the two people are from down the preparation into a white Beverly Temple, approached a look, it really is Beijing License! Really can not stand! How come Shuaibu Diao group of people in it, Zouna now where! But any case, this temple the first thing is good, another kind of feeling good, no fees, not the tourist spots, is "Amoy" out, the monks formal etiquette, incense was also knocked Qing, look like a donor, is Ancient visit to Cuba that the beautiful feeling.
Should leave the county to continue to speed along the Nankai Dayun. In order not to repeat the tragedy of yesterday, we decided in the future specifically looking for a small place to live, today's escape Taiyuan Xinzhou go first to live. There are two places the road is more interested in, one took place in Jin Yong's classic novel, the tragedy Yanmenguan, the other is an old pirate friend in Shanxi recommended by the old ancient city of Guang-Wu. Yanmenguan down the high-speed but also to open more than 20 kilometers of the mountain, and then to walk about one kilometer climb up the mountain before. Actually, this off, and do not have much content, it can be the scene at that time left a lasting memory. Yanmenguan at the foot of the time, the rain has been more under the larger, until the hilltop, rain in order to have all of the ice beads, in the 7,8-level cross-wind blowing, the hum volume fly sky shouting, playing the body pops in the sound of fighting In the face of knife-like Sheng Teng, to this sad and dreary old Guan added a dash of generosity. From the shape-sheng point of view, the Commissioner seems to be a crossroads, stuck four directions, is worthy of the throat the whole Jin, flying geese wandering with big! All the way down the mountain, but also set aside a few people braved the wind hit the ice, bite the bullet, face pain compared to the mountain, while muttering: "are the child, non-places to see what Xiao Daxia suicide!" Ha Ha!
After the downhill, followed by a long list of Beijing, led by the Audi A4 car, in a bad way uneven potholes (which we call black beans ground), on very slow speed driving, came together the old ancient city of Guang-Wu, This is an abandoned military fortress inside has also been occupied by villagers, with the feeling of almost crowing Station, but more well-preserved city walls. Station because we have been crowing for more than an hour wandering, so little interest in, and watched the sky will be late, then the speed of the Xinzhou Ben. In high-speed road took another one back Yanmenguan still faced a large cross-wind, and the steering wheel is almost Bachibuzhu. To Xinzhou, the sky is already dark, when, took place today, the most depressing thought: The stratagem, selective, hid hid another, so that the letting, or in the Xinzhou Hotel met a setback! Garak place such a horn is still being occupied by the wretched Beijingers! An angry, following highway billboards went to a village called Qi Spa - Wellness Center, Shanxi Province, the local cadres. Originally thought that a place in Shanxi Province cadres convalescence must be very corrupt, but did not expect to open more than an hour of the night black beans ground! The deepest pit one meter deep, can not the car! By 9:00 more places, but also not find any corruption in the project, that is asking too much that pool, 50 by 25 standard pool, actually filled with pure spring water, drawn in the inside slowly moving, warm look at the Yanmenguan physical and mental being cooled to relieve sore muscles about the outcome of Dao Hai ...... not too bad.
