the Yungang Grottoes, The three main sites in China that are famous
for their stone sculpture are Dunhuang, Longmen and Yungang. Among these,
the Yungang grottoes are considered first among equals, for their tremendous
size, ancient history, and relatively complete state of preservation.
Visit Shanhua Monastery located in central Datong within the old city
walls. It was first constructed during the Tang dynasty (618-907AD)
though most of the present wooden building dates back to the 12th century.

and has a screen wall decorated with dragons.

Dragon Screen. Built over 600 years ago, it is presently the oldest

Day 2. Datong, Departure
In the morning we will drive to Hunyuan County, about 1.5 hrs away from Datong to visit Yingxian Wooden Pagoda. It is the oldest and tallest wooden pagoda in the world and was built in 1056 during Liao Dynasty. The Wooden Pagoda was made entirely of wooden parts joined by innumerable mortises and tenons in a complicated structure of brackets, without using any nails. The octagonal pagoda is one of the few surviving examples of a Song-Dynasty pagoda, rich in detail, dynamic in bracketing, and noble in proportion.
Then we will visit the Hanging Temple (Xuankongsi). Hanging temple is a temple built into a cliff near Mount Heng. Built more than 1,400 years ago, this temple is unique not only for its location on a sheer precipice but also because it includes Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian elements in the same temple.
Be transferred back to your hotel or to train station after the
tour.
