After a text message with a friend decided to go to Datong weekend travel, this may be the shortest tour through planning, and then to the Beijing Railway Station b 16 Ri (Zhou Wu) night train to Datong from Beijing to Datong for the most part passing cars, at night start to the morning there are twice-a is the Tangshan - Shuozhou of 4433 times, through the Beijing Railway Station, departure time is 10 pm or so, on the road after 8 hours the next day to arrive around 6:00 Datong, sleeper Vehicle upper berth price is 62 yuan (because we can not buy in other shops), there is a direct access to the Beijing West Railway Station Datong K705 times, (we go often, April 16, or the trips, 18 of the national railway speed increase , the train number changed, as if N215/216 off), start time is 23:29 at night because it is the K prefix car, we also thought it was express it, who knows until 7:30 the next morning to Datong, However, more than 4433 tickets expensive, upper berth is 87 yuan.
Arrived at Datong station, we were a taxi driver to latch onto, let us pack his car travel, we say that plans to Hengshan - Xuan Kongsi - Ying County Wooden Pagoda, and then back to Datong, his asking price 300 yuan, the one the price is the slaughter of people, we will politely refuse, but he has been with us chatter, we have an excuse to buy a return ticket to get rid of him, and Surprisingly, he said, simply can not buy tickets the day, we went to the window a question, it really is the case However, because the 18 to be accelerated, is temporarily unable to buy tickets in advance. In order to get rid of his entanglement, we give one to friends on the common ground of the taxi driver hit a telephone Sister Ying Zhao Min, Zhao Sister The trip price is 200 yuan, and after 10 minutes connected to us.
Zhao Sister in Datong is a celebrity, she is a national model worker, tried to get the public security authorities had arrested a murderer, but also to help a Sichuan Datong, the girl trafficked to find their loved ones, to save her, which I do not need to elaborate, if we go to Datong Zhao older sister's car ride, you can ask her to tell you. Zhao older sister is a Communist taxi vehicle (there are listed). Her phone is: 13,703,520,047 in advance to her phone, she would arrange everything.
Sit Zhao older sister's car, she was very enthusiastic, I heard that we do not have to eat, immediately took us to a noodle shop, where the characteristics of Shanxi noodle, saying that each person ate a bowl, you do not have to eat in the tourist spots, because the attraction The rice is too expensive. Here noodle 2 yuan / bowls, and the amount can be, you can add eggs, one egg is 5 cents. This restaurant is another thing that attracted me is their pepper, looking very attractive, eating is also very fragrant, so after eating, I bought a point, a small kind of white plastic bags, half bags collected I was 5 yuan.
Went to Hengshan road, Zhao eldest sister told us to help her find that they have been trafficked Sichuanese a sister thing, and along the way told us the road mines, roadside scenery, villages, driving the road seems to be provincial, there are toll booths, in the Hengshan hunyuan where there is a toll station, 10 yuan per vehicle is to pay our own, the fares do not include.
More than an hour later, we reached the Hengshan Mountain, Hengshan to close the two tickets, one uphill charge 12 yuan per person, but each of us forced to sell 2 yuan of insurance. Cars can be opened to about 500 meters above sea level where there are car parks, parking fee is 5 yuan / truck.
Zhao older sister in the parking lot waiting for us, we started climbing on the details of Hengshan I will not described in detail, we can choose according to preference, there are steps all the way up the mountain, and for those who like mountain climbing, this road is unwelcome, Hengshan there are many temples, in climbing to 1 / 3 of the time, there is a temple group tour ticket ticket, as long as you want to continue climbing, you must buy a ticket, 35 yuan per person. The two of us have climbed to the peak of the Hengshan, is said to be 2600 meters above sea level, because I have a fear of heights, but also repair the steps of Hengshan Mountain in the side, so to complete this process has overcome many difficulties, with my friend who is a mountaineering players, and she gave me a lot of help. Otherwise I can not go up. Hengshan a rope can be up and down, one-way ticket 20 yuan / person, round trip is 35 per person, because we wanted to climb mountains, and we did not sit ropeway. Hengshan The only flaw is that green just does not, as water scarcity, all kinds of trees do not live, but the mountain is covered with a lot of peach blossoms.
From Hengshan down, about 10 minutes, we went to the Xuankong Si, which is very worth seeing attractions, from the advantageous, in which the culture and processes are all worth seeing. For security reasons, Xuan Kongsi up each time the number is limited, so do not travel with the group crowding together, if we package tours, while they were still on the camera to explain the time up, or else should have to wait a long time. Xuan Kongsi tickets city of 45 per / person, of course, or in the case without my knowledge, I am forced to sell an insurance value of 1 yuan.
According to his schedule, and we should be county next to the pagoda, and because to open more than 1 hours, we rest for a while, during which Sister Zhao helped us through a village, bypassed by a toll station, eliminating the need for 10 yuan . Arrival should be county, Zhao Sister first greeted us to eat grass jelly, where we usually eat grass jelly with different, more soft, and thin, so they are not called to eat grass jelly, called drink grass jelly, which also added black beans to do tofu, very good to eat, I suddenly become "drink" the two bowls. Grass jelly, the two of us got up and finished ready to get on the train To her surprise, Zhao said Sister pagoda on the side, oh, the original of this pagoda in the town center, across the railing, we looked around, because they have heard nothing good-looking inside , so no ticket.
After visiting the pagoda, it is already 5 pm, and we started to return to common ground on the road with our eldest sister, Zhao introduced the place to eat, but also to find a hotel stay, this hotel is our trip to the Datong far the most gratifying, but I also think that we had the most to the Datong discredit the lifting of the place, very poor sense of service, something has gone wrong, it will only pass the buck, rather than thinking about how to solve the problem, to remind you to refrain from the future to live in Datong, "Beijing University in Hotel", Otherwise, all the good mood will suddenly be destroyed. This newly opened hotel in the South, if the driver is not going to introduce you to go, or else it will just like us.
Stay there after we take a break for a while and started out to find common ground lamb to eat well, we have to go first to a string where to eat, and later also went to one called "Lan Kwai Fong," the bar to be for a while, things here than in Beijing slightly lower prices. However, the two girls, clubbing raised eyebrows around the people, we have 10 points left.
Datong skewer good, the price the same, variety more, we eat for two consecutive days, and the next day also found a very good sub shop, everyone, if available, can go to look at, clean, service attitude is good, strings is also delicious, inexpensive. Store location in the Great North Street, from the Drum Tower, the four arches has been able to find north, store telephone number is 5816564,5981278, the boss is very good. From four archway to the west is a very busy commercial street.
The next morning, because the hotel irresponsible, as well as shirking responsibility, and we with them had an argument with, looking for manager, waiter, said could not find that she did not call the manager and asked their names, they do not speak, there is no work No. In desperation, we use the camera captured them. This morning we promise that we do not eat breakfast hotels, but also gave birth to an angry, but very soon we will put a new day in a pleasant journey.
The next day's plan is to Datong volcanic group, the ancient Great Wall, Yungang Grottoes, these sites are relatively close, we are talking about chartered price is 120 yuan. The next day the car Sister Zhao's son, is a new Xiali, said Xiali better than gold. Datong District, to leave the station before we buy a ticket first, or only the upper berth. When prices come cheap, 62 1
The ancient Great Wall on the way to see a lot of the village, but the only feeling or a "dry" is full of soil. After a period of search, we found a village, I used to think that the ancient Great Wall, and up you'll see that is similar to the Fort before the same village, with high and surrounded by thick walls, but there is also said to talk to Liao at the junction where the distant mountains can be seen on the beacon. But we still have some doubts about these are really ancient Great Wall, as Zhao eldest sister had misunderstood what we mean, and she thought we were to look at Beacon, in fact, we can help Datong volcanic group, there is an extinct volcano, but because of this so-called The Great Wall with the volcano is not in one direction, and we wanted to go to Hengshan, so I gave up, which is a pity.
From Datong Yungang close, with the Datong Coal Mine in a large valley on both sides of the sea, the entire region looked gray. A look from a distance, is a very spectacular, the mountains opened a lot of shrines, the Peak there are the ancient Great Wall sites and beacon towers. Yungang ticket is 60 yuan (very worthwhile), there has developed, it confirmed that there were 20 holes, but the excavation revealed a matter of fact there are 45, but after finding out no more than 20. We use two hours away again, and then 1 hour to re-read them carefully to the essence of a few holes. Yungang Grottoes and the other difference is that almost no man-made destruction, all because this stone and geographical causes of weathering caused by many statues can be seen clear signs of wind. To see these people were those who lamented the nature's intricate skills of workers, can not avoid some broken-hearted, but compared to other places are vandalism (eg, gantry) or theft (such as Dunhuang), would have been more satisfied. But maybe because they were weathered reasons, that gives those who escaped the hostility of saboteurs and thieves bar.
Vehicle while returning to the city, first we have luggage storage at the station and Datong station with fewer people do not have much luggage storage, it is quite safe, so the price calculated in accordance with day day 3 yuan / piece, for self-help Tours of the people, this is a good way to reduce their burden. A deposit and luggage, Zhao older sister's son to help us introduce a You-side eating places, which is Shanxi specialty, we are interested can try. The place to eat noodles is "You-Noodle King" in Datong hotel next to a great facade, we do not have to worry about, not that expensive.
In the waiter's introduction, we have to eat several of them, You-face ravioli ravioli, 2 yuan / cage, a total of eight, the way sushi, is that You-face wrapped in a red and white radish strip, rolled up, with seasoning dip吃. You-face Gyu-base (behind the word locals call KUAI LAI), a 4 yuan, that is, the steamed potatoes, crumble, mix together with the You-face with You Chao, taste good, that is a bit dry. Another is to boil You-surface ge group (the first word is CUAN, locally known as CHUAN), soup, very tasty, 2 yuan / bowls, enough for two people to eat. However, they are many kinds, because we were small, we can not point too much, it is best to eat together four individuals, will be better.
After dinner, we played good car to Temple, known as the Southern Temple in Datong, from place to eat here is less than 3 km, 5 yuan by taxi, tickets 10 yuan / person, but may be repaired, a person visiting No, we are there management staff to accompany us, to open a door to a hall, where the statues are very spectacular, but the thick gray, do not see the original features and colors. Because of the small city of Datong, maps the proportion of small, If Beijing's perspective, where a map of the map, find the distance between two places super-long, but after Datong hotel right on the map to a good distance from the Temple and map comparison, we decided to walk on the map to look far for the next special Huayan Monastery, that is, Several turnings, we have 20 minutes to the next Huayan Monastery, tickets 10 yuan / person, where the museum is also a common ground, demonstrating the historical evolution of Datong. 4:10, we went to the door of the last Huayan Monastery, for fear of time constraints, and asked the person booking a few close, her answer was interesting, she said that when you could wander on what time, into a look, originally there ceremonies to commemorate the death of an old Master, and we first looked at the back of the hall, though a small temple, but the incense is very wang, just the same as Beijing's White Cloud Temple and the Lama Temple. Visit Ends We also looked at the way the activities of their ceremonies.
Come out from the Huayan Monastery have been 5:30, and look next to Commercial Street, we are wandering on foot, very lively, there are many stores, at 7 am, when we saw a string of shops, is what I said above, hi string of eight shop, there is a cafe next to it, we train 10 pm, so we plan to eat string, and then to the Internet cafe to play for a while, and then next to the hot pot, and then Ben Station.
String store owner is very enthusiastic, and we point a little something to eat, but found that the amounts were small, 10 we ate a bunch of money, but also brought baked bread pieces ready to eat in the car. So from a clean, affordable, and environment perspective, look at where we should go to eat.
Because the Internet Cafe next door does not open the door because the inspection line, so we had embarked on the direction to the railway station, by the way there's no fun to see the roadside, but in fact the distance from here to the station is not close, basically the distance from the Jianguomen to Xidan However, because we want to find other fun, so we went walking and saw a cafe, on the go, and Datong Internet cafes is 2 yuan / hour, but unfortunately, we just sit down for two minutes, their hosts on the paralyzed , so there is no way that we had to go. We are about 9 points to the vicinity of the station on the way next to a Kodate eat staple food, even if this is the place to eat is not expensive, and we only spent a total of 22 per.
After dinner, take luggage to the train station, there are several meters away from that window, then, we saw the people inside the package put the two of us took out the benefits of this is the few people at noon to see she still remembered.
9:40 start-stop, many people, Datong is also the major stations on this line, but the organization of the station is not good, we are on the bus, changing the sleeper cards children have been in bed finishing things, and from the car Only two minutes, when even one person came asked me not account for his shop, he also has strong reasons to ask me if I was on the wrong train, and the conductor came to see his ticket, shops and cars are all right, and saw there is a minute only to find him to get on the wrong car, and trips are all wrong, and we immediately opened the car, and he even used this ticket after a wicket, after a car in front of the conductor, .... but we finally are safe happy end of the trip.
The next morning returned to Beijing Railway Station, 5:30, a taxi to go home, take a bath can be straightforward, to sleep for an hour, 8:00 start time to the company. Haha, good mood.
