Regretting coming too late to Yungang Grottoes, a millennium-old cave in Datong, Shanxi

The cold wind slaps the face, but I don't want to leave! The North of the Great Wall in winter is quiet and solemn, Outside the cave, the cold wind is rustling, like a whisper through a thousand years. Inside the cave, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, a beam of light traces back a thousand years of memory. You will definitely be intoxicated in such an artistic conception. Watching the past millennium in winter, I feel respect. 🚶Travel guide: The distance from the ancient city is only 16 kilometers, and it is very convenient to take a bus, taxi or charter. ✅The route of Yungang Grottoes is quite simple. After buying a ticket and walking through the Buddha Avenue, you can choose to take a sightseeing car. It is recommended to take it in winter, as it is too cold to walk. Then I will talk about some features and precautions inside. ✅If you only arrange a half-day itinerary for Yungang Grottoes, it is recommended to go in the afternoon, because the grottoes are west-facing, and the afternoon light will enter the cave through the small window, which is particularly beautiful. ✅It is recommended to hire a guide for the grottoes, especially for those who have not made a strategy. After listening, you will have a sudden realization. ✅Currently, caves 1-20 are open. 16-20 are the Tan Yao Five Caves, where the essence lies. ✅There is a cultural and creative shop in the middle of the grottoes, where you can collect stamps. There is also a Northern Wei tea and food, the window is the grottoes, the atmosphere is too good. ✅If you bring a child, you can also go to the nearby Jinhua Palace National Mine Park to explore the mine.
