  • Yungang Grottoes, Datong, Shanxi, China
    Located at the southern foot of Wuzhou Mountain, 16 kilometers west of Datong City, Yungang Grottoes were carved into the mountain and extend about one kilometer from east to west. The 45 caves in Yungang Grottoes include some 254 niches with about 51,000 statues. Yugang Grottoes constitute a classical masterpiece of the first peak of Chinese Buddhist art. In March 1961, Yungang Grottoes was proclaimed as one of the first batch of Key Cultural Relics under the protection of Chinese State Council. In December 2001, Yungang Grottoes was included as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. In May 2007, Yungang Grottoes was proclaimed as a National AAAAA-grade Tourism Attraction of China. The expansion project in 2010 made Yungang Grottoes a world famous tourist sightseeing destination with its combination of a royal ancient Buddhist cave temple, royal garden and the complex of ancient architecture. Yungang Grottoes, with their complexity, their rich variety and vigorous features constitute a classical masterpiece as one of the three most famous Buddhist cave temples in China. The Yungang cave art represents the successful fusion of Buddhist religions symbolic art from the Buddhist Art of Gandhara (a style of Buddhist visual art that developed in what is now northwestern Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan between 1st century BC and the 7th century CE.) with Chinese cultural traditions of the Qin and Han Dynasties. The Buddhist tradition of religious cave art achieved its first major impact at Yungang, where it developed its own distinct character and artistic power.

  • Hengshan Hanging Temple (Xuankong si), Datong, Shanxi, China
    Hanging Temple is build halfway up the side of a precipitous cliff of Cuiping Peak of Hengshan Mountain. Historical records trace the construction of the origin of the Hanging Temple back 1,400 years to the later period of the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534), although much was reconstructed in the later Dynasties. Hanging Temple is constructed almost entirely of wood. There are more than 40 halls from big to small housing more than 80 sculptures. Hanging Temple has established its unique position as China’s unique and remarkable feats of architectural engineering with its characteristics of gravity-defying location, unique construction, evenly distributed and well-balanced structure.

  • Datong City Walls, Datong, Shanxi, China
    In many historical Chinese cities, the ancient city walls stand downtown, forming a spectacular combination of the past and present — of a historical relic and a modern metropolis. Datong's city walls are no exception. The ancient city wall of Datong was built in the fifth year of the Hongwu Period during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) by Xu Da, a senior general of the dynasty. In building it he utilized old ramparts of the previous Northern Wei, Tang, Liao, and Yuan dynasties. The Datong city wall has four sides, covering an area of 3.28 square kilometers. If you pay a visit to the city walls in the evening, you will see great differences between day and night. Lighting on the interval towers are switched on as night falls, creating a surreal and romantic scene.

I had a wonderful time with the guide Nancy during my 2.5 days in Datong. She arranged everything and had suggestions on where to stay and where to eat. She was flexible - when the Hanging Temple was closed due to excessive winds, she took me to see the Ying Xian Wooden Pagoda, Fogong Temple. It was snowing and she adjusted the schedule to still see as much as possible in my short time. She was also extremely knowledgeable and a great guide through the sites of Datong and the surrounding area. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour!!!

Abbiamo visto prima il tempio sospeso e poi gli yungang grottoes, partiti verso le 9 dal nostro ostello e rientrati a datong centro verso le 17:30. I posti valgono la pena e Nancy non solo parla bene inglese, ma spiega molte cose, soprattutto delle grotte yungang. Al ritorno Nancy è l'autista sono stati gentilissimi a fare una sosta alla stazione del bus per aiutarci a prendere i biglietti per Pechino, per poi portarci direttamente in centro dove volevamo cenare. Il vero valore aggiunto del tour per noi è stato quello di poter parlare con Nancy ed avere uno scambio libero con lei, cosa molto rara con un cinese nella nostra esperienza di 3 settimane in questo paese.
