Old city - Famous Buddhist caves Short after the Transsiberian Train reaches the lower plains after descending from the Gobi-Desert the station of Datong lies in the middle of coal mines and fruit plantations. The old part of the city - I hope - still exists with a city wall, narrow streets and temples. From Datong you can easily reach the Buddhist caves of Yungang, which lies 16km from Datong. I visited Datong in 1988 - many things have changed since then! |
