Datong Travel Guide: 62 reviews and 124 photos
I drove from Beijing to Datong (300Km, 4 hours). The scenery is GREAT. First there was Great wall, than reserviors, mountains, tunnels. Great experience. The highway is excellent and only the road near Great Wall is bit dangerous (lots of curves and many trucks)
- Pros:beautiful sculptures
- Cons:dusty as there are lots of coal mines
- In a nutshell:Just wonder at great creations!
