The moment our eyes met, the whole world fell silent!

The breeze gently blows 🌬️ Carrying the scent of flowers and also stirring the wind chimes on the ancient temple eaves 🎐 Ding ding dang dang, as if telling a thousand-year-old story~ Strolling through the streets and alleys of Datong 🚶‍♀️ There is always an inexplicable ancient feeling rising in the heart Until you turn a corner and encounter a thousand-year-old ancient temple Only then do you understand where this feeling comes from ✨ Did you know? Datong is known as the "Sculpture Capital of China" 👑 Not only does it have the world-famous 📍Yungang Grottoes (Address: Yungang Town, Southern Suburb District, Datong City) But every corner may surprise you with stunning sculptural masterpieces Recommended check-in spots: ✅ Huayan Temple: Essence of Liao and Jin architecture, exquisite statues inside the hall ✅ Shanhuasi Temple: One of the five major Liao structures, simple and solemn ✅ Nine-Dragon Wall: The largest and oldest glazed screen wall in China (Most of these historic sites are located within Datong Ancient City and are reachable on foot~) Here, You gaze across time at the craftsmen from a thousand years ago 👁️ Time seems to freeze And the whole world falls silent...
