Written by Nelly Train ride from Beijing to Datong We arrived Datong yesterday around 4:40 pm. The weather is much cooler and drier in Datong. We were happy to finally leave our horrible hostel in Beijing (can't wait to do a review on them on hostelworld.com). The train ride from Beijing to Datong was about 7 hours and only hard seats or hard sleepers. We took hard seats and that was quite an experience. Jesse had a harder time on the train because he sat next to an old man who hogged the sea...

... you climb in) and continue.<br>The monaster is made of wood, 3 stories, stands on wooden pillars, which stand on rocks shelves. Very nice.<br>I returnt at 14:30, wanted to go to the caves, but the CITS directions were not understood well.<br>I went to the hotel - no room, so I changed: the street near the railway has many hotels, I choosed one with many tourists.<br><br>15/10<br>The Yuan(?) Caves: very nice. the whole hill side is ...
Datong, Shanxi, China rivkapi... an embarrassing tantrum. Luke tried to pay the driver with our negotiated fee however he seemed to feel it was not worth it without the entrance fee. Then he began to argue that the entrance fee in fact should cover 3 people: himself along with Luke & I. Luke took his money and placed on the ground for the drive to take as he was obviously not going to take it from Luke. We began to walk away but this enraged the driver even further and he ran in ...
Datong, Shanxi, China yyztrvlr... br><br>On vous a pas encore dit, mais la chine, c'est une foret de grues. Il y a tellement de gratte-ciels en construction, c'est incroyable. Depuis Shanghai on a du voir au moins 500 (j'exagere vraiment pas) buildings en construction, tous de taille comparable a place ville marie ou la tour IBM. Et ils ne construisent jamais un building seulement. Pourquoi en construire un quand on pourrait en contruire 10? Alors partout, quand on se promene en train, on voit des gros ...

Datong, Shanxi, China blummo... meli nohy ochozene az na kost, tudiz jsme moznost umyti dost uvitali. Cekani v pohode ubehlo a my se nalodili na vlak do Taiyuanu. Mesto samo o sobe je docela dira. Zda se, ze cela Shanxi je obecne chudsi kraj s vyssi nezamestnanosti. A znacne spinavejsi nez jina mista. Nicmene koupili jsme mapu a vyrazili. Na wikitravel jsou doporucene pametihodnosti, ktere udajne stoji za to. Podle meho nic moc, nejvetsi zajimavosti mesta je totiz historicky stred, ktery tvori hutongy, tj ...
Datong, Shanxi, China masovy_kasparek... on this class. We hauled our backpacks up onto the overhead luggage racks and settled in for a long, cold and uncomfortable night. We were to travel by train at night and explore the cities during the day - buying each ticket as we got to the next destination. This was a feat in itself with long unorganised queues of people and with ticket sellers that spoke little English - we wrote our requirements in Chinese and just passed over the ...

Datong, China eddakath... it or not my vegetable salad was the best I have had since arriving in China over three and a half years ago. The salad dressing also tasted real! MMMmmm now that I am not leaving Datong for Hohot tomorrow morning I think I will take Luo Wei there for dinner tomorrow night! That is if she is awake, by that time she would have been on trains and busses for around fifteen hours in a ...
Datong, China eddakath... When the wind blows, the little bells make sweet sounds, which also add spice to your tour. What's more, the large Buddha statues hosted in the Wooden Pagoda show different countenances and postures, and display a very high level of craftsmanship. The statue of Sakyamuni of the 1st floor stands at the height of 11 meters is particularly impressive. If look up ...
