There is a moat around the ancient city wall of Datong to resist the threat of foreign invasion. The previous strategic deployment is relatively restored! The sky is blue and the air is good! You can walk on the wall, or rent a bike to see the scenery ~ it's good to climb up and look far! Sometimes there are some art exhibitions under the city wall, which can be visited for free! It's still quite interesting!

Attractions Introduction Datong Ancient City Wall is located in the central area of Datong, with an area of 35,000 square meters and a square outline. The existing city wall was built by Xu Da, a general of Ming Dynasty, on the basis of the old cities of Wei, Tang, Liao, Jin and Yuan. The wall is 14m high, 12m wide at the top, 18m wide at the bottom and 7.2km in circumference. There are four main city gates, namely, the East Gate Heyang Gate, the South Gate Yongtai Gate, the West Gate Qingyuan Gate and the North Gate Wuding Gate. At the same time, there are moats, suspension bridges, towers, watchtowers, moon towers and watchtowers.
The best time to visit the city wall ① In the early morning, before the sun comes out, you can watch the sunrise on the city wall and exercise by the way.
Generally only autumn and winter. Compared with summer, the sun comes out too early and you don't open the door. No picture, because I can't get up, I haven't seen the sunrise on the wall ...)
② Sunset. It is after 7 pm in summer and around 6 pm in winter.
On the wall, from the south gate to the middle, the sky slowly clears up, just like magic. In an instant, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and the blue sky and white clouds had a panoramic view. Coupled with the irradiation of the sunset, the whole wall becomes particularly beautiful, and the photos taken do not need to be refined.
When night falls, it has a special taste. Walking along the ancient city wall with the sunset, visitors can feel the ancient charm and customs brought by this ancient cultural capital. The moon rises, the lights of the ancient city begin, and the whole city is shrouded in moonlight and lights, which complement each other and are beautiful.
