The ancient city of Datong is filled with the hustle and bustle of life, and its ancient buildings bear the marks of the times. Shanhua Temple, Huayan Temple, Fahua Temple, the Nine Dragon Screen...all showcase the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient artisans.
This was my first time experiencing this kind of parade-style performance, and it was quite novel.
The show was excellent, with many well-crafted scenes and character introductions, and the storytelling was strong.
The entire show lasted about 80 minutes, and only the last scene was available for sitting; the rest of the show was standing. So, if you've been visiting all day and come to see it in the evening, it might be a bit tiring.
The show was quite impressive overall, but when it was crowded, it did get a bit crowded within each scene, with people crammed close together.

While it was freezing cold outside, the singing and dancing at Fantawild was ablaze with excitement. During the Spring Festival, discounted tickets were available, but outdoor attractions were closed, so only indoor ones were available. The attractions had a schedule, but due to time conflicts and locational issues, I wasn't able to experience all of them in one day. The festive atmosphere was there, and the joy of entertainment was there.
It was fun! I went on a weekday so there were probably fewer people. Over the Limit wasn't as exciting as I'd hoped. I only saw the beautiful scenery of my country once, but I didn't feel it was worth buying the express ticket. The express ticket for the Nikola roller coaster was a great value! That one gives you two laps, which is great! The light show at night was a bit rubbish, like a ghost scattering flowers in the sky.

The highlight is that it hides many national treasure-level ancient buildings such as the Yuan Dynasty murals of Yong'an Zen Temple and the Jin Dynasty brick pagoda of Yuanjue Temple. The ancient streets and alleys retain the original ecological atmosphere, and the cheap food experience is excellent when paired with authentic Hunyuan jelly and other cheap delicacies.
Many people like to go to the ancient city to turn around, but now many ancient cities have been commercialized, muddy. Yuan Ancient City is a relatively not so commercial place. It is worth your stay here. If you can stay here for one night at night, you must have made a correct choice, because the night here is extremely quiet and simple.
