Staying right inside the scenic area in Datong, adjacent to Huayan Temple—it's an absolute highlight

🌸 When planning a trip to Datong, I deliberated for a long time before choosing this cost-effective accommodation—Huazhu · Datong Mulan Pavilion Inn (Datong Ancient City Huayan Temple Branch)! 🏮 I initially thought staying at an ancient city B&B might be a hit-or-miss, but I fell in love with it the moment I checked in and extended my stay until the end of the trip! I must recommend it to all friends coming to Datong!! · 🎀 The location is simply unbeatable! 🔹 The hotel offers a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle, right on the pedestrian street. It's just a two-minute walk to Fengling Pavilion and three minutes to Huayan Temple. The ancient city walls are about a ten-minute walk away. 🔹 Downstairs, you'll find all sorts of snacks. I highly recommend it for travelers because it's incredibly convenient for eating, drinking, and having fun—no need to shuttle back and forth. Whether you're visiting attractions or trying out trendy local snacks, everything is within walking distance. · ✔ Ancient-style ambiance ✔ Peaceful retreat amidst the bustle ✔ Butler-like service 1⃣ For just over 150 RMB per person, you can stay in a Ming or Qing Dynasty-style courtyard house! With gray bricks, gray tiles, and carved wooden windows, you can see the ancient city walls and scenery by simply pushing open the window. It's a cozy, immersive time-travel experience 👘. 2⃣ The beds in the rooms are super spacious, and the decor is stylish, blending modernity with traditional Chinese aesthetics beautifully. The traditional elm furniture exudes a rustic elegance, unique and charming. 3⃣ The staff's attitude is excellent; they're always responsive. When our return trip was tight on time, they even helped deliver our stored luggage to where we were catching our ride. 4⃣ Stepping out, you're greeted by the bustling Huayan Temple Street, lively from afternoon until the wee hours. Yet, returning to the hotel feels like entering a quiet little world. I was surprised by how well the soundproofing was done; the loudspeaker advertisements from outside didn't penetrate at all. · 💓 The Xuankong Temple, Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, and Yungang Grottoes were all awe-inspiring. This trip to Datong—the food, accommodation, and sightseeing—has left me completely satisfied 💯💯💯! #travel #china #resorts
