XINJIN TAO

I had the luxurious knife-cut noodles, which were so generous in portion that even I, who don't really like noodles, praised their appearance. I highly recommend the classic minced meat version, which comes with egg, dried tofu, and pickled vegetables, saving you the trouble of adding extra ingredients.

Datong 2-Day Travel Guide | Unlocking the Past and Present of a Millennium Ancient City 🏯 Introduction: Exploring this understated millennium city of Datong and exploring the secret Buddhist land in two days definitely exceeded my expectations! I thoroughly enjoyed my three must-see spots and even discovered a delicious noodle shop! Highlights: 🏮Huayan Temple | China's most complete surviving Liao and Jin dynasty temple. Arrive before 7:00 PM to witness the stunning sunset over the Golden Dome (Huayan Road, Datong, Jinzhong). Be sure to see the "Oriental Venus" in the Bhagavataka Hall; it's truly breathtaking! 🏛Shanhua Temple | A national treasure-level building, free to visit, retains architectural structures from the Liao and Jin dynasties. The most stunning feature is the Ming dynasty murals in the Main Hall. Admire the artistry up close and you'll be truly impressed (No. 5 Shanhua Street, Datong, Jinzhong). 🍜Xijindao Noodle House | A must-see after visiting Huayan Temple! The knife-cut noodles are chewy and rich in gravy. The signature dish is the mutton sauerkraut noodles (Huayan Temple Square). Practical Tips: 1. It's recommended to visit Huayan Temple and Shanhua Temple on the same day, both are a 15-minute walk away. 2. The ancient city wall is next to Shanhua Temple, so you can stroll along in the evening to watch the sunset. 3. The noodle shop gets very busy at noon, so it's recommended to eat during off-peak hours. #ShanxiTravel #AncientArchitectureTour #BuddhistTravel #CarbohydrateHappy #DatongFood
