顺意凉粉(鼓楼东街总店)

It's super delicious, no need to say, you must try it. Highly recommended!

The taste is good, the environment is average, and it is an authentic Datong specialty.

【Datong Autumn/Winter Limited-Time Activities】Enjoy knife-cut noodles and visit the Hanging Temple in this ancient capital – this guide will make you laugh even while freezing! 😍❄️🏯🍜🚗 【City Impressions】 Datong is truly a hidden gem in Northern China! Located in the northernmost part of Shanxi, it was once the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and you can still see many historical sites. In November, the ancient city walls, adorned with golden leaves, offer cinematic snapshots. Plus, there aren't many tourists this season, allowing for a leisurely stroll and delicious food. ✨📸🍂🛕🎑 【3-Day Itinerary】 DAY 1️⃣ 🌞Morning: Start at 8 am with hot mutton shumai at Longjuxiang Shaomai Restaurant – thin wrappers, generous fillings, and bursting with juice! Then head to the Datong Ancient City Wall. The ancient city is especially photogenic in the morning light this season, and best of all, it's completely free! 😋📷🆓🌅👏 🕛Noon: Head straight to Fenglinge at 12 noon! Their Hundred Flower Shaomai is so beautiful you almost don't want to eat it! After lunch, stroll over to Huayan Temple. The murals in the Liao and Jin dynasty temples are absolutely stunning. Remember to bring hand warmers, as it's even colder inside the main hall than outside! 😂🍤🎨🧊🤧 🌙Evening: Arrive on Gulou East Street at 6 PM sharp. The lanterns lighting up instantly transports you back to ancient times! I highly recommend the chili oil from Shunyi Liangfen (a type of cold noodle shop); it's so fragrant you'll want to buy ten bottles! After dark, go to the city wall to see the light show. Remember to wear a down jacket—don't ask me how I know! 🏮🌃🧥💨👑 DAY 2️⃣ 🌞Morning: Head off at 7 AM to the Hanging Temple! I recommend booking a day tour through Ctrip; it includes pick-up and drop-off and a guided tour. Standing on the cliffside temple, your legs will be shaking, but the scenery is absolutely worth the ticket price! ⚠️⚠️Please remember to book your tickets in advance!🚌🙏⛰️😱 🕛Lunch: Enjoyed "Little Wife's Cold Noodles" in Hunyuan County. The smooth noodles paired with crispy lotus seeds were so delicious I could eat three bowls! Then, took the cable car to Hengshan Mountain. The colorful forests were breathtaking. Remember to wear a scarf; the wind at the summit is incredibly strong!🍜🚡🌲💨🧣 🌙Evening: Returned to the city at 5 PM and headed straight to Zini 369 Coarse Grain Restaurant. The yellow millet cake and mutton offal hot pot were both warming and comforting. After dinner, strolled along the antique street and bought some cloth tigers as souvenirs. Try to bargain down to half price! 🦁🎁💃🍶🔥 DAY 3️⃣ 🌞Morning: Visited Yungang Grottoes at 9 AM. I highly recommend hiring a guide; otherwise, you won't understand how amazing these thousand-year-old Buddha statues are! The Buddha statue in Cave 20 was truly breathtaking, giving me goosebumps! 🙌🛕👀📿👍 🕛Lunch: Had some Erban knife-cut noodles at the entrance of the scenic area. Watching the chef cut noodles on the spot was so cool! In the afternoon, went to the Datong Museum. Remember to bring your ID to exchange for tickets; the dinosaur exhibit is perfect for taking photos! 🦕🍜🎫📸💯 🌙Evening: Went to Kaige Restaurant at 5 PM. It truly lives up to its reputation as the largest restaurant in North China! The braised pork and the fried chicken are must-orders; they even offer half portions, which is super thoughtful! Finally, bought some dried apricots to eat on the way—a perfect ending! 🐔🎉🛍️✈️🎊 【Must-Visit List】 ✅Hanging Temple: Open 8:00-17:30. A separate ticket is required to climb the walls. We recommend taking photos while holding onto the railings; they'll get tons of likes on social media! 👍 ✅Yungang Grottoes: 9:00-17:00. Be sure to see the Music Cave. Remember to secretly touch the thousand-year-old stone walls to feel the historical atmosphere! 🪕 ✅Huayan Temple: 8:30-18:00. The relics in the underground palace are sparkling. Making a wish with your hands clasped is incredibly effective! ✨ ✅Datong Ancient City Wall: Free all day! We recommend exploring by bicycle; the silhouette photos at the crenellations are absolutely stunning! 🚴 ✅Fengling Pavilion: The decor is like a palace, even the restrooms are tourist-grade! The filling for the shumai is made fresh daily, so go late and they'll sell out! 👑 【Accommodation Recommendation】 🏨Datong Golden Land Grand Hotel: The largest five-star hotel in the area, rooms have underfloor heating! Unlimited refills of knife-cut noodles for breakfast, plus stunning night views of the ancient city while soaking in the bath – an absolute steal at 200+ RMB per person! 🌟🛏️🍜🌃💵 【Transportation Guide】 🚌Public transportation is super convenient! Take bus 38 within the ancient city to most attractions, and bus 3 goes directly to Yungang Grottoes. Taxi fares start at only 7 RMB, but be extremely difficult to hail a taxi during the 4 PM shift change! 😤 【Tips from the Heart】 💡The November winds are fierce enough to blow away even the skinny! Bring a hat and scarf! 💡Toilets are scarce at the Hanging Temple, so remember to use them before climbing the mountain. 💡Restaurants are typically very salty, so remember to ask for less salt when ordering. 💡The steps at Huayan Temple are icy and extremely slippery, so don't wear flat shoes! 【Food Feast】 🍜Knife-cut noodles: The noodles look like little fish swimming in the soup, and the aroma of aged vinegar is irresistible! 🍲Lamb Offal Rice Noodles: The milky white broth simmers gently, so comforting and warming, plus free refills! 🌮Hundred-Flower Shaomai: So beautiful you almost don't want to eat it, the shrimp filling is so fresh it'll make your eyebrows fall off! 🍯Yellow Millet Cake: Dipped in osmanthus honey, it's pure bliss; even more chewy when chilled! 🥛Hunyuan Cold Noodles: The chili oil is fragrant but not overpowering, and the broad beans are so crunchy they'll make your head spin! 【Expense Breakdown】 Accommodation for two nights: 400 RMB per person; attraction tickets: 350 RMB total; food: 100 RMB per day (enough to eat until you're stuffed); transportation: 50 RMB; souvenirs: 100 RMB. Total: 900 RMB for a fantastic trip! It's already below freezing in Datong at night, but the hot knife-cut noodles and the tranquility of the ancient temples are definitely worth it—you'll want to bundle up like a dumpling! Remember to bring plenty of hand warmers; you'll thank me when the wind makes your eyes water on the Hanging Temple! 🤣 #DatongTravelGuide
