Hey Steemers,

Even if my first post was... quite a flop, I am continuing posting about my discoveries in Asia. 

Today's one is all about Datong 大同, a northern city in Shanxi, infamously known for the coal mining and to be one of the most polluted cities.

When I landed there, I was suprised that is no more a truth. The efforts made from the last decade if not more, has paid.

The ambiance has a taste of zen, it is everywhere.

The Huayan Temple.

What's left from "The nine-dragon" wall.

Yungang Grottoes

The hanging monastery

Datong city has the same look than Xi'an (wall, drum and bell towers), in little.

What I like more it is... quiet... peaceful...

There are almost no tourists amongst foreigners and chinese, at each escapade, the place is yours.

Seb.
