Shan Xi Trekking Adventure Route datong 4D

Duration4 Days
Difficulty 2 stars
Datong, historically known as Pingcheng and Yunzhou, is a junction connecting northern nomadic peoples and central plains agricultural peoples. It has always been an important region for economic, trade and cultural exchanges between ethnic groups, and such exchanges and integration among ethnic groups are precisely the mainstream of history. Especially after the Northern Wei Dynasty moved its capital to Pingcheng, it opened the prelude to large-scale ethnic integration here. During the Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties, Datong, as an auxiliary capital, also played an important role and left many cultural relics and historic sites.
