Going to Shanxi for fun, Datong and Pingyao Ancient City, which one is better?

My choice is the ancient city of Pingyao. The ticket is about 130 yuan. There are many windows on the spot where you can buy tickets. This is the financial center of the Qing Dynasty, similar to Shanghai today. There are street performances every day, and there are many scenic spots in it. Among them, the Pingyao County Government, the Museum of the Chinese Bodyguard Bureau, the Town God's Temple, and the Museum of the First Bodyguard Bureau in North China must be visited.

Choose Datong. The Yungang Grottoes are really shocking. They are one of the three major grottoes in China. In addition to the grottoes, there is also a Nine Dragon Wall and a Hanging Temple in the ancient city. They are all very good designs. If you are more interested in architecture , don't miss it here.

Both Pingyao and Datong are famous historical ancient cities. From the perspective of the ancient city walls, the ancient city of Pingyao is slightly better than Datong; in terms of historical relics, Datong may be better than Pingyao. There are Buddha statues and Xuankong Temple in the Northern Wei Dynasty here. For attractions, history buffs can choose Datong.

For two days, it is better to go to the ancient city of Pingyao. <br/>There is no need to consider traffic problems when going to Pingyao Ancient City. The scenic spots are all in the ancient city, and the time to play is just right. Datong is mainly to visit the Yungang Grottoes, half a day is enough. However, the transportation is inconvenient to go to Hengshan, Xuankong Temple, Yingxian Wooden Pagoda and other scenic spots.
