Guard the border and play the song of prosperity-to play my favorite car, Roewe RX5!

It is said that this is the "one axis and two cities" ancient city that was restored in 2008. Magnificent momentum! I wonder if the ancient city wall in Xi 'an can be compared with it. Walking on the ancient wall of Datong, looking at the inside and outside of the wall, the blend of simplicity and modernity is so perfect and spectacular. Really convincing! I have seen many city walls, and the complete city walls have only been seen in Xi 'an and Datong. The walls of Xi 'an are very magnificent. Although Datong is a little small, it has distinctive features and great personality.

On the wall, when I started to walk from the south gate to the middle, the sky slowly cleared up, just like magic. In an instant, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and the blue sky and white clouds had a panoramic view. In addition, the whole wall is particularly beautiful against the setting sun, so the photos of the wall I took don't need retouching, so I wandered all the way to the sunset and refused to get off the wall, all the way from the south gate to the east gate.

At this moment, I have to think of a sentence: Xijing locks the key and casts a thousand years of glory; Guard the border of the important town and play the song of prosperity.

Datong was the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was also the capital of the imperial court during the Liao and Jin Dynasties. The walls around the ancient city were very high. But because it was a rammed earth wall, most of it was damaged later. Since 2008, Datong has fully implemented the historical and cultural revival and ancient city protection project, and restored 70% of the ancient city walls with bricks to reproduce the face of Datong ancient city.

The existing Datong ancient city wall is square, with a wall height of 14m, an upper width of 12m, a lower width of 18m and a circumference of 7.2km..* * * There are four main city gates, namely Heyangmen in the east, Yongtaimen in the south, Qingyuan Gate in the west and Wuding Gate in the north. There are towers above the four doors, and the moon tower, watchtower and turret stand at intervals. Outside the four gates, there are the urn city, the moon city and the moat. A major feature of the city wall is that its outline is like a gear, the pier is prominent, and it is a trapezoidal structure, which is a special shape of Datong city wall fortification.

My station wagon is Xiaowu.

Why is there so little pasta here when you come to Datong?

It's a pity that I haven't eaten in Datong Road.
