Nothing beats unwinding by the water while you're on vacation. Bring a picnic to Wenying Lake and then stay for a lovely sunset.
Wenying Lake is an ideal place to start out your day in Datong. This body of water comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other attractions like Shanhua Temple, and Huayan Temple to really experience what's on offer in the area.
