[quote=DAISY ,2044]Will you want to visit the Yanmne Pass, the famous one of Great Wall's passes, as important as the Jiayu Pass and Shanhai Pass. But I don't think it deserves your visit, because it is not well-preserved as the two passes mentioned above. What you will see is just the ruin after the history's erosion, and what you will feel is the dreariness.If you go to Datong, I will strongly recommend the Yungang Buddhist Grottoes (Yungang shiku). It is not the city's sights, however, but the areas outside that are of deep cultural interest. Obvious in this category is the Yungang Buddhist Caves, that is of comparable beauty only with its cousins in Dunhuang, Luoyang and Tianshui. This 1km cave complex holds over 50,000 statues. The other main sight, that can be done on a CITS tour with the Yungang Grottoes, is the Hanging Monastery, that clings to a rockface of the sacred Hengshan mountain range. An inventive architectural design, an innovative religious mixture and some incredible gorge views make this monastery fantastic.[/quote]
