Top Dalian Art & Culture

Sculpted mainly from tamped earth, the unspoiled Great Wall around Datong gives a very different perspective from the stone walls close to Beijing. Discover this UNESCO World Heritage Site on a door-to-door day trip from Datong. First, visit De Sheng Bao, a 16th-century fortress and garrison town; then, hike along a section of the wall lined with beacons and guard towers from Zhenchuankou.
