General presentation
Yingxian et pagode de bois
A millennial pagoda and rural temples form a major step between Datong and Mount Wutai.
The discovery of Yingxian and wood pagoda revolves around Yingxian Wood Pagoda, Jingtu Temple and Yingxian Old Town. The stay thus alternates between the heritage and the countryside, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
