As soon as I entered Shanxi, I obviously felt that there were many railways, which were probably used to transport coal mines.

Datong was also discovered by accident. Usually, it's easy to ignore this city. I accidentally saw so many places of interest in Datong on the Internet, such as Yungang Grottoes, Huayan Temple, Shanhua Temple and Hengshan Hanging Temple. So I decided on the return direction, and I could stay in Datong for two days.

It won't be particularly far from Baotou to Yungang Grottoes in Datong, but it takes about 5 hours by car.

Fuel consumption performance: the advantage of small displacement is concentrated in the middle and low speed, and the fuel consumption performance at high speed is normal.

In Datong, this one? Angola GX, I also opened it. Are there five? Six days. Low-speed fuel consumption will be more advantageous. After all, this small displacement engine, 1.3T, focuses on urban road conditions. I wandered around Beijing for two days before leaving, and the average traffic jam of 2-30km/h was also eight oils, which was not bad for this large-size SUV.

In the end, I ran 2000 kilometers in the whole journey, and in many cases I accelerated my blessing. The fuel consumption is also 7.5L per 100 kilometers. Dear keyboard players, don't talk nonsense about the gas consumption of American cars.

Yungang Grottoes: A Shocking Treasure of Cultural Heritage

Yungang Grottoes are excavated along the mountain, extending about 1 km from east to west. There are 45 main caves, 252 caves and niches, and more than 565,438+0,000 stone carvings. It is one of the largest ancient caves in China.

Yungang Grottoes were dug in the second year of Xing 'an in the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 453), and most of them were completed before the Northern Wei Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang (AD 494), and the carving works continued until the reign of Zheng Guangnian (AD 520-525).

Yungang Grottoes vividly recorded the historical track of Macedonian-Greek classical stone carving art from the Balkan Peninsula in Southeast Europe, Indian and Central Asian Buddhism art to China Buddhism art, reflecting the process of gradual secularization and nationalization of Buddhist statues in China. A variety of Buddhist sculpture styles have achieved unprecedented mastery in Yungang Grottoes, and the resulting "Yungang Model" has become a turning point in the development of Buddhist art in China. The statues of the Northern Wei Dynasty in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes and Longmen Grottoes were influenced by Yungang Grottoes to varying degrees. ?

Yungang Grottoes are the beginning of "China-ization" of Grottoes. According to documents, in the peaceful period of the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 460-47 1 year), the famous monk Yao Tan dug five grottoes in Wuzhousai, a western suburb of Beijing, and now they are numbered 16 to 20 grottoes, which was the earliest so-called "Tan Yao Cave 5" dug at that time. Most of the other major caves were completed before Emperor Xiaowen moved to Luoyang in the 18th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 494), with a history of 1500 years. ?

In Yungang Grottoes, there are many indoor grottoes, which can't be photographed, so it can't be shown in the pictures of the article. It's a pity. It is hard to imagine that thousands of grottoes, large and small, were opened by the ancients with pure hands in one or two thousand years, which is worth appreciating here.

Volcano: I miss the Hanging Temple and punch in the location of the movie "Jianghu Children"

I had planned to go to the famous Hanging Temple, but there were already many people on the news. The scenic spot restricted the flow of people, and at least I had to wait in line for several hours to get up, so I gave up decisively.

Kong Xuan Temple was originally named Kong Xuange, while Kong Xuan originated from Taoism in China, while Kongkong originated from Buddhism. It was later renamed Kong Xuan Temple, because the whole temple was like hanging from a cliff. In Chinese, Kong Xuan and Kong Xuan are homophonic, hence the name. Founded in 49 1 year, it is a unique temple integrating Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

Datong Volcano Geopark is divided into Datong Volcano Scenic Area, Sanggan River Scenic Area and Qiulin Valley Scenic Area. There are both geological relics and cultural relics, and it is a large-scale comprehensive geological park integrating sightseeing, leisure and holiday, popular science education, scientific research and other functions.

This volcanic group is a typical relic of Quaternary crustal movement, located in the east wing of the flat and wide Datong Basin and the valley of the middle reaches of Sanggan River. It is one of the six famous volcanic groups in China and a rare natural heritage in East Asia. There are more than 30 known volcanoes. Quaternary volcanic group, the only extinct volcanic group developed on the Loess Plateau.

Datong Volcano Geopark has a large area, some of which need tickets, so it is not recommended for everyone to go. Some volcanoes are open for climbing, and the best choice is to take a walk on the nearby path.

Actually, I just want to type in the same paragraph from Jianghu Children.

Volcanoes are such volcanoes. It is one kilometer away from the city. If it is not particularly interesting, it is not recommended. There is more fun in Datong.

Datong ancient city wall: higher than Xi 'an ancient city wall.

The wall of Datong ancient city wall is rammed with "three mud", and the surface of the wall is made of brick, which is about 14m high, 2m higher than Xi 'an ancient city wall, and 16.6m wide at its widest point and 6.6m wider than Nanjing ancient city wall. There are 62 gatehouses, turrets and watchtowers on the city wall. There are four gate buildings.

Among them, the South Gate Tower is the most magnificent, which is a three-story building with a width of 6 1 m and a depth of 23.35 meters. About 40 meters away from the city wall, there is a moat with a width of 10 meter and a depth of 5 meters. There is an urn outside Gate 4, with a building area of about 17600 square meters.

In the sixth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, Datong City was severely damaged. In the Ming dynasty, ginger inlay was first removed and then rebelled. Dourgen led the army to attack Datong, which lasted for nine months. Later, because the city ran out of ammunition and food, Jiang's subordinates defected, killed Jiang, and let Dourgen enter the city. After entering the city, in order to vent his personal anger, Dourgen ordered a "massacre" and cut off the city wall by five feet. Since then, Datong City Wall has lost its former glory.

In 2008, Datong city fully implemented the historical and cultural revival and ancient city protection project, and repaired 70% of the remaining ancient city walls with bricks, so that the ancient city walls of Datong can be repaired again and presented to everyone in good condition.

Nowadays, a very prosperous commercial street has developed on the ancient city wall, and eating, drinking and having fun are as indispensable as homestays and hotels.

There are also iconic attractions such as the Drum Tower and Huayan Temple. As long as your feet are not tired, the scenery here is not repeated for a day. If you want to drive into the ancient city wall, you must plan your parking in advance. Parking spaces here are still quite tight.

Active braking: carefully distinguish between cars and pedestrians

The active safety configuration of GX in Angola is quite in place. You can see green cars and yellow pedestrian signs above the dashboard, which means you are too close to the cars and pedestrians in front. When approaching the critical point again, the vehicle will actively brake. To tell the truth, I have used half of this function in urban areas, as follows.

As you can see, this is my simulation in the traffic jam. About this distance, the system will start to remind you. When I was in Datong, it was because a two-wheeled electric car was retrograde and he didn't turn on the light. I was a little nearsighted in the morning, so I didn't see him. When it is very close, the vehicle will sound an alarm, and there will be a flashing red head-up display in front of the driver to remind you urgently (this situation is too urgent, so I didn't take pictures). Generally speaking, it is quite sincere that this level of joint venture car can be equipped with active brakes.

Summary:

Datong is less than 400 kilometers from Beijing, and it can be reached by car for more than 4 hours. The historical and cultural heritage here is also quite profound, and various historical sites are also worth visiting.

Eating habits are similar to those in Inner Mongolia. Coarse grains are one of the more representative food cultures in Datong, which are more detailed than those in other places. It is one of the best cities in Beijing and Zhou Bianyou.

Angola GX, reliability and practicality is my evaluation of Angola GX. The practicality of space and configuration is quite satisfactory at this price, and there is nothing to be picky about. In terms of power, if you suspect that it is a three-cylinder, you can see that the technology of Buick three-cylinder is quite mature. Except for the sudden acceleration and the start of the cold car, it will be a little wobbly, and the rest will not be noticed. Both power and economy are taken into account, and its fuel-saving advantage is very prominent in commuting scenes in major cities. Accompany me through this journey, Angola GX is very suitable for the post-80 s and post-90 s, and commuting every day makes you feel very comfortable. Holidays can also bring three or five intimate friends to play around, and they can also cope easily. Looking at the terminal price, there is generally a discount of 40 thousand, what kind of bicycle is needed.
