Delivery service under the ancient city wall
This time, I brought my parents to Datong for an in-depth visit to ancient architecture. I stayed at Garden Hotel Datong the whole time. Before departure, I was worried about taking the elderly on a trip and whether the service of the old hotel would not be detailed enough. However, after staying there, I realized that this hotel had infused the unique warmth and practicality of people from northern Shanxi into every unspoken detail, completely exceeding my expectations for old hotels of the same level.
Our family of three took a taxi from Datong South Station and arrived at the hotel entrance. The doorman greeted us from a distance and took the luggage in our hands and the backpack carried by the elderly person. Afraid that the elderly person would be unsteady on the steps, they reached out and helped my mother slowly enter the lobby. Even the two large bags of portable medicine and hiking poles we brought for the elderly person helped us to carry them steadily to the front desk. When checking in, the butler who was in contact with us learned that we were bringing the elderly to visit Yungang Grottoes and Hengshan. They specially upgraded us to a connecting room on a higher floor for free, arranging the two rooms adjacent to each other and avoiding the noisy area of the elevator entrance, fearing that the noise of the elevator operation at night would disturb the elderly's rest. He also handed over three handwritten "Ancient Building Tour Convenience Cards", which not only marked the best tour routes and sun proof rest spots of Yungang Grottoes, but also marked the local Daoxiao Noodles shops near the scenic spot that had a good reputation.
Not long after checking in, my mother casually mentioned that the weather in the north is too dry, and my throat itches when I sleep at night. In less than half an hour, the butler brought a humidifier and two cans of local autumn pear paste to the room, and specifically reminded us that if we feel dry at night, we should call for extra mineral water and humidifying wipes at any time. The next day we had to get up early to go to the Hanging Temple of Hengshan Mountain. We told the front desk one day in advance that we wanted to have dinner at 6:30. The breakfast area, which originally opened at 7:00, specially prepared the boiled millet gruel, soft steamed pumpkin and hot Datong Shaomai for us in advance, so that the old people would not have to go hungry to the mountain road.
On the day we finished visiting the Hanging Temple, my father accidentally sprained his foot. We called the hotel in the scenic area and when we returned, the butler had already prepared ice packs, Yunnan Baiyao, and a free wheelchair exclusively for the hotel. He pushed the wheelchair directly to pick us up at the hotel entrance, without letting the elderly person jump back to their room on one foot. In the following two days, staff members took the initiative to ask about the recovery of the elderly's foot injury every day, and even specially brought local laxatives. Even if we wanted to take a walk on the ancient city wall, staff members were arranged in advance to reserve an accessible passage for us to enter the city.
On the day of check-out, the staff helped us move all our luggage to the car in advance, fearing that we might get hungry on the way. They even packed three freshly steamed yellow rice cakes and hot boiled eggs for free, so that we could rest our stomachs on the way. As someone who travels with their family all year round and has stayed in many old hotels in cities, many of them just advertise "first-class service" in their slogans. The service of Garden Hotel Datong is better because it is not deliberate or fancy, but it has anticipated all the subtle needs of tourists that they have not expressed in advance. Next time I come to Datong to explore ancient architecture, I will definitely choose to stay here as soon as possible.Staying under the ancient city wall of Datong, this old-fashioned restaurant has caught the relaxation of slow travel in northern Shanxi
This time, I specifically took a week for an in-depth tour of Datong and booked my accommodation at Garden Hotel Datong. I had heard from friends who often come to Jinbei for self driving before that it is a well-established local hotel in Datong with a stable reputation. You can easily touch the ancient city walls when you go out, and you don't have to drag your luggage around the stone roads of the ancient city. After actually staying there, I found that it completely breaks away from the stereotype of ordinary old hotels in the north, and blends the heavy smoke and fire atmosphere of Datong ancient city into every detail of my accommodation.
I took a taxi from Datong South Station at more than 6:00 in the evening. I walked along Nanhuan East Road for 20 minutes and arrived at the gate of the hotel near the south gate of the ancient city. From afar, I could see the blue brick outline of the ancient city wall. The smell of vinegar from the nearby Daoxiao Noodles shop was blowing in the wind. When checking in, the local elder sister at the front desk was very enthusiastic. She learned that I came to visit the Yungang Grottoes and the ancient city specially. She specially arranged a high floor observation room for me. When I opened the window, I could see the cornices of the ancient city wall shining warm in the sunset. She also handed me a handwritten local shopping list, marked the old Daoxiao Noodles store and Hunyuan bean jelly stall that had been open for decades on a ten minute walk, and even marked the best entrance to the ancient city wall and the free opening period.
The first feeling when entering the room is that the space is spacious and bright, with a calm and atmospheric Chinese decoration as a whole, without redundant fancy decorations. The warm toned lights fall on the light wood colored furniture, and as soon as you enter, it dissolves the fatigue of a whole day's journey. A spacious solid wood desk is left by the window, with multiple charging sockets located on the side of the desk, eliminating the need to bend down and explore the wall. I imported the photos I just took from Yungang Grottoes into my computer and connected them to the hotel's high-speed WiFi without any lag throughout the process. The most surprising thing is that the softness and hardness of the bedding just fit the waist and back. After wandering around the grottoes for a whole day and taking tens of thousands of steps, my legs were sore and my feet were swollen. As soon as I lay on the bed, I could relax quickly. With the double-layer soundproof glass closed, the noise around the ancient city outside was almost completely isolated. Even during the weekend night market hours, I could sleep soundly until dawn.
The most worry free way to live here is to stroll, eat, and travel. It takes only five minutes to walk up to the ancient city wall of Datong, take a slow walk along the wall, and watch the entire ancient city's buildings light up in the night, which can relieve most of the fatigue of the whole day. Within a few hundred meters of walking downstairs, there are authentic northern Shanxi cuisine. In the morning, you can walk downstairs for two minutes to eat freshly cut Daoxiao Noodles and stewed soy sauce meat. After visiting Huayan Temple in the late night, you can come back with Hunyuan Bean Jelly Stall open in the alley, and you can eat a bowl of crisp, sour and hot hot bean Jelly.
The supporting details of Garden Hotel Datong are also very thoughtful, with a 24-hour self-service water dispenser that provides hot sea buckthorn juice at any time. After visiting the grottoes, you can pick up a cup of water at the door to relieve fatigue. The breakfast choices are all local specialties, such as freshly steamed yellow rice jelly and crispy Datong roasted wheat, which taste no less delicious than the old shops that have been running in the alley for over a decade. In the core area of Datong Ancient City, which is full of historical significance, finding such a well-established hotel that balances convenience and quietness perfectly is a pleasant surprise for this trip to northern Shanxi. Next time I visit the ancient buildings around Datong in depth, I will definitely choose to stay here as soon as possible.
