Day 6

Left for Datong, to see Yugang caves.....going by train with Chris. Will spend 1 night there then go and see the caves and so on. Datong is in all sense of the word a mining town, interesting back streets and great restuarants. Supper for Chris and I came up to Y10, this included all drinks and excellent pork noodles and some giant stuffed dumplings. Within 2 minutes of starting our supper we began to draw a crowd...it seems strange but two white men eating at a street restuarant, using chopsticks is apparently rather fascinating.

This is a picture from the train over datong, most of datong is like this, a far cry from most parts of Beijing.
