Datong - How A Chinese Coal City Changed Its Legacy (含中文字幕)

Known as the city of Coal, Datong, China is not your average tourist destination. It is best known because of the documentary the Chinese Mayor, which followed a leader trying to reshape his town's legacy by rebuilding Datong's old town from scratch. Datong is just a few hours from Beijing, making it the perfect spot for a weekend trip. We had mixed feelings about the old town, although the Huayan temple/monastery and Datong's new City Wall were rather impressive. Further out from Datong, the Hanging Monastery and Yungang Grottoes are some of China's most important Buddhist sites, and the real reason you come to Datong. We also discovered Datong's food culture and met many a friendly local along the way. ▶ Support us on Patreon:   / nicofilms   ▶ Help us create more videos by supporting our channel: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/weare... ▶ What we use edit our videos: https://clk.tradedoubler.com/click?p(...) ▶ Check out our full kits here: https://kit.co/Nicofilms ▶ Start your China journey now: https://www.teflcourse.net/?cu=AHJDG2... ▶ Before you travel anywhere don’t forget this: https://www.worldnomads.com/Turnstile... ▶ Follow me on Instagram:   / wearenico   ▶ For more info don't forget to check out my website https://www.wearenico.com ▶ Visual content created by Square Peg - https://www.squarepegmedia.co/ *Contains affiliate links – please note by using one of these links I will get a small commission that will not affect your price.
