On December 15-19, 2010, I visited Datong in Shanxi Province, North China. Datong is a noted historical city, famous for the magnificent Yungang Grottoes, Zhangbi Ancient Castle, Hanging Monastery, and the nearby Pingyao ancient town. Most people think that cuisines in North China are not as delicious and delicate as those in South China. However, this trip proved us wrong. North China does have many very delicious dishes! Here are some photos. Don't envy me J, come visit China and taste the food by yourself. Visit www.chinahighlights.com for more information about China tours.
Photo 1: Pancakes. It is the typical staple food in North China. Usually people eat it with sauce, meat, garlic, and some other vegetables and dishes.
Photo 2: Tofu. Tofu in South China tastes tenderer than those in North China. See those very tiny holes? Usually South China tofu does not have holes.
Photo 3: Crystal dumplings.
Photo 4: Haha, bring on some fun. This is me on the mountain of Yanmenguan Great Wall. During our stay in Datong, it happened to be the coldest day there over the past 10 years. 15 degrees Celsius below zero! I felt the wind almost blew me away, and wrapped myself like a mummy J
