Shanhua Ancient Monastery 善化古寺
Choose Shanhua Temple if the forms and structures of Datong's religious buildings interest you enough to compare another complex. Spend time with a few halls instead of simply repeating a photo circuit. For a short stay choose between this and Huayan according to your architectural interest; for a longer stay the comparison can be the value.
