Since I left Beijing I have not bad move. The first day I took a night train hard seats Datong direction - I did not sleep at night is absolutely uncomfortable, there are people who sleep on the floor, noise constantly, the car smoked and so on. The next day I spent the day I visited Datong or caves with Buddhist statues dating back over 1500 years, impressive. Then I descended into a coal mine still in operation, the visit was as interesting as the discovery of this mining town truly representative of the time when communism was still a reality with propaganda at all street corners. The same evening I took an overnight train in sleeper this time much more comfortable to Pingyao, a small town packed with history, very nice, I spent two days and one night: bike rental, visit Many sites, good little party yesterday and then a bit of rest did me good. Then last night, another night train to Xi'an where I've come and gone before I went to Luoyang where I am tonight. Luyang is a city of 6 / 7 million inhabitants as Datong but unlike the latter much better. In the coming days I think going to the Shaolin temple, the Mecca of Kung Fu, then Kaifen, always in the Henan region before returning to Xi'an by three days to visit the soldiers Taracotta. So the program is loaded, I get used to being looked up and down by everyone I meet, I alternate as cities or tourist I meet a lot of "Western" and non-tourist towns or I do not see one white. In all cases it's super rewarding and I thoroughly enjoyed.
