The country has entered the dog days, and now it is also the middle of summer of the year, and many cities across the country have opened the "barbecue" mode.
From Beijing in the north, Guangzhou in the south, Xi'an and Urumqi in the west, Chongqing in the southwest, Hangzhou and Nanjing in the east, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, Nanchang and so on in the middle, almost all the key cities in the country have entered the hottest time.
When it comes to ancient capitals, the more famous ones are Beijing, Nanjing, Xi'an, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Anyang, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Zhengzhou, and Datong.
The ancient capital is the location of the city as the capital of a dynasty or regime in history, and there have always been four ancient capitals and six ancient capitals, and now the real sense is the above ten ancient capitals.
Today we will talk about a more interesting phenomenon, that is, the weather, which ancient capital has a pleasant climate and is suitable for summer vacation?
I checked the weather in these ten ancient capitals recently, and almost all of them were above 35 °C, although Datong also had a temperature of more than 30 °C, but overall it was not much.
One of the cities that is very cool is Datong.
Datong? Make no mistake, isn't this a coal-producing place in Shanxi? How can it be associated with words like "summer escape" and "cool"?
This may be the public's misunderstanding of Datong, what kind of city is Datong? Let's start with a brief understanding.
Datong, also known as China's coal capital, is the second largest city in Shanxi, a provincial sub-central city, and an important comprehensive energy base, it is one of the largest coal energy bases in China, with a coal-bearing area of 632 square kilometers.
In the 80s of the last century, Datong was called "the world's three major coal capitals" along with the Ruhr of Germany and the Donbas of the Soviet Union.
Datong is really an energy-based city, but Datong is also an authentic summer city, Datong City is located in the temperate continental monsoon climate zone, affected by the monsoon, the four seasons are distinct.
The average temperature in Datong in summer is 26°C, and with the "cool advantage", Datong has become a popular "check-in place" for summer vacation.
Datong, backed by the vast Inner Mongolia, deeply influenced by the Mongolia Plateau, whenever the summer night comes, the cool cold air quietly flows in like a clear spring, as if it is the outdoor air conditioning given by nature, making the night here particularly pleasant, the temperature only hovers around 15 °C, which makes people feel happy.
In 2023, at the press conference of China's summer tourism development report, Datong City was rated as the "2023 Summer Tourism Preferred Destination", becoming the only city in Shanxi to be rated as the "Summer Tourism Preferred Destination".
Previously, Datong City has been jointly rated as "China's Summer Tourism City" by the Asia-Pacific Environmental Protection Association and other institutions for five consecutive years.
Datong is located in the golden north latitude 40 ° line, negative oxygen ion enrichment, 1000 meters high altitude is the most suitable for human habitation, the average relative humidity is maintained at a comfortable 50%, "Datong blue", "Datong green" and "Datong clear", making the city more cool and comfortable.
As the "coolest ancient capital", the "ancient" of Datong also lives up to its name.
However, Datong also has an identity, that is, the ancient capital.
Datong City is one of the first batch of national historical and cultural cities, which was once the southern capital of the Dynasty and the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the capital of Liao, Jin and the early Yuan Dynasty.
In Datong, you can see historical relics everywhere, and while feeling cool, you can also experience the charm of the ancient capital, which is really very comfortable and leisurely.
Yungang Grottoes, now has a history of more than 1,500 years, excavated by the mountain, the scale is magnificent, stretches for about 1 kilometer, is one of the largest grottoes in the mainland, and Dunhuang Thousand Buddha Caves, Luoyang Longmen Grottoes and called China's three major grotto art treasure house.
The Hanging Temple, an amazing architectural miracle, does not see the sky and does not touch the ground, and calls it "a combination of fairy mountain pavilions and high artistic value." ”
The ancient city of Datong, whether it is the Drum Tower, the Daiwang Temple, or the Fahua Temple, the Four Archways, you can feel the strong historical atmosphere.
There are poems:
"The world is like the capital,
The north and south lines are the center.
East, west, north and south connect thousands of families,
Yin and yang gossip accounts for it. ”
The central axis of the ancient city of Datong is the central axis of the city that has not changed for more than 2,300 years.
In addition, Datong also has one of the five mountains of Beiyue Heng Mountain; The Great Wall of Datong was built in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period; Huayan Temple, a Liaojin temple complex with an earlier and more complete preserved age in China; Shanhua Temple was built in the Kaiyuan period of Tang Dynasty; Another typical representative of ancient glazed architecture is the Nine Dragon Wall and so on.
The underground cultural relics look at Shaanxi, the above-ground cultural relics look at Shanxi, and the Shanxi cultural relics are headed by Datong.
For such a cool ancient capital, it is worth coming here to escape the heat in summer.
