Shanhua Monastery is located in central Datong within the old city walls. It was first constructed during the Tang dynasty (618-907AD) though most of the present wooden building dates back to the 12th century. The temple houses some intricately carved Jin dynasty (265-420AD) statues and has a screen wall decorated with dragons--by Angela (2005.12)

Very lively scene at the square in front of the temple. Lots of interesting activities by the local people, dancing, singing local opera. The temple itself is not of much interest if you are not into Buddhism.
