Pingyun Bieyuan (Ancient City Wall)

A characterful stay in Datong

Pingyun Bieyuan sits in the northern part of Datong’s old town, close to the city walls and Kuixing Tower. This guesthouse suits travellers who prefer staying in the historic centre rather than in a large modern hotel. Its location allows you to start exploring the old town on foot straight from the property.

The nearby city walls are one of the main reasons to choose this address. Prince Dai’s Mansion is also in the surrounding area. The appeal lies in exploring Datong’s streets on foot, then returning to a property arranged around an inner courtyard. The setting feels more intimate than a chain hotel.

Rooms combine contemporary comfort with modern amenities. Selected categories include a projector, refrigerator and smart toilet, while family suites provide more space. One detail deserves attention: several room types are on the lower-ground level, listed as B1, even when they have a window. If natural daylight matters to you, choose a room on an upper floor.

Breakfast is available on site, and the property also has a tea room. We would choose this guesthouse primarily for its old-town location and courtyard setting. It suits couples and families who want to explore the historic centre on foot, provided they select a room category that matches their preferences.
