Datong, as a municipality under the jurisdiction of Shanxi Province, is located in the center of Datong Basin in the north of Shanxi Province. In the past dynasties, it has been known as “a place for military strategists to contend for, a key” and one of the famous historical and cultural cities in China and one of the nine ancient cities. In order to feel the profound history and culture, all the staff of Greatpack Materials Co., Ltd. will start this journey of visiting the past and asking the present.
Early in the morning of July 18, everyone was ready to go. Immediately go to the ancient city of Datong.
At the first stop, we arrived at Hengshan Mountain in Beiyue, located in the southeastern part of Datong, which lies between the northern plateau of Shanxi Province and the central plain of Hebei Province. Because of its precipitous natural mountain topography and geographical location, Hengshan Mountain has become an indispensable place for soldiers.
This time, we will challenge the main peak – Tianfengling, 2016.1 meters above sea level. It is known as “the North Pillar of Man and Heaven” and “the most famous mountain in the world”.
After two hours of climbing, a group of people converged on the top of the mountain. After the crew climbed the summit, everyone’s faces were filled with brilliant smiles. Although it was hard to climb the mountain, it sharpened our will and enhanced our cohesion. It’s a very meaningful activity.
At night, we come to Datong city, and visit the ancient city at night. We can feel the unique charm of the ancient city brought by the night at close range.
The next day, we arrived at Yungang Grottoes, a 5A scenic spot in the western suburbs of Datong City. As one of the four largest Grottoes in China, it has a history of more than 1500 years since the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 460).
The statues in Yungang Grottoes are magnificent and rich in content. They can be regarded as the crown of Chinese stone carving art in the 5th century A.D. and the treasure house of ancient Chinese carving art. We can’t help sighing that the grotto sculpture and the exquisite statue skills of the ancients have shocked us.
As a manufacturer of fire sleeve, we are determined to provide customers with high-quality services, but also pay attention to the dissemination of corporate culture within the company. Through this visit to ancient times, we have broadened our horizons and condensed our spirit, which is a very meaningful activity.
