Chunyang Taoist Temple

Chunyang Palace is the largest Taoist temple in the ancient city of Datong. The temple is divided into two sections: the western section is a garden, and the eastern section has three courtyards. Along the central axis are the mountain gate archway, Lingguan Hall, Zushi Hall, and Sanqing Hall, with side halls and kiln houses on either side. The palace buildings feature Taoist-themed murals painted by students and faculty of the Mural Painting Department of the China Academy of Art, along with folk mural artisans.

First built in the second year of the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty, and rebuilt during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The current structure dates from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China period. The Great Mosque is an example of the fusion of Chinese and Islamic architectural styles. For instance, the main prayer hall is largely in the style of Qing Dynasty architecture, but its domed roof, niches within the hall, a platform on the northwest wall, and three domed doorways in the center are typical of Arabic architecture.

Built in the Ming Dynasty, it was repaired several times in the Qing Dynasty. Unlike the drum towers in Xi'an and Beijing, the Datong Drum Tower is not built on a high platform, but rather on the ground floor in the center of the street, with a cross-shaped gate on the first floor. Climb to the top floor to enjoy a 360-degree view of Datong's ancient cityscape. There are some historical photo exhibitions of Datong within the building.

The tower was built in the early Ming Dynasty but demolished in 1951. It was rebuilt in 2015 based on survey data and historical images, although with slight changes. The bell tower is a single-eaved hip-roofed pavilion with three tiers, four stories high (two of which are hidden levels). It houses an iron bell cast in the mid-Ming Dynasty, and the tower hosts frequent bell-ringing ceremonies for blessings.

A three-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) built in the late Qing Dynasty. It is named after two Datong County magistrates who resided here during the Republic of China period.

Datong is renowned for its bronze ware production and the museum's permanent exhibition includes imitations of Shang and Zhou bronze ritual vessels, Xuande incense burners, scholar's objects, and Mongolian and Han goods made in the Datong area during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
