Yunzhong Inn is a boutique courtyard-style B&B located on Gulou West Street in Datong's ancient city, Shanxi. Quiet yet central, it's within walking distance of Huayan Temple, the Nine-Dragon Wall, Chunyang Palace, the Drum Tower, Shanhua Temple, Guandi Temple, and the Confucian Temple.
The main courtyard features an antique gatehouse with an old "Inn" plaque, plus flowers, fish tanks, and seating for relaxation. The reception hall has painted beams, a solid wood desk, and a lounge area divided by antique wood carvings.
Surrounding the main courtyard are 18 Chinese-style rooms blending tradition and modernity. Each room has unique colors, patterns, lighting, paintings, ornaments, and bathroom decor, accented with the owner's collection of calligraphy, paintings, wood carvings, stone carvings, and brick carvings.
Datong is a famous historical and cultural city and one of China's nine ancient capitals. Founded over 2,400 years ago, it served as a key commandery under Zhao and Qin, a stronghold in the Han, the capital of the Northern Wei, an accompanying capital in the Liao and Jin, and a major military town in the Ming and Qing.

"I had an amazing stay at Yunzhong Traditional Courtyard in Datong! This hidden gem offers a traditional Chinese courtyard experience with a cozy and authentic vibe. The location is ideal—just a short walk from Huayan Temple and Nine Dragon Wall. The rooms were immaculately clean, making it easy to relax, especially after staying at a larger hotel that wasn’t as spotless. The bathroom amenities were incredible—featuring a wooden comb, two electric toothbrushes, Sensodyne toothpaste, a high-quality nail clipping set, a shoehorn, Listerine, and lingerie soap, all beautifully packed in an embroidered red pouch, free of charge. Breakfast was delicious, with a carefully prepared set menu. The thousand-year congee was unbelievably good! The hotel even has a small exhibition room, adding to its charm. There's no complaint on anything here. It's all perfect to me! Overall, Yunzhong Traditional Courtyard is a fantastic blend of tradition, comfort, and thoughtful hospitality—highly recommend it!"
