Not really much to say, it’s a wall with 9 dragons ceramic on it. The wall is not original, the dragons appear to be. It’s free admission, in a nice little park, there are washrooms and a little gift shop. The Shanhua Monastery down the road has an almost identical wall with 5 dragons on it. Go have a look, get some photos and then 10 minutes later go see something else.

Nine Dragon Screen
I feel you can find this place almost in every place. You can stay or only to have quick 15 minutes visit. This time was free of charge. Walking distance inside city wall Datong.

Historical important - but not that amazing
This is a place you stop by if you are in the area (then I will recommend it), but not worth a long drive if Chinese Dragons and their history are not important to you. This is an important Chinese historical place (if I remember right one of three important dragon walls). The dragons her are made for a prince and therefore the feet sand body are different than the dragons protecting the Emprior. The location is however not that well preserved and great.
