About
Red Flag Square 红旗广场 Hóngqí guǎngchǎng, (8th stop on bus line 4 from train station). Evenings around the Red Flag Square are entertaining and full of locals. Although most locals are unable to speak much English they will show some interest in foreigners and be willing to play ball/'kick the shuttlecock' or similar. As always, although most Chinese who show an interest in foreigners are just curious, or genuinely want to practise English, remember that young female/male con artists may target you in Datong just as in Beijing, Shanghai and elsewhere.
