Datong's coal mines per se are located much further, away from the city, mostly in the mountains that spread North and West. More than 2000 of them lay there, some as vast as a medium sized town, some so small that it would be impossible to spot them without the wagons rusting at their entrance. China's black gold, like oil in Texas, has attracted entrepreneurs of all calibers.
