Join us on this great tour, to visit the charming Hanging Temple.

We also discover the beauty of the Yungang Grottoes ,boast more than 51,000 statues with the largest 17 meters high and the smallest 2 cm high.

    We booked the tour to start from 9.30am from Datong train station & back at train station at 5.30pm. 2 days before our tour, Nancy contacted us to change our return train ticket to a later timing as the waiting time at the Hanging Temple is going to be very long. We did & changed the return train to a later timing. Our guide Sara met us promptly at Datong train station. The ride to Hanging Temples was about 1hr. During the ride, Sara gave us introduction of Datong City & what we can expect for the day. When we arrived at the temple, there was indeed a long queue (estimated waiting time 2-2.5 hours!!). While in queue, Sara was worried that we will get hungry & got the convenience store to "deliver" some sausages for us. We queued for 1.5hrs to reach the base of the temple. Very beautiful temple but the climb was bit scary, definitely not recommended to someone with a weak hear :) After we came down from the temple, Sara introduced some local snacks for us to buy & eat in the car ride to Yungang Grottoes. Had a wonderful time at the grottoes with Sara's detailed explanation. Our tour ended when Sara sent us back to Datong station with ample time to have a dinner inside the train station before our train ride back to Beijing.

    Great guide. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and great English. Also found great noodle place for lunch. Unfortunately the driver stunk very badly (body odor) and the car smelled like rotten pickles the entire long drives. I had to have window down to breath and hold my nose. Tiur operator, teach your drivers basic hygiene please.

  • Fantastic tour with Nancy in Datong

    We had a wonderful day tour with Nancy as our guide. She is very knowledgeable and ensured also our safety, along with the driver. Nancy showed us the treasures in the Datong area, making our trip unforgettable.

  • Visit Datong from Beijing in 1 day is possible and worth it

    Tour of Datong from Beijing, a lever that was definitely worth it! Once at the railway station we met with great punctuality our Guide, Nancy, who welcomed us to her hometown giving us information and dive deeping us in the local history. Nancy was really friendly, time passed quickly during the journey from Datong to the "Hanging Temple." It is amazing how such a structure could have been built centuries ago! Nancy told us the story of the place, the uniqueness of the temple that houses three different but equally important cults in Chinese history. At lunch, Nancy took us to a very nice place with really good food, suggesting typical meat-filled pancakes... delicious! In the afternoon we visited the "Yungang Grottoes" and at the end of the tour Nancy took us to the city center where she greeted us giving us more advice. A 100% recommended tour, thank you again Nancy and 5 stars!
