Things to do in Datong

Had a great trip! Our guide, Xiao Hou, was knowledgeable and also managed to group and itinerary well. Just to note that those above 60 years old have their entrance fee waived, and are unable to ascend the hanging temples.

cool tour to see and experience the hanging temple but the guide could have been clearer on the transport options for diff groups at the end of the tour as diff groups went for diff itinerary.

A fascinating day trip with a great tour guide! We'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you once again to Alice, who guided us through the temple and grotto complex with such enthusiasm and information. The transfer to and from the train station also worked out very well! Responses on WeChat were always immediate, and all concerns were addressed! In short: highly recommended!

my ticket was for 2:30pm but I managed to get in at 12:30pm with my passport (as per usual practice in China). good luck & I hope u get in too! there were still tour groups entering at 4:30+ so it probably closes quite late
