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.

I'm a foreigner non-Chinese speaker, but I still booked this chinese language tour anyway because going to these places without a private car and as a solo traveler is too much of a hassle. The travel consultant, Maggie, was very polite and friendly. The planning went smooth and she answers all questions quickly. Meanwhile, our guide, 彭瑜晏, was very patient with me and assisted me all throughout the tour. She even managed to buy me tickets for entering the Hanging Temple. All in all, I enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it to everyone!

Transportation: The private tour for 3 people was a 5-seater SUV, which was very comfortable, and the vehicle was also very new! Itinerary: The itinerary was quite reasonable. Whenever there were changes or modifications needed along the way, the on-trip manager communicated and handled them promptly, making it a completely hassle-free experience! Accommodation: For our stay in Datong, we chose the Songtsam Hotel, and it was simply breathtaking!!!

Temple is spectacular but not much else to do there if you don’t get the climbing ticket (which is very limited) so how worth is it really depends how much time you have in Datong to accommodate all the driving around between the attractions.

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

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!

General info
What to know before visiting Datong
What to do in Datong year-round
Datong’s top activities on Klook centre on tours and attraction passes, with Tours leading by booking volume and longer ticket ranges. The city’s demand rises and falls through the year: Klook booking data show a strong summer peak in June and a deep lull in February. That rhythm means the big sightseeing circuits and guided tours dominate in the busy months, while quieter months suit slower discovery and fewer crowds. For travellers weighing timing and atmosphere, pick between lively peak-season energy and relaxed off-peak sightseeing — Klook booking data help you plan which fits your travel mood.
Best months to visit and price patterns
Klook booking data show the busiest stretch in June, with demand climbing through late spring into summer, and the quietest month in February. Prices across the last 12 months drift up into early year highs: the priciest month in the series is February while December is the lowest. Where demand and price move together, expect June’s busy feel with higher typical prices; where they diverge, December offers lower prices despite quieter crowds. For lower prices and smaller crowds pick December or February; for peak-season atmosphere aim for June and the late-spring months.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Very quiet | AUD 66 |
| February | Very quiet | AUD 116 |
| March | Busier than usual | AUD 100 |
| April | Peak demand | AUD 105 |
| May | Peak demand | AUD 100 |
| June | Peak demand | AUD 112 |
| July | Peak demand | AUD 87 |
| August | Very quiet | AUD 100 |
| September | About average | AUD 97 |
| October | Quieter than usual | AUD 97 |
| November | About average | AUD 97 |
| December | Quieter than usual | AUD 64 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers book ahead: on average Australians lock experiences in about 9 days ahead, while the earliest planners book around two and a half weeks out. That makes Datong easy to arrange at short notice, but the summer peak in June is when booking earlier pays — popular tours fill up faster then. Use Klook to compare typical prices and secure spots on guided tours or attraction passes; flexible travellers can wait for last-minute deals, while those visiting in peak months should book sooner on Klook to avoid disappointment.
