Reviews of Datong activities

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

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!!!

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!

What to know before visiting Datong
What to do in Datong year-round
Datong’s busiest bookings on Klook come from Tours first and Attraction passes second, so the city is best known for guided day tours and multi-attraction passes that help you see more with less fuss. Demand builds through spring and peaks in June and July, while winter and late-year months are much quieter according to Klook booking data. Use Tours for immersive local experiences and an attraction pass if you prefer planned entry to multiple sites. For travellers choosing when to visit, decide between peak-season energy and quieter discovery — Klook booking data shows when each feeling happens.
Best months to visit and price rhythm
Datong’s busiest season is early summer: Klook booking data marks June as a clear peak month and February as the trough. Prices drift through the year and the priciest month recorded on Klook was February while the cheapest was December, so demand and price don’t always move together — high demand in June comes with mid-to-high prices, while February is unusually priciest despite being one of the quietest months. If you want fewer crowds and lower typical prices, aim for December or the quieter shoulder months; for lively atmosphere, pick June–July.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Very quiet | MYR 178 |
| February | Very quiet | MYR 316 |
| March | Busier than usual | MYR 272 |
| April | Peak demand | MYR 284 |
| May | Peak demand | MYR 272 |
| June | Peak demand | MYR 304 |
| July | Peak demand | MYR 235 |
| August | Very quiet | MYR 272 |
| September | About average | MYR 264 |
| October | Quieter than usual | MYR 264 |
| November | About average | MYR 264 |
| December | Quieter than usual | MYR 174 |
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 Malaysia
Most travellers from Malaysia book ahead: on Klook the typical lead time is about 9 days ahead, and the earliest planners often book roughly 17 days out. That means you’ll usually have flexibility to lock in experiences within a week or two, but during the June–July peaks it pays to book earlier to secure popular tours. Klook booking data suggests some travellers still book last-minute (about 2 days), so if you prefer flexibility you can wait — but for peak-month favourites, book sooner. Use Klook to browse tours and attraction passes, compare typical prices and reserve the dates that match your travel pace.
