Fantastic 5.0
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.

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.

What to know before visiting Datong

Destination overview — what to expect in Datong

Datong is a historic city where tours and attraction passes dominate Klook bookings, with most visitors drawn to cultural sights and guided experiences. Demand on Klook rises and falls through the year, with a clear summer peak and quieter pockets in late winter.

When to visit — best months for crowds and prices

Klook booking data show demand peaks in June and drops to its lowest point in February. Prices move through the year too: according to Klook data, December is typically the cheapest month for activity prices, while February is typically the priciest. For travellers seeking lower prices and smaller crowds, December and the surrounding winter months are usually a good bet; if you want the peak-season atmosphere and busier summer energy, plan for June and July. Note that demand and price don’t move in perfect sync here — the busiest month (June) is not the single priciest month (February), so you can find lower prices outside the absolute peak.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most visitors from Malaysia typically book about nine days ahead, with a common last-minute window of around two days and earlier planners booking roughly 17 days out. If you’re flexible, many tours and attractions in Datong can be confirmed shortly before travel, but for travel in the busiest months (June–July) consider locking in plans a week or two earlier to secure preferred time slots. Use Klook to compare available tours and attraction passes and pick options that match your schedule and budget.
