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

What to expect in Datong

Datong draws most Klook bookings for Tours and attraction passes, with a clear yearly rhythm: visitor numbers climb into a pronounced summer peak and fall back in winter. Expect a mix of cultural and sightseeing experiences to dominate bookings, especially around the busiest months.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Klook booking data shows June is the busiest month while February is the quietest, with demand rising through spring into a strong summer peak. Prices drift up and down across the year: past Klook data show December typically has the lowest activity prices, while February has been the priciest month on record. Travelers seeking lower prices and smaller crowds should consider December or the quieter winter months, while those wanting a lively peak-season atmosphere will find June and July busiest. Note that demand and prices do not always move in lockstep: the busiest months are in summer, but the single highest past prices were recorded in February.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most experiences in Datong on Klook are tours and attraction passes, and many travellers book about nine days ahead on average, with last-minute options still often available a day or two before. If you plan to travel in the June peak, aim to arrange key activities earlier (around the typical lead time); for off-peak trips you can be more flexible and still find good options on Klook.
