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!!!

The ticket is fine, but the problem is that to enter the temple, an additional ticket is required, which is not included in the original admission. Otherwise, it's good, no issues.

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

Quick facts about Datong
General info
What to know before visiting Datong
What to expect in Datong
Datong is best known for its immersive Tours and local Attraction passes, with Tours dominating booking volume and longer, experience-led itineraries. Demand follows a clear yearly rhythm: Klook booking data shows a concentrated high season in June when interest peaks, and a pronounced low in February when bookings drop sharply. Expect the city to feel busiest around June and noticeably quieter in February. For travellers deciding when to go, pick between peak-season atmosphere or a quieter, more flexible visit — each has its trade-offs according to Klook booking data.
Best months to visit Datong
Klook booking data marks June as the busiest month, with demand peaking, while February is the quietest month of the year. Prices move through the year too: the data shows the priciest month as February and the lowest median price in December. That means crowding and pricing don't always match—June is busiest but not the most expensive, while February is quiet yet shows the highest median price on Klook. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, consider December or January; for lively atmosphere and peak events, travel in June.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Very quiet | PHP 2,616 |
| February | Very quiet | PHP 4,638 |
| March | Busier than usual | PHP 3,984 |
| April | Peak demand | PHP 4,163 |
| May | Peak demand | PHP 3,984 |
| June | Peak demand | PHP 4,460 |
| July | Peak demand | PHP 3,449 |
| August | Very quiet | PHP 3,984 |
| September | About average | PHP 3,865 |
| October | Quieter than usual | PHP 3,865 |
| November | About average | PHP 3,865 |
| December | Quieter than usual | PHP 2,557 |
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 the Philippines
Most travellers from the Philippines lock things in about 9 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking around two and a half weeks out. That pattern means you still have flexibility—many experiences can be arranged close to travel—but booking earlier pays in the busiest months such as June. With Klook booking data showing clear seasonality in both demand and price, consider securing popular Tours a week or more ahead for peace of mind while leaving lower-stakes activities to book nearer your trip. Use Klook to compare options and confirm bookings easily before you travel.
