Fantastic 5.0
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!!!

Great 4.0
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.

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

What to know before visiting Datong

What to expect in Datong

The things-to-do catalogue here is led by Tours, followed by Attraction passes, so you’ll find a mix of guided experiences and ticket-based access for landmarks and sites suited to different budgets. That spread means travellers can pick ticket-only options for quick entry or book fuller guided Tours when they want deeper context. Bookings concentrate in April, and January is the quietest month, so availability is tightest in April and easiest in January.

How to choose what to book

The main choice is whether you want a quick-ticket option or a fuller guided experience — decide between convenience and depth. Tours offer the widest range, from an entry-level typical price of PHP 2,438 to an upper-end typical price of PHP 34,073, so they cover everything from budget group outings to high-end private options. Attraction passes are the most affordable way in and have a narrow range, with a typical price of PHP 1,368, which makes them handy for filling gaps in an itinerary.

If you’re price-shopping, attraction passes give predictability and limited variation, while Tours are where inclusion and quality vary most and where shopping around can find very different experiences. The decision comes down to whether you prioritise the lowest up-front cost or the broader choice that Tours provide.

When travellers from the Philippines book

Most travellers book about 9 days ahead, while the earliest planners book around 17 days out. That means plan on booking one to two weeks ahead for most activities, and allow extra cushion if you’ll travel in April when demand peaks.

How prices compare

The table shows how Datong’s top categories compare on price so you can place a budget before you choose.

Category Typical Price Usual Range
Tours PHP 4,995 PHP 2,438 – PHP 34,073
Attraction passes PHP 1,368 PHP 178 – PHP 1,368

Typical price is the median paid on Klook; the usual range covers the middle half of bookings, so cheaper and pricier options exist outside it; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, August 2025 – July 2026.
