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!

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

General info
What to know before visiting Datong
What Datong is known for
Datong draws most visitors for cultural tours and historic sightseeing, led by Tours and followed by attraction passes, according to Klook booking data. Activity peaks in the summer months when demand rises sharply, so the city’s rhythm runs from very quiet winters into a busy late spring and summer. For travellers deciding when to visit, choose between lively peak-season atmosphere and quieter months for space and value. Klook booking data shows tours dominate bookings year-round, so plan around those seasonal swings when you pick dates.
Best months to visit Datong
Demand on Klook builds into summer: June is the single busiest month, while February is the quietest, both per Klook booking data. Prices move separately: the median paid on Klook is lowest in December and highest in February, so peak crowds and peak prices do not fully align — summer sees strong demand with moderately high typical prices, while winter can be quiet but prices spike in February. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for December or January; for the full peak-season atmosphere pick June through July.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Very quiet | USD 44 |
| February | Very quiet | USD 78 |
| March | Busier than usual | USD 67 |
| April | Peak demand | USD 70 |
| May | Peak demand | USD 67 |
| June | Peak demand | USD 75 |
| July | Peak demand | USD 58 |
| August | Very quiet | USD 67 |
| September | About average | USD 65 |
| October | Quieter than usual | USD 65 |
| November | About average | USD 65 |
| December | Quieter than usual | USD 43 |
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 United States
Most travellers book well ahead here: on average bookings are made about 9 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking roughly two and a half weeks out. Because of that planning habit, lock in tours and popular experiences earlier if you travel in the peak months of June and July, when demand is highest. If you prefer flexibility, last-minute options still exist — many experiences are available within 2 days of travel — but for peace of mind and the best selection use Klook to reserve in advance and adjust plans as needed; Klook booking data shows this matches typical traveler behavior.
