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.

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

Datong at a glance: main experiences and seasonality

Datong draws most Klook bookings for tours and attraction passes, with guided day trips and sightseeing leading the way. Demand rises and falls strongly through the year, concentrating in early summer and easing off in winter.

When to visit: crowds and prices through the year

Klook booking data show June is the busiest month while February is the quietest, so expect a clear high-season atmosphere in June and much lighter crowds in February. Prices follow a similar seasonal swing: past bookings show December as typically the cheapest month and February as typically the priciest, with rates dipping through late autumn into winter and rising again toward the spring and early summer. For lower prices and smaller crowds, visit in December or February; for peak-season atmosphere choose June when demand is highest.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Travellers from the United States usually book around nine days ahead on average, with many last-minute bookings possible within a couple of days, so you can be flexible but planning about one to two weeks out is sensible—especially if you aim to travel in June. Popular options include guided tours and attraction passes, and booking them on Klook ahead of time helps lock in your preferred dates.
