Overview

Datong is a renowned historical city for both Yungang Grottos and Hanging Temple in Shanxi Province in Northern China. This private day tour from Beijing to Datong by round-way bullet train will let you explore both sites with a local guide. Please note:

  1. this is a very long day tour and no escorting guide on the train.
  2. you will view the Hanging Temple from outside and don't have time to walk inside to visit, which limits the daily visitors with a long queue. If you mind it, please do NOT book this tour.
