1Highlights & Map
Essense Datong Day Tour to Yungang Grottoes and Hanging Temple with lunch
2Itinerary
- Your private English-speaking guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel around 9am.
-
- Visit the Yungang Grottoes. The three main sites in China that are famous for their stone sculpture are Dunhuang, Longmen and Yungang. Among these, the Yungang grottoes are considered number one among them, for their tremendous size, ancient history, and relatively complete state of preservation. Chinese lunch will be arranged close to the Grottoes.
- After lunch you will be transferred to Hanging Temple. The temple stands at the foot of Mt. Hengshan, 5 kilometers (3 miles) south of Hunyuan County, and 65 kilometers (40 miles) from downtown Datong City. Since it hangs on the west cliff of Jinxia Gorge more than 50 meters above the ground, it is called Hanging Temple. How could a building like this withstand the winds and storms of so many years? Hanging Temple is an architectural wonder. A unique mechanical theory was applied to building the framework. Crossbeams were half-inserted into the rock as the foundation, while the rock in back became its support. Seen from below, Hanging Temple appears to be a tumble-down castle in the air. Inside, Hanging Temple provides the same scene as other temples.
-
- End the tour and transfer you to the hotel around 5pm.
- During today's tour, a Chinese cultural factory visit is organized.

- "Unforgettable"
- It was the first family tour for my family. And during the holiday, my family visited the Datong. Both of my son and my wife were fascinated by the gorgeous stones and finally they didn’t want to come back home. And China Travel Depot is satisfying. The guide leaded us to visit many interesting places and told us stories about them. My son liked the story most. And I think the food was delicious and we got a great memory. If we go to trip next time, we also choose China Travel Depot.

- "good place"
- My mom was sick and I wanted to give a surprise to her. I telephoned to China Travel Depot and he helped me a lot. He suggested that I should go Datong with my mom. He said that my mom should like this tour. Fortunately, she did enjoy this tour. We visited a lot of Grottoes and took many pictures. My mom especially enjoyed the food in Datong. She said the Chinese food was really delicious. I think so. When we return home, I found that my mom was better and better.

I have planned all and prepared a ring to propose to my girlfriend. I asked our guide to help me. And he was very kind and patient. He helped me to find the restaurants and some special shops. When we arrived at Datong, my girlfriend was exciting and happy. And finally she said yes! I couldn’t forget this tour forever and thank you very much, China Travel Depot!
