After breakfast you will drive 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.

After lunch, we will visit Yingxian Wooden Tower. It is the oldest and highest wooden structure in China. It was built with no nails or rivets and so is a true gem of Chinese architecture. The tower houses many spectacular works of art and the wind chimes hanging on each floor make for a relaxing and enchanting experience
