Immerse yourself in the wonders of Datong’s timeless treasures with this private tour to Hanging Temple and Yungang Grottoes!
Once picked up at your Datong hotel, you'll hit the road (30-minute ride) to reach the Yungang Grottoes. Stretching 1 km along Wuzhou Mountain, these 5th–6th century caves feature 252 grottoes and 51,000 statues. A fusion of Central Asian and Chinese artistry, the iconic 'Tan Yao Five Caves' mark the peak of early Buddhist cave art. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001, Yungang whispers tales of devotion. Explore with your guide, ask questions, and step into ancient history.
After lunch, enjoy a 1.5-hour scenic drive to the Hanging Temple with your guide. Built in 491 AD, this unique temple blends Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. Perched 50m high on a cliff, its ingenious wooden-beam construction defies gravity. You'll explore its 1,400-year-old relics and murals with your guide before returning to your hotel in Datong.
