Itinerary

  • Hengshan Hanging Temple (Xuankong si)

    Hanging Temple, a national AAAA level tourist area, is located between the cliffs of Cuiping Peak on the west side of Jinlong Gorge in Hengshan, Hunyuan County, Datong City, Shanxi Province. It was originally called "Xuankong Pavilion", with "Xuan" derived from Chinese Taoist teachings and "Kong" derived from Buddhist teachings. It was later renamed "Hanging Temple" because the entire temple is like hanging on a cliff. In Chinese, "Xuan" and "Xuan" are homophones, hence the name. [15] The Hanging Temple was first built in the late Northern Wei Dynasty (491 AD) and has a history of over 1500 years. It is a unique temple that combines Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. The architecture of the "Hanging Temple" is highly distinctive, known for its precipitousness as if facing an abyss. It is known as the slang "Hanging Temple, half a day high, three horse tails hanging in the air", and is known for its precipitousness as if facing an abyss.

  • Yungang Grottoes

    The Yungang Grottoes were excavated over 1500 years ago during Alexander's Eastern Expedition .There are currently 45 main caves, 252 niches of different sizes, and over 59000 stone sculptures, making them a treasure trove of Chinese cave art. The Yungang Grottoes, as the first royal authorized cave in China, reflect the political ambition of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Compared with many grotto temples in China, Yungang Grottoes have the most westernized style. Among them, there are elements of Indian and Western Asian art, as well as Greek and Roman architectural styles, decorative patterns, and visual features, reflecting the origin relationship with major civilizations around the world. This is unique in the treasure trove of Chinese art and is of great significance for the development of Chinese culture and art in future generations. In 2001, the Yungang Grottoes were listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Best experience in Datong

Published on Aug, 2024

We only have good words for Nancy and her drivers. They were very professional, pick us up at the exact time, good driving experience (not always is like this in China) and even, she solves a big problem we had with the cancellation of a train, and in few hours, se gave us an alternative with a good driver. So.... TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!!

Great!

Great experience! We loved the sites. Our driver was very helpfull assisting us to enter quick and efficiently. Thanks for the safe driving!

Best decision ever for our China trip

Published on Jul, 2024

Best experience ever; we booked several transfers and ticket purchases for attractions and spectacles with Nancy in different cities (Beijing, Datong, Xi’an, Chengdu) and the experience couldn’t be better. She pays attention to details and she goes the extra mile by giving extra advise and tips; apart from giving amazing support. Don’t go to China without Nancy organizing your trip, best decision ever!

Trip to Hanging Temple

Published on May, 2024

Driver Mr Li picked me up from the train station. From Datong South Rail station to Hanging Temple was about 1 hour in automobile. Driver was great. I highly recommend this trip. I was supposed to go to the Grottoes but I was too tired and decided to go back to the hotel (but this was my choice). From Hanging Temple to the hotel is also about 1 hour. If you are vacationing by yourself I highly recommend to purchase a private tour as you will have the flexibility to adjust the trip as you see fit. Thanks for a great experience.
