If you’re seeking to explore the highlights and UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites, you must visit these two remarkable landmarks: the **Hanging Temple**, built along a cliff approximately 1,500 years ago and renowned for its breathtaking grandeur, and the **Yungang Caves**, carved 1,500 years ago and featuring 45 caves with over 51,000 statues preserved to this day.
This tour is led by an experienced guide who has been sharing the history and significance of these two sites for over a decade, ensuring an insightful and memorable experience.
You will be picked up by your private tour guide at 8:00 AM and transferred to the Hanging Temple, approximately a 1.5-hour drive. You will spend about 1.5 hours visiting the temple. During the peak summer season (from July to August), the visit may take longer, and an earlier start might be necessary, as the Hanging Temple is a highly popular destination.
Lunch will be arranged at a local restaurant in Hunyuan County. If it’s too early for lunch, we will drive you back to Datong City for your meal, which takes about 1.5 hours. After lunch, you will be transferred to the Yungang Caves, where you will spend approximately 3 hours exploring. The scenic area of the Yungang Caves has been renovated and expanded, so walking in and out will take about 40 to 50 minutes, with 1.5 to 2 hours dedicated to visiting the caves. If you prefer to save time and focus more on the central area, you can opt for the electric car service, which costs 15 yuan per person for a round trip.
After that, you will be transferred back to the original starting point.
