Great side trip from Beijing, excellent guide - Jenny picked us up at hotel early a.m. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Drove us to Yungang Grottoes first day, then dropped us off in Datong for the evening. Stopped enroute for excellent handcut noodles in Datong. Jenny gave us lots of information and insight on history and culture. Second day visited Shuozhou Wooden Pagoda, then hanging temple, which was breathtaking, before returning to Beijing. Highly recommend. Jenny made it particularly special.

When we arrived to Datong we were met by a local guide who took us to the grottoes and Hanging Monastery, which are incredible. We also saw some other site which was great before going back in comfort to Beijing.</p>

Breath taking temple - Although we did not get the cahnce of climbing up to the temple, it was also breath taking to see it at the bottom. There were too many tourists on that day, the queue was from the top to the bottom of the stairs. This was due to the closure of road leading to Yungang Grottoes for the Tour of Taiyuan.
