An amazing trip from Beijing to Datong to explore the YunGang Caves and the Hanging Temple - I had an amazing trip from Beijing to Datong to explore the YunGang Caves and the Hanging Temple! My tour company and tour guide Liu was extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating throughout our tour. The journey was smooth, and the destinations were awe-inspiring. The YunGang Caves, with their incredible Buddhist sculptures and ancient history, left me speechless. The Hanging Temple, perched high on the cliffs, was nothing short of breathtaking. The unique blend of culture, history, and natural beauty made this trip unforgettable. Highly recommend it for anyone interested in China's rich heritage!

Absolutely staggering views & good food & good people - This tour was absolutely amazing! Everything—from the food, booking, and organization to the day’s events—was excellent. Cathy was in constant communication with us, making sure we knew what was happening and where the driver and guide were. It was so fun touring the city and learning about Datong’s history. The restaurant we visited was delicious, and I enjoyed both the food and beer; they also adhered to dietary restrictions, which was very helpful. Huge thank you to the team—you made our visit so special, and I really enjoyed it. it.

UNESCO Buddha carvings and Hanging Monastery - The one-day trip from Beijing to Datong was definitely worth. Cathy did a great job communicating, organizing, and making sure everything went smoothly. Our local guide, George, was very efficient and we managed to see all the highlights in a pretty short time with a yummy lunch break. The Beijing and Datong drivers did a good job as well, and riding the bullet train was extremely fast and comfortable.

Highly recommend this tour! - Cathy as very efficient and helpful with making booking and plans. She communicated with us via WhatsApp which we could use via our internet access once we arrived in China. Worked amazingly well. Our tour started off with driver early for hotel pickup - so it felt nice to be dropped off at station early. Bullet train good experience at 249 km/hr. Very smooth. Our tour guide, George was there ready with sign to meet and greet us at DaTangNan station. George was very knowledgeable, spoke in fluent English outlined the day ahead as we set off for the caves. Our driver was also very amicable and helpful. The Caves were very spectacular - exceeded expectations. Their amazing background and history was explained by George. We all enjoyed a traditional Chinese lunch in local restaurant which had an extensive menu. Food very enjoyable. George helped with our special food needs. Both George and Driver hosted us at lunch very well. Afternoon trip to Hanging Temple - The Hanging Temple was absolutely fascinating. George provided great commentary about the temple and enjoyable conversation throughout the day. My and husband agree it’s a “must do” if planning a trip to China.
