Datong City Tours
Apart from the historical walls surrounding the city, which have been rebuilt now, Datong hosts a trove of other cultural treasures. A trip to Datong captures an experience of ancient and present rural life, religion, legend, and construction, with plenty of interesting photo opportunities during a visit to the inland city of Datong with its rich culture and heritage.
Datong tours are not complete without visiting the magnificent Yungang Grottoes which is one of the finest examples of Buddhist cave art, as well as the Hanging Monastery built on the precipice of a cliff which is a stunning feat of architecture – it’s almost impossible not to be impressed by this stunning feat of architecture. From Datong, travelers can also enjoy the Wooden Pagoda in Ying County and the astonishing Nine Dragon Screen. Well preserved Pingyao ancient town is also a worthwhile inclusion in any trip to the Datong region.
