Datong Buddhist Art and Hanging Temple Route

About this route

A compact Shanxi heritage route built around Yungang Grottoes, Datong’s old city, and the Hanging Temple with realistic driving time.

How we pace it

Yungang and the old city fit well together; the Hanging Temple and Mount Heng are held for a separate day because access and queues vary.
