This tour was a side trip for us and was well worth it. We left Beijing in comfort. 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.

Awesome tour! Definitely a must to go out of the city of Beijing for a while. Loved the grottoes and the monastery! Jenny our guide was awesome and full of knowledge so provided us so much insight about the places we were visiting. She also took us to some great chinese restaurants and had the best chinese meals these two days! Highly recommend these tour if you're in Beijing this is a must do!
