Hengshan Hanging Temple (Xuankong si)
Hanging Temple is build halfway up the side of a precipitous cliff of Cuiping Peak of Hengshan Mountain. Historical records trace the construction of the origin of the Hanging Temple back 1,400 years to the later period of the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534), although much was reconstructed in the later Dynasties. Hanging Temple is constructed almost entirely of wood. There are more than 40 halls from big to small housing more than 80 sculptures. Hanging Temple has established its unique position as China’s unique and remarkable feats of architectural engineering with its characteristics of gravity-defying location, unique construction, evenly distributed and well-balanced structure.
Yungang Grottoes
The 45 caves in Yungang Grottoes include some 254 niches with about 51,000 statues. Yugang Grottoes constitute a classical masterpiece of the first peak of Chinese Buddhist art. In December 2001, Yungang Grottoes was included as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The expansion project in 2010 made Yungang Grottoes a world famous tourist sightseeing destination with its combination of a royal ancient Buddhist cave temple, royal garden and the complex of ancient architecture. Yungang Grottoes, with their complexity, their rich variety and vigorous features constitute a classical masterpiece as one of the three most famous Buddhist cave temples in China. The Yungang cave art represents the successful fusion of Buddhist religions symbolic art from the Buddhist Art of Gandhara (a style of Buddhist visual art that developed in what is now northwestern Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan between 1st century BC and the 7th century CE.)

I had a wonderful time with the guide Nancy during my 2.5 days in Datong. She arranged everything and had suggestions on where to stay and where to eat. She was flexible - when the Hanging Temple was closed due to excessive winds, she took me to see the Ying Xian Wooden Pagoda, Fogong Temple. It was snowing and she adjusted the schedule to still see as much as possible in my short time. She was also extremely knowledgeable and a great guide through the sites of Datong and the surrounding area. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour!!!

We saw first the suspended temple and then the yungang grottoes, which left at about 9am from our hostel and returned to Datong center at about 5:30pm. The places are worth it and Nancy not only speaks good English, but explains many things, especially about the yungang caves. On the way back Nancy is the driver they were very kind to make a stop at the bus station to help us get tickets to Beijing, and then take us directly downtown where we wanted to have dinner. The real added value of the tour for us was to be able to talk to Nancy and have a free exchange with her, which is very rare with a Chinese in our 3 week experience in this country.

Nancy is the best guide. He took care of getting us the rooms well before check in time. He took us to the Hanging Monastery, worried about trying to learn Spanish words. Very patient and very clear in her explanation. Highly recommended

An excellent visit to the Grottoes and the hanging Temple. We were my wife and I, and the 4 children (7-12 years old) We were picked up by Nancy at the Hotel, in a large van and with a very friendly driver. Along the way he was talking about the culture and history of China, speaking very good English. We entered the grotto complex with her, and she told us the story of how they were dug in detail, stopping as many times as it took to take pictures. The grottoes are amazing, if you come to China you have to see them. When you finish passing the bell, if you ring it 3 times it is good luck, and the children had a great time. Then, on the way to the temple, he offered us to eat in a restaurant with fast and abundant food and very well priced. She and the driver wanted to pay their share, but it was really economical and after insisting she let us invite them. The afternoon visit to the Hanging Temple was spectacular, gives us details of each part of it, and gives us time to take all the photos we want. Even she makes us some very good group photos. Then he took us back to the hotel, and since it was a little late, he even asked us for pizzas to bring to the hotel!! Highly recommended, very well priced, and a guide to the best we have seen in China, and have been almost 20 days!

On our two-week trip to China we spent a day with Nancy. We were picked up at the airport early with a large and very comfortable vehicle (with driver), where our bags were left all day. We first visited the hanging temple (spectacular), then went to eat in Datong and from there to the grottoes, leaving us later in the center of Datong for a walk until our train time. His attention was exquisite with sufficient explanations and giving time to see everything quietly. He had also bought us the night train tickets to Pingyao and accompanied us to the station to pick them up and drop off our bags. He also advised us about other places and even called our next hotel to confirm the arrival time. During the time with her we were able to talk and she was telling us very interesting things about China and its people. In short, an intense and wonderful day. We spend a day during our trip in China with Nancy. She picked us up at the airport in the early morning with a spacious and comfortable van (with driver) and took us to visit the Hanging Temple (amazing), later we had lunch in Datong and then went to the grottoes. Finally she left us in the center of Datong for a walk until our train's time. Her attention was exquisite with precise explanations and gave us time enough to enoy the visits. Besides she had bought our tickets for night train to Pingyao and came we us to the station to get them and leave there our lugagge. She was willing to help in any other things we need for our trip (she even phoned our next hotel to confirm our arrival). During our day with her we could chat about China and its people. In short, an intense and wonderful day

Last summer 2017 we took the Trans-Mongolian route, spending a day in Datong to see the Hanging Temple and the Buddhist caves, worth visiting. We contacted Nancy for the great reviews we found and we were not disappointed. He helped us at all times, both in Datong and to get from Beijing. His advice was very successful throughout and the organization, perfect. Definitely to repeat the experience with your help. Last summer we arranged a visit to Datong and Nancy was extremely helpful. She gave us indications on how to book train tickets from Beijing to Datong and her recommendations were perfect. She is an excellent professional.
