In the morning around 7:30am, our driver(driver only, no guide) meet you at your Beijing hotel lobby and drive you to Beijing Railway Station where a train to Datong is waiting for you(G2505 08:40am--11:00am). The train takes around 2.5 hours.

Upon arrival at Datong, you will be picked up on time and transferred to the Datong hotel(driver+ guide).

After the hotel checking in and have short a break. We will visit the Yungang Grottoes first by today. Upon arrival at the Yungang Grottoes, our guide will accompany you as you to go around viewing more than 59,000 solemn Buddha statues made during the Northern Wei Dynasty (386 - 534). Considered to be a treasure house of Buddhist arts, Yungang Grottoes took over 70 years to reach the present scale. The sculptures there integrate the superb artistry of Northern Wei and showcase the atmospheric and imperial style. You are sure to feel astonished by the magnificent scene there.

And then, after admiring the sculptural arts of the Northern Wei Dynasty, you will then be guided to Huayan Monastery to appreciate the architectural style created during the Liao Dynasty (907 - 1125). You will also see a statue of Bodhisattva with a grin on her face, which makes it stand out from the rest.

After lunch, we will head for the Nine-Dragon Wall which used to be a giant screen in front of a prince's mansion 600 years ago.

At the end of the day, we will round off today's Datong tour with the Ancient City Wall and then take you back to your hotel.
