What you can expect

Meet your tour guide in the lobby of your Datong hotel. Then hop on your private vehicle and heading directly to Yungang Grottoes which will take 30 minutes. Your tour guide will explain the related histories and stories along the way, feel free to ask questions if you have.

Upon arrival, follow your tour guide to admire outstanding achievement of Buddhist cave art in China during the 5th and 6th centuries architecture at Yungang Grottoes.

Enjoy lunch in the local restaurant, heading directly to Deshengbao Great Wall. Deshengbao Fortress was one of the 52 fortresses built along the Datong Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty. Deshengbao, which literally means “Victory Fort”, was built one kilometre south of the pass connecting Datong and Inner Mongolia, a strategically important garrison town in the Ming Dynasty. Different from the well-preserved and restored sections of the wall in Beijing like Badaling and Mutianyu, the Great Wall in Datong is mostly composed of ruins built of packed earth rather than brick.

Follow your tour guide to explore the local villages and ruins of the Great Wall, feel free to ask questions if you have.

If you don't want to visit the Great Wall, then you can visit the Datong City sites instead.

Heading to the famous Nine Dragon Screen which is the oldest and largest glazed screen in China. Built during the Ming Dynasty, this marvellous wall is 45.5 metres long, 8 metres high and 22 metres thick.

Next, explore the famous Datong city wall which with a long history going back to the North Wei Dynasty, the City Wall is truly magnificent. Since ancient times, Datong has been a place of great strategic importance, especially when in the Ming Dynasty, it became the door of the country's capital, through the protective screen of Shanxi province, and a safeguard of the Yellow River Plain. Listen to the history of of the city, and feel free to let your guide know if you have any questions.

After the tour finished, you will be transferred to your hotel in Datong.
