Datong is really in the off-season.

Day 1: Hanging Temple - Mount Heng - Yingxian Wooden Pagoda - Datong Ancient City. If you have the same itinerary, we recommend carpooling for convenience. 1. The Hanging Temple was built in the late Northern Wei Dynasty, more than 1,500 years ago. The entire temple is suspended on a cliff, which is very impressive. You don't have to worry about crowds in the off-season. 2. The scenery of Mount Heng is quite ordinary. It takes about two and a half hours to go up and down. Just take a quick look. 3. If you only have time to visit one place during your two-day trip, we recommend the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda. It is a rare cultural relic and a typical example of wooden architecture in the world. Day 2: Datong Ancient City City Walk - Datong Museum Huayan Temple - Drum Tower - Sipailou - Daiwang Mansion - Nine-Dragon Wall - Fahua Temple - Guandi Temple - Shanhua Temple - Chunyang Palace - Drum Tower. The attractions are very close to each other. You can visit Huayan Temple and take a quick look at the others. We highly recommend the Garden Hotel. The service is excellent. The Chinese restaurant and breakfast buffet are amazing. The braised pork, garlic chicken wings, shumai, cold cake, walnut pie, lamb offal noodles, and knife-cut noodles are all delicious. The price is very reasonable. The hotel is located in the ancient city, which is very convenient.
