    Good afternoon,
    My 4 friends and I are travelling to Datong tomorrow and are aiming to view the Hanging Temple, Wutaishan Mountain and the Yungang Grottoes on Saturday and would like a driver for the day. I was inquiring whether it would be possible for a driver to be with us and accompany us to all of those venues for the day.

    If you could please reply as soon as possible that would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards,

    Alessia Francese

  14. Hi,
    We are resident in Xi’an and we are planning to visit Datong arriving from Xi’an on Friday 10 and staying on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12, leaving on Sunday 12 afternoon to Xi’an.
    We could arrive via Taiyuan by plane on Friday afternoon by 5 or 6 and leave via Hohhot by plane on Sunday evening.
    What is your best proposal for 2 persons by car from Taiyuan to Datong on Friday and then from Datong to Hohhot on Sunday ?

    Thanks and regards,

    D.Becq

    • Hi Denis, I advise you not to visit Hohhot if just for sightseeing, the grass is already yellow and all activities on grassland are closed.
      You can take flight to Datong, visit Yungang Grottoes, Hanging Temple, Pingyao, and Jinci Temple, then take fast train from Taiyuan back to Xian.
