From Beijing to Datong Private Day Tour with Train Tickets

Take bullet train G2529 (07:41–09:45) from Beijing to Datong with your private guide in the early morning.

Upon arriving in Datong, first explore Datong Ancient City. Boasting a 2,300-year history, it once served as the Northern Wei Dynasty capital. Admire its well-preserved ancient city wall, classic military architecture, Nine-Dragon Screen and old temples to experience authentic northern Chinese history and folk culture.

Have local lunch at a characteristic restaurant, then visit Yungang Grottoes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site carved 1,500 years ago under the Northern Wei Dynasty. The site contains 45 main caves and over 51,000 stone Buddhas. Representing peak early Chinese Buddhist cave art, it merges Chinese, Indian and Central Asian styles and records ancient northern China’s cultural integration.

Return to Beijing by train and check in at your hotel.
