Itinerary
Yungang Grottoes & Hanging Temple Day Trip
Start your day with a convenient hotel pick-up arranged by your professional guide (exact time will be confirmed in advance). On the way to Yungang Grottoes, enjoy fascinating stories about one of China’s four largest grottoes. Upon arrival, a round-trip electric car ride will save you time and energy, allowing you to fully appreciate the intricate Buddha statues carved during three distinct historical phases:
- The grand and majestic large Buddha statues.
- The innovative period of transformation.
- The finely detailed smaller statues funded by private patronage.
Next, journey to the world-famous Hanging Temple, a temple that uniquely honors Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. Marvel at this 1,400-year-old wooden structure precariously perched on a cliff. Your guide will share stories of its extraordinary construction and explain the reasons behind its remarkable location, chosen over more accessible terrain.
End your adventure with a comfortable return to your hotel.
