The trip to Datong from Beijing was over 5 hours one way to see the hanging temple and Yungang Grottoes due to some traffic but Mr. Ma had made trip more pleasant and enjoyable during the long drive with bananas, tangerines (didn't expected).
Mr. Ma did help us to find out if you are over 60 years of age, the entrance fee is free to both places.
We really recommend this tour since the hanging temple is an amazing place to visit.
Thank you so much Mr. Ma!
We really recommend this tour

I was picked up by Steven on time, he is very knowledgeable about everything. He knew all the driving short cuts to avoid horrible traffic jam. He was being superbly helpful to get me a ticket for the cable car and providing a good recommendation for lunch.
