About this activity

After breakfast, meet your guide in the hotel lobby and get ready to your exciting exploration.

Drive to Yungang Grottoes. Listen to the tales and legendary stories of one of the four largest Grottoes in China on the way. Upon arrival, a round trip battery car is arranged for you to save your time and walk to the Grottoes. Get off the car and follow your guide to explore different stone carvings of Buddha statues built in three different phases, with the first phase of grand large Buddha statues, second phase of innovation period and the third phase with private patronage featuring smaller caves with smaller statues.

Move on to drive to Hanging Monastery, the only existing Monastery built in honor of three Chinese traditional religions: Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Take a guided walk through the temple and discover how the wooden structure survived 1400 years in the cliff and find out why it is built into cliff which was a lot more difficult than simply built up on a mountain. Afterwards make a stop at the rural village first and take some photos while walking through. Have some conversations with the locals to know farmer’s life. Get oriented to visit a raw untouched Beacon Tower of Ming Dynasty.

Your fun day exploration trip concludes at transferring to your hotel.
