Hi everyone,

Im planning to go to Datong, Yunggang Caves, Hanging Temple, Wutaishan, then Taiyuan between 4/18 and 4/22. What is the most efficient route that I should be taking? (I am starting my trip in Beijing). Anyone interested in coming along let me know.

Do you have to get back to Beijing, or can you end in Taiyuan?
Do you have full days from 18/4 to 22/4?

We did Beijing -- bus -- Wutaishan -- hired vehicle -- Datong -- bus -- Taiyuan. I suppose that would work just as well for you?

There's no direct transport from Beijing airport, don't be silly!
Email me with your arrival times etc and I'll try to work out something for you. yahoo.com|ellyse99 -- put "TravelChinaGuide" and your own username (eg Jing1229) in the subject line.

GUESTSIM Hi

Is it easy and safe to get a hired car from Datong to Wutaishan, enroute to visit hanging monastery and wooden pagoda? What is the cost of the hired car like and where can I book the hired car?

A lot of people do that-hiring a car to travel from Datong to Mt. Wutai. I do it two years ago and costs me rmb350 per day. I found a car and driver by google but they were in Chinese. Sorry for that~
