Question

I am arriving to Datong by train at 4:30 am and plan to visit the Yungang grottoes early morning; probably going by taxi; and in the late afternoon going to Beijing. Is it safe and ok to stay at the Datong train station from 4:30 am until 8am or 9am before going to the caves? or is it better to book a hotel for a few hours? are there lockers to leave a piece of baggage at Datong train station? What is the best way to go to beijing from Datong, a minivan? Thank you!!

Flora · Answer

It is OK for you to stay at the Datong train station at that time. I suggest you find a KFC, Mcdonald's or coffee bar to stay. There are lockers at the train station. You need to be careful to find a reliable one to keep your baggage. However, you'd better take the valued things with you. Do not store the valued things there. You can take train from Datong to Beijing.
