1. You must refer to Nanyuan airport, right? It is about 30 miles from capital airport. There is no direct transport mode between these two airports, so you are suggested to take a taxi, and the fare is about CNY150-160.2. See the answer No. 1.3. You can book the air ticket through travel agency. I had booked the air tickets through TravelChinaGuide, and that was a nice experience. Their contact info is booking@travelchinaguide.com. 4. Do you refer to the hotel in Datong? If yes, I suggest you live near the Datong Railway Station, where you can have wide selections about the hotels in different standards. Here are some of them for your reference: Hongqi Hotel, Jinhe Kailong Hotel, Jinri Business Hotel.4. No, it is not difficult. In Datong Bus Station, there are direct buses going the Hanging Temple, you can take one. Or you four can hire a private car, which would be a convienient and economical choice.5. For Wutaishan trip, I suggest you join a local tour, which covers most highlights of the scenic area. Actually, comparing hiring a car by yourself, joining a tour is much cheaper. For the hotel in Wutai mountain, there are big hotels and small inns, and you can afford for most the inns.6. There is no problem about the safety, but no one can guarantee that you four are in the same cabin. If you need to book the train tickets, turn to TravelChinaGuide I had mentioned in No. 3 answer. The train fare for hard sleeper is CNY101.5 – 107.5. 7. Yes, usually speaking, it is cold but sunny in Nov. in day time, the temp may reach about 45F, and at night it is about 20-30F and it winds. You need to wear sweater, down jackets.
