How to get by bus (buses) from Datong to Hanging Monastery?

There is no direct public transportation between these two places. Thus you are advised to take a coach from the Main Railway Station (No.3 Weidu Avenue) to Hunyuan County first. After arriving, take a taxi or hire a private car to get to the scenic area. :)

I went to Hanging Monastery by bus from Datong. The bus station (looks like a temporal one) is on Xingyun street (east direction from the city wall, near the bridge). Ticket price was 30 RMB. In Hunyuan I with some other passengers were transferred from bus to two sedan cars. They took us to the Hanging Monastery at no additional cost. There is no way to return to Hunyuan without a taxi. And if you want to visit Hengshan Mt. you also need a taxi. There are no buses at the mountain :(
