After the terrible experience trip in Datong last summer, we do suggest those who plan to travel abroad to book a well-arranged and fully-prepared tours from a professional travel company. Before we start our tour to China, we got quotations from travel agencies, however, we believed they were joking prices at that time. Then we decided to travel by ourselves to cut down the price. Different problem came up all the way, like fully-booked hotel, lack of travel information. The most terrible one was in Datong. We met someone when we arrived there. he promised us a very low price for a full day tour to the Sakyamuni Wooden Pagoda at Fuoguang Temple in Yingxian County. But actually the tour only took us less than 4 hours but unbelieving more time stay in the shopping area he led us to. At last, we totally wasted nearly one day there. We will never travel again unless confirm all the reservations in advance. Hope nobody will meet what we experienced.

When we come to China on a holiday tour we want to learn as much as possible about culture and history. We are not keen on shopping tours. Therefore we would appreciate less shopping activities. But we are aware that this may be different for most of other tourists. We were never forced by guides to do shopping, but we were not pleased that shopping centers for paintings , jade , carpets and cloisonne' were called museums ore factories. That made us to agree to see shops we were not interested in.
