Know before you go

Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap Suitable for all physical fitness levels You will receive details about tour guide and exact meeting time the day before. And the tour guide will also contact you through hotel or leave a message for you regarding the exact time the night before tour. Lunch is not included in this tour. But you can have a lunch break at any time if needed, just let your tour guide know. The Hanging Monastery is occasionally closed for renovation or repairs. If this is the case on your tour, you will not be able to climb up to the rooms, and your visit will involve viewing the buildings from the ground. Due to the very limited number of climbing tickets for the Hanging Temple, we highly recommend avoiding visits during Chinese public holidays and peak travel seasons. Even with advance booking, the climbing tickets may not be guaranteed. If the climbing tickets are unavailable, you can still admire the spectacular Hanging Temple from the ground instead. The limited availability of climbing tickets for the Hanging Temple, Online Reservations: Limited 1200 tickets per day
