Unfortunately our thrifty travel efforts were thwarted by a lack of buses, so we were forced to stump up 160 RMB for a very bumpy return taxi ride to the 55 RMB temple.

Constructed at the foot of Mt. Hengshan, the Hanging Monastery, has survived for more than 1400 years.
Terrifying beyond belief, this masterpiece of engineering was the most unique temple that I have ever seen.
Unfortunately, on our return to Datong we were stuck by a rather severe sand storm, which saw us hibernate in our hotel for the majority of the day.
After checking our email at a local internet café, we ventured out, into the blizzard, in search of a restaurant.
In our naivety, Tessa and I grossly over ordered by choosing cashew chicken, pork pancakes, Chinese spinach, a giant bowl of noodles with two sauces and a loaf of pumpkin bread, not to mention two large bottles of beer and a pot of tea.
Although embarrassed by our unintentional over ordering, we were staggered to discover the bill was only 78 RMB.
