Helpfulness
If you book your Datong caves/hanging monastery tour through CITS, then most likely you will be making a quick stop on the side of the highway at the "2,000 yr old town" where mysteriously, out of nowhere, the locals appear and will try to sell some stuff to you. It is actually a very unique experience and you probably should buy something, although we didn't-wary of another scam, I guess. The cave dwellings and the simple way of of life is pretty interesting there, although I think the tour guides have been paid to stop there on the way to the hanging monastery.
Unique Suggestions: Get some pictures!
Fun Alternatives: There is no alternative unless you hire a driver.
