Hanging Temple
Xuankong Temple, Hanging Temple, or Suspended Temple was built during the late Northern Wei Dynasty , more than 1,400 years ago.
The temple is an awesome architectural achievement. It is hanging in the mid-air of the cliff of Hengshan ,some 50 meters from the ground.
Athough it rebuid in successive dynasties, the original structure has not changed and is still in perfect conditions . There are 40 halls, towers and pavilions supported with flying beams inserted into the cliffs of Hengshan and wooden pillars and connected by winding corridors. The whole structure seems to dangle by a thread at the edge of an abyss.The magnificence of the temple was quite often marveled all through the years.
