Hanging Temple
|
|
About 80 km from Datong and 5 from Hunyuan County, the gravity defying Hanging Temple is built on extremely sheer cliffs of Mt. Hengshan above Jinlong Canyon. Construction of the Temple dates back 1400 years to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Most of the architecture was reconstructed during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Bridges and corridors connect those pavilions and caves in which dozens of bronze, iron, stone and clay statues are enshrined. In San Jiao Dian (Three Religions Hall), Buddha, Confucius and Laotsu are enshrined together, which is a surprise. |
