Cliffside Wonder! A 400-Year-Old Cliffside Ancient Temple Hidden in Guizhou, Absolutely Stunning!

️ This century-old mountaintop ancient temple in Guizhou is truly amazing!👀 On Tiantai Mountain in Pingba District, Anshun City, passing through the rain corridor of Tianlong Tunpu, you can look up and see Wulong Temple standing majestically atop a 200-meter cliff. Locals call it "Qiannan's Number One Mountain," not because of its height, but because this stone temple built in 1590 is incredibly unique! 🌟【Temple Highlights】 The entire temple is built naturally along the mountain’s terrain, each stone cleverly embedded in the cliff. The outer walls cling tightly to the cliff, with only tall narrow windows. Walking inside is super interesting— the space is small but not at all oppressive, instead, it gives a magnificent feeling of "standing on the summit!" 📜【Mysterious Legend】 The temple also hides secrets of the Wu Sangui family. It is said his uncle once became a monk here. When Sangui came to Guizhou, he made a special visit, leaving behind precious court robe accessories (wonder if they are still kept in the temple now?🔍) 📍【Practical Information】 Address: Tiantai Mountain, Tianlong Town, Pingba District, Anshun City Ticket: 79 RMB combo ticket (includes Tianlong Tunpu + sightseeing bus) Single ticket only 25 RMB~ Recommended visit time: about 1 hour (15 minutes hiking, 45 minutes photo shooting haha) 📸【Photo Tips】 1. Be sure to bring a telephoto lens! Only then can you capture the full cliff panorama. 2. Best time is 3-5 PM when sunlight shines on the ancient temple. 3. Wearing Hanfu makes the photos even more artistic! This over 400-year-old grandpa temple is truly the king of Guizhou’s off-the-beaten-path travel spots. Come check it out before it gets too popular!🙌
