WUXIPENG.

Chinese Buddhist temples are generally built between plains and forests. Shanxi has a temple built on top of cliffs and is known as the most dangerous temple in the country. This temple is the famous Hanging Temple, located in Hengshan Scenic Area, Datong City, Shanxi Province. The hanging temple has a history of more than 1,500 years and is a temple of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Taoism. Although there are many gods dedicated to worship, each temple is very narrow, and there is not much extra place except for the placement of the gods. Each temple is hidden in the cracks of the rock, and is actually based on the geological conditions of the cliff. The hanging temple has three floors, the bottom of the building is supported by wood, and the building looks like it is hanging in the air. Some corridors are very narrow and can only accommodate one person. A few people will cause "traffic congestion." Walking on the promenade, you can hear the squeaking of the oblique board. Standing on the promenade, blowing the wind, looking at the abyss underneath, although there is no security problem, it naturally produces a fear heart. The temple of hanging temple is very simple, but some believers still sincerely salute, and the practice of not burning incense is worthy of admiration. You can find the location of the photo during the off-season tour of the Hanging Temple. If you go to the peak season, it is difficult to find the location. For security reasons, many places are not allowed to stay too long.
