The Hengshan Hanging Temple, which was selected as one of the ten most dangerous buildings in the world by Time Magazine in 2010, is a must-visit ancient building for many people traveling to Shanxi.

There is no off-peak season or best travel season. It is suitable to go all year round because it is built on a cliff and is not affected by rain 5, Opening hours: Summer time 8:00-18:30.
