The only temple in the world built on a cliff by the Yellow River

🔶 Located at the 'S' shaped bend in the middle section of the Yellow River, separating two provinces—Shaanxi and Shanxi, coming from the Shanxi side, crossing the Jia County Yellow River Bridge into the territory of Jia County, Yulin, Shaanxi, you can see a temple rising into the sky, perched on the cliff—Xianglu Temple, which is also the first stop to check in this thousand-year-old mountain city. 🔶 Winding upwards, a 15-minute drive will take you to the entrance of Xianglu Temple, where you can look down along the stone road and see it, bordering the Yanhuang Highway, facing the Yellow River, and looking across to Shanxi. People living in Lin County on the opposite bank can walk over, often worship at this temple, and overlook the rolling Yellow River. 🔶 You can take a close look at the existing relics inside the temple: the Holy Mother Shrine, side halls, the mountain gate, stone stele pavilions, etc. 🔶 You can also view it from a distance, feel its coolness and absoluteness👍🏻 The section of the plank road in front of the opposite cliff is an excellent spot for viewing and photography, it is recommended to come in the afternoon, wait for a golden sunset, shining on the loess mountains and rivers, that is the spectacular scene of 'Xianglu Temple in the Evening Light'🔆🔆 📍 Address: Xianglu Peak, 200 meters east of Jia County, Shaanxi 👉🏻 Ticket price: 20 yuan 🔶 Construction period: the 42nd year of the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty 🔴 Type: Ming Dynasty building in the style of a courtyard house.
