[Shanxi Temple]
Hang Kong Temple, also known as Xuankong Temple, located in Wuyuan County, Shanxi, 65 kilometers away from Datong City, is the only existing Buddha, Tao, Confucianism and the three unique in China temple.
It was built in the late Northern Wei Dynasty more than 1,500 years ago. Later, the dynasty of the Northern Dynasties repaired the Hanging Temple. Because the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the Taoist Taoist Temple from Pingcheng to Datong, the ancient artisans The Taoist temple "has not heard the sound of cockerels and dogs" has built a hanging temple, and it has the wonders of today. Hanging Temple is built between the cliffs of Cuiping Peak on the west side of Henglong Mountain, facing the Hengshan Mountain, facing the Tsui Ping, carrying dangerous rocks, descending the deep valley, hanging the pavilion, and the structure is wonderful. There are forty temples in the Hanging Temple. The mechanics are based on semi-inserted flying beams. The rock is concealed by the rock, the pillars are connected up and down, the corridors are connected to each other, and the twists and turns are surprising. There are more than 80 statues of bronze, iron, stone and mud in the temple. It is like a delicate and embossed relief. It is set in the cliffs of Wanli, and there is a volcanic atmosphere.
The word "spectacular" on the rock under the temple is the treasure of the poetry of the Tang Dynasty. The ancients said: "The tower is suspected of the sea, the bird road is not in the clouds." Xu Xiake, a great traveler of the Ming Dynasty, sighed as "the giant view of the world."
The suspension temple is not big, two hours of sightseeing is enough, if you don’t open the door in the morning, you can queue up in the first wave. There are relatively few people, but the free ticket personnel above 60 can actually enter without making an appointment. The management of the scenic spot is relatively poor in these soft aspects. Go early and don't let the car park in the north parking lot closest to the entrance. If you take the elderly to go to the queue early, you have to walk more, and you have to walk a hundred meters. I really don't understand this management. Open at 8 o'clock and it will never be one point early.
I took the elderly out and watched a few videos and travel guides. Generally speaking, they showed fear of heights. I was worried about the elderly before. The actual situation was not like this. Such videos are all eyeballs. This is too outrageous. Today, there is no one who is afraid of heights. No matter adults, children and the elderly. In addition, the scenic spot can only open at 8 o'clock and can only open for one minute late and never open for one minute early. There are two North Parking Lots (closer to the import) and 2 Parking Lots in the scenic area, but the control priority stops 2, 2 is full before the North Parking Lot is parked, and there are many people who have queued before 8 o'clock. In addition, the scenic spot repeatedly reminded that free ticket holders who are over 60 should make an appointment for free tickets in advance. The actual situation is not the same. As long as there is no reservation at 8 o'clock in the morning, the free ticket elderly can also swipe their ID card to enter, but I don't know if they still put free tickets in when there are many people on holidays! In short, the management information of the scenic spot is inconsistent, and it is always necessary to create a tense atmosphere that makes people anxious, the management is unscientific, and the information is unclear.
The suspension temple is the essence of play. Although 100 yuan is a bit expensive, the price is not high. If the dangerous building may be closed for a long time, there is a chance to go up early; Ctrip is convenient to buy tickets, swipe your ID card or QR code, save the pain of queuing.
The Hanging Temple was founded in the late Northern Wei Dynasty (491) and has been more than 1,500 years since, and is a unique temple of the unity of Buddha, Tao and Confucianism. "Suspended Temple" architecture is very characteristic, as the precipitous and famous, known as "Suspended Temple, half a day high, three horse tail hanging in the sky" slang, as the precipitous and famous.
Hunyuan County, Datong City, Shanxi Province, this time I came to Shanxi to travel. The suspension temple is the second place to come. The weather in Shanxi is also very cold. We drove to the suspension temple in the morning. There were not many tourists. Get off and look around. It is a Grand Canyon, the cliff is standing on the side, steep and steep, It is a masterpiece of nature's magical work. On the uneven mountain, the rock cracks form a ditch, with few vegetation and no green layers. The opposite suspension temple hangs in the middle of the cliff, looking up at the sky like a big skylight, hanging in the middle of the temple. Looking from a distance, the temple is half-hanging and half-stand, giving people the feeling is so steep, as if it will collapse in a blink of an eye, of course, tourists should not worry, because it has been hanging on the cliff for more than 1,500 years. The suspension temple has only one plank road that can accommodate 2-3 people. Tourists consciously queue up to visit, and cannot retrograde. I walk and watch as the flow of people. At the beginning of every step of the suspension temple is careful, for fear of any accident, the suspension temple plank road is wooden, some places can also see the cliff below from the small gap. The area of the hanging temple is not large, nor can it be large. The three gods of the main temple, Confucianism, Shi, and Taoism live in the same hall together. It is convenient to exchange ideas. The Buddha is the Buddha, Sakyamuni, on the left is Confucius, the Confucian ancestor, and on the right is the founder of Taoism, Laozi Li Er. It is the only Confucianism in China. Unique temple of the three religions of Shi and Tao. The three church masters gathered together to reflect the idea of the confluence of Confucianism, release and Taoism, and integrate the Confucianism "and for the sake of the noble", "benevolent love benevolence", "wise people see wisdom", "no measure of people", " courtesy first", and "pudu all beings" in Buddhism.
Above the cliff, the scale is spectacular. Only by seeing it firsthand can you appreciate the real miracles! Just like the "spectacular" of Shixian Li Bai and the "great view of the world" of Xu Xiake, the big traveler, are the real feelings after seeing the hanging temple. What I look forward to most during this trip to Datong is seeing the Hanging Temple firsthand.
Must go early, now open at 8 o'clock, there are already people queuing at the entrance at 7:30, if you board, you must go early and go early, as soon as you open the door to catch up with the first wave of boarding, do not let it queue for a long time, after entering the door, turn right and board the queue, we arrived around 7:40, There are more than 20 tourists in the front, basically there is not much time to stay, because everyone is in line to walk, the road above is relatively narrow, the steps are very steep, but it is worthwhile to visit it firsthand.
The Hanging Temple is the most "burning money" attraction in this trip. The scenic spot is under Hengshan, and the tickets are divided into entrance tickets (15 yuan) and landing tickets (100 yuan). Tickets can only be viewed at the foot of the Hanging Temple, and the landing ticket can be intimately contacted by the cliff wall with the Hanging Temple. Due to the special structure of the suspension temple, basically only a single "road" can walk alone, so the flow is limited, and the peak season basically needs to queue up one by one from the shade corridor at the foot of the mountain. According to follow-up communication, the peak season is normal in the morning 3-4 hours, and in the afternoon 1-3 hours. Because the itinerary is close and it is difficult to buy (the peak season needs to be booked about a week in advance), I found that there is a VIP direct ticket (excluding guides, the price is hundreds of), and then buy it on the cliff. Since it is here, it is recommended to ask the tour guide to explain, otherwise it is rare to have the essence. The entire Suspension Temple is less than an hour after listening to it. Although it is more expensive, it is still very worthwhile. ⚠ Due to the special suspension structure of the Suspension Temple, fat people are said to not let them go. Friends above 90kg suggest to consult in advance.
