Hanging Temple, half a day high, three horsetails hanging in the air, this folk song describes the Hanging Temple. Hangkong Temple is located between the cliffs on the west side of Hengshan Mountain in Hunyuan County, Datong City, Shanxi Province. It was built in the late Northern Wei Dynasty 1400 years ago. It is the only unique temple in China that integrates Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Looking up from the bottom of the mountain, I saw a temple standing tall on a cliff almost straight up and down. It skillfully utilized the principle of mechanics, based on the flying beams inserted into the mountain, and supported the whole temple by relying on the rocks between the cliffs. When I climbed the Hangkong Temple and looked around, I saw a wooden pole sticking in the cliff, walking on the corridor, occasionally shaking, my heart could not help shaking. Here the railings are very low, only to the thigh position, feeling very suspense. Looking down again, the straight up and down cliffs make people dizzy. It deserves to be selected as the top ten unstable buildings in the world by Time Magazine.

    In the early morning sun, I set off on a journey to the Suspension Temple. This ancient and mysterious temple, located above the steep cliffs, has always attracted my curiosity. When I finally stood in front of the Suspension Temple, I was shocked by its grandeur. The temple seemed to hang in the air, supported by several seemingly fragile wooden pillars, giving a crumbling feeling. I couldn't help but lament the exquisiteness of ancient architectural craftsmanship and the courage of the craftsmen. I climbed carefully up the temple along the narrow stairs. Each step made my heart beat faster, but it also brought me closer to the history of this ancient building. The temple is compact and exquisite, and serves a majestic Buddha statue. From the temple's viewing platform, I overlook the magnificent mountain view. The green hills are rolling and rolling, and the ancient buildings are against each other, forming a beautiful picture. The breeze blows and brings fresh air, which makes me feel a tranquility that integrates with nature. When I left the suspension temple, my heart was full of emotion. This trip not only gave me a taste of the charm of ancient architecture, but also gave me a deeper understanding of human wisdom and courage. The Hanging Temple, this unique and precious cultural heritage, will remain in my memory forever.

    It is convenient and fast to enter the park, just brush your ID card. There are not too many travelers in the off-season. It is recommended to buy a ticket to go up and see. The stairs are relatively narrow, but very simple. It takes a little courage to go up to the hanging temple and look down.

    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.

    In exploring China's rich and diverse cultural heritage, I chose the Trip.com platform to book a trip to Shanxi's Hanging Temple. This trip gave me a deep experience of the magnificent and mysterious Hanging Temple. First of all, I was shocked by the architectural wonders of Hanging Temple. The temple is built on a cliff, as if separated from the ground, and is amazing. All the temple buildings are supported by dozens of wooden pillars like dumplings, which have survived landslides, earthquakes, and rainwater erosion, but have never stood down. This "wonderful, hanging, clever" architectural features, people can not help but feel awe of the wisdom and skills of the ancients.

    The ticket for the suspension temple is 15 yuan, the boarding fee is 100 yuan, and the number of people in the boarding temple is limited. It is best to make an appointment to buy the boarding ticket in advance. The queue time for the boarding temple is also long. It takes about two hours to queue. If the person who is afraid of heights is recommended not to go up, it will indeed feel the shaking frame. There are also restrictions on age, children can't go up
