The Hanging Temple or Hanging Monastery

One of the most amazing monasteries in the world - an incredible church, hanging over a cliff at an altitude of 246 feet. Hanging Temple was built 1,500 years ago in China




Is a temple built into a cliff (75 m or 246 ft above the ground) near Mount Heng in Hunyuan County, Shanxi province, China. 


The passages in the rocks associated with each other for more than 40 rooms and halls. Began to build the temple is just one monk. A century later continued his other undertakings. An interesting feature of the hanging church is its own particular religion, combining Buddhism with Taoist and Confucian religious elements.

For centuries, the temple hangs over the precipice, he fears neither wind nor storm raging in the area


Most of the buildings are mounted on wooden beams, firmly driven into the rock. Not the best place for tourists, who are afraid of heights. But, if you are looking for experiences, this is a place for you to ensure.
