The most "humble" temple in China

Buddhist culture has prevailed for thousands of years. When traveling, I will also go to temples around the country to pray for incense. There is the most "breathtaking" temple in China. How small is it? As for its thrilling, I really use my life to worship Buddha and burn incense, because I will die if I am not careful.

This smallest and most thrilling temple is located in Bajiaozhai, which is located at the junction of Langshan Town, Xinning, Guangxi. Bajiaozhai, also known as Yuntai Mountain, is located in Danxia landform. The main peak is 818m high. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, Bajiaozhai stands upright in eight directions, commonly known as eight faucets. First of all, the temple is located at the junction of Hunan and Guangxi, on a mountain peak about 800 meters above sea level.

The most spectacular scenery in Bajiaozhai Scenic Area is the "leading incense" in the northeast corner. On a cliff next to Yuntai Temple, there is a ridge extending nearly 100 meters. Both sides of the ridge seem to have been chopped by knives and axes, leaving a road only one foot wide leading to the faucet. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Bajiaozhai experienced nine droughts in ten years, and villagers gathered here to burn incense and worship Buddha. One day, there was a sudden thunder and it rained cats and dogs. A dragon flew into the cave in the temple, and the weather in Bajiaozhai was fine from then on. This temple was also called "Dragon Temple" by later generations.

The mountain where Long Jiangan is located is steep and steep. Many people want to go up and see for themselves in order to show their piety. There is a ridge on the peak that is not particularly long, surrounded by cliffs and the terrain is very dangerous. But at the end of this ridge, there is a magical little temple. On the periphery of the temple, yes, on the edge of the cliff, a stone statue was made. This statue is in the shape of a dragon. Because it is on the edge of the cliff, the position here is suspended.

Although it's dangerous and thrilling here. But you can still see the incense ashes scattered in front of the small temple from a distance, which is enough to prove that the incense of the dragon head incense is strong. The hanging place is 3 meters long and only about 30 centimeters wide. It's really thrilling. The incense burner is located in such a steep position, which can really test whether people who burn incense are religious. Whether there was an accident burning incense here.

Accidents do happen. Burning incense in front of the tap here is the wish of many devout pilgrims. For thousands of years, many people have fallen off the cliff because of the falling incense, but many people still come here to burn incense.
