2. Features of scenic spots

There are many hanging temples in China, the most famous of which is the hanging temple in Hengshan Mountain, Datong, Shanxi. Datong Hanging Temple was built in the late Northern Wei Dynasty 1400 years ago. It is the only unique cultural relic in China that integrates Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. The architecture of the Hanging Temple is very distinctive and is famous for its precipitousness. Known as "Hanging Temple, half a day high, three ponytails hanging in the air"!

Hanging Temple is in the layout of "one courtyard and two floors", with a total length of about 32 meters and 40 pavilions. The two towering high-rise buildings with three eaves on the top of the mountain in the north and south seem to be facing each other in the air, hanging from a cliff like a knife, surrounded by cloisters on three sides, with six halls and pavilions staggered, and the plank road soaring, all connected and staggered. At first glance, the whole temple is supported by only a dozen wooden pillars the thickness of a bowl, with the highest point 50 meters from the ground.

The overall layout of the Hanging Temple:

Temple, meditation room, Buddhist temple, Three Buddhas Hall, Taiyi Hall, Guandi Temple, Drum Tower, Bell Tower, THE TEMPLE OF JIALAN Hall, Songzi Guanyin Hall, Dizang Bodhisattva Hall, Thousand Hands Temple, Sakyamuni Hall, Lei Yin Hall, Sanguan Hall, Chunyang Palace, Plank Road, Three Religions Hall and Five Buddhas Hall. ...

In fact, the Hanging Temple is not large. The most amazing thing is that it depends on the mortise and tenon structure, embedded in the cliff, and will not fall. Its building is narrow and dangerous, and the pavilion hangs under the deep valley. Clever structure. After 1500 years of storms, earthquakes and other disasters, the Hanging Temple still stands tall.

3. Food recommendation

Come here to play, of course, you must taste the special food with peculiar flavor! I recommend you to try these delicious foods: Hunyuan bean jelly, Beiqi mushroom, Hengshan Zhengbeiqi and Hengshan Huang Qi sheep. ...

skill

The temple hangs on a steep cliff, so it is not recommended for friends who are afraid of heights to play.
