is a temple built into a cliff near Mount Heng in the province of
Shanxi. The closest city is Datong, 65 kilometers to the northwest.
Along with the Yungang Grottoes, the Hanging Temple is one of the
main tourist attractions and historical sites in the Datong area.
Built more than 1400 years ago, this temple is unique not only for its location on a sheer precipice but
also because it includes Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian elements.
