Hanging Temple History, Humanities and Geography: Hanging Temple is located on the cliff of Cuiping Peak in Jinlong Gorge, Hengshan County, Hunyuan County, Datong City. It was built in the 15th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (491). It is the earliest and best-preserved high-altitude wooden cliff building in China. It is also the only temple that integrates Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Climbing is not recommended for those who are afraid of heights, the elderly, and children. The view from the foot of the mountain is equally stunning.
