Ancient Hanging Temple of Mount Hengshan

The ancient Hanging Temple, or the Hanging Monastery, of Mount Hengshan, China is one of the most interesting sites in the country. The temple which is older than 1500 years is built on a cliff 70 meters high above the ground. Through the use of oak crossbeams on certain carved spaces and a main supporting structure hidden behind it, the ancient Hanging Temple has managed to stand still on this cliff. Moreover, the cliff is a little bit lower from the summit which protects the temple from natural erosions such as excessive rain and sunlight. In addition, the temple does not have a straight line, and its height increases as it extends. For example, if a visitor enters from the south gate and makes their way to the north gate, they walk upwards and move to a higher altitude.
