View of Hanging Temple in China's Shanxi

Tourists visit the Hanging Temple, or Xuankong Temple, in Hunyuan County, Datong City in north China's Shanxi Province, on Feb. 28, 2025. Built over 1,500 years ago, the temple is notable for its location on a sheer precipice. The structure is kept in place with wooden beams inserted into holes chiseled into the cliffs. The main supportive structure is hidden inside the bedrock. The temple is located in a deep valley, and the body of the building hangs from the side of a cliff under a prominent peak, protecting the temple from rain erosion and sunlight.
