The Hanging Temple
The world-famous Hanging Temple in Shanxi has amazed engineers and visitors for centuries. What makes this temple so interesting? It is built directly into the side of a mountain!

The real support comes from beams (横梁) in the rock. Thanks to its clever design, it has stood on the side of the mountain for over 1,500 years! Visitors can climb up, walk through its ancient halls and look out over the deep valley below.
