The Hanging Temple has always been on the travel list and was also the filming location for last year’s hit Black Myth: Wukong. The small temple built on the mountain wall has been here for 1,500 years. There is a daily limit on the number of visitors. In addition to the scenic spot ticket, you need to buy a 100 yuan boarding ticket if you want to climb to the top. You also need to reserve more than an hour of queuing time. Only when I stepped onto the slightly flimsy wooden stairs did I realize that I was a little afraid of heights. As I walked along the route, I truly admired the architectural wisdom of the ancients. It turns out that the slender wooden poles under the building are just for decoration and to relieve psychological fear. The only thing that supports the stability of the entire building is a few wooden foundations embedded in the mountain wall. Another thing worth seeing is Li Bai's calligraphy "湛" (Gorgeous). There are several explanations for the extra dot in the word "壮". One is that Li Bai accidentally added it when he was drunk, and the other is that it was too spectacular to describe, so he simply added a dot to indicate that it was more spectacular than 湛.

Datong Hanging Temple is about 1.5 hours driving distance from Datong old town. Due to transportation control, we need to take the shuttle bus from the tourist centre which take about 10mins driving distance. You can also buy the attraction tickets at the tourist centre. The car park is big and convenient if you are driving. The entrance ticket cost only RMB15 but the ticket to climb up the trample cost RMB100. There are limited tickets sold per day and you need to prebook in advance in order to grab the ticket during peak season. We still have to walk for about 15mins from the bus stop to the hanging temple attraction entrance. There are food staffs and restaurants along the way which we can grab some simple foods. We went during Nov time and on Friday which is considered off peak season. So we don’t have to queue and the whole visit took us only about 1 hour. The temple is very small, and the walkway is also less than 1m width which may look quite scary. Anyway, I feel safe when walking on top . It maybe difficult for old people who have mobility difficulties to climb up to the temple as some of the steps are quite steep. I will strongly recommend everyone to visit this historical place. This is one of my top attractions in my Datong trip in 2024.#datong #hangingtemple

We stayed in Datong for 1 full day during January 2023. The temperature ranged between-10 and -20 so was pretty chilly and you need lots of layers. There are two main activities/ attractions in Datong, the Yungang Grottoes and The Hanging Temple. the Yungang Grottoes are close to the city about a 20min taxi from the centre and definitely worth a visit. The Hanging Temple is further away and requires a 1hr to 1hr and half taxi. Which our hotel helped organise. but this is definitely worth doing the Temple is just magical.#2023travelwish #datong

#外游 The first time I knew Xiankong Temple was in the final battle of Jin Yong's martial arts novel The Smiling Proud Wanderer. I was already fascinated by the steepness of the temple. This time I was able to personally climb the temple on Hengshan Mountain. I can only describe it as breathtaking. #外游

The hanging temple is becoming more and more famous in the world. Noted as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, this temple has a very unique story behind and it is also located surrounded by beautiful range of mountains. The queue to go up the temple can be very long during holiday season, so estimate about 1-2 hours of queuing before climbing up. #happynewyear #hangingtemple #china #happynewyear

In the morning light, I visited the Beiyue Hengshan, one of the five mountains, to see its Fanghua. According to legend, Pangu opened the world, chaos first opened, Qing is the sky, and turbid is the ground. He turned his body into a five-yellow, head to the east, and Beiyue Hengshan became the right arm of Pangu. Because it is located in the north, it is the place where everything is undone, so it is called Hengshan. For the lord of Wanshan in the North, it is also known as Hengzong. Hengshan West is Yanmenguan, East is Taihang Sanshan, Nanshi Sanjin, and the north is overlooking Yunmeng; the peaks are rushing, the momentum is magnificent, the towering, and the cross. This is too early, it is still hazy in the mountains, covering the clouds, only a little bit of sunlight in the thin layer of the clouds, this is still the most attractive. Yunxia hides gold and silver enamel, faintly circling the sun and moon. Sunny, the smoke is flying, and the fun is full of fun. When the clouds dispersed, the sky was more open, and Hengshan showed its original appearance. Under the lush greenery is a layer of dangerous rocks, the cliffs stand sideways, stone clips blue sky, as if a heart will fall into the abyss. The canyon is deep and you can only see the green cliffs under the cliff. It is no wonder that ancient poems have clouds: the rock is so heavy that it is unpredictable.

Traveling in Datong, climbing the Range Rover and exploring the ancient temple are also very good, so we drove to Hengshan in the morning. Beiyue Hengshan is located in Wuyuan County of Datong. It has been a famous scenic spot and the birthplace of Taoist culture since ancient times. It was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national-level scenic spots with the perfect combination of human landscape and natural landscape. In 2009, Beiyue Hengshan was included in the National Natural and Cultural Heritage List. Hengshan is the Beiyue in the "Five Sacred Mountains" and also a Taoist holy place.

Individuals are still advised to drive by car, or choose a transportation vehicle in the scenic area, or go to the middle of the mountain, or look at the scenery along the way. These ancient buildings are the essence of it.

Before I came to Shanxi, my impression of Datong was stuck in the impression of a lot of coal and good chaos, but I thought that after all, in addition to the provincial capital, the second largest city in Shanxi, but also the scenic spots and historic sites of Yungang Grottoes. Ancient buildings such as Hengshan. The deepest feeling of this trip was the day of walking in Hengshan, Beiyue.

Beiyue Hengshan is one of the five famous mountains in China. It has a history of more than 5,000 years. Countless emperors and literati singers have climbed to the top. It is also a place where everyone should come at least once in their lives. Hengshan sky high cloud, the platform is the cliff, the big white clouds are like the top of the head, at your fingertips, as the wind blowing from the valley continues to surge, people can not help but think of the poem "swinging chest" Stratus clouds."

Hengshan is not only beautiful scenery, but also an important birthplace of Taoism. There are many Taoist temples on the mountain. It is said that Zhang Guo, one of the Eight Immortals, is practicing in Hengshan. An early play of the ancient temple hanging over the mountainside of Cuiping Peak, the entire temple was built on a cliff, built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the temple is dedicated to "Buddha", "Tao" and "Russian The Buddhas of the three factions are the earliest existing temples of "three religions in one".

Hengshan Scenic Area includes Tianfengling Scenic Spot, Cuipingfeng Scenic Spot and Qianfoling Scenic Spot. At present, the development of Cuiping Peak and the main peak Tianfengling is relatively perfect. Generally speaking, Tianshan Hengshan refers to the Tianfengling Scenic Spot. Entering the ticket office of Tianfengling is a section of Panshan Road about 5 kilometers leading to the Hengshan parking lot. Looking up east in the parking lot, you can see the words "Heng Zong" on the cliff of Daziwan. This is the most distinctive stone in Hengshan and is regarded as the symbol of Hengshan. Then go up the hiking trail to the Guolao Ridge. There is a straight bend of nearly 90 degrees. The mountain wind is very large and is called "Hufengkou". There are many ancient pines on Hengshan Mountain. The hanging pine of Hufengkou is the most special. Its roots are all exposed, and it is located at the mouth of the wind. The sound of the trees is intertwined, like a tiger roaring.

It is said that four thousand years ago, I came here and sealed Hengshan as Beiyue. Qinhuang, Hanwu, Tangzong and Songzu have all been there. Not only that, but Li Bai, Jia Dao, Yuan Haowen and Xu Xiake also came. Can be seen the status of Hengshan. Among the Wuyue Mountains, Hengshans profound war culture and the unique hiding culture in which the religion survived in the chaos of war and the ancient witch culture of the Beiyue Emperor were beyond the reach of the other four mountains. The beauty of Hengshan could not be hidden. Compared with the other four mountains, Hengshan looks simple and ancient, does not show the mountain dew, has a unique low-key

There are as many restaurants in Shanxi as there are foods, so we often have different restaurants during the trip. Even if we walk into a house randomly, the taste will not be bad, and each dish is big, so don't worry about not eating enough. is a special snack in Wuyuan County, Datong City, Shanxi Province, and it is regrettable to Wuyuan.

In the minds of many travellers

Hengshan is such a mountain, this time it is the second time to board Beiyue. Friends who often climb mountain know that there are four seasons in the mountains, and the scenery in the four seasons is different. Although the weather is gloomy, occasionally the sun will also bring unexpected surprises. In the temple group of Hengshan, I encountered a halo, and took a group photo!

Hanging Temple, half a day high, three horsetails hanging in the air, this song is circulated locally in Hengshan, Shanxi. The image depicts the Hanging Temple. Before you walked to the Hanging Temple, you can see the cliffs of the Dashan Mountain. The red and yellow temples are tight. Tightly attached to the wall of the mountain, like a delicate and embossed embossed, inlaid in the cliffs between the mountains, looking at the delicate and dangerous.

Beiyue Hengshan, 10 kilometers south of Dayuan County, Datong, presents the feeling of being in the mountains of the South! Hengshan is in danger. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. There have been many important battles in the Hengshan Mountains. Many famous emperors and generals have played here. This is also the place where Hengshan is different from other four mountains. It is worth mentioning that Hengshan has been the place where the royal ceremonies have been held since ancient times, and its status is no less than that of Shandong's Taishan. The Hengshan Gorge is deep and dense, with many Taoist temples and Buddhist temples. The most famous are the Hanging Temple and the Beiyue Temple. The 18th view of Hengshan is also a must-see. Transportation: You can take the bus to the Wuyuan County Bus Station at the Datong Long-distance Station. The one-way time is about 1.5 hours. At the Wuyuan Bus Station, there is a car dedicated to Hengshan Scenic Area.

Three mountains and five mountains, I have all climbed. Every year, I go climbing with a group of friends. In 2015, it was the Beiyue Hengshan. It is still fresh in my memory. The friends are all over the mountain and they are exhausted. But when we reached the top of the mountain, everyone cheered and felt that their hard work was worth it. Very nice piece of memory.
