Hanging Temple | The Mysterious Miracle on the Cliff

Hanging Temple | The Mysterious Miracle on the Cliff

| The Mysterious Miracle on the Cliff. Let's follow Kong Kong for a trip, First stop: Hanging Temple - The Hanging Temple was first built in the 15th year of the Taihe era of the Northern Wei Dynasty (491 AD), with a history of more than 1,500 years. The existing buildings were mainly rebuilt during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it has been repaired in various dynasties. - The Hanging Temple is built on the inward concave part of the mountainside of Cuiping Mountain, supported by 27 wooden beams. It 'hangs' on the edge of the cliff, as if facing an abyss, extremely steep. Its architectural style is unique, integrating mechanics, aesthetics, and religion, with exquisite craftsmanship, ingeniously combining wooden beams with the rock wall. It has stood firm through thousands of years of wind and rain, reflecting the superb wisdom of ancient craftsmen. - The Hanging Temple is a unique temple that accommodates the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Inside the temple, there are Chunyang Palace, Leiyin Hall, and the Three Religions Hall. In the Three Religions Hall, the three founders of the religions, Laozi, Buddha, and Confucius, gather together, reflecting the noble realm of national integration and world harmony of the Chinese nation. This is extremely rare in temple architecture across the country. Travel Guide: - Opening hours: Summer (April 1 to October 31) 08:00 - 18:00; Winter (November 1 to March 31 of the following year) 08:30 - 17:30. - How to get there: - Self-driving: Navigate to the Hanging Temple of Hengshan, Hunyuan County, Datong City, Shanxi Province. There is a parking lot in the scenic area, but it may be crowded during the peak tourist season. - Public transportation: First arrive at Datong City, then transfer to a shuttle bus to Hunyuan County, and then take a taxi or local bus to the Hanging Temple. - Travel route: - After arriving at the Hanging Temple, you can first admire the spectacular view of the temple hanging on the cliff from a distance and take photos. - Then enter the scenic area, observe the architectural structure and details of the Hanging Temple up close along the tour path, and feel its unique charm. Pay attention to the ingenious design and exquisite carvings of the buildings, focusing on visiting Chunyang Palace, the Three Officials Hall, and Leiyin Hall in the South Building, the Five Buddhas Hall, Guanyin Hall, and the Three Religions Hall in the North Building, and the Long Line Bridge connecting the South and North Buildings. - If time permits, you can also learn about the historical and cultural background of the Hanging Temple, appreciate its religious significance and the wisdom of the ancients. Listening to the guide's explanation can give you a deeper understanding of the Hanging Temple. - Notes: - The climate in the Hengshan area where the Hanging Temple is located is changeable, so it is recommended to bring clothing and sunscreen suitable for different weather conditions. - Since the temple is built on a cliff, pay attention to safety during the tour, follow the scenic area regulations, and do not climb or cross the railings.

Datong | Yungang Grottoes World Heritage Site

Datong | Yungang Grottoes World Heritage Site

Yungang Grottoes is located on the southern foot of Wuzhou Mountain in the western suburbs of Datong, Shanxi. It is one of the four major grottoes in China, along with the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, and the Maijishan Grottoes in Tianshui. It is the pinnacle of Chinese Buddhist art and a historical monument to cultural exchanges between China and the West during the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Northern Wei geographer Li Daoyuan praised it in his book "Commentary on the Water Classic": "Carving stones and opening mountains, building according to the rocks, the true form is huge and magnificent, rare in the world..." Yungang Grottoes has 254 caves and niches, with more than 59,000 statues, and a history of more than 1,500 years. Its large scale, damaged cave appearance, and the various Buddha statues, some solemn and dignified, some kind and benevolent, all reveal a captivating, mysterious, and charming smile, like a lingering sound that cannot be forgotten, reminiscent of the Angkor Wat in Cambodia, with its unique and incomplete beauty, and the unforgettable "Khmer smile"... The writer Bing Xin once described Yungang Grottoes like this: "Countless incarnations, carved all over the mountains, with supernatural craftsmanship, shocking the mind. One Buddha, one world, one wing, one hoof, one flower, one leaf, each with precision and rigor, beyond words and paintings. Looking back, there is infinite nostalgia, looking forward, there is boundless desire. Eyes cannot focus, feet cannot stop, like a thief suddenly entering a treasure house, losing one's mind, wisdom taken away, recalling afterwards, like a dream entering a heavenly palace, knowing in the heart but unable to speak, only then realizing the uselessness of words!" Yungang Grottoes, this treasure of the world, leaves one speechless, making writers feel that words are useless, how wonderful it is...

Datong, Great Differences|Traversing Ancient and Modern Times · A Glimpse of a Thousand Years

Datong, Great Differences|Traversing Ancient and Modern Times · A Glimpse of a Thousand Years

Reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles. Travel is a good medicine that helps you heal all the unhappiness in life; travel is a small lamp that helps you rediscover beauty in the dark; travel is a journey of cultivation that allows you to feel and maintain a love for life. I am a time traveler. As the saying goes, 'For underground relics, look to Shaanxi; for above-ground relics, look to Shanxi.' Datong is the second largest city in Shanxi Province, one of the first batch of national historical and cultural cities, and one of China's nine ancient capitals, with a profound cultural heritage and numerous historical sites. I don't know when, but overnight, Datong in Shanxi became popular nationwide. Although I had planned to visit Datong a few years ago, work reasons always prevented me from going. This year, I finally made up my mind to take advantage of this wave of Datong fever and squeezed out two days to experience this thousand-year-old ancient capital. On the first day, I set off at six in the morning, drove for four hours to Datong, and used the noon and afternoon time to visit the Yungang Grottoes and the Nine-Dragon Wall. In the evening, I went to the ancient city of Datong to eat food, enjoy the night view, and visit the night market. I suggest that friends traveling to Datong book a hotel near the ancient city in advance for convenience in both rest and play. Since I had to drive four hours back, on the second day, I only visited the Hanging Temple and the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda (a reminder: you need to book a ticket in advance to climb the Hanging Temple, otherwise, you can only view it from a distance). Besides these, there are many other essential attractions that I can only explore in-depth on a future visit. Although this trip was rushed, I truly felt the 'great differences in Datong.' When I stood in front of those pagodas, murals, buildings, and sculptures, it was far more shocking than seeing them online. I felt as if I was having a conversation across time and space with the ancients, experiencing the vicissitudes of a thousand years. It felt like every carving, every brick, and every tile carried the bloodline of Chinese civilization, flowing through the river of time to the present. Datong, I will come again!

Datong • Fahua Temple.

Datong • Fahua Temple.

A peaceful sanctuary, a must-visit temple in Datong, located on the north side of the city and Yang Street, rebuilt in 2012, imitating the Ming Dynasty style, with a four-entry courtyard layout. You need to have three or two hours or longer, and you might as well walk through every corner carefully. The treasures in the temple include the blood sutra that the abbot Wande Dharma Master closed for three years, which is extremely shocking and indescribable. With a devout heart, come to Fahua Temple, if you can, come more.
