The Hanging Temple or Hanging Monastery (simplified Chinese: 悬空寺; traditional Chinese: 懸空寺; pinyin: Xuánkong Sì) is a temple built into a cliff (75 m or 246 ft above the ground) near Mount Heng in Hunyuan County, Shanxi province, China. The closest city is Datong, 64.23 kilometers to the northwest. Along with the Yungang Grottoes, the Hanging Temple is one of the main tourist attractions and historical sites in the Datong area. Built more than 1,500 years ago, this temple is notable not only for its location on a sheer precipice but also because it includes Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian elements. The structure is kept in place with oak crossbeams fitted into holes chiseled into the cliffs. The main supportive structure was hidden inside the bedrock.According to the history of Shangshen Mountain, construction of the temple was by only one man, a monk named Liao Ran (了然). Over a history of more than 1,600 years many repairs and extension led to its present day scale.This temple is over 50 meters tall.  From Wikipedia

चीन के शांची प्रांत में हेंग पहाड़ी पर बना यह बुद्ध मंदिर हैरत जगाता है। अब से लगभग 1600 साल बने इस मंदिर के बारे में कहा जाता है कि इसे लियाओ रन नामक भिक्षु ने अकेले बनाया। मंदिर से कम रोचक नहीं है इस तक पहुँचने का रास्ता। कई जगह तो केवल छेनी से चट्टान काटकर इसे बनाया गया है।
