The Hanging Temple
(simplified Chinese: 悬空寺; traditional Chinese: 懸空寺; pinyin: Xuánkong Sì)
is a temple built into a cliff near Mount Heng in the province of Shanxi. The closest city is Datong, 65 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 1400 years ago, this temple is unique not only for its location on a sheer precipice but also because it includes Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian elements.
New York City is made up of five boroughs, the most famous being Manhattan. Manhattan was originally owned by the Algonquin Indians until it was purchased by Dutch settlers in 1626 and later captured by the British in 1664. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, millions of immigrants arrived in New York, particularly through Ellis Island, with many settling in ethnic neighborhoods in the city. Some of the most well known landmarks in New York include the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Broadway theaters, and skyscrapers like the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building. However, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Joshua Tree National Park is located in southern California and features unique Joshua trees and desert scenery. The park covers around 800,000 acres and offers hiking trails, rock climbing, and opportunities to view wildlife and rare plants. Visitors can camp, enjoy scenic drives, and experience the beauty of the Mojave and Colorado desert ecosystems protected within the national park.
