The Hanging Temple is a Buddhist temple built into a cliff in Shanxi Province, China. Its halls and buildings are constructed along the cliff face using natural indentations and outcroppings, connected by corridors, bridges, and walkways. Built over 1400 years ago, it is unique for its cliff-side location and inclusion of Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian elements. The temple has survived for centuries due to its architectural design and location, which shields it from floods, rain, snow, and sunlight while reducing noise pollution according to Taoist principles.
