Hanging
Monastery
 Lying
outside the town of Hunyuan, the Hanging
Monastery is 75km southeast of Datong. It
was built on sheer cliffs above Jinlong
Canyon with a history about 1400 years.
On the base of the natural hollows and outcrops
along the contour of the cliff, many halls
and pavilions were built, which are connected
each other by corridors, bridges, boardwalks.
The most important building
is the Three Religions Hall where Buddha,
Laotzu and Confucius sit side by side. In
recent years, the hall has been repaired
and some sections of it have been closed
to outside.
