Check out the breathtaking Hanging Temple in the northern Chinese city of Datong – a 1,500-year-old monastery that clings to a cliff with nothing more than wooden beams. Through holes drilled into the cliff and oak crossbeams inserted into them, the monastery halls hug the contours of the cliff-face, connected by timber ramps and corridors. The structure is not just a historical site of worship, but also a stunning engineering feat and a true wonder of the world. #Roadtoxiaokangsociety | CGTN

The Hanging Temple in Datong City, north China's Shanxi Province, was built over 1,500 years ago, and suspended on the cliffs of Hengshan Mountain, about 50 meters above the ground. The Hanging Temple is a truly amazing feat of engineering and one of the world's forgotten wonders. The whole temple has a wooden frame structure. Its position is well chosen, with rocks above blocking rainfall, and mountains on both sides blocking wind. It's also high enough to avoid damp and rot from flooding. #Chi
