Featured Hotels Near Suspended Temple
The Hanging Temple is one of Beijing's most jaw-dropping architectural wonders! Perched precariously on a cliff face, this 1,500-year-old temple is often called the "Floating Monastery". Its entire wooden structure uses mortise-and-tenon joints without a single nail, showcasing ancient Chinese craftsmanship. The most thrilling part? Walking on the creaky wooden walkways with a 100-meter drop beneath your feet – it's equal parts adrenaline and zen. Don't forget to snap that iconic "temple in mid-air" shot for some serious Instagram envy!
