Datong, Shanxi, China- March 2, 2013: the Hanging Temple Mt. Heng, located 60 kilometers southeast of Datong, China, in the Shanxi province, is one of the world’s forgotten wonders. Clinging to a crag of Hengshan mountain, in apparent defiance of gravity, it consists of 40 rooms linked by a dizzying maze of passageways. The temple is said to have been built during 386-534. It was constructed by drilling holes into the cliffside into which the poles that hold up the temples are set. Here is external view of the temple.

Mian Shan ('Silky' Mountain) is characterized by its natural landscapes, especially its cultural and religious relics. It is also the birthplace of the Qingming Festival (Deep Cleansing Day), which is one of China's most important traditional festivals and an element of intangible cultural heritage.
