CGTN published this video item, entitled “Aerial China: The Hanging Temple – a shrine built into a sheer cliff” – below is their description.
For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video 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.
