Black Wukong explores the Hanging Temple: a brave exploration of the millennium spectacle of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.

The Hanging Temple, also known as the Xuankong Temple, is one of China's famous Buddhist temples, located at the foot of Hengshan Mountain in Hunyuan County, Datong City, Shanxi Province. It was built during the Northern Wei Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,500 years. The architectural feature of the Hanging Temple lies in its unique geographical location and structural design. It hangs on a cliff, and there is a bottomless canyon below, giving people a thrilling and exciting feeling. The architectural complex of the Hanging Temple is mainly composed of two parts: the upper temple and the lower temple. The upper temple is located at a higher place on the cliff and is the main place for worshiping the Buddha. It includes buildings such as the Daxiong Hall and the Guanyin Pavilion. The lower temple is located at a lower place on the cliff, mainly the living and practice area of ​​the monks. The entire temple is connected by plank roads and corridors. Tourists can visit various halls along these passages. The architectural style of the Hanging Temple is unique, integrating the cultural elements of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, reflecting the diversity and inclusiveness of ancient Chinese religious architecture. The sculptures and murals in the temple are also very exquisite, showing the superb skills of ancient craftsmen. The Hanging Temple is not only a religious holy place, but also a famous tourist attraction. It attracts a large number of tourists and believers to visit and worship every year. Its unique architectural style and profound cultural heritage make it an important part of China's and even the world's cultural heritage.
