Shanxi, datong, hunyuan. Tuesday, February 20, 2007. The Hanging Monastery (Xuankongsi) at Hunyuan. This is the unbelievable wonderful Hanging Monastery (Xuánkōngsì) at Hunyuan, which “hangs” at the sacred Mount Heng, at five kilometers west of the town Hunyuan, 65 kilometers from Datong. Built more than 1400 years ago, this temple is unique not only for its location, but also because it includes Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian elements. Posted by chinaunlimited weblog.
