Xuankong Temple
 Xuankong,
or Suspended Temple, lies 5 kilometers east of the city of Yang- yuan,
between the two peaks of the Beiyue- Mountains. The temple has a history
of more than 1,400 years. About 40 buildings survived are scattered halfway
up the mountain on the cliff face or slopes, from 26 to 50 meters above
the foot of the mountain. The temple buildings which seem to be hanging
in midair on the cliffs are unique in structure. Within the temple are
numerous pictures and 78 color statues made of copper, iron or stone. |
