Temple of doom: Worshippers at Chinese holy site better watch their feet as it's carved into a 260ft cliff face

I think those who built the temple tense of centuries ago have some spiritual strength, if not it would not be a delicate building such like that. The clean air may help it stand intact for centuries. If the air is humid the wooden building may have been consumed by termites.

This temple is over 900 years old. The Tower of Pisa is only over 600years old and needed later shoring up.

Beautiful.

I've been to the Xuang Kong Si hanging temple north of Datong. It is much more exciting, it seems to be pegged to the verticle rock face with bamboo poles. The day I went there were people crawling on their knees across the exposed paths and crying as they went. The whole of China is fascinating. Not far from the hanging temple and huge caves with hundreds of buddhas carved into the sides of the caves. Some are three or four stories high.

Gorgeous. Bucket list item.

What a beautiful and magical place. Looks safer than some of the buildings built today!. Hopefully the tourists contributing to the repairs to keep this bit of history going.

Impressive engineering!

Amazingly beautiful! Are any monks still in this temple?

Amazing! China was very different once.

Wish they'd shown the view looking out from the temple.

'after', three times in one sentence. Top journalism....

I'm pretty sure the saying is, "watch your step" not "watch your feet"

Awesome

Well it took DM 870 years to report on this but better late than never.
