This age-old temple, renowned for its perilous position on a cliffside in Northern China, was reopened in just in time for the May Day holiday in 2016, following repairs after damage from a rockfall in the previous year. In 2010, Time Magazine ranked the Hanging Temple among the ‘World’s Top 10 Most Dangerous Architectures’. The tour also includes the stunning Yungang Grottoes, home to over 51,000 statues. The tallest statue measures 17 meters, and the smallest one only 2 cm! It was recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 2001. A must-visit day tour from Datong!
