The monastery was built on the cliffs of Mt. Hengshan, one of the five most sacred mountains in China. The caves and halls are connected by winding corridors and bridges.

Such a beautiful temple. The panorama from above is great too. Be sure to bring good shoes because in some parts the ground was a little slippery. Don't worry though, there's no chance of you falling down the temple! :) You also need to know that the entrance and the exit are in the same location, so you need to come back from where you got in. Make sure to follow the right paths for entry and exit or you might stumble across someone complaining when you climb down the stairs! :)
