Overview
The Yungang Grottoes were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, recognizing them as a “masterpiece of early Chinese Buddhist cave art” and acknowledging their role in the development of Buddhist art in China and East Asia. The Hanging Temple is renowned for its unique location, suspended on the cliffs of Hengshan Mountain about 50 meters above the ground. Many scenes in the recently popular game "Black Myth" are based on these two places. We will take you back to that historical period and immerse you in the game to experience these ancient monuments.We will provide a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle according to the number of people.It is worth noting that the Hanging Temple allows you to choose to climb into the temple to see the interior of the building and the cliff scenery at your feet, or just watch and take pictures from the ground. Our trip includes tickets to enter the temple, and the tour takes longer.
Itinerary
Hengshan Hanging Temple (Xuankong si)
Hanging Temple is build halfway up the side of a precipitous cliff of Cuiping Peak of Hengshan Mountain. Historical records trace the construction of the origin of the Hanging Temple back 1,400 years to the later period of the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534), although much was reconstructed in the later Dynasties. Hanging Temple is constructed almost entirely of wood. There are more than 40 halls from big to small housing more than 80 sculptures. Hanging Temple has established its unique position as China’s unique and remarkable feats of architectural engineering with its characteristics of gravity-defying location, unique construction, evenly distributed and well-balanced structure. It is worth noting that the Hanging Temple allows you to choose to climb into the temple to see the interior of the building and the cliff scenery at your feet, or just watch and take pictures from the ground. Our trip includes tickets to enter the temple, and the tour takes longer.

The 45 caves in Yungang Grottoes include some 254 niches with about 51,000 statues. Yugang Grottoes constitute a classical masterpiece of the first peak of Chinese Buddhist art. In March 1961, Yungang Grottoes was proclaimed as one of the first batch of Key Cultural Relics under the protection of Chinese State Council. In December 2001, Yungang Grottoes was included as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. In May 2007, Yungang Grottoes was proclaimed as a National AAAAA-grade Tourism Attraction of China. The expansion project in 2010 made Yungang Grottoes a world famous tourist sightseeing destination with its combination of a royal ancient Buddhist cave temple, royal garden and the complex of ancient architecture.
