Xuankongsi , Hanging Monastery, Hunyuan, Shanxi, China

---

This site is very impressive but I was disappointed by the fact they build an horribly ugly parking just down. I will have opportunity to suffer this Chinese habit later on other touristic sites. The hanging monastery (Xuánkong Sì) was build such a way in order to avoid the 50 meters water rise in this canyon. It lasts from the VII century.
