Da Ci Yan Temple: The only temple in Jiangnan built on the edge of a cliff, known as the 'Hanging Temple of Jiangnan'

I am Guanhai Tingtao tour+ global traveler, please follow me! (This is the 1475th travel shot published in 51 countries and 839 places on 5 continents) The scenery of Jiangnan is usually known for its gentle and beautiful, such as the Hanging Temple and other bold and dangerous buildings are mostly built in the north, it is rare to see in Jiangnan. Da Ci Yan Temple, located 25 kilometers south of Jiande City, Zhejiang, is the only temple in Jiangnan built on the edge of a cliff. It has the same ingenuity as the Hanging Temple of Hengshan in Shanxi, so it is also known as the 'Hanging Temple of Jiangnan'. Da Ci Yan was first opened in the Yuan Dynasty and has a history of more than 700 years. Because the temple has been worshiping the King of Ksitigarbha and showing miracles, it is very famous in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and the incense is very prosperous, known as 'Zhejiang's Little Jiuhua'. In Da Ci Yan, temples, plank roads, incense corridors, and ropeways all reflect a 'hanging' character. The main temple of the King of Ksitigarbha is half embedded in the rock belly and half hanging in the air, which is quite spectacular. In the scenic area, there are also attractions such as the main peak of Da Ci Yan, known as the 'First Natural Standing Buddha in China', as well as the Double-faced Buddha, Tianxiang Hanging Corridor, Thousand-year Ginkgo, Yuhua Lake, etc., you might as well go and see.
