Devout pilgrims come here every day to offer incense and prayers, creating an endless stream of visitors. The scenery here is beautiful, attracting many domestic and foreign photography enthusiasts. It was once rated by 'National Geographic' as one of the ten most beautiful hanging temples. If you haven't been here yet, you must come and see it; it will definitely amaze you. No matter whether you come here in spring, summer, or autumn, there are different beautiful scenes. I personally prefer the spring and summer seasons. After a heavy rain, you can see the spectacular sight of rain curtains transforming into raindrops. The temple appears and disappears in the mist, and the poem 'I do not know what year it is in the palace in the sky tonight' always comes to mind. In such a place that seems like a fairyland, you can temporarily forget the vanity and noise of this world, and it is also the best way to clear your mind.

Hidden on the cliff, the most beautiful millennium-old temple - Ling Tong Mountain Ling Tong Mountain, also known as Dapeng Mountain, is not most captivating for its towering peaks, but for the millennium-old ancient temple - Ling Tong Yan Temple hidden on the cliff halfway up the mountain. The temple was built during the Tang Dynasty, and it is said that the incense and divination are very efficacious, attracting a bustling crowd. The beauty of the morning - Arriving in the morning, you will be greeted by the magnificent sight of the morning glow scattered among the mountains. The sunlight, filtering through the clouds and falling on the hanging temple, reflects a dazzling light. Capturing this moment allows the interplay of light and shadow to become the most beautiful fragment in your memories. The fusion of culture and nature - Reaching the hanging temple, you will witness the perfect fusion of culture and nature. Against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds, the temple on the cliff seems to float in mid-air, reflecting the surrounding landscape. Every photo taken is filled with strength and beauty. The magic of the waterfall in the rain - In the evening, if it happens to rain, it will be a breathtakingly beautiful experience. Climbing to the top of the mountain, you will see the waterfall pouring down, winding like a silver snake. Through the camera lens, you can capture the beauty of the raindrops intermingling with the waterfall, creating a quiet and mysterious atmosphere. A unique encounter on a rainy day - On a rainy day, the entire forest will be shrouded in mist. At this time, the mystery of the hanging temple is even more intense. The raindrops falling on the eaves of the temple make a pleasant sound, adding a layer of poetry to the scene and conveying the tranquility and vitality of the mountains. Address: Ling Tong Temple, Ling Tong Mountain Scenic Area, Pinghe, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province. Delicious food options - Beef intestine board: A special sauce from Daxi makes it extremely delicious. A unique taste that you can't find elsewhere - recommended at the lively commercial street by the streamside stalls. Banzilu - somewhat similar to the rice sieve noodles found in the city. However, the soup base and the texture of the noodles are different. Egg pancake - a special snack from Daxi. You need to poke a hole in the pancake and pour some special Daxi soy sauce into it with a soup spoon. Eat it while it's hot, and it's both fragrant and crispy.
