The Eiffel Tower, renowned worldwide, stands 300 meters tall, supported by four concrete piers weighing 2,500 tons each. What if a building has no foundation? Can it hang in the air? The Eiffel Tower cannot, but the Xuankong Temple can. In 2010, Time Magazine listed the Hanging Temple as one of the "Ten most dangerous buildings in the world," alongside Italy's Torre Pendente (Leaning Tower of Pisa), attracting global attention. The Xuankong Temple, a temple floating on a cliff, stands majestically without a foundation of thousands of tons, only supported by a few wooden pillars. Despite enduring various disasters such as storms and earthquakes for over 1,500 years, the Hanging Temple remains intact. Here, you'll only hear screams of amazement. Many people believe the Hanging Temple is supported by the dozens of wooden pillars below, but in fact, some of these pillars are non-load-bearing; it is the horizontal beams inserted into the rocks that truly bear the weight.
