The Wahuang Temple, situated in Shexian County, Handan, Hebei Province, has a history of over 1,400 years. Although from a distance it looks like it's clinging to the cliff, it's actually connected to the mountain behind it by nine iron chains. When the number of people upstairs exceeds a certain limit, the building can lean forward and the nine iron chains take up the slack. Hence the name "Hanging Temple."
