DESTINATIONS - Xuankong Si - The Temple In The Sky

Xuankong Si in China

Tucked into the cliffs of Mount Heng, high above the valley floor, stands Xuankong Si—the Hanging Temple of Shanxi. Built more than 1,500 years ago by a solitary monk and carved into sheer stone, it has withstood time, weather, and war. In tonight’s story, we trace its origins, explore its gravity-defying design, and listen to the echoes of three ancient teachings that still linger in its halls.
Soft candle sounds in the background. Let the stillness rise as you walk a path between sky and stone.
