The temple was built on an earthen platform in the vast desert west of Xuankong Village. It was six to seven meters above the ground and looked like it was suspended in the air from afar, hence the name Xuankong Temple. Xuankong Temple was built 1400 years ago in the late Northern Wei Dynasty. It was the only unique temple in China that combined Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. It was listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in Shanxi Province. Xuankong Village was located in Censhan Township, Ningwu County, Shanxi Province. The entire village was located on a cliff that was more than 2300 meters above sea level. Looking up from the bottom of the valley, it was like a castle in the air, with its back against the cliff and its face facing the canyon, forming a unique landscape that was isolated from the surrounding world. Xuankong Village was one of the top ten ancient villages in China. In recent years, through targeted poverty relief and tourism development, it had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The highlights of Xuankong Temple included the boardwalk, the north tower, the uneven heights of the temples and pavilions, as well as the magnificent scenery of the towering mountain walls. When the clouds and mist arrived, the tourists felt as if they were in a palace in the sky. It was a wonderful feeling. In addition, the architectural art of Xuankong Temple was also very superb. The entire temple was suspended on the steep cliff, giving people the feeling of flying in the air. It was very dangerous and strange. The visitors could experience the unique charm of the Xuankong Temple by climbing, drilling through the skylight, passing through the grottoes, crossing the boardwalk, walking along the corridor, and so on.

Xuankong Temple was located between the cliffs of Cuiping Peak on the west side of Jinlong Gorge, Hengshan Mountain, Hunyuan County, Datong City, Shanxi Province.
