Wahuang Palace on the Cliff

❤Recommended Reason: Wahuang Palace is located in Suobao Town, Shexian County, Handan City. It was built in the Northern Qi Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,400 years. The scenic area has stone carvings from the Northern Qi Dynasty, inscriptions from the Tang Dynasty, brick walls from the Song Dynasty, ancient sites of buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and cliff carvings of Buddhist scriptures, which are known as the "First Wall of Buddhist Scriptures in the World." It is the place where the goddess Nuwa "refined stones to mend the sky and molded clay to create humans" in mythology. It is known as the "Ancestral Temple of China" and is one of the five major ancestral worship sites in China. Wahuang Pavilion is the main building of Wahuang Palace. It is built on the top of the Northern Qi Dynasty's large grotto. It has three floors. The first floor is Qingxu Pavilion, which is dedicated to the goddess Nuwa and is a place for people to pray for peace. The second floor is Zaohua Pavilion, where people pray for children and grandchildren. The third floor is Butian Pavilion, where people pray for success, career, academic achievements, and wealth. Each floor has three corridors, making use of the original terrain, taking advantage of the mountain, and cleverly using nature. The pavilion is connected to the cliff with eight "horse nose" holes carved into the cliff, also known as the "hanging temple" or "living building," and is called the "natural and harmonious realm." Wahuang Pavilion is very popular and effective. 📝Tips: Take the cable car to Wahuang Palace, but you still need to walk a long way.
