1. 5.0 Yong'an Temple (4 reviews)
   - Must See
   Monday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites
   
   
   Inside this finest temple you'll come across the images you would not be able to take your eyes off.. The frescos depicting the Yuan Dynasty are so rich and so engaging, and captivating in the thousands of stories they tell you. The mastery of colour and technique with which they are delivered is unque. I wish I could describe, but there are simply no words. It is bound to make your day if you happen to be in the northern Mt. Hengshan. See more..

3. 5.0 Daxiong Hall of Dayu Temple (1 review)
   - 山西应县净土寺
   Monday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings
   
   
   出了应县木塔直接左转走到没有仿古建筑为止再往里走到一边是民居一边是全部废墟的地方向左看.穿过一片旧城改造的废墟和成堆的垃圾来到了地图上标的净土寺，寺院几近坍塌正在修理，墙面全靠外面的木头顶住让它不坍塌，内部佛像和壁画全让塑料布包了起来，深入工地，在它还未被修成一座庸俗的假古董前真实记录了一下它的原貌。整个大殿的天花美得令人惊叹惊讶。窒息。分九格，壁画还在但感觉应该是清或民国补得，颜色很好很完整但是和天花的精致程度相比不是一个档次的。尤其大佛头顶的设计被开了4格明床。倘若不是黄昏应该太阳光直射大佛脸部看上去更加佛光四射，建筑年代不详，谁改的不详，只听当地人说和木塔差不多年代 See more..
   
4. 5.0 Heng Mountain Forest Park (1 review)
   - Incredible
   Monday: 6:30 AM - 7:00 PM Amusement & Theme Parks
   
   
   Spiritual, picturesque and more extended and enriching than the Hanging Temple. Excellent infrastructure, which will take you on the other side of the mountain. If you don't like hights - just close your eyes. Once on the other side, perfectly walkable. Can be fitted into a 3.5 hour journey. See more..
   
5. 4.5 Datong Longshan Mountain (4 reviews)
   - Known as the Hanging Temple
   Monday: 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM Mountains
   
   
   Absolutely magnificent, just thinking about how such a temple could be constructed 700 years ago that literally hangs off the side of Hengshan Mountain. It is not a cheap entry (RMB 125) but the breathtaking view from the top is definitely worth it. Some of the stairways are a little scary but probably thats more to do with hanging over the edge of the mountain!! See more..
   
6. 4.0 Mount Hengshan Scenic Spot (41 reviews)
   - Choose the best season!
   Monday: 6:30 AM - 7:00 PM Mountains
   
   
   I paid my visit by the end of March, when was not many tourists. I was the only one on the cable car. To be honest, I felt quite scary, when seeing all empty cabins around me. I tried to focus on taking photos to ignore my fear. The view was fantastic!! Be aware that the entrance for cable car is not the same entrance for hikers. I was lost when I came down on foot. But luckily I hire a car with chauffeur and he knew where I would came out. The mountains were still covered by the snow, with the green pine trees. I’d say this is the best season for visiting Mount Heng. It was very quiet. You might be the only one visitor. It was a bit raining, so the steps were very slippery. I fell down on a quite steep road. According to Taoist culture, the stairs to the temple are long and steep! So be careful in a rainy day. See more..

   - Taoist culture
   Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites
   
   
   After climbing the long and steep stairs, you will see a real Taoist temple. If you don’t believe their gods, no need to buy anything from them. See more..

   My fiends complaint when they visited there last summer. But apparently I got totally different opinion when paying the visit in the early Spring! See more..
   
9. 1.0 Tangtou Spa (1 review)
   - 很差
   Monday: 6:30 AM - 7:00 PM Spas
   千辛万苦，一路跋涉，特别令人失望！骗人的地方！！完全是一个小村子，连个吃饭的地方都没有，晚上一片黑暗，只有昂贵的住宿一个床铺200元，与其硬件，软件形成鲜明对比！ See more..
