How much longer can the Hanging Temple, "nailed" to the cliff for 1,500 years, still stand?

The eternal masterpiece "nailed" to the cliff!
Supported by twenty-seven beams deeply embedded into the rock, holding up the entire pavilion.
👀 From afar, it looks like a jade palace in the clouds; up close, every step is heart-stopping.
The wooden planks beneath your feet tremble slightly, and through the gaps, you can see the abyss at the valley bottom.
Only at that moment do you truly understand the weight of the words "hanging in the air."

The Hanging Temple is like a frozen masterpiece, lightly suspended for 1,500 years.
In less than 200 square meters of cramped space, it simultaneously enshrines Sakyamuni, Laozi, and Confucius. The compassion of Buddhism, the naturalness of Taoism, and the benevolence of Confucianism smile at each other within this tiny space.

Rather than competing for supremacy on the cliff, the three teachings shake hands here—this is the wisdom of the Northern Wei craftsmen.
