A grotto on the sheer cliffs of the Taihang Mountains, difficult to reach but once there, you won't want to leave

Discovered from a book, this place is suspended on the sheer cliffs deep within the Taihang Mountains— Jindeng Temple Grotto. First chiseled during the Northern Zhou of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, It underwent various degrees of expansion during the Ming Zhengde, Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli periods. Nowadays, it is almost forgotten and hard to reach. The weather in the Taihang Mountains is ever-changing, With visibility ranging from one to ten meters, Every turn on the mountain road is an illusion. The natural stones in the grotto are very hard, Which shows how difficult it was to carve the relief sculptures at that time. In the damp Water Curtain Cave, A thin layer of water vapor seeps and flows all year round, When you reach out and touch it, It feels icy cold.
