In the long history of China, many representative buildings have been preserved, and these buildings have now become very famous scenic spots and are constantly visited by people. In many places in China, there will be temple buildings. These buildings are not only places for monks to clean up, but also a reflection of a certain Chinese culture. In our country, however, there is a very special temple. It is built on a cliff, and the whole temple is supported by a wooden pillar. This is Ganluyan Temple.

Ganluyan Temple is located in Fujian Province of our country. It has been more than a thousand years now. This building is absolutely unique in our country, so many people will sigh unconsciously after seeing this temple. Although this temple is supported by only one pillar, it has been preserved for thousands of years and has never collapsed. People continue to come to see this magical building.

To be precise, this temple was built in a cave on the mountain. The height of the cave is more than 80 meters, and the width of the top is also 30 meters, but the bottom of the cave is only a dozen meters. In fact, before the establishment of Ganluyan Temple, there was a temple in this place, but it disappeared for some reason. Later, another monk discovered this place and designed and built the present Ganlu Temple.

This temple is so attractive not only because of the shape of the building, but also because of its unique construction technology, not only does it rely on one pillar to support the entire temple, but the entire building does not use nails. After this building became famous, some Japanese experts came here to study the building, hoping to learn from this building and develop earthquake-resistant buildings after returning to China.

It can be seen that this Ganluyan Temple is not only a tourist attraction, but also has a very special meaning and is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese people. For such a temple, do you want to see it for yourself?
