[Poster by chinadaily.com.cn]

The "International Insights into China" event, with journalists and students from countries such as Mongolia, Bangladesh, and Kazakhstan as participants, is ongoing from Oct 13 to 19. 

The event is guided by the Cyberspace Administration of China's network communication bureau, and co-hosted by the Cyberspace Administration of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Cyberspace Administration of Shanxi Province, and China Daily Website.

On Oct 17, the international delegation will visit the Hanging Temple in Datong, Shanxi province.

Perched dramatically on the cliffs of Mount Heng, one of China's Five Great Mountains, the Hanging Temple stands like a mirage in mid-air, suspended on the sheer rock face. With its intricate wooden structure, this architectural marvel from ancient times has withstood the elements for over a thousand years, embodying the perfect harmony between nature and man-made design.
