High up in China's Wuling Mountains sits two Buddhist temples dated 500years to the Ming Dynasty(1368 - 1644).

Perched atop a 330ft (100m) tall column of rock over 7,600ft (2,336m) above sea level, separated by a crevice that's spanned by a bridge.

This jaw-dropping spire is called Red Clouds Golden Summit and sits on a ridge on Mount Fanjing, or Fanjingshan an other worldly Unesco World Heritage Site in China's Wuling mountain range.

To reach the temples, visitors must climb over 8,800 steps, which takes around 4 hours.

Mount Fanjing, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is also filled with strange rock formation.

And is a hive of biodiversity, with over 2,000 native plant species and hundreds of endangered animals.
