Hanging Temple, China
The constructions were first constructed in 491 AD and have endured for many centuries since then, clinging to a crag of Hengshan mountain, where they are typically positioned at death-defying Heights. Intriguingly, the temple is dedicated to not just one religion but three, with Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism all practiced there and each represented in the temple by 78 statues and carvings. The temple is made up of 40 rooms connected by a bewildering network of passageways.

Cliff House, San Francisco
The Cliff House was primarily known to San Franciscans as a prime location for exquisite meals and breathtaking vistas. Since 1860, a restaurant has stood on this cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The Cliff House has served meals to three generations of San Franciscans and numerous tourists who have taken in the breathtaking views of the ocean. Over the years, there have been numerous cliff houses built. The SS Ohioan, a cargo ship, ran aground on the rocks close to the Cliff House on a dark night in 1936. Before radar, this was a prime location for shipwrecks. Strong currents, rocks, and deep fog made for a deadly combination, especially at night.
