Hanging Temple Talentless Troll
The Hanging Temple (simplified Chinese: ???; traditional Chinese: ???; pinyin: Xuánkong Sì) is a temple built into a cliff near Mount Heng in the province of Shanxi. The closest city is Datong, 65 kilometers to the northwest. Along with the Yungang Grottoes, the Hanging Temple is one of the main tourist attractions and historical sites in the Datong area. Built more than 1400 years ago, this temple is unique not only for its location on a sheer precipice but also because it includes Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian elements.

I was watching a show were they were talking about the renovation of it and that they put in all these useless pillars just so that it looked safer for tourists

I've been there - it's safe and pretty awesome. The worst thing that happened to a few of our group was bumping their heads at the ceiling while escalating the short, steep stairs in there.
The place has been rebuild for mass tourism - nowadays there's a huge parking lot right behind where the photographer in the OP picture is standing, a dam to his left and broad stairs and bridges in front leading up to the temple.

yeah, the fact that there are like 30 crapy memento-shop and like 15 tourbuses along aswell makes it kind of less awesome. It would have been much more awesome if they had let you get in like they did in the founding-days i.e by rope from the clifftop above under a rushing river
