Dengfeng, Ancient administrative center in Henan, China
The county-level city of Dengfeng spreads across mountainous terrain at an elevation of 2400 meters in the Zhengzhou prefecture of Henan province.
Dengfeng gained prominence during the Tang and Song dynasties as emperors constructed sacred buildings to demonstrate their authority through astronomical and religious structures.
The Shaolin Temple within Dengfeng serves as the principal center for Chinese martial arts instruction, drawing students and visitors from numerous countries.
Visitors reach Dengfeng via bullet train to Longmen Luoyang station, followed by local transportation to access the temple complexes and astronomical sites.
The Gaocheng Observatory in Dengfeng contains specialized architectural elements designed for precise astronomical measurements during ancient Chinese periods.
