The ticket is fine, but the problem is that to enter the temple, an additional ticket is required, which is not included in the original admission. Otherwise, it's good, no issues.
This ticket only grants access to the area, and that's it. You cannot go up to the temple. Be aware that you also can't get tickets once you're there, as there's a daily limit on entries. I don't think it's clear that it doesn't include access to the temple itself, and they should specify that. It was a big disappointment to travel so far and not be able to enjoy that wonder.

Guide

The Hanging Temple is located on the cliffs of Cuiying Peak in Jinlong Gorge, Mount Hengshan. It was first built during the Northern Wei Dynasty, making it over 1,500 years old. It is one of the best-preserved high-altitude wooden cliffside structures existing in China. Arriving at the foot of Mount Hengshan, one can see the Hanging Temple suspended halfway up the mountain from afar. The entire temple hangs on the steep cliff face, cleverly built to conform to the concave and convex parts of the cliff, appearing exceptionally staggered and rhythmic. Visitors walk on the suspended wooden walkways inside the temple, experiencing the magical architectural charm of the Hanging Temple.
