The Little Monster of Langlang Mountain's Journey to the West Unlocks a Relaxed Life

After watching "The Little Monster of Langlang Mountain," were you also deeply captivated by the stunning filming locations in Shanxi? Shanxi has specially launched two "Little Monster Pilgrimage Routes" to take you on a unique adventure following the footsteps of the little monster. Northern Shanxi Route (Ancient Architecture and Tranquility Tour) Route: Datong Shanhuasi Temple → Yong'an Temple (scene of the film's first battle) → Xinzhou Foguang Temple (prototype of "Little Leiyin Temple") → Taiyuan Jin Temple (double round window opera stage) → Tianlongshan Grottoes. Highlights: The solemn murals of Liao and Jin dynasty temples, the light and shadow of the Tang dynasty wooden Foguang Temple, and the millennia-old accumulation of grotto Buddha statues. Southern Shanxi Route (Magnificent Mountains and Rivers Tour) Route: Lüliang Qikou Ancient Town (Yellow River fireworks) → Linfen Hukou Waterfall (rushing courage) → Changzhi Chongqing Temple (Song dynasty Arhat colored sculptures) → Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon (fantastical landforms) → Jincheng Tiebosi Temple (Ming dynasty Twenty-Four Heavenly Deities statues). Highlights: Emotional release in the roar of the Yellow River, natural healing in the Taihang Canyon, and the visual impact of colored sculpture art. These two carefully planned routes connect Shanxi's millennia-old ancient architecture with its magnificent mountains and rivers, allowing you to touch the warmth of history while fully releasing life’s pressures in nature. Along the way, you will encounter rustic temples and majestic city walls, feeling the profound cultural heritage accumulated over thousands of years; at the same time, you can stroll among green mountains and clear waters, enjoying complete relaxation of body and mind. This is a journey that combines cultural exploration with natural healing, letting you find your own relaxation and ease in every inch of Shanxi’s land. Come to Shanxi and unlock your relaxed life together with the little monster!
