Start your journey of destiny in Pingyao Ancient City.

Spend a day walking the real-life version of the "Journey to the West" from Black Myth: Wukong. Here's your guide! 💥Day 1: Morning: First, visit Zhenguo Temple. The tranquil and serene atmosphere here seems to transport you back in time to have a conversation with history. Every brick and tile exudes an ancient aura. You might even catch a glimpse of the Monkey King flickering between history and mythology. Then, head to Shuanglin Temple. The solemn and majestic temple is filled with lifelike clay sculptures. The bucket arches are a masterpiece, showcasing the wisdom and craftsmanship of ancient people. Afternoon: Stroll along the ancient city wall of Pingyao. The ancient city wall guards even more ancient times. Stand on the city wall, look into the distance, and feel the vicissitudes and heaviness of history. Then, visit the City God Temple. The peacock blue and glazed tiles complement each other. The temple is filled with the scent of incense, creating a strong sense of sacredness. Evening: The area under the city tower is bustling with people. Step into the courtyard in the ancient city. Inside the courtyard wall is a different world. You can almost see the grand plans of the Jin merchants back in the day. The Jin merchants started their journey to the world from here, embracing everything and connecting the world. 💥Day 2: Spend the whole day exploring Pingyao Ancient City in depth. Every corner here hides treasures, making it more mythical than mythology itself. The ancient and modern perfectly overlap here, and you will find countless surprises. You can visit some lesser-known alleys and experience the tranquility and uniqueness. Imagine the story of Black Myth: Wukong, as if you were in that magical world. 🌈Come to Pingyao! Instead of longing for mythology, why not set off now? Where is the road? It's under your feet.
