Black Myth: Wukong Filming Location | The Aesthetics of Feiyun Tower in Shanxi is Amazing!

The eaves extend in all directions; the bucket arches bloom like flowers; four golden pillars support the towering pavilion. If you look down, the glazed tiles dazzle in the sunlight; if you look up, the colorful view is made entirely of wood. Feiyun Tower is a representative work of Chinese mortise and tenon wooden architecture, and is known as the "Southern Tower and Northern Pagoda" together with the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda! 🌟Highlights: The bucket arches and eaves under each floor are the most complex and eye-catching parts of Feiyun Tower. There are as many as 345 sets of bucket arches under the eaves of each floor, and the number of bucket arches and the form of the eaves on each floor are different. The eaves and corners are also exquisitely carved, with elephant noses and dragon heads on the corners, two types of eaves, and locust heads, dragon heads, floating clouds, and rolling clouds on the corners, which are very decorative. The flying eaves are the most eye-catching feature of ancient buildings. Feiyun Tower has as many as 32 flying eaves. Each flying eave is topped by a helmeted warrior, each with a vivid expression and a majestic appearance. ❤Attractions: After Feiyun Tower is the Meridian Gate, the Temple of the Eastern Emperor uses a palace layout. The Meridian Gate is a building built in the Yuan Dynasty and repaired in the Ming Dynasty. It is wide and transparent, with seven rooms facing south and north, and six rafters deep into the single-eave hip roof. Through the Meridian Gate is the Xian Hall, which was built in the Yuan Dynasty and repaired in the Ming Dynasty, with seven rooms wide and six rafters deep. After the Xian Hall is the Xiang Pavilion, which was built in the Yuan Dynasty and repaired in the Ming Dynasty. The flat surface is square, with a cross hip roof and complete glazed ridge beasts. There are four coiled dragon stone pillars, three of which are wrapped in floating clouds and coiled dragons, and only the southeast corner is a single dragon. Finally, there is the main hall of the Eastern Emperor, which was built in the Yuan Dynasty and repaired in the Ming Dynasty. It is five rooms wide, eight rafters deep, and has a double-eave hip roof. 🕐️Scenic Area Opening Hours: 08:00-17:00 🎫Scenic Area Ticket: CNY 10 📍Detailed Address: 8 Xidajie, Wanrong County, Yuncheng City
