Do you know how Xiaoxitian became popular because of Black Myth: Wukong?

🧸♥️ Xiaoxitian Travel Guide 🏞🏝 Overview Xiaoxitian, also known as Qianfo Temple, is located on the top of Phoenix Mountain in Xixian County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province. This attraction has a long history. It was built by Master Dongming in the second year of the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty. It is famous for its exquisite hanging sculptures and is known as one of the three major hanging sculptures in China⛩️🛕. The figures in the hanging sculptures are vivid and lifelike, and the Buddha statues are calm and kind, especially the painted hanging sculptures in the Mahavira Hall, which are even more stunning. 🚄 Transportation and Tickets 🚗 Transportation: It is recommended to drive or charter a car. Depart from Linfen City and take the G5 Beijing-Kunming Expressway to Xixian County. 🎫 Tickets: CNY 35 for adults and CNY 18 for half-price tickets. Tickets can be purchased online, but must be exchanged at the offline ticket window. 📎 Travel Tips 1. ⏲️ Best time to visit: In the morning, when the light is good, you can better appreciate the splendor of the hall. 2. 💡 Safety: The scenic area is only accessible on foot. There are more than 100 steps before entering Xiaoxitian, which may be inconvenient for the elderly. 3. 📜 Protect cultural relics: As a cultural relic protection unit, visitors should respect and protect cultural relics, and avoid pushing or making noise. 🏛 Main Attractions and Hanging Sculpture Art 🕍 Mahavira Hall: The essence of the entire scenic area. The upper part of the main wall is the heavenly palace and Buddha pavilion, and the lower part is the five Buddha niches, with a total of five Buddha statues. The north and south walls are painted with patterns such as the six desires and the glazed holy realm. There are also 33-story heavenly palaces and pavilions in the hall, with bright colors, carved beams and painted buildings, and full and vivid figures. 📌📍 Other Notes 1. 🥘 Dining: There are not many dining options near the scenic area, but you can taste the local specialty Yuluxiang pears in Xixian County, which are crisp and sweet. 2. 🏠 Accommodation: Since Xixian County is small, there are not many hotel options. If you have requirements for accommodation conditions, you can consider staying in Linfen City. 3. 🎋 Environmental protection: Please do not litter in the scenic area and protect this precious cultural heritage. ♥️♦️ Summary Xiaoxitian attracts countless tourists with its exquisite hanging sculpture art and unique cultural charm. When visiting, please maintain respect and protect this precious cultural heritage. Whether you are a culture lover or a travel expert, Xiaoxitian is worth a visit. I hope this guide can help you better plan and enjoy this trip.
