"Black Myth: Wukong" became a famous scene, Xiaoxitian is actually the real version of "Buddhist Wonderland"

"Black Myth: Wukong" has become a huge hit. 🇨🇳🇨🇳Do you think it is just a virtual mythological world? Totally wrong! Every frame of it hides the shadow of reality. Today, we will reveal to you those jaw-dropping filming locations! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Do you still remember the shocking "Gods and Buddhas all over the sky" in the game? "Since you have seen the future, why not worship?" The prototype of this scene is actually in Xiaoxitian, Xi County, Shanxi! This ancient temple located on the top of Phoenix Mountain was originally named Qianfo Temple. There are more than 1,900 colored sculptures in the main hall, ranging from 3.2 meters in size to the size of a thumb. From heavenly palaces to 🏞️ gods, Buddhas and auspicious beasts, all of them are meticulously carved. Being in it, you feel like you have really stepped into the fairy palace and Buddhist kingdom. Moreover, except for the doors, windows and beams which are made of wood, the rest are all clay sculptures. After more than 300 years of wind and rain, the colors are still bright. It can be called the "swan song of hanging sculptures" and it shows the "extreme aesthetics" to the fullest. Even the game graphics cannot compare to its shocking effect! But Xiaoxitian is just the tip of the iceberg. The statues of the Twenty-Eight Constellations in the Jincheng Jade Emperor Temple, the hanging coffins in Shimen, Ningwu, the Hanging Temple... these real-life historical sites also make a stunning appearance in the game. Can you imagine what kind of sparks would be created when these ancient buildings and sculptures collide with the virtual mythological world? Want to see the real-life appearance of Black Myth: Wukong with your own eyes? Come to Shanxi and let your 5,000-year-old DNA get moving!
