"Ne Zha"’s Heavenly Palace Actually Exists!
The Heavenly Palace in "Ne Zha" Actually Exists!
In 22 days, it raked in billions at the box office, landing among the top 10 globally... "Ne Zha" has repeatedly created miracles in Chinese cinema! It's not just this little demon child who has broken barriers, but also the millennia-old elegance and boundless spirit of China.
Those who have seen the movie will surely remember the Jade Void Palace. As the venue for the "Immortal Ascension Examination," its towering halls stand tall against the sky, built on white jade with turquoise tile roofs, featuring outstretched eaves and lifelike mythical beasts. Majestic, grand, and sacred, it embodies all the essence of Chinese aesthetics. It may not be a skyscraper, but it fulfills all our fantasies of a "Heavenly Palace"!
Today, let's bring animation into reality. We've found nine "Heavenly Palaces" that resemble the Jade Void Palace in "Ne Zha." Listen to the wind and clouds, observe the world, and experience the feeling of being a celestial being in the human world, just like Ne Zha (except climbing up might be a bit tiring).
Fanjingshan, Guizhou · Golden Summit
Fanjingshan, known as the "most famous mountain in Guizhou," combines strangeness, danger, elegance, grandeur, and sacredness. Peaks appear and disappear amidst the swirling clouds and mist, while ancient temples stand alone atop precipitous mountain peaks.
Zhongnan Mountain, Shaanxi · Southern Five Terraces
The Southern Five Terraces, rising abruptly on the northern slope of the eastern section of the Qinling Mountains, are known as the "divine and beautiful area of Zhongnan." The temples resemble a celestial palace in the clouds, a famous mountain that combines natural beauty and cultural heritage.
Mount Taimu, Fujian · One Tile Temple
One Tile Temple has been rooted in Mount Taimu, the "Immortal Capital on the Sea," since the Ming Dynasty. Its main hall was rebuilt in 2010, located between cliffs on the mountaintop, cast entirely in bronze, resplendent and magnificent.
Laojun Mountain, Henan · Golden Summit
Laojun Mountain is said to be the place where Lao Tzu, Li Er, retreated and cultivated. The Golden Summit architectural complex on its peak stands on a precipice, appearing magnificent against the backdrop of the sea of clouds and snow, like a celestial palace on earth.
Mount Zi Zhu, Tibet · Zi Zhu Temple
Mount Zi Zhu has an altitude of about 4,800 meters. Strange peaks rise abruptly, and grotesque rocks stand tall. Zi Zhu Temple, built on the southern side of the mountain, is one of the highest temples in Tibet, with a history of thousands of years of incense burning.
Wudang Mountains, Hubei · Golden Hall
Built in the Ming Dynasty, it sits atop Tianzhu Peak at an altitude of 1,612 meters. Surrounded by peaks, it forms a natural wonder of "Seventy-two Peaks Facing the Golden Summit." As the clouds and mist part, the celestial pavilion is revealed.
Mount Emei, Sichuan · Golden Summit
"Many celestial mountains in the land of Shu, but Mount Emei is unmatched." Mount Emei, at an altitude of 3,099 meters, is shrouded in clouds and mist for an average of 322 days a year. Huazang Temple, part of the Golden Summit architectural complex, is the highest Han Buddhist temple in China.
Dingdu Peak, Beijing · Dingdu Pavilion
A modern imitation of ancient architecture, at an altitude of about 680 meters, it is the legendary place where "King Yan ascended Dingdu Peak, and Liu Bowen built Beijing overnight." It is also a good place to enjoy the scenery of Beijing.
Mount Tai, Shandong · Hongde Tower
Mount Tai, the "first of the Five Sacred Mountains," is the most famous mountain in China! "The golden bell tolls to welcome a new journey of ten thousand miles." The 2018 Spring Festival Gala's Shandong branch chose Hongde Tower on Mount Tai for the midnight bell-ringing ceremony.
