Step into a world of mythology at Shuanglin Temple.

The recent release of the game "Black Myth: Wukong" has been a hit, with its stunning special effects. However, at Shuanglin Temple in Pingyao, Shanxi, you don't need any special effects to experience the charm of real Eastern mythology. Shuanglin Temple is located in Pingyao County, Shanxi. It is a historic temple cultural heritage site and is known as the "Treasure House of Eastern Colored Sculpture Art". The more than 2,000 painted clay sculptures in the temple, whether they are Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, or Heavenly Kings, are all lifelike and have different expressions. They inherit the excellent traditions of colored sculptures from the Tang, Song, Liao, Jin, and Yuan dynasties, and also show the superb skills of colored sculpture art in the Ming Dynasty. ✅️【Key check-in points]: 1. Sakyamuni Hall: Sakyamuni sits high in the middle, and the four walls use round carving, deep and shallow relief techniques to show the legendary story of the founder of Buddhism. Don't forget to see the Guanyin crossing the sea behind the shadow wall, which is the essence of Shuanglin Temple's colored sculpture! 2. Thousand Buddha Hall: There are more than 500 colored sculptures in the hall, accounting for a quarter of the temple. The face of Guanyin is calm and charming, and the Weituo statue is martial and literary, and is an artistic masterpiece in the colored sculptures of the Ming Dynasty. 3. Bodhisattva Hall: The thousand-handed and thousand-eyed Guanyin sits in the middle, and more than 400 Bodhisattvas are suspended around, as if they are in progress, with fluttering clothes and full walls of wind. 💰【Tickets and transportation]: The daily ticket is 35 yuan, and students only need 15 yuan, and those over 60 years old are free! The address is located in Qiaotou Village, six kilometers southwest of Pingyao County, Shanxi Province. It is recommended to drive by yourself or travel with a group. ✅️【Travel suggestions]: It is recommended to go in the morning to avoid the peak of the flow of people. Keep quiet when visiting and respect this thousand-year tranquility. You can bring a notebook to record your feelings, or take some unique angles to leave unforgettable memories. Have a good time! 😊
