Shuanglin Temple in Pingyao, a filming location for the game Black Myth: Wukong.

🎈Hey, everyone! Today I want to talk about a place I really like—Shuanglin Temple in Pingyao. 🌟The first time I walked into Shuanglin Temple, I was truly amazed. The ancient buildings seemed to transport me back hundreds of years. I later learned that Shuanglin Temple was built during the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Wuping era of the Northern Qi Dynasty. That's a long time ago! It was originally called "Zhongdu Temple", but was later renamed due to the saying "Shuanglin Nirvana" after the death of Sakyamuni. After all these years, it's like a treasure forgotten by time, quietly waiting for people to discover it. 🌈The architecture of Shuanglin Temple is like a castle, with rammed earth walls all around that have a special texture and give a very solid feeling. Inside the temple, the three courtyards are well-arranged, and the eleven halls each have their own characteristics. The glazed tiles on the roofs sparkle in the sun, the painted beams and pillars are exquisitely beautiful, and the decorations around the Buddha statues are incredibly delicate. Every detail tells the wisdom and hard work of ancient craftsmen. The colored sculptures here are all over 600 years old, each one a treasure of time. They are all different and lifelike, as if telling ancient stories. 🎊Shuanglin Temple is known as the "Treasure House of Oriental Colored Sculpture Art", and even UNESCO calls it a "real, unique treasure". The popular game Black Myth: Wukong was filmed here, which has made more people see the unique charm of Shuanglin Temple. 🙏In the golden autumn, why not come to Shuanglin Temple in this beautiful season, feel the tranquility and sacredness, and pray for yourself and your family. I believe you will fall in love with this place full of stories, just like me.
