The murals of Yongle Palace in Ruicheng, Shanxi, where games come to life, are absolutely stunning!

At the junction of the loess plateau of southern Shanxi and the fertile Central Plains🌄 On the ancient Wei Kingdom ruins north of Ruicheng County stands a palace that has traveled through 700 years of time—Yongle Palace🏯 🎨 Famous for its murals, this site is a nationally protected cultural relic. It has gained new life in the digital age thanks to its connection with the phenomenon-level game "Black Myth: Wukong"✨ Past and Present: ✅ Originally built as the "Lü Gong Temple" to commemorate the Taoist ancestor Lü Dongbin ✅ During the Mongol Yuan dynasty, when the Quanzhen Taoism flourished, it was elevated to "Great Pure Yang Longevity Palace" ✅ Alongside Zhongnan Mountain's Chongyang Palace and Beijing's Baiyun Temple, it is one of the three main ancestral temples of Quanzhen Taoism👑 ✅ Commonly called "Yongle Palace" because it is located in Yongle Town, the hometown of Lü Dongbin 🌟 Legendary Story: In the 1950s, due to the Three Gorges Hydroelectric Project, this architectural treasure underwent a rare event in world architectural history— ❗ It was entirely relocated brick by brick from its original site in Yongle Town to its current location, a remarkable feat in cultural heritage preservation👍 📍 Address: Yongle Town, Ruicheng County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province 🕰️ Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (may vary by season) 💰 Ticket Price: Approximately 60 RMB per person 🚗 Transportation: Recommended to drive or hire a car to visit
