Move over, virtual landscapes—this ancient pagoda in Shanxi is stealing the spotlight! The Feihong Pagoda, part of the Guangsheng Temple complex, has skyrocketed to fame after appearing in the smash-hit game Black Myth: Wukong. 🏯💥 Now, gamers and travelers alike are flocking to see the real-life inspiration behind the game’s stunning visuals.
Standing at 47 meters tall, this octagonal marvel isn’t just a pretty backdrop—it’s a world record holder 🌍 since 2018 for being the tallest colorful glazed pagoda. Built in 147 AD (yes, you read that right!), the structure’s 13 levels are adorned with jaw-dropping glazed tiles featuring dragons, phoenixes, and warrior guardians. Even after centuries, its hues remain #InstaWorthy. 📸
