Ever wanted to time-travel to the Tang Dynasty? Now you can—virtually! A new AR postcard lets you explore the East Hall of Foguang Temple, a 1,200-year-old architectural gem hidden in China’s Wutai Mountains. Just scan the card with your phone, and bam—you’re walking under ancient wooden beams adorned with intricate carvings, all from your living room.
Dubbed 'China’s treasure' by historians, Foguang Temple is one of only three surviving Tang-era wooden structures. Its East Hall is a masterpiece of symmetry and craftsmanship, reflecting the golden age of Chinese culture. Now, AR tech resurrects its faded glory, letting you zoom in on lotus-shaped pillars and faded murals like never before!
This isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a vibe. Imagine snapping selfies with digitized Tang-era monks () or 'touching' artifacts banned from real-world handling. Perfect for history buffs, design geeks, or anyone craving a cultural escape without jet lag.
